How can engaging in madal be the meaning of vEdhas? Has it not been said thunderously in vEdhas to engage in activities which are against one\u2019s basic nature in order to attain the supreme being, such as pragyAm kurvItha<\/em> (keep reminiscing), dhyEya<\/em>: (meditate), sO\u2019nvEshtavya<\/em>: (investigate), dhyAyitha:<\/em> (meditate intently), upAsithavya<\/em>: (engage in devotion), nidhithyAsithavya<\/em>: (meditate without a break)? Isn\u2019t engaging in madal similar to these? Did not great sages who are great experts in vEdhas say \u201cvyavasAdhruthE brahman nAsAthayathi thath param<\/em>\u201d (Oh brAhamaNa!

(This is because) kAkuthsa lives here just like kubEra lives in his garden). Thus, just like thirumAlirunjOlai is called as girirAja<\/em> because the supreme being dwells there, this (thirunaRaiyUr) is also referred to as mAmalai<\/em> (huge mountain). Even though thirunaRaiyUr is located on a small hillock, due to AzhwAr\u2019s devotion towards emperumAn, the hillock appears as a huge mountain.<\/p>\n pon iyalum mAdam<\/strong> \u2013 it is a temple which is distinguished like gold, and has the quality of being desired by everyone.<\/p>\n kavAdam kadandhu pukku<\/strong> \u2013 entering after somehow managing to go past the door. kadandhu<\/em> – going with difficulty.
