Today, December 25, 2013 is Day 10 of Margazhi masam. The tenth pasuram of Thiruppavai, Notru Chuvarkkam Puguginra, is to be recited today.
Margazhi month assumes special significance for Srivaishnavas. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says masanam margashirso aham (of months, I am Margazhi). Of the 12 sub-Vyuhas which are representative of the 12 months beginning from the Tamil month of Margazhi, Kesava is the lord for the month of Margazhi.
Most importantly, the month derives its auspiciousness primarily due to its association with ThiruppAvai. It was during Margazhi that Sri Andal observed the pious Pavai Nombu for Sriman Narayanan and composed the 30 pasurams of Thiruppavai for the ujjeevanam (upliftment) of jeevatmas like us. Thiruppavai is very sacred and all our Acharyas have given commentaries on this prabhandam. The very fact that Swami Ramanuja was called ‘ThiruppAvai Jeeyar’ because of his deep attachment to this, illustrates the special place Thiruppavai had with Swami Ramanuja. In this Vijaya Varusham, the Margazhi month began on December 16, 2013.
For the benefit of Anudinam readers, we bring detailed Tamil commentary, musical recitation and detailed upanyasam audio by various vidwans (scholars) for each pasuram. It may be noted that the audio files are also available at www.sravanam.org
The following is an article about the tenth pasuram (Notru Chuvarkkam Puguginra)…
This Pasuram is addressed to a girl who cannot shake off her sleep. Andal says even if you cannot get up to open the door, atleast open your mouth that is give some response. Tulasi which is SrimanNarayana’s favourite is born with fragrance. This is the greatness of Tulasi. Even the most fragrant flower develops perfume after flowering but Tulasi is fragrant from the start. Perumal adorns Tulasi not only in His feet but also on the head. This Sriman Narayana is the object of our prayer. Instead of joining us in the Margazhi nonbu you are still sleeping. Looks like Kumbhakarna handed over his sleep to you. Shake of your laziness, get yourself ready, and join us in our Paavai Nonbu.
