thirup pAvai - part 61 - "tharuvAn, tharuvAn, tharuvAn"

Dear bAgawathAs,

HE will give as similar to the spring that always  await  the
"ERRam" (a  mechanism to bring water manually from the bottom
of a spring), only eager to give always. HE will give in such
a way that Sri kAmadEnu will envy HIM and will worry if it is
going to  be  second  in  giving.  HE will give untill we say 
everyone will understand that HE is the vaLLaL (a  donor  who
genorously  give  all  the times). HE will give as similar to 
the earth that always is fertile due  to  receiving  seasonal 
rains without fail every single time. When someone is thirsty
a  cup  or  two  of  water  may be sufficient to quench their 
thirst.  How  about  a  heavy  down pour or rains sent by the 
clouds to quench such a thisrt. HE will pour HIS blessings as
similar to that.

	This verse is starting with the nAmam nArAyaNaNE.  It 
also means this whole line conveys tsuch that for  those  who  
are observing the protocols  and  are  meditating  the  thiru 
AshtAksharm will be blessed with  all the palans of  chanting 
thiru  AshtAksharam.  In  adiyEn's  own  anubavam  this  most 
important verse is also split as tharuvAn, tharuvAn, tharuvAn
as follows.

nArAyaNaNE tharuvAn.
namakkE tharuvAn
paRai tharuvAn.

Whereas  nArAyaNaNE tharuvAn indicates  the thiruashtAksharam 
and namakkE tharuvAn indicates the dwayam and paRai  tharuvAn
denotes to charama slOkam. In tamil it is often  possible  to
separate and understand certain poetical verses such as this.
These intrepretations can also be established very well.  

	This line also indicates that Lord Sri  Krishna  will
teach us (paRai tharuvAn or sollith tharuvAn) the way or  the
means to attain HIM. It seems certain Aaychiars knew ahead of
time that Lord Sri KrishnA is going to deliver charam  slOkam
in Srimadh bagawath Geetha and "teach" us all this sarangathi
mArgam. This mArgam was existing even  prior  to  Sri Krishna
avathAram. But then it  took  a  new  dimension  after Srimad 
bagawadh GeethA was delivered. More elaborate vyAkyAnams  and
understandig were  given  by  HIM  through  AchAryAs for this 
sAddhyA uPayam or nOnbu.
