Introduction for this pAsuram
Highlights from thirukkurukaippirAn piLLAn‘s introduction
No specific introduction.
Highlights from nanjIyar‘s introduction
In the seventh pAsuram – AzhwAr says “I who am most fallen, committed a mistake by trying to meditate upon and speak about emperumAn who is most distinct [distinctly great]” and leaves emperumAn.
Highlights from vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s introduction
Subsequently, AzhwAr, meditating upon emperumAn‘s greatness which is enjoyed by nithyasUris, and considering his own fallen nature, tries to leave emperumAn.
Highlights from periyavAchchAn piLLai‘s introduction
In the seventh pAsuram – AzhwAr [previously] glorified emperumAn as “maNivaNNan endhai” (my father/master who has a precious-gem-hued form) and considering his own lowly nature, leaves emperumAn. What he feared in “thunjum pOdhum vidAdhu thodar kaNdAy” became reality here.
Highlights from nampiLLai‘s introduction as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
Seventh pAsuram – What he feared previously, became reality now – i.e., he claims himself to be “ayOgya” (unqualified) and leaves emperumAn.

Simple transalation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s 12000 padi)
emperumAn is having the wealth of being contemplated by the nithyasUris as the one who sustains them etc., and as their supreme master. I, who am very sinful, too have kept such emperumAn as the one who looks after my well being, my master in my heart and spoken the same as well.
vyAkyAnams (commentaries)
Highlights from thirukkurukaippirAn piLLAn‘s vyAkyAnam
See vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar‘s translation. AzhwAr is upset on himself for thinking/speaking like nithyasUris though he himself was very sinful, thereby causing disrepute to emperumAn.
Highlights from nanjIyar‘s vyAkyAnam
See nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam.
Highlights from periyavAchchAn piLLai‘s vyAkyAnam
See nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam.
Highlights from nampiLLai‘s vyAkyAnam as documented by vadakkuth thiruvIdhip piLLai
- endhaiyE enRum – saying “Oh the one who cares [like a father] for me!”
- emperumAn enRum – saying “Oh rightful master!”
- sindhaiyuL vaippan – I am keeping this in my heart wherein I have contemplated about many [lowly/materialistic] things.
Did I stop with just contemplating about him (which is known only to me)?
- solluvan – I brought disrepute to him by speaking about him which becomes known to others.
- pAviyEn – two explanations:
- I am such a sinful person who had taken birth to simply bring disrepute to the one who is enjoyed by great personalities.
- Just as when a sAthvika (person in the mode of goodness), out of rage sets fire in a house and when he regains his goodness, will feel distressed for his act – AzhwAr glorified emperumAn and thinks that it is not fitting for him to glorify and thus scolds himself.
Why are you saying this? Are contemplating upon bhagavAn and speaking about him results from previous sins? It is like a dog touching the offerings which are kept for a yagya (ritual) – AzhwAr considers himself lowly and says that emperumAn who is to be enjoyed by nithyasUris (eternally free souls) should not be touched by him.
- endhai … – nithyasUris who cannot sustain themselves even for a moment without thinking about bhagavAn, out of such overflowing experience say out of their heart “Oh the one who cares for us! Oh our master!” What have I done by glorifying bhagavAn with such wealth!
In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.
