Madhura Kavi AzhwAr's 8th Paasuram
From the Bhakti List Archives
• August 14, 2000
sri: srimathE irAmanujAya nama: Following up to Sri. Satakopan's article on Srimath Azhagiya Singar's upanyAsam on the 8th pAsuram of kaNNinuN siRuththAmpu: aruL koNDAdum adiyavar inpuRa aruLinAn avvarumaRayin poruL aruL kondu aayiram inn tamizh pAdinAn aruL kandIr ivvulahinil mikkathE The following is from an upanyAsam by u.vE. vELukkudi varadAchAryAr swAmi. The phrase "aruL koNdAdum adiyavar" can be interpreted in two ways. One is that, His adiyArs who extol His grace (koNdAdum). The other is to break it as "aruL koNdu Adum adiyavar". Here it means His adiyArs whose every movement is based on His grace (aruL koNdu (nadai) Adum adiyavar). Three of the 4 AchAryAs who have commented on these pAsurams have mentioned that both the second and third lines of the 8th pAsuram refer to Swami Nammazhvar only. One AchAryA (I think nanjeeyar), has commented that the 2nd line ("aruLinAn avvarumaRaiyin poruL") actually refers to geethAchAryan, while the 3rd line ("aruL koNdu Ayiram inthamizh") refers to nammAzhvAr. The 2nd line thus refers to the geethopathEsam, where krishna paramAthma gave us all the meanings of the vEdAs. So, while we may think the mathurakavi did not sing about srIman nArayaNa directly ("thEvumaRRaRiyEn"), in fact he did sing about sri pArthasArathy of thiruvallikkENi and that avan "aruL koNdu Ayiram inthamizh" pAdinAr nammAzhvAr. adiyEn, mathurakavi thAsan, T.C.A.
