EngaL em iRai em
pirAn
EngaL iRai - Em iRai
-EmpirAn
In the first pAsuram, first few words,
AzvAr focusses on the uniquness of ThirukOshtiyUr
sowmyan.
'EngaL em iRai em
pirAn imayOArku nAyakan' 9-10-1 of Periya
Thirumozhi;
EngaL em iRai em
pirAn
Who is this ThirukOshtiyUr
EmperumAn?
He is our Lord ? He is My Lord ? He
is here for my sake - my Lord.
engaL iRai ? em iRai? engaL em iRai.
The first pAsuram brings to the fore the
unique nature of this archAvathAra EmperumAn. Being the Lord of the souls of the
higher worlds -imayOArkku nAyakan- is nothing great.
Here, amidst lot of obstacles and this
world of sins, the vuraga mel aNaiyAn
descended and settled here for our sake. It is this typicality that
sparkles.
That is why Thirumangai AzvAr declares not
EngaL iRai not Em iRai but
EngaL Em
iRai -The exculisve Lord for us.
EmpirAn
Okay, here is the EmperumAn for our sake
exclusively. What is the grea use, if there is no nexus between Him and
us, the divine connexion will only be theoritical.
Here He graces us and the relationship
glitters and He takes kainkaryam from us
This is the greates upakAram He does to
us
that is why EmpirAn and
The Lord who is here exculisvely for us
blesses us and bestows His upakAram and gets kainkaryam
from
SvAmi Periya vAchAn piLLai provides us
with this connexion between the words 'engaL em iRai' and 'EmpirAn' in this wonderful
manner.
