Dear BhakthAs :
Let us start today with the study of the Seventh ThiruppaLLiyezucchi
Paasuram , which takes this form :
AntharatthamararkaL kootangaL ivayO?
arumtava munivarum marutharumivaro?
Indhiranaanayum thAnum vanthivAnO ?
EmperumAn Unn kOilin vaasal
Sundarar nerukka vicchAdharar nookka
iyakkarum mayanginar thiruvadi thozuvAn
antharam paaridamillai maRRaRithuvO?
ArangatthammA ! paLLi yezhantharuLAyE
The translation of the Fifth Paasuram by
Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan Swamy is as follows :
Oh Lord of Srirangam ! Several important personages have
assembled here (at the entrance of Your holy shrine ) to pay
obeisance to Your pair of feet . They are many hosts of Gods from
the celestial region , many great sages of avowed austeriities ,
the Maruths , as well as God Indhra with the elephant ( AirAvata) .
Several Sundaraas (Gandharvaas) and VidhyAdharaas
have come and they stand pressing each other very closely .
The YakshAs have also turned up with earnest devotion .
There is no moving space left at the entrance of Your holy
shrine (Koil) both up in the sky and below on the earth.
Oh Lord ! Wake up please and bless them and adiyEn .
Special Notes:
****************
(1) In the previous paasuram , Thondardippodi referred to " Muppatthu
Moovar (amarar) " that took into account the 12 AdithyAs , 11 RudrAs ,
8 Vasus and SubramaNyan and Maruths ( 49 in individual count ) and
Aswin dEvAs (2) .
(2) This group always arrives at BhagavAn's sannidhi as per
Poygai AzhwAr's 52nd Paasuram of Mudhal ThiruvandhAthi :
YeNmar pathinoruvar yeeraRuvar ohrurivar
vaNNa malar yEnthi vaikalum- - - naNNi
orumalayAl paravi oovAthu , yeppOthum
ThirumAlaik-kaithozhuvar senRu
YeNmar here is ashta Vasus ; Pathinoruvar are EkAdasa RudrAs ;
YeerAruvar are the dhvAdasa AadhithyAs ; Ohruiruvar are the two
Awins. They have arrived with the celestial blossoms in their hands
at this early morning for Your worship.
(3) " Iyakkarum mayanginar" : In that huge assembly of gods and
demigods , there is an active jostling for the best position to have
the darsanam of Lord RanganAtha. In that hustle , some move forward
and others faint . The YakshAs faint as the GandharvAs and VidhyAdarAs
press forward .
(4) The arrival of IndhrA , deva gaNams , Maruths , VidhyAdharAs ,
Rishi GaNams assembled in front of Lord RanganAthA's sannidhi
are described in the 14th SlOkam of Sri RanganAtha SuprabhAtham:
IndhrAdhayas-suragaNA: maruthasccha sarvE
VidhyAdharA munigaNA bhuvi dEva maargE
vyApthas-samastha viBhudhaa: tava darsanArTam
Sri Ranga Pattana pathE ! Tava SuprabhAtham
(5) The presence of Dhik PaalakAs ( Indhran , Agni , Yaman ,
Nirrudhi , VaruNan , Vaayu , KubhEran and Haran ) standing
before the Lord on the SuprabhAtham occasion is described
in the 16th slOkam of Sri VenkatEsa SuprabhAtham:
SevAparA: Siva SurEsa krusAnudharma
rakshOmbhunATa pavamAna dhanAdhinATa:
BhaddhAnjali pravilasannija seersha dEsA:
Sri VenkatAchalapathE Tava SuprabhAtham
(6) "arumtava Munivarum " : the Saptha Rishis (Athri ,Vasishtar
et al) , The Yogi srEshtAs like Sananthanar have assembled
in front of Your garbha graham . Please awaken and bless them .
(7) " antharam paaridam illai " : as these noble souls have assembled
in front of Your courtyard , there is no moving space left for anyone to
enter , both up in the sky and below on the earth .
ThoNDaradippodi continues with the descriptions of the personages
assembled in the next two paasurams of His ThiruppaLLiyezucchi.
We will take up these two paasurams together in the next posting .
We should be blessed to be in such company during the SuprabhAtham
at Sri RanganAthan Sannidhi .
