RaamAyaNam:
Today , we will commence

the anubhavam of SatakOpar
AndhAti by Dharmika Ratna Pradheepa Sri U.Ve. N.R. Krishnaswamy
IyengAr (1886-1966 C.E.).
SatakOpar AndhAti
avatAram
The great Tamil poet
Kambar was a contemproary of Swamy Naatha Muni , who was serving Lord
Ranganatha at Srirangam after having been blessed
by
Swamy NammAzhwAr with the
upadEsam of NaalAyira dhivya Prabhandham .
The poet Kambar was from
the dhivya dEsam of TerazhundhUr and had completed the illustrious
Vaibhavam of Lord Raamachandra . He planned to go to Srirangam for the
inauguration of his kaavyam . His inspiration for the Tamil Kaavyam was the
Sanskrit Moolam of Sriamth RaamaayaNam by Adhi Kavi Vaalmeeki
.
Kambar arrived at
Srirangam.He went to Sri RanganAyaki ThAyAr sannidhi for the maiden
presentation (arangERRam) of his kaavyam .During the
arangERRam,
Kambar arrived at Hiranya
SamhAra section and began to recite" disai tiRanthu aNDam keeRi sirittathu
senkatccheeyam " . At that juncture , the svathai ( made of brick and
mortar)
statue of SrI Narasimhan
situated opposite Swamy Naatha Muni came alive and moved His head in approval
.Swamy Naatha Muni understood now the divine nature of Kambar's poetry and sent
Kambar to recieve Teerta , Parivatta-SaThAri maryAdhais ( honors) at Lord
RanganAthan's sannidhi .At His sanctum,
Lord asked thru His
archakar whether Kambar had sung about " Namm SaThakOpan" in his composition .
Kambar understood now that Periya PerumaaL was suggesting that he come back
for honors after creating a poem about Swamy NammAzhwAr, who is the dear
Paadhukai of the Lord . Kambar returned to his quarters and
created during that night 100 verses about the Vaibhavam of Swamy
NammAzhwAr in the AndhAti format of ThiruvAimozhi .
Next morning Kambar
returned to Lord Rananathar's sannidhi , recited SaThakOpar andhAti first and
next his RaamAyaNam ,recieved the honors from the Lord.
The Narasimha Moorthy who
endorsed the HiraNya SamhAra chapter was later consecrated and moved to a
separate sannidhi and is worshipped even today as MettU azhagiya Singar at
srirangam.
THERE ARE FOUR
TANIYANS COMPOSED BY DIFFERENT POETS FOR SATAKOPAR ANDHAATI . We will study
them before studying the paasurams of SatakOpar AndhAti .
