Subject: The Sanga Tamizh Maalai of ThiruppAvai and SatakOpar AndhAti: Two Anubhavam filled commentaries of Sri U.Ve.N.R.Krishnaswamy Iyengar of Mathurai: Part I

Sri:
 
Dear RasikAs of ThiruppAvai of ANDAL:
 
Dharmika Ratna Pradheepa Sri U.Ve. N.R. Krishnaswamy IyengAr lived amongst us from 1886-1966 C.E. He was an advocate in the City of Maturai known for its cultivation and growth of Sanga Tamizh . He was proficient in Sanskrit and in Tamil as well ;He served both as the Head of the Maturai Tamizh Sangam and the  Maturai Sanskrit Academy . He was a great upanyAsakar in VaishNavam topics . His devotion for AruLiccheyalkaLs of AzhwArs and Kavi Chakravarthy Kamban's RaamAyaNam and SatakOpar AndhAti was legendary . 
 
Dr.Hema Rajagopalan of Bangalore is Swamy's grand daughter and asked me to translate the two books released by him so that other students of TamiL can enjoy them . Inspite of my shortcomings to handle such  scholarly treatises , I accepted
Dr. Hema Rajagopalan's invitation and here I am . adiyEn will do my best to highlight the anubhavam of Maturai Sri NRK Swamy .U.Ve. Dr.V.N.Vedanta Desikan Swamy
has added special commentaries in these two books as a rasikar of Sri NRK Swamy's scholarship in ubhaya Vedantam . adiyen will cover them too . 
 
The second book is the anubhavam filled commentary of Swamy on Kavi Chakravarty Kambar on "SatakOpar AndhAti " , a devotion-laden tribute of Kambar to Swamy NammAzhwAr composed in one night in response to the command of the Lord of
Srirangam . Sri NRK Swamy was introduced to the nectar of Kamba RaamAyaNam at the tender age of Seven and memorized the whole text . Later in life , Swamy released a book on his anubhavam of SatakOpar AndhAti . This is another scholarly
treatise , which brings out the deep bhakti that Poet Kamban had for Swamy NammAzhwAr . Sri NRK Swamy's book covers the esoteric meanings of the individual verses of SatakOpar AndhAti .
 
adiyEn will post articles on both these books of Sri NRK Swamy in the New Year !

Dasasya vinnappam.. today kaisika ekadasi.  By this  mail. Small jagarana vrathanushthanam.

Once  in 1992, when I joined vedaparayana kainkaryam through TTD @ sri thooppul, I came to know that  not more than  800Gram rice   given per day including   two times  of aradhanam..&sambhavana Rs 120 sambhavana to archakas. then  started  trust in 1993,published  a books  “ mangalasasana  malar” at that time we  wanted only poorna aradhanam to swamy,  swamy has   vairagyam  as a bhoshnam. So no need any abharanams to swamy.

 

Last year only  this  kinkaryam (nithya) fulfilled for some  times   by sri sarathy’s commitment  through. You. We  are very happy after getting  sri sarathis support.u also relaxed  from my  disturbance , But this happy was  not continue a  long time , bcoz  now we want  to make swarnakavacham to swamy,& facing finance problem & giving truble  again to you, why  this? Just  I got an  one answer , this is a  nature  to all,  when one man reached one  his wishes, then he  wants one more.so we  can not escape from nature , otherwise  Vedas also may be  worthless.  Veda says “ samudra  iva hi kamah, nEvahi kamasyantOsthi,  na samudrasya” desire  is  equal  to sea   both have not end.

 So we called in tamil “ Asikku aLvEdu”

 

in 6th kandam of yajurvedam  we can  see this very nicely .

