rimadh Azhagiya singar thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri RanganAyikA samEtha Sri RangarAjan thiruvadikaLE saraNam thiru adhyayana sEvai - part 26 - kaRkaL kooda nagartthum thAndagam ! Dear bAgawathAs, vithi thantha vEdhatthai venRathu nithi enRa namperumAL ninRathu kadal eenRa mEgatthin siranthathu madal kaliyan seelamuRa piranthathu kodum soozhcchi muRittha pAndavam nedum kaRpanai karangal vENdagam soRkal pala mayangidum thAndavam kaRkaL kooda nagartthum thAndagam (this poem is in thAndagam meter) meaning: The vEdhas gave us the laws or rules or "vithi" of life. The vEdhAnthin who wqs well versed in all the vEdhas was debating Sri Bhattar using the insights known to vEdhanthin. However as commanded by Sri peria perumAL, Sri bhattar employed the conceptions envisaged in vyAkyAnams of thiru nedum thAndakam and defeated the "vEdic vAdham". Our Sri namperumAL who is the greatest treasure or nithi, is present completely in the thiru nedum thAndagam makes the thiru nedum thAndagam a special krithi by HIS mere and exclusive presence. The clouds that were yielded by are special in many ways as they pour and make many lands wet so that many crops can thrive and can quench many people's needs. However, this thiru nedum thAndagam is far superior to such cloud. This nool can quench those who are desiring for mOksha sAmrAjyam. No rain can give mOksham. Our Kaliyan or thiru mangai did deliver madals. So he is also known as madal kaliyan. It is said that after delivering both the madals only, his para nyANam came to a ripe state and then the holy thiru nedum thAndakam was born from madal kaliyan as the ultimate offering to peria perumAL. The pAndavAs broke all the cunning and deceptive strategies of the KowravAs with the help of Lord Sri Arangan as Sri Krishnan. The imaginary arms of any poet is very long as they write very long in their kaRpanai. Sometime a poet's mind writes pages and pages in imagination. But many times such pourings are not tapped in real literature. However, when all those poets read thiru nedum thAndagam all their such long imaginary hands only pray inside their "agam" to Sri peria perumAL with para nyAnam. ie, they stop writing more long poems which is their natural habbit. Instead those imaginary hands of the poets simply fold their hands praying Sri Arangan. Many of tamil words are feeling dizzy and are falling in love with thiru nedum thAndagam on seeing the poetic beauty of this nool is similar to a thAndava nadanam. ie., When adiyEn wanted to praise this nool, tamil words are all falling down as if they are dizzy and in love for this nool Sri thiru nedum thAndagam. If the thiru nedum thAndagam is recited with baya bhakti on perumAL even those huge static mountains made of hard rocks and stones will move. ie This nool will move even those hard core vidhandAwAthis and vibareetha nyAnis towards peria perumAL. Prior to describing the ursavam details the purpose of this thiru nedum thAndagam ursavm is briefly discussed (*). The divya prabhandam known as "thiru nedum thAndagam" delivered by Sri thiru mangai AzhwAr after his attaining the AchAryA kadAksham through thiru kArtthigai deepam viLakkam, has a very special place in Srivaishnavam. Sri bhattar was debating a vEdhAnthi once in north india. After many days of debate the end was not still seen. Finally on one of the night when our Sri Bhattar pleaded to Sri Arangan, Lord appeared in his dream commanded him to adopt thiru nedum thAndagam and conquer the vEdhAnthi. The vEdhAnthi not only accepted his defeat but also fell at Sri bhattar's holy feet and pleaded to accept him as his shishyAL. He was later accpeted by Sri bhattar as shishyAL and his thiru nAmam called by Sri bhattar as "Sri nam jeer". Thiru nedum thAndagam can correct those vidhandA vAthis with vibareetha nyAnam and can make them peria perumAL and sathAchAryAL's ardent devotee and adiyAr. That is why thiru nedum thAndagam is recited "prior" to the other mighty pasurams. Srimadh Azhagiya singar thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri RanganAyikA samEtha Sri RangarAjan thiruvadikaLE saraNam thiruk kudanthai Rengarajan note: Today is hOly sravanam day.
