<< previous pAsuram \u2013 25 \u2013 minnilangu thiruvurum<\/a><\/p>\n Since her longing for Him is the result of His long term efforts, He became happy about that and stayed away from her; since the mother stayed away with appreciation for daughter\u2019s state of not listening to her good words, her friend tried to determine what could calm her down, and asked the story of what happened, since it was the story of what happened with Him she could sustain herself and tell the story in the previous two pAsurams (21<\/a> & 22<\/a>); <\/span><\/p>\n Then her friend inquired, \u201cAs He is under your control, could you not have asked Him when you got a chance, telling Him not to go?\u201d, and she replied \u201cI tried, but since garudAzhvAn came and called Him and He flew away from here, my asking Him to stop had not helped\u201d (pAsuram 23<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n In pAsuram 24<\/a>, \u201cCould you not stop garudAzhvAn who came and took Him away?\u201d, \u201cWas it just one or two to stop? I could not because all of His servants (nithyasUris) came and surrounded Him\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram (25<\/a>), she summarized her state that she explained in these previous pAsurams. That is, \u201cHe came like one who was going to give everything of Him, showed straight what was there with Him, and stole everything from me and left; as He left, in order for me to sustain my life, He told the name of His place. <\/span><\/p>\n In this pAsuram (26), since there was no one to ask (more) questions, there was no answer she needed to give, and so her longing reared its head, and she thought, \u201cHe is not coming because He doesn\u2019t know about my longing; if that is informed to Him, then He would come somehow\u201d, and so she is sending some bees as messengers.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead of sending some human being who is sentient, why send bees that are non-sentient?<\/span><\/p>\n Seeing her state, all her relatives were already in bewildered state even before her. Since it was not known that it gave any fruitful result when Humans, sentients, had gone as messengers, but in rAmAvathAram when hanUman who is not a human had gone as a messenger, it had given the results, she is sending bees in this pAsuram, and crane in the next pAsuram, as messengers. When kaNNan who is of utmost wisdom had gone as a messenger His help only created a war.<\/span><\/p>\n But instead of sending a monkey as messenger like in rAmAvathAram, why send a bee? There, SrI rAma who is a male had to send a messenger to a female, so He had to choose hanUman who was able and detached towards worldly affairs. Here, since it is a longing female sending to emperumAn a male, she had to send only those who experience union and suffer due to similar longing. Since they would understand the suffering due to separation, and since she has seen these bees earlier that were in union and happy, she is sending bee as a messenger. But would the bees who are staying together happily agree to go as messengers? She is asking them to go because of understanding her experience she had when together with Him. <\/span><\/p>\n That is, when she and Her man were together, if some people who suffer due to separation came to her, then she would take care of their problem and only then be together with her lover, as said in \u201c<\/span>apyaham jeevitham jahyAm thvAm vA salakShmaNAm | na thu prathigyAm samSRuthya brAhmaNEBhyO viShEshatha:<\/span> [SrI rAmAyaNam – AraNya KhANdam – 10-19]\u201d (Hey seethA! I might lose my life, and lose you along with lakShmaNa, but I will not ignore the promise I made (that too especially ones made to brAhmaNas)); based on this experience, she is in the state that seeing her suffering, the bees would go as messenger. <\/span><\/p>\n She is first praising the bees, to request them to take care of her problem, by their gaining mercy towards her.<\/span><\/p>\n In terms of inner meaning, bees represent AchAryas who get us to reach emperumAn. Acharyas are to be praised, as said in – \u201c<\/span>prathyakShE gurava: sthuthyA: parOkShE mithrabAnDhavA: | kAryAnthE dhAsa-BruthAScha na kadhAchana puthrakA: || <\/span>(One should praise Acharyas right in front of them; praise friends and relatives in their absence; praise servants after they finish their work; should never praise the children).<\/span><\/p>\n thEmaruvu pozhilidaththu malarndha pOdhai<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n thEnadhanai vAy maduththu un pedaiyum neeyum<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n pUmaruvi inidhamarndhu poRiyilArndha<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n aRukAla siRu vaNdE thozhudhEn unnai<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Amaruvi niRai mEyththa amarar kOmAn<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n aNiyazhundhUr ninRAnukku inRE senRu<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n neemaruvi anjAdhE ninROr mAdhu<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n ninnayandhAL enRiRaiyE iyambik kANE 26<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n thEn maruvu<\/span> – Having honey flooding fully<\/span><\/p>\n pozhil idaththu<\/span> – in the garden,<\/span><\/p>\n malarndha pOdhai <\/span>– with flowers blossoming,<\/span><\/p>\n vAy maduththu<\/span> – drinking <\/span><\/p>\n thEnadhanai<\/span> – that honey,<\/span><\/p>\n un pedaiyum neeyum<\/span> – your female and you<\/span><\/p>\n pUmaruvi<\/span> – well set in the flower<\/span><\/p>\n inidhamarndhu<\/span> – and be in union with her;<\/span><\/p>\n aRukAla<\/span> siRu<\/span> vaNdE<\/span> – Oh the bee having six legs,<\/span><\/p>\n poRiyin<\/span> Arndha<\/span> – having