 

“sottharavedirabraveet, sarvan maya Kaman,,,”,,,,,,,,,,,,,.’

once  devas  (1)wanted  to  destroy  enemies (asuras)& they did some homas &  destroyed asuras, after this  they (2) wanted  prajas, &did some homas&got prajas,

they (3)wanted pasoon they got  pasoon, they  not satisfied ,again they(4) wanted  prathishtai,  did some homas&got prathishtai,but not stopped lastly they (5)wanted devataasisha upeyamaeti”did &got..the  vedavakyam is very  beautiful “ vitwa - akAmayanta” (4times) when they got one,  soon they want one another .

 

 Like this  after getting nithyanaittika kainkaryam support  we  finished   renovation kainkaryam through  Coimbatore Ravi sam. After this now swarna kavacham, then  which ? He will decide .

plz   help us in   swarnakavachakainkarya.. I know very well  about your  writing’s power.  Somany asthikas  given respect like  to swamy desikan  sri sookthi.

 Why this year we came to swarnakavacha,kainkarya, there is a reason, this year  sri kethandapatti swamy avaatara  year.celebrated  in somany  place . srik swamy   given rathnangi to thiruvaheendrapuram desikan ,  but  @ avatarasthalam even  no  swarnakavacham, till today.

Actually  sri K swamy build  up a big abhisheka,asthana  mantapam @srithoppul by Sri TPKswamy’s reuest through  some asithaka  nattukottai chetty sishyan, so that    even   to day we can see sri Kswamy  prathima in one sthabam. Next to kolapadi

Dasasya vinnappam.. today kaisika ekadasi.  By this  mail. Small jagarana vrathanushthanam.

Kswamy  prathima in one sthabam. Next to kolapadi

Dear Bhagavathas,

JAI SREEMANNARAYANA.

Adiyean wishes you PROSPEROUS and BEST part of your life is ahead NOW ON and EVER. Lord Ranganatha shall bless your with His generous and great APAARA KARURA on you, all the days through out your life. Naturally every pleasant thing shall follow and flow into your life. Now a little open thinking - When I  go to temple, stand before Lord, close my eyes, remember some stothras, chant them internally for I am shy that I may be wrong, Look around, again close my eyes and tell Him all my IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS or submit an account of my wishes, feel satisfied and come back. I alwasys think I GAINED. Again look back for a movement and wondered whether I wasted my time and Lord's time? For I could have asked every one's welfare like THAI ANDAL or Other Alwars who were so very confident, He does welfare of entire humanity and living ang non living systems and NEVER asked Him any thing other than REUNION with Him. Suddenly, I am shy on my small size even in thoughts and LOOK BACK AT LORD'S SMILING FACE and assuring Hand (Abhaya Hastham), Tendering and Lifting Hand (KATI HASTHAM) and His Lotus Feet (Sarnagathi). His looks gave me more than what I ever wanted, that divine strength.

I GAINED .. GAINED and GAINED with every darshan of Lord Ranganatha.
Once again wishing every one great succees ahead.

Dearest all,

Today’s verse is the 17th verse. Let us continue to enjoy the wonderful
commentary of His Holiness Srimath Paravakkottai Andavan of Sri Poundarikapuram
Swami ashramam, Srirangam – translated into English by Sri CG Balaji Swami.

The guards, after having realised that the ensemble of Gopis
was very dear to Kannan, threw open the palace doors for them
conducting them into the corridors. The ensemble then plans to
wake up Nandagopan, Yashoda, Balarama and Kannan. Fearing
that some Gopi might take away Kannan, Nandagopan was asleep
in the first couch. But is such a thing possible? Yes it is. The land
of Shonitanagara was ruled by Banasura, the son of Bali
chakravarthi. He had a daughter by name Usha. She lost her heart
to Aniruddha, the grandson of Kannan having seen Him in her
dream. Her maid Chitraloka, using the power of Yoga, brought
Aniruddha in his sleep along with his couch and presented him to
Usha. Being wary of such situations, Nandagopa therefore slept in
the first couch.

ambaramE; thanneerE; sore- aRam cheyyum nandhagOPAlaa! – “Oh generous
Nandagopa, who, during the times of drought, gave away in charity, clothing,
food and water to the
subjects of Ayirpadi, awake to bestow upon us the supreme Lord
Kannan, who is the delectable most of foods and the relishable
most of potable water, that satiates our hunger and thirst. In this
world, different relations like father, mother, brother, son, friend et
al, give us delight and make us happy in their own ways. Kannan
on the other hand gives us pleasure and delight of every way. You,
who shall be bestowing upon us such an objects of bliss is indeed
our Lord (Emperumaan). Wake up Oh Lord, wake up.” Next they
approach towards Yashoda.

