\"Nammazhwar-kanchi-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction for this pAsuram:<\/strong><\/p>\n

nanjIyar<\/a> highlights that when madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> was asked “How do you claim to be contented\/accomplished?”, he replies nammAzhwAr<\/a> has blessed me to be so along the lines of nammAzhwAr<\/a> himself saying in thiruvAimozhi 4.5.3 “vIvil kAlam isai mAlaigaL Eththi mEvap peRREn<\/em>” (I am blessed to sing the glories of bhagavAn<\/a> forever from now).<\/p>\n

nampiLLai<\/a>\u00a0 highlights that when madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> was asked “You were attached to worldly desires since time immemorial. Would you return to your old ways?” and he replies “Is nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s grace so insignificant that it would let me return to my old ways?”.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

periyavAchchAn piLLai<\/a> highlights the same principle as nampiLLai<\/a>. Moreover he says, nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s grace is different from bhagavAn<\/a>‘s grace. bhagavAn<\/a>‘s grace is such that there is a possibility of falling down from bhakthi nishtai as bhagavAn<\/a> himself mentions in gIthA 6.41 “suchInAm srImathAm gEhE yOgabrashtO(a)bijAyathE<\/em>” (One who falls from his yOgam\/faith becomes born in the families of pure and virtuous families (to continue his faith from where he left)). In vishNu purANam 2.13.29 “samAdhi bangas thasyAsIth<\/em>“, it is highlighted that the saintly bharatha mahArAja (king) lost his focus on bhagavAn<\/a> due to attachment towards a deer even though he was completely detached from his kingdom, wealth, family, etc.<\/p>\n

azhagiya maNavALa perumaL nAyanAr<\/a> highlights that madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> explains his lowly nature, nammAzhwAr<\/a> accepting him due to that aspect alone, his defects being removed due to nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s grace and finally him developing attachment towards nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s lotus feet in the previous pAsuram<\/a>. Some asked madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> – even though your worldly attachments are removed, due to being present in this material world, would you not return to your old ways? madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> replies “I did not get rid of my attachments by performing austerities. They were removed by nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s acceptance of me. Since nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s acceptance of me would never change, my material attachments would not return to me”. In the previous pAsuram<\/a>, madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> revealed his gyAnam and bhakthi towards nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s lotus feet. In this pAsuram, he reveals his strong conviction towards nammAzhwAr<\/a>‘s lotus feet.
