ANDAL'S ENVY CONCH'S PRIDE
It was seen in our earlier postings that AzhwAr's
and AndAL are greatly enchanted by the conch. AndAL's fascination is
greater. She asks the white conch, the experience with the Lord. She
questions whether the experience should be exclusive or should be shared with
the devotees? All these are in the 7th ten of nAchiAr thiru mozhi
"karuppUram nARumO!? kamalap pU
nARumO!?"
Apart from the fascination what is the reason for
such a trance? The conch is being asked this becuase he is very close to the
Lord. he also enjoys from the Lord what AndAL desires; unlike AndAL he is
always with the Lord; The chakaram has to leave the Lord in case of any
emergency but the conch plays his role right from the divine mouth of the Lord
When the Lord shows Himself unto the devotees He gives vision with the conch.
Hence, AndAL asks the pAnchajanyam the experience with the Lord.
She first requests him to explain the taste of the
Lords mouth. Whether it is like karuppUram or is it like kamalp pU?
Is it sweet? I desire to know this truth.Since, you
have tasted His mouth during His daily routine why dont you tell me that?
Oh !pAnchajanyam- your birth place is the
demon panchajanan's stomach. However, you have landed up in the Lord's diving
hand. Here, you are booming the opponents to terror. Where have you born? Where
you are now? the Lord does acts as per the karmAs. Those who do kuRRam and
guNam as per karmAs cannot be equal to you.
oh!pAnchajanyAm; you are like a full moon placed
atop the mountain, resting sweetly on the hands of vAsudEvan giving Him the
added beauty of your presence. Indeed you are wealthy. How? Since you never go
away from the Lord.