Kombanaarkkellaam kozhundhE kula viLakkE.. yemperumaatti! yasOdhA! aRivuRaay

“The branches of vanchi tree bend themselves
to offer support during times of torrential floods. Similar to this,
Yashoda gave happiness to everybody, overlooking the effort and
weariness on her part. Kozhundu - She was like the maid in
command to all. She was intuitive of the difficulties that might
come upon her folks and would always help them in alleviating the
same. Kulavilakke - She stood bedazzling as the light of the entire
woman community. Having begotten Kannan, Yashoda was like a
sovereign to the whole universe. When Nandagopa, who bestows
grace and benevolence upon us that do good to us in turn (hitam),
is already awake, is it correct for Yashoda, who bestows upon us
the fruits of all our desires (ishtam), to be asleep still? Will there be
any despair for the womenfolk, while the knowledgeable Yashoda is
awake?” Having taken her permission, they then behold, through
the window, the divine visage of Kannan, who is reclining in the
next couch.

Ambaramoodu aRutthOngi ulagaLandha umbar kOmAnE – When the Devas sought back
from you, the kingdom that they had lost to Bali, you assumed a magnificent
form, so huge, that rose over the skies. The shadow of your lotus foot took
everything in its shade.
With your other foot, you blessed everyone with munificent grace
just as how a mother would caress her baby’s head with drops of
oil. You also adorned the celestials, daily votaries and all the worlds
as embellishments to your lotus feet and made one and all
Srivaishnavas.

uRangaadhu yezhundhiraay - You have bestowed your lotus feet to those who knew
you not and even without their bidding. Arise oh Kanna!  to bestow your lotus
feet upon us who are aware of your
essential nature (svarupam) and who have sought you as our
refuge and our object of delightful contemplation.
Hanuman says to Seetha, “Sri Rama who is now separated
from you is always awake and never sleeps. If at all he sleeps for a
while, he takes your name sweetly while waking up” Andal says “Is
it correct on your part to lay asleep while you have actually
incarnated to wake us up from sleep with your holy names on our
lips?”. Kannan then directs them to Balaraman. As per protocol,
Balarama should have been awakened first and then Kannan. He is
the incarnation of Adisheshan a great devotee and preceptor. Since
he is the sub-servient and also the reclining couch for Perumal, he
incarnated prior to Kannan. Having realised their oversight they
approach Baladeva now.

sempoRkazhaladi selvaa baladevA– Lakshmana was born later to Sri Rama and
engaged himself in Sri Rama’s servitude. But,
Balarama was born before Kannan and stayed in His servitude.
Balarama housed himself in Devaki’s womb before Kannan. He had
purified Devaki’s womb with the touch of his feet. It is because of
this reason that the eighth child of Devaki did not have the same
fate as the six that were born before Balarama. The touch of his
feet brought prosperity and auspiciousness.

Umbiyum neeyum uRangEl – Your brother Kannan is obedient to
you and so are you to him. Pray arise from your slumber, heeding
to our prayers. At times when Kannan would disappear, Balarama
would console the weeping Gopis who had lost their hearts to
Kannan, with sweet and soothing words of joy.

