Great Distress -Greatest
Distress
ATRAm-karai vAzh maram
pOle anjuginREAn-ATRath thuLangA
niRpan
AzvAr after having preached the world reg.
dhEvathAnthra worship, Thirumangai AzvAr was in deep distress.Still in this
samsAram, full of eternal problems and cycles.
Shunning and spurning this, Kaliyan longs
deeply for release from this world.
He compares himself
with
The tree on the banks of the river. The
tree can get uprooted any moment during the flood.
ATram karai vAzh maram
pOle-anjuginREAn 11-8-1;
The tree does not have knowledge so does
not fear.After having obtained gnAnam from none other than EmperumAn,AzvAr
fears, fears for this world.
This is the great difference between the
tree and AzvAr. When it comes to danger it is same. When it comes to feeling of
distress,AzvAR feeeling is
pathetic. that is why 'anjuginREAn'
He compares himself with the sailors who
are struck amidst beastly winds
kAtrathidai paTTa
kalavar manam pOle ATRath thuLangA
niRpan 11-8-2;
The sailors on the boat fear death. AzvAr
gets all the fears on himself. They fear death physically.
That is why ATrath
thuLangA niRpan.
He compares himself with a serpant under
the same roof
pAmbOADu oru kUraiyil
payinRAr pOle 11-8-3;
He compares himself with the ant between
fires on two sides
iru pAdu eri
koLLiyinuL eRumbu pOle 11-8-4;
He compares himself with the tree
leaves which are being felled by the shepherd from time to
time
'idaiyan eRindha maramEA
othirAmEA' 11-8-6
This tree is dry where the shepherd had
cut it off. it is green where it is not. Likewise, AzvAr is mixture
of knowledge and fear.
That is why 'idaiyan eRindha maramEA'
veLLathidai patta nari inam
pOlEA 11-8-5
The fox clan get trapped in the
flood
AzvAr is distressed not like a single fox
but the grief of the whole group.
