His other divine foot rose all the way to the waters surrounding the universe as a cover (here pAr<\/em> is taken to mean universe). This is similar to thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s periya thirumozhi 10-6-3 \u201cpavva nIr udai AdaiyAgach chuRRi<\/em>\u201d (water circling the earth like its dress). If pAr<\/em> were taken to be earth, the other divine foot rose till the waters surrounding earth.<\/p>\n sUr uruvil … aRigilEn<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says \u201csince one divine foot spread all over the world and there was no space to keep the other divine foot, I am not able to understand how you measured this world\u201d.\u00a0 emperumAn<\/a> asks him back \u201cwhy could you not understand?\u201d<\/p>\n sUr uruvil pEyaLavu kaNda perumAn<\/strong> \u2013 isn\u2019t this (the trouble that pUthanA had to undergo) what people who set out to measure you, have to suffer? AzhwAr<\/a> asks emperumAn<\/a> \u201care you in a state where someone could measure you?\u201d<\/p>\n sUr uruvil<\/strong> \u2013 as per the thamizh lexicon \u201csUrum aNangum dheyvappeNNE\u201d<\/em> \u2013 sUr refers to a divine person. Here, this term actually refers to the demon pUthanA, but since she took the form of yaSOdhA, she is referred to as divine person. In perumAL thirumoizhi 7-5, kulaSEkara AzhwAr<\/a> refers to yaSOdhA as \u201cdheyva nangai yasOdhai<\/em>\u201d (the divine lady yaSOdhA). One can also consider sUr as a demon with a beautiful form. This is because demons are considered as belonging to the class of dhEvas as per the saying \u201cpiSAsO dhEva yOnaya:<\/em>\u201d in amara kOsam 1-1-11.<\/p>\n pEyaLavu kaNda<\/strong> \u2013 considering [measuring \/ estimating] her as a demon. Measuring is also killing. She [pUthanA] came to kill emperumAn<\/a>, who, knowing her intention, killed her instead. Oh emerpumAn! When you measure someone, you don\u2019t have any sorrow [difficulty]; but when someone comes to measure you, (s)he get killed, like pUthanA.<\/p>\n perumAn<\/strong> \u2013 by killing her, you removed your enemy and gave yourself to the world as its Lord. AzhwAr<\/a> points, out through this word, to harivamSam 65 which says \u201csthanyam thath vishasammiSram rasyamAsIth jagadhgurO<\/em>\u201d (the poisoned milk of pUthanA\u2019s bosom was like a sweet juice to kaNNan, the Lord of the world).<\/p>\n aRigilEn nI aLavu kaNda neRi<\/strong> \u2013 I do not know what you are thinking of. I do not know whether you are enabling me or not, to know you. Another interpretation \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> cannot estimate each and every deed of emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s. Just as you took the earth, which was snatched by mahAbali, under your feet, you had taken me under your feet and removed by enemies just as you removed pUthanA. We can take it that AzhwAr<\/a> does not know this.<\/p>\n We shall \u00a0next take up the 4th pAsuram.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa ramanuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr says \u201cdo we need all these deeds to prove that emperumAn is superior to everyone else?