Subjects, who embark upon worshipping the Lord, should
begin the same contemplating upon their preceptors and should
then seek their approval for the same. This purport gleams forth
through this verse

Dearest all,

Today’s verse is the 19th verse. Let us continue to enjoy the wonderful
commentary of His Holiness Srimath Paravakkottai Andavan of Sri Poundarikapuram
Swami ashramam, Srirangam – translated into English by Sri CG Balaji Swami.

When Nappinnai stood up to open the door, she was dragged
back by Kannan into a tight embrace. The ensemble therefore now
attempts to awaken Kannan. As Kannan was unwilling to speak,
the ensemble again uses Nappinnai as their intermediary. The
ensemble now tries to wake Nappinnai up again and reminds her to
wake up Kannan. On might learn the concern that the Lord and
His consort have for their subjects. Once, the divine mother
thought of testing the Lord’s compassion. She accused one of the
devotees of some wrongdoing. Immediately the Lord came back
saying that His devotees would never do any wrong, and if they
were to do it then it was for good. If the Lord were to embark on
punishing a devotee, then His consort would immediately come in
saying that there was nobody in this world, who did not commit a
sin. It may be learnt that both of them are equally and passionately
concerned about their subjects.

Kutthu viLakkeriya-  The ensemble of Andal and her friends
entreat Kannan with the words “vaay thiRavaay” to open His mouth
and speak. They immersed themselves in the beauty of the
communion of the Lord and His consort and forgetting the purpose
of their visit, did not entreat Kannan to wakeup. The maids say
“Why is it necessary to stay on the couch, admiring the beautiful
visage of Kannan, in the shade of the brightly lit oil lamp, when it is
already daybreak? It is said “athivarAma SuSubhE aDhikA mayA – Sri Rama
shone forth with lustre amidst the brilliance of Sita’s divine beauty.
Similarly, where is the need for the oil lamp when you have the
glittering aura of Nappinnai’s beauty around?”

KOttukkaal kattilmEl - It is indeed fortunate to recline in
company of a valiant consort, on a luxurious couch that is dressed
up with the fragrant tresses of seven yaks and has the ivory tusks
of Kuvalayapeeda for its stands.

metthenRa-  The Gopis question “Is it correct on your part to
continue sleeping and appraising the luxurious couch without
speaking to us, when so many of us are waiting here for you.

Pancha sayanatthin mElERi – The couch bed has the five fold
characteristics of being beautiful, pleasant, soft, fragrant and
bright. Your couch is a soft cushion that has five layers. You are
reclining on one such. For us who are being tormented by your
separation, even a couch of lotus seems like a bed of thorns.

Kotthalar poonkuzhal nappinnai kongaimEl vaitthuk kidandha malarmaarbhA!

Nappinnai is now in the divine company of Kannan.
She has bedecked herself with a fine garland of fresh jasmine buds.
The buds in her tresses have blossomed and are spreading the
fragrant aroma everywhere.

Sita says to Hanuman – “I am very tired and shall find some
sleep on the lap of my dear beloved Sri Rama. He shall later rest on
my lap.” Likewise you are taking turns to rest on each other’s lap.
Seeing the divine couple together and enjoying the scene of their
communion who are both the object and the means of attainment
and being unable to force themselves as a disturbance, the maids
plead Kannan to open his mouth and speak to them using the
words “malar maarbhA vaay thiRavaay

“Sri Rama said to Sugriva that He shall protect those who
seek refuge in Him even at the cost of His own life. But you
Nappinnai, on the other hand are neither allowing Kannan to speak
out nor are you speaking to us. Is this correct? Even if Nappinnai
were to stop you from coming to us, you should have strengthened
our hopes assuring us protection and should have at least spoken
words of relief.” Having said so, Kannan gets ready to speak.

Immediately Nappinnai stopped Kannan and spoke to Him
with her eyes indicating that in her presence, there was no need for
Kannan to wake up and answer the call of Gopis. The Gopis having
realised this, addressed Nappinnai as “maitthadan kaNNinaay”.

