When one of our pUrvAchAryas asked another one [presumably <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/maraneri-nambi\/\">mARanEri nambi<\/a> since similar incident is identified in mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 1st pAsuram with reference to him] &#8220;Please tell me a way to remember <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>&#8221; and he replies &#8220;I will do that. But can you tell me a way to forget him?&#8221;. This means anything other than <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> does not acquire its form and name without his presence, anything that is seen is seen as a wealth\/form of him. Just like for jAthi (species\/category) and guNam (quality), there is no sthiti (existence) and upalambha (recognition) without the [particular] entity [that bears the category and quality], though dhravya [separate objects &#8211; sentient and insentient beings], without bhagavAn there is no existence and recognition &#8211; this is based on pramANam [authentic quotes from SAsthram such as &#8220;<em>yasya AthmA SarIram, yasya pruthvI SarIram<\/em>&#8221; (AthmA is bhagavAn&#8217;s body, Earth is bhagavAn&#8217;s body) &#8211; without the soul, the bodies cannot exist],. While others are focussed on the viSEshaNam (attributes\/forms &#8211; sentient and insentient beings), our <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/full-list\">AzhwArs\/AchAryas<\/a> are focussed on viSEshyam (object\/paramAthmA &#8211; bhagavAn). Because of importance for viSEshyam (bhagavAn), only he is seen in everything. This is the nature of one who has heard vEdhAntham. emperumAnAr too explained this in vEdhArtha sangraham &#8220;<em>vEdhAntha SravaNE na hi vyuthpaththi: pUryathE<\/em>&#8221; (Only by hearing vEdhAntham, one&#8217;s knowledge becomes complete). With this, all objects being prakAram (form) and bhagavAn being prakAri (entity) is explained.

When asked &#8220;How is paramapadham the cause?&#8221;, it is explained that &#8220;when something exists exactly before the effect, that is called the cause&#8221; [since paramapadham always existed, when the material realm is created (transformed from subtle to gross manifestation), the paramapadham is seen as cause here]. Alternatively (second explanation), Adhi refers to <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> being ISwara (controller) too. Here Adhi (cause) is also explained based on asthrabhUshaNa adhyAyam in SrIvishNu purANam. There it is explained that SrIvathsa [divine mole in bhagavAn&#8217;s chest] bears the primordial matter, SrIkausthuba [jewel in his chest] bears the collection of all AthmAs. Third explanation &#8211; That divine radiant form is also part of the nithya vibhUthi (paramapadham). But why is nithya vibhUthi (spiritual realm) mentioned here while talking about the gems etc which are in leelA vibhUthi (material realm)? That is because, for <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> both feel the same [since he considers both to be the wealth of emperumAn].<\/li>\n<li><em>Adhi am purudan enkO<\/em> &#8211; Now, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> is talking about the vibhUthimAn (owner of the vibhUthi (wealth)).\u00a0 Should I call him as <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">sarvESvaran<\/a> who is the cause of all, is together with both vibhUthis (spiritual and material realms), and is known by the names\/words purusha and purushOththama [in SAsthram]?<\/li>\n<li><em>Adhum il &#8230;<\/em> &#8211; Adhumil kAlam &#8211; samsAra kAlam (that time when I did not have anything good in me like adhvEsham (no hatred), Abhimukhyam (friendliness) towards <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a>). That is, [<em>Adhumil kAlaththu<\/em>] at that time when I had nothing in me to attain him, [endhai] he himself announced his eternal fatherly relationship with me, [<em>achchudhan<\/em>] protected me without leaving me ever, [<em>amalan<\/em>] doing all these unconditionally without expecting anything from me in return and uplifted me as if it is his fortune; Alternative explanation &#8211; [<em>Adhumil kAlaththu<\/em>] during praLaya kAlam (the time of deluge when nothing exists) when everything is in subtle state [where I cannot do anything], [<em>endhai<\/em>] considering that he is the lord, when there is no name or form for these AthmAs, [<em>achchudhan<\/em>] bearing them and protecting them, [<em>amalan<\/em>] though he mingled with everyone as one with these <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">chith<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/09\/thathva-thrayam-achith-what-is-matter\/\">achith<\/a>, still their defects did not touch him. bhagavAn when pervaded in all chith (sentient) and achith (insentient) whether they are in gross (manifested) forms or in subtle (unmanifested) forms, their defects don&#8217;t touch him. This is due to the fact that bhagavAn is present in them out of his own will\/desire [unlike jIvAthmAs who enter into a material body due to being pushed by their karma &#8211; so their knowledge gets impacted by the type of their body and the bodily activities].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.<\/p>\n<p>adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\nSrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full series &gt;&gt; Third Centum &gt;&gt; Fourth decad Previous pAsuram Introduction for this pAsuram Highlights from thirukkurukaippirAn piLLAn&#8216;s introduction No specific introduction.
