SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is: NammAzhwAr?s Thiruvaaymozhi 8.2.1 nangaL varivaLai yaayaNG kaaLO! nammutai Ethalar munbu naaNi, nungat kiyaanonRu raikkum maaRRam nOkkugin REnengum kaaNa maattEn, changam charindhana chaayi zandhEn thadamulai ponniRa maayththa LarndhEn, vengaN paRavaiyin paaga NnengOn vEngada vaaNaNai vEndich chenRE. 8.2.1 In this ten, NammAzhwAr gets into NayikA bhAvam. He declared that there is none but Him to enable one to reach Him. But the Lord has NOT helped AzhwAr to show His Thirumukham (Face). Hence, he gets into "nayaki" bhaavam and narrates her pitiable situation to her friends. Oh My dearest friends, (ones who wear lovely bangles!) I am ashamed of telling my situation to our (enemy) mothers. (Enemy because they do not support us nor are they concerned; they know only to scold us!). But I can at least speak to you. Even then, I am Not able to tell all that I experience. My heart has gone to ThiruvEnkatanAthan. I went to see Him with great desire in my heart, because I have fallen in love with Him who rides on GarudA. (He should have actually come to me; Instead, I went to Him). Even then, since, I could NOT see Him and fulfill my desires, I am suffering terribly. My bangles have simply fallen off (due to my wrists getting thin). I have lost my usual complexion and brightness. Due to my suffering and pangs of separation, my breasts have lost their Golden colour and become pale. My body has become exhausted. Our nammAzhwAr has gone into a "nAyikA" bhaavam and sings as if he is "parAngusa nAyaki". (The purushotthaman is the only purushan and all other beings are supposed to be sthrees; So it is yet another way of showing bhakti and yearning for His grace) here is azhwAr's outpourings from the lady azhwAr(paraangusa naayaki). Naayaki bhAvam ? means: taking the role of the Mistress or wife or the heroine of poetic composition of the AzhwArs when they convert themselves in their minds as the prototypical woman in search of their Lord and express in anguish their suffering at separation from their Naayakan ( Lord ) or express their joy in union with Him as thier Naayakan. NammAzhwAr and Thrumangai Azhwar created moving paasurams, when they assumed the role ofthe Lord's mistress. Among Acharya purushas, Swamy Desikan has composed in Naayaki BhAvam.
