THIRUKKOTTHUMBI - SONG 2

நானார்? என்னுள்ளமார்? ஞானங்களார்? என்னையாரறிவார்?
வானோர்பிரான் என்னை ஆண்டிலனேல் மதிமயங்கி 
ஊனார் உடைதலையில் உண்பலிதேர் அம்பலவன் 
தேனார் கமலமே சென்றூதாய் கோத்தும்பீ  

We all have heard that that, the lord himself came down to aavudayaar koil with his ganas in the form of guru. He showed His lotus feet to vaadhavooraar and in a moment vaadhavooraar became Manickavasagar. The lord sat under kurunthai tree and made Manickavasagar to realise the truth.
So in the second song, the saint-poet says, if the lord had not brought him to His folds, no body would have known who he was. He would not have got the true answers to these questions:
1. Who am I?
2. What am I?
Before the lord came down, the person was vaadhavooraar and was a chief minister of the pandya Kingdom. After the lord came down, the person was Manickavasagar and then what was left with in was true knowledge and that's it. Dwaitham went off and adwaitham alone was there. So new answers came to the same old questions.
The feet of the lord is a perennial source of honey. The gracious lord who happily gets food on the Brahmma kapaalam or skull, granted me the nectar (knowledge). Please go there and buzz.
