\"periyaperumal-thondaradippodiazhwar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The vyAkhyAtha (commentator) has given the connection of each pAsuram with the previous pAsuram, for all the 45 pAsurams in this prabandham.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Instead of aiming for a benefit at random, the thirunAma sankIrthanam that he composed with reciting itself being the benefit, enabled AzhwAr<\/a> to keep his feet on the heads of yama and his followers, says the AzhwAr in he first pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  2. For one who is enjoying the sweetness of thirunAma sankIrthanam, even paramapadham is not required, says the AzhwAr in the 2nd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  3. He does not want birth in samsAram which is a hurdle for reciting thirunAma sankIrthanam, confirms the AzhwAr in the 3rd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  4. Even when sinners such as kshathrabandhu are qualified to recite the divine names, the samsAris are losing out on that and are suffering, says AzhwAr in the 4th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  5. Those who desire lowly and transient pleasures in the samsAram such as enjoying the company of women etc are fooling, he says in the 5th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  6. He mentioned about the unsteadiness of those who go after such pleasures, in the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  7. He advised those who tried to follow philosophies which went against vEdhas such as bhaudhdha, samaNa etc and reach mOksha, that only chakravarthi thirumagan (SrI rAma<\/a>) is apt to be taken refuge under, in the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  8. In the 8th<\/sup> pAsuram, he said that killing those who did not accept the above, but went ahead in abusing emperumAn<\/a>, would be beneficial both to them and to the world.<\/li>\n
  9. In the 9th<\/sup> pAsuram, he told those who were willing to accept his words but said that it is difficult to attain SrI rAma, to hold on to kaNNan<\/a>, who is very simple.<\/li>\n
  10. When they said that kaNNan is not present now, AzhwAr<\/a> told them to hold on to periya perumAL<\/a> who is none else than kaNNan himself, in the 10th<\/sup>\u00a0pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  11. In the 11th<\/sup> pAsuram, he said that those who did not take refuge under periya perumAL lacked the grace of emperumAn even when they were in the womb.<\/li>\n
  12. Even if he had been able to attain periya perumAL, he feels saddened at the sufferings of other samsAris who are not able to attain him, in the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  13. In the 13th<\/sup> pAsuram, he wants the samsAris to say \u201cthiruvarangam\u201d in order to uplift themselves.<\/li>\n
  14. To get over the weariness of having counselled samsAris, he recites the divine names of thiruvarangam in the 14th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  15. In the 15th<\/sup> pAsuram, he mentions about the knowledge created by emperumAn<\/a> about the natural relationship that he has with him.<\/li>\n
  16. In the 16th<\/sup> pAsuram, he mentions how his devotion grew in proportion to the huge bhagavath vishayam.<\/li>\n
  17. In the 17th<\/sup> pAsuram, he mentions how one of his senses, eyes, without even expecting him, fell over bhagavath vishayam and enjoyed.<\/li>\n
  18. In the 18th<\/sup> pAsuram, he mentions how the enjoyment of his eyes led to flooding of his eyes with tears of joy.<\/li>\n
  19. In the 19th<\/sup> pAsuram, he mentions how his body, which is insentient, involved with bhagavath vishayam like a sentient entity and melted.<\/li>\n
  20. In the 20th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that those who know of their relationship with thiruvarangan and his beauty will not leave him.<\/li>\n
  21. In the 21st<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that he cannot measure the greatness of emperumAn<\/a> with his heart.<\/li>\n
  22. In the 22nd<\/sup>, he says that he cannot measure emperumAn through his speech.<\/li>\n
  23. In that case, one can live forgetting him. But it is not possible to forget him, he says in the 23rd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  24. In the 24th<\/sup>, he says that his affection towards emperumAn is deceitful as it is not commensurate with emperumAn\u2019s greatness.<\/li>\n
  25. In the 25th<\/sup> pAsuram , he says that he does not have karma, gyAna, bhakthi yOgams which have been mentioned in SAsthras.<\/li>\n
  26. In the 26th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that he does not have means for mOksham such as worshipping and praising emperumAn, which are common for all, including women and 4th<\/sup> varNa people.<\/li>\n
  27. In the 27th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that he does not have the good thoughts that animals such as monkeys and squirrels had (in helping emperumAn<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  28. When the elephant [gajEndhrAzhwAn] was in distress, he had full faith in the means, and AzhwAr<\/a> says in the 28th<\/sup> pAsuram that he did not have that too.<\/li>\n
  29. In the 29th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that he does not have the distinguishing connection with a dhivyadhESam.<\/li>\n
  30. In the 30th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that not only did he not have any good things in him, he also had many bad things, such as harming others, in him.<\/li>\n
  31. He says in the 31st<\/sup> pAsuram that he became persona non grata for his relatives who have been with him for many years.<\/li>\n
  32. Having no good things, and having all bad things in me, I still came and stood before you, because I am a fool, says the AzhwAr<\/a>, in the 32nd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  33. The reason for this is that I have no shame in me, he says in the 33rd<\/sup>\u00a0pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  34. Since such a person as I should not reduce the greatness of emperumAn<\/a> (like poison being added to milk), I decided to leave, he says in the 34th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  35. Due to his quality of simplicity, emperumAn took me back, when I tried to leave him, says AzhwAr in the 35th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  36. In the 36th<\/sup>, he cries out the emperumAn to shower his grace him [by taking him to SrIvaikuNtam]<\/li>\n
  37. Since that did not happen, he feels sorrowful, in the 37th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  38. Once periya perumAL<\/a> looked at him with comforting eyes, AzhwAr<\/a> asks him \u201cdo you have so much of affection towards your follower who wants to attain you, through you as prApyam (goal) and prApakam (means)?\u201d in the 38th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  39. In the 39th<\/sup> pAsuram, he says that those who have this knowledge will not have any shortcoming because of being born in low birth.<\/li>\n
  40. Such people will not suffer because of earlier sins (such as harming others) that they may have committed, in the 40th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  41. They will also sanctify those with whom they are in touch, he says in the 41st<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  42. They are also apt to be worshipped like emperumAn<\/a>, he says in the 42nd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  43. Those who abuse them because of their low birth or behaviour, even if they are born in high birth, will become like wretch, says the AzhwAr<\/a> in the 43rd<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  44. By indicating the great advantage that an elephant had, which even brahmA et al could not derive, AzhwAr talks about his own advantage, in the 44th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/li>\n
  45. AzhwAr, in the 45th<\/sup> pAsuram, divines on the benefit that one would get by learning this prabandham.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That brings us to the end of exposition on thirumAlai sangathi.<\/p>\n
