Sri Parthasarathy Dileepan's write up on Thirumazhisai siththar was precise and

noteworthy. I would love to acknowledge his modest approach when he said about

the "thiruch chantha viruththam" and its meanings. Mr. Pathasarhaty was kind

enough in providing the inner meanings of one of the paasurams through a

personal mail to me soemdays back. Though I may not want to reproduce the same

paasuram here (I hope Mr. PD may want to redo it by himself someday), I want to

add to his note on Thirumazhisai piraaN and quote from the thriuk kudanthai

paasuram again (I had quoted this paasuram in the thala puraaNam posted here

earlier). Aazhwaar had exculsively delivered six paasurams in series on this

LORD. "viruth tham" means "progression" and most of the paasurams are in

arithmetic progressions (of numbers one to eight) arranged in an unique order

to explain the attributes of the LORD. However, this one paasuram was the

reason for amuthan's kidanthavaaru ezhunthiruntha kOlam (kOlam has to read as

beautiful posture).

 

 

nadantha kaalkaL nonthavO nadunga NYaalamEnamaay

kidantha mey kulungavO vilangu maal varaich churam

kadantha kaal parantha kaavirik kudanthaiyuL

kidantha vaaRezhunthirunthu "pEsu"! "vaazhi kEsanE"

 

 

Oh Lord , having walked all the way down to SriLanka, are you tired and

stretching your legs ? or having carried the booLogam in varaaha avathaarma are

you worn out and are taking a nap ? can't you lean forward and talk to me from

your bed itself ?

 

The Lord of thirukudanthai responded and woke up and rose

from his bed in a posture (like easy chair posture) with one hand attempting to

support his head. At this time, thriumazhisai aazhwaar realised that he

unnecessarily disturbed the LORD from his yoga nishtai and prayed to him

 

"vaazhi kEsanEie "Live as it is, Lord kEsavaa".

 

The Lord stayed in that position and this sayanam is called uthiyOga sayanm

(lord is called uththaya sayani) or kidntha vaaru ezhuntha sayanam. Some days

back whenI wrote the thala puraaNam, I had explained about the "soundaryam" of

both moolavar (araavamuthan) and ursavar (saarangapaaNi). Some one followed the

thread and said they cannot be silent from saying that the ursava moorthy of

their town was the most good looking. Out of strong bakthi for the Lord each

one will have the same feeling about their Lord from their respective town. I

am from Kumbakonam. Further more to add that the following puraaNams talk

about this moorthis who are "soundaryam pRasiththam"

 

 

1. brammaanda puraaNam

2. paathma puraaNam

3. pavishya puraaNam (32 aththiyaayam for this temple alone)

 

Though I donot want to derail the intent of the post, I have to make this

comment on the soundaryam of the Lord from puraaNams and mention here that it

(the beauty of amuthan) is even more enhanced by the "kidanthavaaru

ezhunthirunthu" episode of thirumazhisai aazhwaar as this is the only and only

sayanap perumal who looks into one's eyes from his kidanthavaaru

ezhunthirunthu pose ie half risen from his bed. All the other "Rangans" are in

"yOga nishtai" . This beauty can be seen and cannot be explained or countered

by small words. Thirumazhisai attained moksham here in amuthan's sannithi and

his brindaavanam is near to this temple in saath thaarath theru.
