Today, January 6, 2014 is Day 22 of Margazhi masam. The twenty second pasuram of Thiruppavai, Angan Ma Nyalathu Arasar, 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 twenty second pasuram (Angan Ma Nyalathu Arasar)…
In this pasuram Andal and Her friends reiterate their status saying that they have surrendered at Sri Krishna’s feet, in all humility drowned by His Kalyanagunams. Great kings and monarchs who conquer territories get their pride shattered at one point of time and reach His Feet. The throng of devotees want Krishna’s glances to fall on them as soon as He wakes up. They ask Him to grace them with both eyes one of which is The Sun and the other The Moon. When Seen with both eyes all their base qualities would vanish, all the impediments would be removed and they would attain Bliss.
