துப்புடையாரை அடைவது எல்லாம்
சோர்விடத்துத் துணை ஆவர் என்றே
ஒப்பிலேன் ஆகிலும் நின் அடைந்தேன்
ஆனைக்கு நீ
அருள் செய்தமையால்
எய்ப்பு என்னை வந்து நலியும்போது
அங்கு
ஏதும் நான் உன்னை நினைக்கமாட்டேன்
அப்போதைக்கு இப்போதே சொல்லி வைத்தேன்
அரங்கத்து அரவணைப் பள்ளியானே – Periyaazhvaar Thirumozhi - 4-10-1
Periyaazhvaar
in this verse offers his 'advance' thanks to the Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam.
He says that while knowledgeable ones have the benefit of seeking his help
anytime when they want, he is not sure if he is so blessed and worthy of such a request.
Citing
the example of the Elephant King whom he saved when in distress, Periyazhvaar presents
his case before the Lord of Srirangam. He says that when he is in the death
bed and when he may need the Lord's help, it is likely he may not remember the Lord and all the good things that the
Lord has done for him in his life.
Hence,
here in advance, well ahead of the time of need, Periyaazhvaar conveys his sincere prayers when all is fine and
thanks the sleeping Lord of Srirangam for all that he has given him in his life and to take care of him when in need!!
