Today, December 27, 2016 is Day 12 of Margazhi masam. The twelfth pasuram of Thiruppavai, KanaithIllam Katruerumai, 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 Dhurmuki Varusham, the Margazhi month began on December 16, 2016.
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 twelfth pasuram (KanaithIllam Katruerumai)…
In this pasuram there is reference to a buffalo separated from its calf. When the mother thinks about its calf, milk pours out of its udders and makes the mud slushy. The girl being woken up is the younger sister of Krishna’s close friend who is a wealthy person. Andal says that braving the dew-drops falling on their heads they have come to wake her up. She asks her to join them in singing the praises of the well-beloved SriRama the destroyer of Lanka’s mighty king Ravana. They urge the girl to respond and join them in their Pavai Nonbu.
