 MODERATION VS 
AGGRAVATION 
Thirumangai AzhvAr should have jumped in 
glee. His outbursts should have exhibited exuberance and happiness. EmeprumAn 
blessed him with causeless mercy. Kaliyan however 
commences 
'vADinEan vADi' 
. 
Nam AzvAr misses the Lord very much. He 
pines for Him. The Lord delays for His arrival. Then He comes. What happens? 
Instead of moderating the sitaution, it aggravates. ParAnkusa nAyaki becomes 
wild with anger. She refuses to meet His eye and is extremely cross with 
EmperumAn. 
min iDai 
madavAr -6-2 of ThiruvAimozhi. 
These are not isolated incidents confined 
to these two. KulasEkarazvar is also so furious that he 
challenges 
'Oh! Lord.Let me wait for your arrival and 
exhaust my wrath' 
'varudhiyEal en sinam 
thErvan nAnEA' 
What does this mean? 
One expects to attain eternal happiness on 
Lord's arrival. They are submerged in distress calling for Him, fainting, 
sending emissaries and so on. Spending sleepless time, they are in tears. 
 
The Lord's blessing aggravates rather than 
moderates the feelings. 
It stokes rather assuaging the passions. 
 
We ordinary souls perhaps, feel happy on 
the blessings of the Lord. They who are epitome of bakthi pAravasyam suffer 
pangs of separation -bakthi pAravasyathAlEa 
AzvArgaL-svb- cannot but display the growing desire transforming into 
emotional outbursts in public. 'The tiff between the svarUpam being confident 
that He will come (pEARu thappAdhu enRu 
thuNindhirukkai) and elevate us and the expectation -thvarai to 
reach Him instantaneously(pEARRukkuth thvarikkai)' 
goes on and the thvarai overtakes the composure. 
This is what happens in 
ThirunedunthaNdakam. The ThirunAmam of EmperumAn awakes parkAla nAyaki 
 
'vaLarthadhanAl payan 
peRREAn' - but makes her feel more. The thriunamam aggravates the 
position whcih is also seen with parAnkusa nAyaki - kaNNan 
nAmamEa kuzharik konREr. 
What is expected to be the medicine is 
becoming the cause for concern -kadal vaNNar idhu seidhAr 
kAppAr AREA? 
Well, SvAmi Azhagia maNavALap perumAL 
nAyanAr excellently analysis this syndrome and explains that 
 
EmperumAn breeds the feeling for Him 
-increases the expectations for Him in geometrical proportions -ini ini enRa irupadhinkAl. 
Who can question His methods. Instead of 
Modeartion He Aggravates. The Moderator Himself 
aggravates.
