kAna ezhaippan
thirukoodal kooda- mazhaipEr aruvi
maNivarandRi vandhizhiya yAnai veruvi
aravodungum verppu” Not being able to tolerate the sorry state of the ignorant jeevatmas
suffering in samsAram, azhvar started advising them (parOpadEsam). But now the beauty of emperuman and the
divya desam (thiruvenkata hill) engulfed azhvar’s pity for the jeevatmas thereby
immersing azhvar in the enjoyment of the beauty of emperuman and his divya
desam. (azhaippan
thiruvEnkataththAnai)
I
will call the lord of seven hills.
Do you also call him like us for getting wealth, money, children and
other wishes? Or do you call him to attain moksha like the
jnanis? (kAna)
Not
for both the above. I will call him
to enjoy his darshan with my eyes.
“govindarkOr kuRREval emmai piravi seiyAmE eni pOi seiyum tavaththAlen”
Leaving the opportunity to enjoy his divine darshan here itself why should I
take efforts to go to a moksha to attain his divine darshan. When azhvar doesn’t even want moksha
what to say about the other bhogas/pleasures. (ezhaippan
thirukoodal kooda)
I will practice koodal for the purpose of reaching him. Koodal means- first put a big
circle. Inside further put rounds.
Then count the rounds two at a time if the final result is even, then our wish
will be fulfilled. This practice
has been explained in the arumpadha vurai for nAchiyar thirumozhi-4. With whom do you want to unite?
ThiruvEnkataththAnai kooda (Union with
thiruvenkatamudaiyan) (mazhaipEr
aruvi maNivarandRi vandhizhiya yAnai veruvi aravodungum verppu kooda thirukoodal
ezhaippan) During
the rainy season the big waves bring to shore number of glittering gems. Mistaking the same to be firebrick the
elephants run for safety similarly the snakes run to their shelter considering
the gems to be lightning.
Otherwise, the elephants that fear seeing the gems run to safety and land
up in entering the mouths of the snakes (malaipAmbu) that appear to be like the
entrance of a cave. I would like to attain that emperuman who resides in such a divya desam, declares azhvar. (To
