ஆண்டாள் நாச்சியார் அருளிச்செய்த திருப்பாவை

 

ஓங்கி உலகளந்த உத்தமன் பேர் பாடி

     நாங்கள் நம்பாவைக்குச் சாற்றி நீராடினால்

தீங்கின்றி நாடெல்லாம் திங்கள் மும்மாரி பெய்து

     ஓங்கு பெருஞ் செந்நொலூடு கயல் உகள

பூங்குவளைப் போதில் பொறிவண்டு கண்படுப்ப

     தேங்காதே புக்கிருந்து சீர்த்த முலை பற்றி

வாங்கக் குடம் நிறைக்கும் வள்ளல் பெரும் பசுக்கள்

     நீங்காத செல்வம் நிறைந்து ஏல் ஓர் எம்பாவாய்.

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji on ThiruppAvai

 

First they sang the 'param'- Narayanane namakke paraitharuvăn.

 

Next they sing 'părkadalil paiyathuyinra paraman adipădi' - This is 'Vyooham' of Bhagavăn who is in ocean of divine milk ('Ksheerabdi').

 

Thirdly they sing the 'Vibhavam'. Vibhavam means an Incarnation ('Avatăr'). "Ongi ulagallanda uthaman perpădi".

 

Ăndăl could have sung the 'Purna-avatărs' such as Rama or Krishna avatăr. But she has sung neither. Though Bhagavăn killed Ravana, Kamsa and innumerable other asuras, in the case of Bali instead of killing him the Lord takes him unto His fold ('thaduth ătkolgirăn'). Bhagavan eliminated whatever fault Bali had. Bhagavan 'saw' only Bali's virtues ('gunas'); through these 'gunăs' took him unto His fold and made him his devotee. Pirătti only likes to correct and accept everyone and does not desire to punish ('sikshai') or destroy anyone

 

Neengăda selvam niraindelo rembăvai'

All those who perform Năma Sankîrtan will be blessed with prosperity. All the comforts of life are bestowed. Not only this but also Moksham (Liberation). It is Liberation that is eternal wealth. So, one who performs Năma Sankîrtan is blessed with both worldly and eternal benefits.

 

While looking into the subtle ('sukshma') meaning, Mahătmăs say, "Neengada selvam (everlasting wealth) is only Krishna bhakti. "