You have captivated Him inside your beautiful eyes that have
blossomed like a beautiful lotus. He would come to us only if he
were to be freed from the confines of those beautiful eyes. Sri
Rama, who was separated from Sita spoke to Lakshmana that he
would not live for more than a month.

My plight is like “na jeevEyam kshaNamapi vinA thAm asithEkshaNam” –
Bereft of the beautiful Sita who had beautiful eyes of black, I shall not live
even for a single moment.

Maiyittu yezhudhOm malarittu naam mudiyOm  – In presence of we, the devotees,
Oh Nappinnai, help us in completing our observances, make us adorn the streak of
collyrium and then should you adorn one for yourself.
Would a mother ever take to eating when her child is starving? We had assumed
that your beauty and your glories would help us in our observances. But it has
not happened so.

Is it correct on your part to be stopping Kannan from coming to us
when you should have actually helped us attain Him?

Un maNALanai yetthanai pOdhum thuyilezha ottAy kaaN  – Sita said “kausalyA
lOka bharthAram suSuvE ”, Sir Rama is not only my master but the mater of the
entire world. But you on the other hand have made Kannan yours alone and have
not let him go even for a moment. Seems like you fear to leave him to us.

etthanaiyElum piRivaaRRagillayaal  – You
would not even bear a moment of separation from Kannan. You are
like the saying “ahalagillEn iRayum ”. He also maintains an equal
disposition towards you. He believes that in your absence, he would
not be drawn towards any other damsel. It is due to this that we
came to you with the fond hope that you would bring us all close to
Kannan. But that has not happened at all. It is not righteous for
you to have ignored our pleadings.

The Lord bestows us with fruits that befit our past deeds. Our
preceptors impart us with artha panchakam - the five fold truths
and sacrament us with the rites of pancha samskaram. They make
us observe Prapatti the final means of deliverance that has five fold
tenets and make us attain the divine communion with the Lord in
His eternal servitude. Therefore Andal and her maids, chose
Nappinnai as their preceptor as well as go-between, and prayed to
her in order to win the communion of Kannan. It is as per the
Vaishnava tenets to chose the divine mother only as the
intermediary while both the Lord and His consort are to be chosen
together as the object and the means of attainment

Dearest all,

Today’s verse is the 18th verse. Let us continue to enjoy the wonderful
commentary of His Holiness Srimath Paravakkottai Andavan of Sri Poundarikapuram
Swami ashramam, Srirangam – translated into English by Sri CG Balaji Swami.

In this verse, Andal and her friends awaken Nappinnai, the
Lord’s consort, who is also the intermediary between the Jeevas
and the Lord, who persuades the Lord accept us to His holy abode.
Shurpanakha disregarded Sita and tried to attain Sri Rama while
Ravana disregarded Sri Rama and tried to win over Sita. Both of
them met with similar fates while Vibhishana who beseeched both
prospered. Since the awakening of Kannan went in vain, they
surrendered to Balarama, the preceptor and then attempted to
awaken Nappinnai, the Lord’s consort. Is it then not necessary to
have an intermediary between Piraatti and us? Yes, there is. Her
compassion itself does this job. Water is needed to put down fire
and water is sufficient to put down water.

Undhu mathakaLiRRan Odaatha thOL valiyan – The ensemble now awakens Nappinnai,
the daughter in
law of Nandagopa. Nandagopa was as strong as an elephant in
high. His strength matched that of an elephant and held a herd of
them in his possession. He held great strength in his arms and
would never take a step back in retreat. None had to worry about
the evil despicable plans of Kamsa as Nandagopa had the power to
shield Kannan from each and every one of Kamsa’s evil designs.
Nappinnai is the daughter in law of such great a noble man. She is
the daughter of Kumba, but yet Nandagopa the father in law was
referred and not her father. This is similar to the Ramayana
episode. Sita talks to Hanuman proudly associating herself to the
solar dynasty. She introduces herself as the daughter in law of
Dasharatha, whom she adored more than her father.
Gandham kamazhum kuzhalee kadai thiRavaay – Nappinnai is addressed as one
having a rich flow of tresses and one who has devoted her heart to Kannan alone
who has a divine form that disseminates a collective fragrance of all the
flowers.

