Dear BhakthAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr : 

In this posting , adiyEn will cover the second Decad of
Thiruvaimozhi to illustrate examples of AzhwAr"s
anubhavam of the Dayaa of the Lord.

AzhwAr focuses here on the concepts that Sriman Narayanan
is ANUBHAVA BHOGYAN , UPEYAN and OUR PURUSHAARTHAM .
The fourth, fifth , sixth and seventh sections of this Patthu are considered
important references to the Dayaa of the Lord.

2.4.1: ADIYAADI AHAM KARAINTHU -----Here , the mother of ParAnkusa Nayaki
addresses the Lord . Inspite of the mother's tone of complaint about the
treatment accorded by the Lord to her daughter , the message that comes
out is that Sriman NarayaNan has the kalyaNa guNam of ASRITHA VYSANA
NIGRAHATVAM . He is known for His quality of removing the sorrows
of those , who have sought refuge in Him .

Swami Desikan states that the message of pasuram ,
2.4.7( ULLULAAVI ) is TRAANEH DHATTAAVADHAANAM
aspect of the Lord . Thus , He is deeply focussed on protecting His
Asritha Janams out of his Dayaa GuNam and Anukampaa for them.

In 2.4.10 ( YEZHAI PETHAI -- ), Swami Desikan points out that
Sriman NarayaNa has SATPREKSHAA RAKSHITHAARAM
quality . His VYAKTHA KEERTHI ( manifest fame ) is that
he is ASRITHA VYASANA NIGRAHAN ( Banisher of the tribulations of
those , who sought refuge at His holy feet ) . He protects ( Rakshithaaram )
the Satprekshaa ( that clear understanding of the Paratvam of
the Lord by the Righteous ones gained form their study of Saasthraas ) ..

In 2.5 decad (ANTHAAMATTHU ANBU --) , Sriman Narayana"s ASRITHA
SAMSLESHA PRIYAM out of His KaruNa for the asrithaas is covered
according to Swami Desikan . Azhwaar exults in the experience of
union with the Lord , who out of His magnanimous KaruNaa
united with the longing Azhwaar .

In decad 2.6 ( VAIKUNTHAA -- ) , MaNavALa Maamuni points out
that the Lord was filled with Joy , when Azhwaar declared that
he will not leave the Lord's feet even for a moment . The Lord seems to
have become stronger as a result of that declaration of the
Ananya Bhakthi of Azhwaar. Swami Desikan has similar views
in Taatparya RatnaavaLi and states there that the Lord is
ASRITHA VIRAHA SAKITHAN . The Lord can not bear the thought of
separation from His Bhakthas due to his Dayaa and Anukampa for them .
Swami Desikan describes the state of the Lord in Dramidopanishad
Saaram as SVAVAIMUKHYA TRASTHAN (i-e) , The Lord is afraid
as to whether the Bhakthan will not show his face and stay
away from Him. That is the extent of Anukampaa for the Bhakthaas.

In decad 2.7 (KESAVAN TAMAR-- ) , the Lord's Compassion and
KaruNaa is refered to . MaNavALa Maamuni intreprets the central
message of this section this way : The Lord confers auspiciousness
on seven generations that went ahead of the Bhaktha and the seven
generations coming after the Bhaktha . In both Taatparya RatnaavaLi
and Dramidopanishad Saaram , Swami Desikan has similar thoughts.
Swami states that the Lord's compassion for the bhaktha extends beyond
the Bhaktha to latter's family and friends ( SUHRUTH OF AASRITHA
JANA SAMBHANDHIS ) .

It has been our tradition not to have Archana, Ghanta sevanam ( Using the
bell in service ) and playing of instruments like Nathasawaram., while
Thiruvaimozhi or other portions of Naalaaiyra Divya Prabhandham
are recited infront of the Lord. The reason has been given that the Lord
has so much overflowing Dayaa for his Bhakthas(Azhwaars) and enjoys
the togetherness with them that He does not want to be interrupted by
any distractions, even if they are meant well . He will gladly postpone
such upachaarAs to another time .

IN decad 2.8 ( ANAIVATARAVANAI --) , Swami Desikan states that his
compassion leads to the boon of Mukthi for the Bhakthan. Hence
the Lord is revered as MUKTHI SOWKHYAN , MUKTHI SAARASYA
DHAATHAA AND MUKTHIRASATHAN. He gives His Bhaktha the
ultimate joy of climbing the Naagasanam and embracing the Lord
in Parama Padham out of His Daya for them . That is why our Acharyas
from Swami Desikan to the current ones state 'MUKTHI SOWKHYAM
MUKUNDEH ". The 518th sahasra Naamam salutes VishNu as :
OM MUKUNDAAYA NAMA: " . Here the name Mukundha has been
intrepreted by Parasara Bhatta as " Mukthim Dadhaathithi " Mukundha : .
This Mukundha lakshanam , which is closely associated with His
dayaa guNam and Anukampaa for our suffering state is then the
central theme of the second decad of SatakOpa's Thiruvaimozhi .