lots of dots in the body<\/span><\/p>\n unnai<\/span> thozhudhEn<\/span> – I prostrate and beg you;<\/span><\/p>\n To Him who<\/span><\/p>\n maruvi<\/span> mEyththa<\/span> – herded with interest<\/span><\/p>\n A<\/span> niRai<\/span> – the groups of cows,<\/span><\/p>\n amarar<\/span> kOmAn<\/span> – and who is the head of nithyasUris,<\/span><\/p>\n aNi<\/span> azhundhUr<\/span> ninRAnukku<\/span> – and who is standing in the beautiful place of <\/span>thiruvazhundhUr,<\/span><\/p>\n inRE<\/span> nee<\/span> senRu<\/span> – you go now itself and <\/span><\/p>\n anjAdhE<\/span> – without being afraid,<\/span><\/p>\n maruvi<\/span> ninRu<\/span> – stand there strong,<\/span><\/p>\n iyambik<\/span> kANE<\/span> – try to tell Him<\/span><\/p>\n iRaiyE<\/span> – a little bit, that<\/span><\/p>\n Or<\/span> mAdhu<\/span> – one female<\/span><\/p>\n nin<\/span> nayandhAL<\/span> enRu<\/span> – is being interested in You,<\/span><\/p>\n thEmaruvu pozhilidaththu<\/strong> – In the place that is having gardens that are always with honey. By the word maruvu, it says that honey is always present, and it is being plentiful; by pozhil it says that it is a garden that removes tiredness. These three qualities are present in paramapadham also which is the place of enjoyment. Only if you placed<\/span> us in such a place of happiness, would the place of your enjoyment be enjoyable.<\/p>\n malarndha pOdhaith thEnadhanai vAy maduththu – <\/b><\/span>Drinking honey from the flowers <\/span>as<\/span><\/span><\/span> they blossomed. Since it is the honey from the flowers that blossomed just then, it would be fresh and very tasty. <\/span>If time has passed since a<\/span><\/span><\/span> flower blossomed, then its honey would be past time, less, and old. If honey is extracted when <\/span>the flower <\/span><\/span><\/span>is still a bud, then there would be less honey, and since it is taken forcefully, that honey would taste less. So, it is saying here that the honey is from just blossomed flower. <\/span><\/p>\n Would the <\/span>f<\/span><\/span><\/span>lowers <\/span>which<\/span><\/span><\/span> blossom (only) when wind blows, would blossom when these bees go there? We can consider it as – <\/span>s<\/span><\/span><\/span>ince those flowers are at the stage of blossoming even if touched, they blossom due to the wind from the wings of bees, and also the air of their breath.<\/span><\/p>\n This same aspect is <\/span>divined by AzhvAr<\/span><\/span><\/span> in \u201c<\/span>pUviriya madhu nugarum<\/i><\/span> [periya thirumozhi – 3.6.1]\u201d. Unlike Him who left me without understanding my freshness and sweetness, you got to understand the freshness and sweetness of flowers, she says. Only if you join me with Him while I am fresh and sweet, would you be <\/span>known as having complete <\/span><\/span><\/span>ablity to enjoy fresh honey, she says.<\/span><\/p>\n vAy maduththu – <\/b><\/span>Like husband and wife eating from the same vessel, taking the honey in mouth and feeding<\/span> it to each other. Honey is there for enjoying each other in this way. That is, \u201cDon\u2019t you have to make me enjoy the<\/span> sweetness by joining me with Him, like how SrI rAma enjoyed together with seethAp pirAtti as said in \u201cidham mEDhyam idham svAdhu [SrI rAmAyaNam – ayOD<\/span>hyA KANdam – 96-2]\u201d (This is pure, This is sweet.. – saying these, SrI rAma was present together with seethAp pirAtti in thiruchchiththirak kUdam).<\/p>\n un pedaiyum neeyum – <\/b><\/span>The female bee that is under your control, and you who are under her control; the f<\/span>e<\/span><\/span><\/span>male bee behaves as per your thoughts, and you who behave as per her thoughts; Oh it is good that you both are able to interact knowing each others\u2019 mind, unlike Him who does not behave with understa<\/span>nd<\/span><\/span><\/span>ing of my wishes.<\/span><\/p>\n un pedaiyum neeyum – <\/b><\/span>You who are together as male and female, don\u2019t you have to take care of work for me who am separated from my lover?. It is my fortune that you are together and so not need someone to get you together first – she says. SrI rAma had to unite mahArAjar (sugreevan) with his wife and kingdom first and then only had to search for His wife. Unlike that, you are already together, and that is my fortune, she says to the bees. <\/span><\/p>\n pUmaruvi – <\/b><\/span>Oh what a dare this is, like someone hugging the fire!- she says. As said in \u201c<\/span>menmalarp paLLi vem paLLiyAlO<\/i><\/span> [thiruvAimozhi – 9.9.4<\/a>]\u201d, bed with flowers in it (soft like flowers) is like a bed on fire for her. Since she is separated from her lover, she thinks only those who knows <\/span>agni-sthamBha-vidhyA<\/i><\/span> would be able to lie down in such a bed. <\/span>agni-sthamBha-vidhyA <\/i><\/span>is union of man and woman. As I am lying on floor since I cannot tolerate the bed, only if you do my work would it be enjoyable for you to be together in bed; Oh what a great wonder it is that unlike for me, you both as male and female got the garden <\/span>which<\/span><\/span><\/span> removes tiredness <\/span>a<\/span><\/span><\/span>s a place of enjoyment, honey <\/span>a<\/span><\/span><\/span>s enjoyable, and flower as bed! – she says.<\/span><\/p>\n inidhamarndhu –<\/b><\/span> Sitting nicely. Nicely being together as male and female. Since her union with Him ended in separation, that union become one that gave sorrow. She herself said<\/span> \u201cenRAlum idhu namakkOr pulavi thAnE<\/i><\/span> [thirunedunthANdakam – 23<\/a>]\u201d. Idea is – only if you removed my sorrow would your union be enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n poRiyilArndha – <\/b><\/span>By <\/span>Introduction<\/h3>\n