They entreat her to throw open the door
and let the torrential flood of the fragrance of their divine unison
permeate the air around. Nappinnai then says, “What is the hurry.

Let the day break.” Vandhengum kOzhi azhaitthanakaaN– The day breaks and
there’s the croak of the rooster. Nappinnai replies –
“Will the mimicked croaking of one Gopi, make the Sun rise?” The
Gopis then say “No. Several roosters are croaking as if to brush the
sunlight on one and all”. Nappinnai then says, “Some roosters
croak as soon as they wake up. The sleeping ones are the real ones
that croak at day break.” The Gopis continue, “Is that so?”

maadhavip pandhalmEl palkaal kuyilinangaL koovinakaaN

“cuckoos that slept on the jasmine beds are awake and chirping.
You hold familiarity with each other. They look up to you for your
compassionate glances as their life beat. Unable to reach you in
flocks, they have resorted to their sweet coo.” Having received no
response from Nappinnai, the ensemble of Andal and her maids
continued to extol her saying “pandhaar virali”. It seems that during
the night before, Nappinnai and Kannan were engaged in a game of
ball and Kannan lost the game. Oh Nappinnai the one who is
holding on to Kannan with one hand in a tight embrace and the
ball in the other hand, you have been the chosen object of
enjoyment of Kannan. You are the go-between in the ballgame with
Kannan. On one hand you hold the Jeevans while on the other you
hold on to the Supreme Narayana. You therefore are the divine
mother who guides and walks the Jeevans and Sriman Narayana as
well, on their paths.”

Nappinnai now questions the reason for their assembling
there, to which the Gopis reply, “It is to be with you. When you and
the Lord have a joyful rift, we would like to stay on your side and
sing the Lord’s playful defeat. We would then fill your ears with all
his misdoings playfully. (When parents are together, the children
follow them. When the two are in rift, the children stay with the
mother)” Nappinnai then invited them all inside.

The Gopis then replied “ Senthaamarai kaiyaal seeraar vaLaiyolippa
vandhu thiRavaay – Pray you come and open the door for us
delightfully. Your hands are the ones that have won the eternal
association of the beautiful, fragrant and blossomed lotus. They are
the objects of adoration of none but the Lord Himself. They are the
benefactors of all fruits of attainment. They have acquired a red
hue being engaged due to the clasping and throwing of the ball,
during the game with Kannan. When you are in stride, your hands
echo out an auspicious reverberation of jingling sounds due to the
brush of the bangles that adorn them. You, with Kannan should
bejewel us at the end of our observances. Pray come to us and open
the door with your beautiful hands and bless with the vision of
seeing your exquisite bearing.

Being subsumed by the joy of attaining Kannan, a Jeevan, in
order to reach the Supreme Lord, needs the divine Mother as the
go-between after having resorted to the lotus feet of a sadacharya

Respected Swamin,

Thanks to the information provided by the repected members of the groups, my
family had an excellent Divya Desha yatra. We were able to cover nearly 16 Divya
Desams and few Abhimana sthalams. The three days we stayed at Uppiliappam Koil -
Andavan Ashramam was fabulous. A courteous caretaker Mr. Ravi was very helpful.
The room was very good. For the food we were guided to the following person, who
provided us very good, tasty food in a clean village atmosphere. The prices of
eatables were very reasonable. It was as though we were at our ancient village
homes. The hospitality of the house was great. He is Mr. R.Sampath Krishnan of
Sri Anjaneya Catering Service. He will undertake complete charge of upanayanams,
marriages etc., He will also arrange the transport if necessary for the tours
and can guide. His phone Nos are :

+91 9443525235, 94420 14787, 9791784414  and Landline : 0435-2464029

His address : 5/27, South Street, Uppiliappan Koil, Thirunageshwaram - 612204,
Kumbakonam.

