arugal il aaya perum seer amarargaL aadhi mudhalvan

karugiyaneela nanmenivaNNan senthaamaraikkaNNan

porusiRaippuL uvandhERum poomagaLaar thanikkELvan

orugathiyin suvai thandhittozhililan ennOdudanE

 

The Lord who has infinitely

auspicious qualities and without any blemish what so ever, the first cause of the eternal souls, who has

the dark hue radiant with the luster of blue sapphire and eyes like red lotus,

who ascends Garuda with pleasure and who is the most beloved of Lakshmi, has

joined me enabling me to experience all kinds of joy due to His presence in me.

 

Azvar marvels at the soulabhya of

the Lord who makes His devotees experience the same joy like the eternal souls.

He possesses infinitely auspicious qualities and there is no defect in Him.

This fact has been ascertained by Mahalakshmi Herself when she came out of the

milky ocean. In srimadbhagavatham we have the following sloka:

 

vilokayanthee niravadhyam aathmanaH

padham Dhruvamcha avyabhichaarisadhgaNam

ganDharva yakshaasurasidDhachaaraNa

thraivishtapeyaadhishu na anvavindhatha

 

She searched for one who is blemishless, abode of unswerving good

qualities, and eternal but could not find one

among the yakshas, gandharvas , devas etc. and she said, after

eliminating everyone in whom she found

some defect,

sumangalaH yaScha na kangshathe maam, "there is only one who has

all auspicious qualities with no blemish but he does now desire for me."

 

Then Srimadbhagavatham says,

 

evam vimrSya avyabhichaari

sadhguNaiH

varam nijaikaaSrayathayaa guNaaSrayam

vavre varam sarvagunairapekshitham

ramaa mukundham nirapeksham eepsitham

 

Discriminating thus Lakshmi chose

Lord Mukundha who had immutable good qualities, who was the abode of all gunas

being Himself the abode of Himself a who had no desire for anything , to be her

husband who is the best of all.

 

This is the implication of the

expression poomaLaar thanikkELvan

arugal il aaya perum seer- the one who has infinitely auspicious

qualities.

 

amarargaL aadhi mudhalvan- He is the first

cause of even the nithysooris.

 

neelam nanmEni karugiya vaNNan- who has the hue of a dark blue

sapphire.

 

senthaamaraikkaNNan- Whose eyed are like red lotuses.

 

poru SiRai puL uvandhu ERum- The

one who gets on the bird with beautiful wings (Garuda) with pleasure. The

pleasure is for both. The Lord obliges Garuda by getting on him whenever Garuda

wishes in order to please him.

 

oru gathi in suvai-He gives versatile enjoyment by His various

actions. This refers to the experiences Azvar had when He manifested in all parts of the Azvar

successively.
