                                                            ANDAL'S ENVY CONCH'S PRIDE
 
 
In the previous posting, it was seen that the divine conch breathes fire into the minds of opponents. This has been spelt out by other AzhwAr also. For instance, bhUdhathAzhwAr in second thiru vandhAdhi 71 mentions "idangai, valampuri ninRArpa.." The conch makes booming sound from the divine left hand of the Lord.
 
The role of the Lord is to remove the difficulties of the devotees and to fulfill their wishes. By the fiery actions, the pAnchajanyam, the hindrances of the devotees are sought to be removed. What is it that it does for fulfilling the wishes of the devotees?
 
This is explained in nAchiAr thiru mozhi : " pUngkOL thirumugathu maduthUdhiya sangoliyum.." 9-9.
 
During krishNAvathAram, sri rukminip pirAtti was restlessly waiting for the Lord, lest sisupAlan would be a threat to Her. Her, eagerness, anxiety was reaching its boiling point and culminated into extreme worrisome situation. At that time, the sound of the conch pAnchajanyam, ' bum, bum' reached sri rukminip pirAtti and relieved Her greatly. She was saved, saved from the anxiety, saved from the restlessness, as the arrival of the Lord was signalled by the divine conch.
 
AndAL is asking the Lord - when am I going to hear such  a sound and get myself rescued? She thus awaits the sound.
 
Thus, what is terrific noise to the opponents is music and melody to the devoted souls.The devotees await with zest the din of the sound, music to their ears. It is akin to manna dew from the skies.
 
is that all?
