Periazhwar wards off Diseases with grace of Antharyami
While all pasurams of all 12 Azhwars always sung in praise of one of the five forms of Lord Narayana, Periazhwar had concern for Lord Narayana and he did not want any harm to befall Lord Narayana. Thats why he sang "Palalandu Pallandu" even as he describes him as Lord with Strong Shoulders "திண்தோள் மணிவண்ணா!"
In the ninth Pasuram of this Pathigam, Periazhwar requesting Panchaudhams ( Discus, Conch, Dagger, Bow and Gada), Ashta Thik Balas's and Garuda to guard while the Lord is sleeping on snake bed served by Mahalakshmi.
In the remaining Pasurams he addresses ailments of all sorts which are getting attacted to his body just as ants are attracted to pot of ghee. He warns the diseases to be wary ofthe fact that Lord Narayana has entered his body as Antharyama and protecting him from diseases. He warns the diseases that with Lord Narayana protecting, Yama dootha, Chitragupta has been driven away. Periazhwar gives a similar warning to Karmas that are trying to afflict him. Periazhwar says his body is the temple of Lord Narayana and that they dare not enter the body. Periazhwar says the Lord is residing in His heart and left a foot print on his forehead in the form of Thiruman.
So let us pray to Antharyami within us to get protected from this coronovirus. May Lord Narayana Protect every one.
