Thus, since she is emperumAn\u2019s queen consort, when he protects the worlds, she is together with him. The term <em>kizhaththi<\/em> refers to one who is fit to be crowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vaiya mangai maindhanAy<\/strong> \u2013 being the dear consort of SrI bhUmip pirAtti (bhU dhEvi).

Since SrI mahAlakshmi, who is the presiding deity for wealth, is his queen consort, it is clear that he is the supreme entity, above all the other deities. Since bhUmip pirAtti is the repository for all the enjoyments, it is clear that he has all the enjoyments. Beyond this, he also has neeLA dhEvi as his consort, says the pAsuram. yajur samhithai 4-41-1 says &#8220;<em>asyESAnA jagathO vishNu pathnI<\/em>&#8221; (one who is the controller of the world and who is the consort of vishNu); purusha sUktham 2-25 says &#8220;<em>hrIScha thE lakshmIScha pathnyau<\/em>&#8221; (Oh the supreme entity! SrI and bhU dhEvis are your consorts); thiruvAimozhi 8-1-1 says \u201c<em>dhEvimArAvAr thirumagaL bhUmi<\/em>\u201d (SrI dhEvi and bhU dhEvi are your consorts). Thus, haven\u2019t samskrutha and thamizh vEdhams called SrI dhEvi and bhU dhEvi as his consorts? The usage of the syllable <em>cha <\/em>in <em>lakshmiScha<\/em> (as said in the above-mentioned SlOkam <em>hrIScha thE lakshmIscha)<\/em> indicates that neeLA dhEvi has also been included in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ayar pinnai thOL maNam puNarndhu<\/strong> \u2013 having the enjoyment of embracing the divine shoulder of nappinnaip pirAtti who was born in the eminent clan of herd-people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>adhanRiyum<\/strong> \u2013 while there has been no deficiency in your enjoyments, further to these<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>unna pAdham enna sindhai manna vaiththu nalginAy<\/strong> \u2013 just as it has been said in thirukkuRundhANdagam 7 &#8220;<em>amarar sennippU<\/em>&#8221; (the divine feet of emperumAn would be like a flower on the neck of nithyasUris), you had kept your divine feet, which are enjoyed by nithyasUris, in my heart, even as I had been toiling in samsAram since time immemorial, not leaving my heart even for a moment, thus showing your partiality towards me. The quality of <em>vAthsalyam<\/em> which emperumAn has, makes him to consider the faults in followers as good qualities, not allowing him to look at his eminence and the lowliness of his followers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ponni sUzh arangamEya puNdarIgan allaiyE<\/strong> \u2013 Aren\u2019t you the one, having limbs which are like lotus flower, living in SrI rangam, which is surrounded by river kAvEri? thiruvAimozhi 2-5-1 says \u201c<em>sendhAmaraith thadam kaN senganivAy sengamalam sendhAmarai adikkaL<\/em>\u201d (your divine wide eyes are like reddish lotus, your fruit-like divine mouth is like a red lotus, your divine feet are like lotus); thiruvAimozhi 2-5-3 says \u201c<em>kaN pAdham kai kamalam<\/em>\u201d (your divine eyes, divine feet and divine hands are like lotus); as seen in these pAsurams, since emperumAn\u2019s divine eyes, hands, feet, mouth etc are like lotus, AzhwAr calls emperumAn as <em>puNdarIgan <\/em>(one who is like a lotus). thaiththirIya upanishath bhruguvalli 7 says &#8220;<em>AnandhO brahmEthi vyajAnAth<\/em>&#8221; (he knew that brahmam (supreme entity) is happiness); thaiththirIyavalli upanishath bhruguvalli 6 says &#8220;<em>vijgyAnam brahmEthi vyajAnAth<\/em>&#8221; (he knew that brahmam is knowledge). Just as upanishaths have said that the supreme entity is bliss and knowledge (since he has happiness and knowledge in abundance), through the latter part of the pAsuram, AzhwAr says that more than the freshness that emperumAn\u2019s divine limbs attained due to residing in SrI rangam which removes ennui, they attained freshness through contact with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we will take up the 56<sup>th<\/sup> pAsuram of this prabandham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br>pramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br>pramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br>SrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImadh varavara munayE nama: Full Series &lt;&lt; Previous avathArikai (Introduction) AzhwAr says in this pAsuram that emperumAn, after reclining in SrI rangam for the sake of his followers, despite being the consort of SrI dhEvi, bhU dhEvi and neeLA dhEvi, accepted him [AzhwAr] too, such that he would &#8230; <a title=\"thiruchchandha viruththam &#8211; pAsuram 55 \u2013 mannu mAmalar\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2023\/11\/thiruchchandha-viruththam-55\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about thiruchchandha viruththam &#8211; pAsuram 55 \u2013 mannu mAmalar\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-thiruchchandha-viruththam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52399","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\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52399"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52465,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52399\/revisions\/52465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
