AzhvAr<\/a> is present in archA thirumEni (in the form of divine deity) in many dhivya dhEsasms<\/a>. This thaniyan sings pallANdu to such an AzhvAr<\/a>.<\/p>\n thaniyan blessed by emperumAnAr<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n vAzhi parakAlan vAzhi kalikanRi<\/em> Word-by-word meaning<\/strong><\/p>\n vAzhi \u2013 long live (pallANdu to) vyAkyAnam (meanings) vAzhi parakAlan<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 pallANdu to AzhwAr who got the name of parakAlan. \u2018para[r]\u2019 (others) refers to those who deny emperumAn. \u00a0AzhwAr is a strong force like yama for such people. So AzhwAr is parakAlan.<\/p>\n vAzhi kali kanRi \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>pallANdu to AzhwAr known as kali kanRi (one who can rid of illness of kali yuga).<\/p>\n kuRaiyalUr vAzh vEndhan vAzhi –<\/em> <\/strong>pallANdu to the king of, the one who was born in, and the one who protected, the town of thiruk kuRaiyalUr.<\/p>\n Now emperumAnAr sings pallANdu to both AzhwAr and his spear by saying<\/p>\n mAyOnai vAL valiyAl mandhiram koL mangaiyar kOn thUyOn sudarmAna vEl<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n mAyOnai<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr got the thirumanthram by threatening emperumAn using the strength of his sword, the \u2018mAyon\u2019 who is in thiruvarangam (SrIrangam) reclining on the Adhi sEshan.<\/p>\n As it says \u2018mAyOn\u2019 in \u201ckadi arangathu aravANaiyil paLLi koLLum <\/em>mAyOnai<\/em>\u201d<\/strong> [perumAL thirumozhi 1-2], and as it says \u201cvAzhi suzhi poriththa nIr ponnith then arangan thannai vazhi pariththa vALan vali<\/em>\u201d, it was arangan from whom AzhwAr got thirumanthram using the strength of his sword.<\/p>\n AzhwAr stole thirumanthram from the mAyOn who steals all the belongings of those devotees who love Him!! (kai poruLgaL munnamE kaikkoNdAr kAviri nIr sey puraLa Odum thiruvarangach chelvanAr<\/em>\u2019 [nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 11-6])<\/p>\n AzhvAr<\/a> got thirumanthram from the emperumAn who is mandhiram (manthram), like it is said in \u2018andhaNar mAttu andhi vaiththa mandhiram<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 [thirunedunthANdakam 4].<\/p>\n mangaiyar kOn \u2013 <\/strong>AzhwAr is king of thirumangai, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n thUyOn \u2013 <\/strong>AzhwAr is having both inner and outer purity.<\/p>\n ananyArha SEshathvam (no subservience to anyone else), ananya SaraNathvam (not using anything other than emperumAn as the means to attain Him), ananya bhOgyathvam (not considering anything other than emperumAn as enjoyable, not being enjoyed by anyone other than emperumAn) are some of the inner purities of AzhwAr.<\/p>\n Having undergone pancha samskAram<\/a>, etc., are part of his outer purity.<\/p>\n AzhwAr also gave all of his names in one pAsuram, and those names also show us his inner and outer purity: angamalath thada vayal sUzh Ali nAdan, aruL mAri, arattamukki, adaiyAr seeyam kongu malar kuzhaliyar vEL mangai vEndhan, kORRavEl parakAlan, kaliyan<\/span><\/em> [<\/strong>periya thirumozhi 3-4-10]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n sudar mAna vEl \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>big <\/em>spear that is made of brightness; well qualified to be held by thirumangai mannan who is bright and great.<\/p>\n thUyOn vEl vAzhiyarO \u2013 <\/strong>thaniyan says that like AzhwAr his spear is also worthy of being sung pallaNdu.

AzhwAr also says \u2018koRRa vEl<\/em>‘<\/em> [periya thirumozhi 3-4-10] about his spear \u2013 so unlike other spears which see losses, the one he carries always sees victory; but still because of his [AzhwAr\u2019s, or the one who wrote the thaniyan, that is, emperumAnAr\u2019<\/a>s] love towards AzhwAr\u2019s spear, pallANdu is being sung for it also.<\/p>\n Translation by raghuram SrInivAsa dAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Introduction First thaniyan This thaniyan is divined by thirukkOshtiyUr nambi. kalayAmi kalidhvamsam kavim lOka dhivAkaram yasya gObi: prakASAbir Avidhyam nihatham thama: Word-by-word meaning kalayAmi – I meditate upon him, yasya – by whose prakASAbi: – shining gObi: – rays of light (words) … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-ayiram","category-thirunedunthandakam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15761\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
