Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha

Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

Paasuram-84

 

"pidirum manamilEn pinjnagan thaNNOdum

  Edirvanava enakku nErAn-adhirum

  kazharkAla mannanaiyE kaNNanaiyE nAlum

  tozhumkAdal poondEn thozil"

 

Emperuman is exceptional in charity and I am peculiar for my devotion declares thirumazhisaipiran.

 

(pidirum manamilEn) I do not have a wavering mind.   My mind is stranded in bhagavat vishayam.

 

Is there anyone like you?

 

(pinjnagan thaNNodum edirvan) "eeshvarAt jnanamanvichchEth" [mAtsya 67-41] [Aspire knowledge from siva] I am on par with siva (filled with knowledge and capable to grant the same to others) in this aspect.  

 

Then are you equal to siva?

 

(avan enakku nErAn) No in many other aspects he cannot match me.   While filled with sattva guna rudra prostrates emperuman realizing him to be the supreme.  But at other times while filled with rajo tamo gunas he even goes to the extent of fighting a war against the lord considering himself to be the all supreme.   How can he then be called equal to azhvar?

 

Moreover,

 

(adhirum kazharkAla mannanaiyE) The lord who wears the ornament of valour in his anklets that constantly makes noise since he is tenaciously fighting all the enemies of his devotees.   This shows his greatness (paratvam)

 

(kaNNanaiyE) Krishna, born as a cow boy showing his simplicity (sowlabhyam)

 

(nAlum thozhum thozhil) my only job is to worship that lord filled with both greatness and simplicity daily.

 

(kAdhal pooNdEn) I am not doing it for some results but it is due to my devotion I always engage myself in bhagavat bhakthi.

 

Can rudra who even went to the extent of fighting against Krishna in the bhAnAsura yuddha ever equate me who is always meditating on the divine acts and qualities of Krishna with utmost love and devotion?

 

At this point our poorvacharyas rightly quote the episode of dialogue between rudra and thirumazhisaipiran.   Rudra himself crowned thirumazhisaipiran with the name "bhakthisarar" [essence of bhakthi] that has to be recollected here.
