Sadagopan • September 21, 2002 


Dear SrI MadhavakkaNNan : 

On this " SiRRam SiRu KaalE" , it is a soubhAgyam to
read the posting on YasOdhA PirAtti's AanandhAnubhavam 
to decorate her Kutti KaNNan's flowing black tresses
with the flowers prescribed by SAsthrAs . 

The madhura bhAvam of PeriyAzhwAr assuming the role of
YasOdhai to decorate her dear little one is most moving.

Each of these flowers can be found in the gardens
of The Sanskrit Academy at Melkote and have been assembled by
Dr.Lakshmi TatachAr Swamy. Please visit this garden
of PeriyAzhwAr's saasthraic flowers , wehn you are next time
in Melkote.

Each of the endearing entreaties from YasOdha raises 
our attachment to her dear Kutti KaNNan step by step.
It is like steps of a ladder (sOpAanam) to BrahmAnandham :

1. tEniliniya PirAnE SeNpahappU chUtta VaarAy !

2. ThiruvudayAL MaNavALA (Azajgiya MaNavALA )
   ThiruvarangatthE KidanthAy , Mallikai Poo 
   chUtta VaarAy !

3. NeeL ThiruvEnkatatthenthAi! PathirippU
   Soota VaarAy

4. Uruvam azhhiya Nambi (Soundara RaajA)
   uhanthivaicchUtta VaarAy !

5. teLLiya Neeril yezhuntha Senkazhuneer sooda VaarAy!

6. Poruthu varuhinra PonnE Punnai Poo chUtta VaarAy!

7. Kudanthai kidantha VenkOvE! KurukkatthippU
   ChUtta VaarAy !

8. aNi ArangatthE kidAnthAy! IruvAtcchi Poo ChUtta VaarAy! 

9. ThUmalarAL MaNavALA! Karumuhaippoo ChUtta VaarAY!

10. inRu ivai chUtta vaa yenRu Aaychci mahizhnthurai
    seytha immAlai Bhattar pirAn  sonna Patthe !

Wonderful indeed is the anubhavam of VilliputthUr kOn !