I once again bow my head to all the good souls who guided us. Special thanks to
Dr. V Sadagopan, who had given me the name of Sri Govindaraja Bhattar at
uppiliappam koil - who gave the necessary directions.

SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Today’s verse is the 20th verse. Let us continue to enjoy the wonderful
commentary of His Holiness Srimath Paravakkottai Andavan of Sri Poundarikapuram
Swami ashramam, Srirangam – translated into English by Sri CG Balaji Swami.

muppaththu mUvar amararkku mun cenRu *
kappam thavirkkum kaliyE thuyilezhaay *
ceppam utaiyaay thiRal utaiyaay * ceRRaarkku
veppam kotukkum vimalaa thuyilezhaay *
ceppenna menmulaic cevvaayc ciRu maruNGkul *
nappinnai naNGkaay thiruvE thuyilezhaay *
ukkamum thattoLiyum than^thu un maNaaLanai *
ippOthE emmai nIraattu ElOr empaavaay.  20.

This psalm and the previous psalm propagate that the Lord
and His consort need to be upheld together as our final objects of
adoration and attainment. In the previous verse, Andal and her
maids plead to Nappinnai and remind her that it is her essential
nature to act as the intermediary between the Lord and His
subjects and that she should have helped them in that direction.
They further blame her for not even showing a bit of compassion, if
not for helping them.

Nappinnai on the other hand was trying to learn the Lord's
volition and was waiting for a choice moment to forward this plead
to Kannan. Being unaware of this and thinking that Nappinnai was
indignant towards them, they again set out to awaken Kannan.

Muppatthu moovar amararkku munchenRu kappam thavirkkum kaliyE! Thuyilezhaay!
Eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve Adityas and two Ashwini kumarars. This is the
classification of the 33 crore celestials.

You save these celestials by taking various incarnations. When the
celestials were tormented heavily by the demon Hiranyakashipu,
you heeded to their pleas and took the incarnation of Nrusimhan
and brought an end to the evil demon, thereby securing peace for
the celestials. When you heard the words "Narayana! Oh
Manivanna! Naaganaiyaay" from the elephant that was in the
clutches of the mighty crocodile, then you hurried to its rescue
even without informing your consort. You killed the vile crocodile
and protected the elephant.

You have engaged yourself busily in protecting countless
celestials. That being so, is it difficult for you to heed to our pleas
who are so small in number and who have come to your doorstep
craving for your protection? Moreover the celestials live an undying
life. But we would cease to exist if not for your grace. The celestials
supplicate to you only for material pleasures and pursuits. We on
the other hand do not desire any material fruits. We seek you alone
as our sole object of attainment and have been observing this
nombu ritual for the past nineteen days and have been staying at
your doorstep eagerly awaiting your grace. Could you not speak a
word to us?

kaliyE thuyilezhAy - Unlike the celestials who sought you only
to have their lives and kingdom that they had lost to Bali,
reinstated, we seek only the benevolent and benign glances of
grace from your lotus like eyes on us.

Seppamudaiyaay - Cheppam means protection. Sri Rama, as per
the phrase " rakshithA jeevalOkasya " pursued the general path of protecting one
and all. He also pursued a specific path of righteousness as per the phrase "
swajanasya rakshitA  " and protected everyone who belonged to him. Why don't you
at least follow Rama and pursue at least the path of protecting us who belong to
you.

ThiRaludaiyaay! - You have in you the power and strength that
protected the Pandavas from every possible danger from their
enemies.

seRRArrkku veppam kodukkum vimalaa! Thuyilezhaay! You are known to have bestowed
punishment to those who torment your devotees. But, this act of yours has
inflicted punishments on your own devotees for no fault of theirs. Why this
delay my Lord in
blessing us with your grace?

