The thaniyan for this dhivya prabandham (divine composition) was composed by SrIrAmappiLLai<\/a> (twin brother of parASara bhattar<\/a> and son of kUraththAzhwAn<\/a>). In this thaniyan he says \u201cOh heart! Meditate on the divine feet of thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> who had established the supremacy of SrIman nArAyaNa<\/a> and who had given this divine composition [called as nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi] and praise his divine feet\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the thaniyan and its meanings:<\/p>\n nArayaNan padaiththAn nAnmuganai nAnmuganukku<\/em> nArAyaNan \u2013 SrIman nArAyaNa<\/a> nArAyaNan padaiththAn nAnmuganai ….. ennum sol<\/strong> \u2013 references from authentic texts have been quoted to prove that SrIman nArAyaNa<\/a> is the supreme lord:<\/p>\n From these aforementioned references it is clear that brahmA and rudhra were created by supreme being nArAyaNa only. Even though it is said that rudhra was created by brahmA, since bhagavAn created brahmA and as the indwelling soul of brahmA, he created rudhra, there is nothing wrong in saying that rudhra came from nArAyaNa. It is also known that during one kalpa (denotes a passage of time equivalent to one day for brahmA) rudhra was born out of brahmA and during the other kalpA, he was born out of nArAyaNa. To make sure that everyone knows these meanings of vEdhas (sacred texts) thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> mercifully mentioned in the first verse of this divine hymn \u201cnAnmuganai nArAyaNan padaiththAn<\/em>\u201d (brahmA was created by nArAyaNa) and in the last verse \u201cISaRkum nAnmugaRkum dheyvam naRkirisai nArANan nee<\/em>\u201d (you are the beneficial deity for Siva and nAnmugan). This is the meaning for the two lines \u201cnAnmugan ……. ennum sol\u201d The word ennum<\/em> refers to all the quotations taken above from vEdhams and smruthis.<\/p>\n sol sIr Ar mozhi<\/strong> \u2013 one meaning is that the words are aligned to the metrics used in the poems (poetic grammar). Another meaning is that these are words with auspicious qualities, as mentioned by nammAzhwAr in periya thiruvandhAdhi 86 \u201csIr kalandha sol<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n mozhi seppi<\/strong> \u2013 reciting such nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi<\/p>\n vAzalAm<\/strong> \u2013 one can redeem oneself. One can attain higher levels of existence.<\/p>\n nenjamE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh heart! You have to help me<\/p>\n How to \u2018help\u2019 in this?<\/p>\n moy pU mazhisaip paran adiyE vAzhththu<\/strong> \u2013 keep worshipping the divine feet of thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> who composed this divine hymn. Just as thiruvarangaththu amudhanAr<\/a> (a disciple of bhagavadh SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>) had mercifully mentioned in his irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi 12<\/a> \u201cidam koNda kIrththi mazhisaikkiRaivan iNaiyadippOdhu <\/em>\u201d (on the two divine lotus like feet of the lord of thirumazhisai, which is a very famous place), you should also be devout towards the two divine feet which are sweet. The words moy pU<\/em> could be taken as adjectives for the divine feet of thirumazhisai AzhwAr as well as to the place thirumazhisai. When they are used as adjectives for the divine feet, these two words moy pU<\/em> would mean dense (tightly packed) flower and beautiful flower. The word moy<\/em> would refer to both denseness and beauty.\u00a0 Thus the words would mean divine feet which are like beautiful and dense flower. If they are taken as adjectives for thirumazhisai, they would mean thirumazhisai which is beautiful or thirumazhisai which has beautiful and densely packed flowers.<\/p>\n adiyE vAzhthtu<\/strong> \u2013 praise the divine feet of thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> who has such greatness. While he has praised emperumAn (SrIman nArAyaNa<\/a>) in his thiruchchandha viruththam 61 \u201cvAzhi kEsanE<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 (long live, kESava!) and thiruchchandha viruththam 68 \u201cmAlai vAzhththi vAzhminO<\/em>\u201d (live by praising thirumAl), you keep praising the divine feet of thirumazhisai AzhwAr without any break.<\/p>\n paran adiyE vAzhththu<\/strong> \u2013 while thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> had accepted emperumAn as supreme being in his verses \u201cISaRkum nAnmugaRkum dheyvam<\/em>\u201d (SrIman nArAyaNa is the worshippable deity for Siva and brahmA) and \u201cguNapparanE<\/em>\u201d (Oh one with supreme qualities!), you accept thirumazhisai AzhwAr as supreme and praise him.<\/p>\n We shall next take up the avathArikai (introduction) for this divine hymn.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/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: nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi emperumAnAr with thirumazhisai AzhvAr The thaniyan for this dhivya prabandham (divine composition) was composed by SrIrAmappiLLai (twin brother of parASara bhattar and son of kUraththAzhwAn).
