SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

konREnpalluyiraik kuRikkOLonRilaamaiyinaal,
enREnumirandhaarkku inidhaagavuraitthaRiyEn,
kunREymEgamadhir kuLirmaamalaivEngkadavaa!,
anREvanNdhadainNdhEn adiyEnaiyaatkoNdaruLE.      1.9.3

Oh Lord, the One shows Himself so gracefully at
TirumalA, which is full of huge mountain like cool
rainy clouds! Due to no sense (for fellow beings- no
vivEkam), I have killed many lives. I have never ever 
offered food to beggars, when they begged me. I have
never ever uttered sweet pleasing words at anyone.
With all those (dis)qualifications, adiyEn has come to
You to get saved by You, Lord. Please save me and 
take me over to You as Your eternal servant.

AzhwAr in a state of repentance reminds himself and
reveals to the Lord  that he transgressed the Saastric
injunction ,"  Na sva vruthyA kadhAchana "

What the AzhwAr reminds the Lord is that due to his
prArabdha karmAs , he served all kinds of masters and
doted on various relationships with utmost intensity
that did not lead to the fruit of firm attachment to
the Lord's lotus feet. In a state of naicchiyam
(revulsion about his wasted days in sva vritthi as a
result of not devoting his time and energy on the
Sarva Gandhan and Sarva Bhandhu ). He had equated his
status to that of a lowly dog (nAyEn ) in the first
verse that has arrived. He implies like NammAzhwAr who
described himself before the very same Lord of
ThiruvenkaTam (Thiruvaimozhi paasuram: 3.4) as "
NeesanEn, NiraivonrumilEn" . 

In one of his ThirumAlai paasurams, Tondaradipodi
describes himself and his status this way :

" manathilOr Thooymai illai vaayilOr inn sollilai?
ennai ALudaiya koavae? ?

Oh Lord RanganAthA There is no purity in my thoughts.
There is no pleasing word coming out of my speech in
praise of You. I do not know the ways for upliftment
to attain your grace . I have now arrived at 
your sannithi and am standing before You with all my
lowly , ferocious and despicable traits. I am indeed
the AdhamAdhamAn ( Lowliest of the Lowliest). Please
bless me! 

Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLe SaraNam