When all these words failed to get any favourable response
from Kannan in terms of waking Him up and making Him speak,
they again plead unto Nappinnai their go-between and the consort
of the Lord as well.

Seppenna menmulai sevvay siRumarungul nappinnai nangAy! ThiruvE! Thuyilezhaay! 
Oh Nappinnai, the consort of the Lord who holds the heart of the Lord with Her
always, who is the most beautiful in the universe and who owns the magnificent
of features,
pray you wake up and protect us craving souls. You need not be
like Sita Piratti, who, for the sake of sub-servients, stayed in
confinement for ten months without sleep and underwent lot of
torments. It is sufficient if you just wake up and bless us with your
benign glances.

Nappinnai now asks as to what should she be doing once she
wakes up.

ukkamum thattoLyum thandhu un maNALanai - Oh Nappinnai,
bring with you the articles for ritual observances like fan, mirror
and your beloved Lord who performs according to the dancing
stalks of your eyebrows.

ippOdhE emmai neerAttu - The throngs of separation have
withered us totally. We pray you to give us an auspicious shower
along with Kannan.

Though Sita was very dear to Sri Rama, He loved her more for
the fact that Dasharatha had overseen Her marriage to Him.
Likewise, though Kannan was of exquisite beauty and grace, the
Gopis loved him more for the fact that He was bestowed to them by
His consort Nappinnai.

No matter who tries to dissuade, the Lord always rescues
those who have performed Sharanagathi at His lotus feet. If the
dissuaders are enemies, He punishes them for their offence and if
they are friends, He makes them assent to his volition taking them
into His fold. This is the hidden purport of this verse.

Dear Renganatha Bhakthas,

Some other views of scholars on the period of the Azhwaars.
Dates of Alwars:

Dr S Ramanathan - Divyaprabnadha Pannisai - Pathippurai:

The period of the alwars has been concluded by researchers as some time between 7th and ninth cenuries A D.

Mu Ragavaiyangar - Azhvarkal Kalanilai - page 147.
All dates in A D.
Poigai, Bootham and Peyalvar - 460-540
Mazhisai  - 520-620
Peerialvar - 700-785
Thirumangai -710-790
Andal - 716-782
Thondaradippodi - 740-800
Madurakavi - 740-805
Kulasekaran- 750-780
Thiruppanalwar - 750-800

Dr Kamalakkannan - "Thondai Nadum vainavamum"

The period of the alvars was definitely after the sixth century.

Dear All :
 
Quite often questions come up about AzhwAr's
times based on Guru Parampara and modern day
research . Here are soem inputs . Please feel
free to comment . I have also added the dates of
our AchAryans starting from Swamy Naathamuni to
Swamy Desikana nd MaNavALa MaamunihaL for
easy referecne .   
 
1. Pinbhazhagiya Jeeyar 's Guru Parampara
( First chronicle on AzhwAr's dhivya charitams)
 belongs to the time of 11th to 12th century .
He was a sishyar of NampiLLai.
He was also a contemproary of PeriyavAcchAn
PiLLai and Vadakku Thiruveethi PiLLai .
 
2. Azhwar's times will vary for SampradhAyic to
modern Historical views . The 500 years ranging 
from 5th to 10th century A,D is the view of 
modern day scholars . Sampradhayic view 
places them from 4202 B.C ( Mudhal Azhwars 
to Thirumazhisai ) , Madhura Kavi ( 3224 B.C) ,
NammAzhwAr ( 3102 B.C) ,
Kulasekharar ( 3075 B.C) , PeriyAzhwAr ( 3056 B.C) ,
Andal ( 3005 B.C) , Thondaradippodi ( 2814 B.C) ,
ThiruppANar ( 2760 B.C) and Thirumangai ( 2714 B.C). 
 
I am more comfortable with the 5th to 10th century 
A.D dates based on the clues in PeriyAzhwAr and
Thirumangai Paasurams and stone inscriptions
in the Temples about rulers  of Tamil Naadu .
