THIRUPPAVAI

Sri.U.Ve.Elayavilli Bhuvarahachariyar Swami

MARGAZHI THINGAL

மார்கழி திங்கள் * மதி நறைந்த நன்னாளால் *
நீராடப் போதுவீர்!  போதுமினோ நேரிழையீர்! *
சீர் மல்கும் ஆய்ப்பாடிச் செல்வச் சிறுமீர்காள்! *
கூர்வேல் கொடுந்தொழிலன் நந்தகோபன் குமரன் **
ஏரார்ந்த கண்ணி * யசோதை இளஞ்சிங்கம் *
கார்மேனிச் செங்கண் கதிர் மதியம் போல் முகத்தான் *
நாராயணணே நமக்கே பறை தருவான் *
பாரோர் புகழப் படிந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்

The first stanza which states the central premise to be elaborated in the rest of the poem contains the following ideas: thiruppavai_1.JPG

  1. Andal praises the day (NANNAL) that has appeared of its own accord for the observance of the vow. What it means is that for a soul, that day is the Good Day when he understands all about himself and God and their mutual relationship of Lord and Servant which is stated in the Tirumantram.
  2. The fruit in getting one's body is for serving the Lord here and hereafter (NEERADA PODUVIR)
  3. All those who have a longing for the service of the Lord are qualified to join her.(PODUVIR PODUMINO)
  4. She speaks of the radiance that attended on the face of her companions on hearing her requisition. (MADI NIRAINDA; the moon is not in the sky alone!)
  5. The prosperity of Gokula consists of Sri Krishna's amiable pranks in stealing butter and girls; i.e., the wealth of a Sri Vaishnava consists of his intoxicating love for and enjoyment of Lord's company.
  6. Nandagopa's vigilance in guarding Krishna with his very sharp spear in hand symbolizes the "ASTHANE BHAYA-SANKA" and "MANGALASASANA-PARATA" which characterizes a Sri Vaishnava.
  7. Yasoda's over-indulgence of Krishna is responsible for all his pranks and misbehavior towards the young gopis.
  8. SrimanNarayana is the SOLE MEANS of attaining His Feet. This strikes the keynote of the Song Divine-TIRUPPAVAI.
  9. NARAYANANE (Upaya Swarupam) NAMAKKE (Adhikari Swarupam) PARAI (Phala Swarupam) TARUVAN. The safest means of securing Him is not Karma yoga etc but His Grace only. That is the sum and substance of this verse.
