Dear  BhakthAs:

Today we will study the final (Tenth) Paasuram
of Thirumangai Mannan on Lord DhaivanAyakan of
ThiruvahIndhrapuram ( Periya Thirumozhi: 3.1.10):

moovarAhiya oruvanai moovulahu uNDu umizhnthaLanthAnai
dEvar dhAnavar senRu senRu iRainjit-taNN Thiruvayeendhrapuratthu
mEvu sOthiyai vEl Valavan Kali kanRi viritthuraittha
paavu taNN Tamizh patthivai paadida paavangaL payilAvE

General observations
**********************
This is the last Paasuram on Thiruvaheendhrapuratthu
EmperumAn , SrI Deva Naayakan . He has extolled His
avathArams such as VarAha  Moorthy, VaDa Pathra Saayee, 
Narasimhan , Vaamanan , Raamachandran and KrishNan 
in addition to describing the uncanny beauty of
this dhivya desam . In this final Phala sruthi
Paasuram , Kaliyan points out that Lord Dhaiva Naayakan 
of Thiruvaheendhrapuram is Jagath KaaraNa Para Brahmam. 
He assures us that the recital of his ten paasurams on
Lord Dhaiva Naayakan will chase away all of our sins.   

First Line of the Sixth Paasuram
******************************
"MoovarAhiya Oruvanai moovulahu uNDu umizhnthu aLanthAnai"

Kaliyan states here that the Lord of this dhivya desam is
Thrimoorthy savaroopi (Brahma VishNu Rudra Roopi). The moola
BhEram of the Lord at this dhivya desam has the lakshNams
of Brahma-VishNu-RudrALs .The matted hair , the padhma chihnam
on the right hand and the disc as well as conch provide
proof that He is "MoovarAhiya Oruvan". From the near by 
sthalam of Paataleepuram , Rudran performed Tapas 
reciting the DevanAtha Manthram ( praNavam namO DevanAthAya)
and was blessed by the Lord at  Thiruvaheendhrapuram. 
BrahmA performed Tapas here and also recieved the blessings
of the Lord at this dhivya desam . As the antharyAmi of
Brahma and Rudran , our Lord performs Srushti and
SamhAram. He performs sthithi (protection) as VishNu 
roopi. Hence , He is the One, who performs all the three
acts of Srushti, Sthithi and SamhAram. Vedam points
out as lakshaNam for Para  Brahmam all these three
acts. He takes on all the avathArams for protecting
the world and its beings. For instance He swallows
all the three worlds during  MahA PraLayam for their
safety and keeps them in a small portion of His
stomach as He floats on top of the PraLayam waters 
using a Pupil leaf as His bed (Vada Pathra Saayee). 
Afterwards , He releases those jeevans and the world . 
During the avathAram as Vaamana-Thrivikraman , 
He measures all the three worlds with His gigantic  
strides . Kaliyan alludes to all these glorious incidents 
associated with His avathArams as " Moovulahu uNDu 
umizhnthu aLanthAn ". 

Second line of the Paasuram 
****************************
" Devar dhAnavar senRu senRu iRaynchi-taNN
  Thiruvayeendhrapuratthu (mEvu sOthiyai)"

Here at the dhivya desam of Thiru Ayindhai 
known for its cool groves and ponds (taNN
Thiruvayeendhrapuram), Kaliyan points out
that the dEvAs and asurAs (dEvar dhAnavar)
arrive  separately to seek the Lord's anugraham
(dEvar  dhAnavar senRu senRu irainchi).He blesses
every one , who seeks His protection and hence 
is known as Dhaiva Naayakan .He is the illustrious
Jyothi of Thirvaheendhrapuram ( Thiruvayeendhrapuratthu
mEvu sothi).
    
Third & Fourth Lines of the Paasuram
*************************************
(Thiruvayeendhirapuratthu) mEvu sOthiyai 
vEl valavan Kali KanRi viritthuraittha ,
paavu taNN Tamizh patthu ivai paada 
paavangaL payilAvE" 

Here Kaliyan states that it was he , the One
who has the mastery over the spear in his hand (vEl valavan)
and who has won over the dhOshams of Kali purushan (Kali KanRi)
described at length (viritthuraittha) the glories of
the illustrious jyothi of Thiru Ayindhai. Kaliyan 
(Thirumangai AzhwAr) points out further that he 
composed these ten paasurams on the Lord of 
Thiruvaheendhrapuram in the beautiful language of
Tamil in a big poetic meter ( Paavu taNN Tamizh
ivai patthu). Kaliyan points out the importance of
these ten paasurams on Lord DhiavanAyakan as having
the power to chase away all past sins form the reciter.
The mere recitation of these paasurams with devotion
will also prevent future sins from sticking to the singer
( ivai patthu paadida paavangaL payilA) as well.
