end successfully. The girl that is awakened
in this pasuram is of nature of Poigai Alvar. the address ‘tangay’ fits him well, in that Poigai Alvar was
born in the lotus, Sri Lakshmi.
‘Nanait-illam cerakkum’:- this expression
denotes that Poigai Alvar wept over his past days as “palude pala pagalum
poyinavenru anji aluden”. (Mudal Tiruvandadi, 16).
Kanaittu:- This is also applicable to Poigai
Alvar, because he was the first to sing about Vishnu
Kanrukka-irangi:- This Alvar sang the pasurams for our sake out of pure grace. Ninaittu-mulai
valiye ninru pal sora! – He sang the pasurams as and he enjoyed
Bhagavat Gunanubhava. Panit-talai vila:- this is also applicable to this Alvar
for he was born in the lotus in a tank, open to wind and rain, and dew. the pharse ‘sinattinal
ten Ilankai Komanai cerra, manattukku-iniyanaipada’:-
The Rama charita came up to our Alvar’s mind as well, as
we find in his pasuram:-
“Name arigirpom
nannenje-pu meya
Matavatton
tal paninda valarakkan nil mudiyaip-
Padamattal enninan panbu”. (Mudal Tiruvandadi, 45).
Inittan-elundiray:- Is it proper to
sleep after having repented over the past days as ‘palude pala pagalum poyinanvenru
etc.’(16).
Anait -illatarum arindu:- This expression
reminds us of a line in this Alvar’s pasuram, “Ariyum ulagellam
yaneyamallen”.
Some scholars (the Jeeyar School) are of the view
that in this pasuram is awakened a girl who resembles Tondaradip-podi Alvar. the first line of this stanza contains
a reference to buffaloes and so also Tondaradippodi Alvar referred to buffaloes in his Tiruppallielucci as “Mettila
medigal talai vidum ayargal”. besides, we find, this stanza coming in the meaning of Tirupalli-elucci or awaking others.The
expression ‘manattukku- iniyanaip padavum ni vay tiravay’ strikes an
inner note that at first the Alvar was steeply engrossed in love towards maidens and later was roused
from this stupor by the grace of God. According to Guru
Parampari, Manakkal Nambigal or Rammaisrar is awakened here. (vide the
expression ‘Sri Ramamisraya Namaha’). as per his name we find Rama’s story referred to in lines 5
and 6.
