How did you know it?\u201d AzhwAr responds saying \u201cYou can keep my mouth closed. But can you shut the mouths of the people of this world? (The whole world knows about your nature, after seeing the scars on you)\u201d<\/p>\n Let us enjoy the pAsuram and its meanings.<\/p>\n aRiyum ulagellAm yAnEyum allEn<\/em> poRi koL siRai \u2013 wings with many colours aRiyum ulagellAm yAnEyum allEn<\/strong> \u2013 Doesn\u2019t the whole world know about this! Do not think that only I am talking about it. Even an enemy such as SiSupAlan knows about this!<\/p>\n poRi koL siRai uvaNam UrndhAy<\/strong> \u2013 You are capable of guiding garudan who has multi coloured wings. Aren\u2019t you the one who controls the entities who have the nature of carrying out kainkaryam [service] to you!<\/p>\n veRi kamazhum<\/strong> \u2013 yasOdhA pirAtti with fragrance. She decorates herself with sweet smelling fragrances so that her little child krishNa will not feel disappointed. Alternative explanation \u2013 one who emits sweet fragrance as her nature.<\/p>\n kAmby Ey menthoLi \u00a0kadai veNNey uNdAyai<\/strong> \u2013 yaSOdhA pirAtti has her shoulders like bamboo; it is not hard as bamboo, but soft. Her shoulders are compared to bamboo stick since they are fresh, long and beautiful.<\/p>\n kadai veNNey uNdAyai<\/strong> \u2013 the butter churned with so much of difficulty by yaSOdhA pirAtti without even minding her soft shoulders and which you ate. This action sustains them both \u2013 it sustains yaSOdhA because she considers kaNNan (krishNa) as her life and krishNa considers butter as his life.<\/p>\n thambE koNdu Arththa thazhumbu<\/strong> \u2013 your divine body is so soft especially when you sit astride periya thiruvadi<\/em> (garuda). yaSOdhA tied [such] you with rope. When she caught krishNa, she tied him with some torn rope that she could lay her hands on. She could have searched for a good rope; but by the time she found such a rope, krishNa would have escaped. Hence she tied him with a torn rope. She cannot lengthen the rope, neither could she contract the ural<\/em> (mortar). When she found that the rope was short, she found space in his own body (by asking him to pull in his stomach). All the AzhwArs<\/a> get deeply involved and look at in bewilderment at \u00a0the rope which was used to tie him. thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> says in periya thirumozhi 5-9-7 \u201ckaNNiyAr kuRum kayiRRAl<\/em>\u201d (with a small rope which had several knots); madhurakavi AzhwAr<\/a> says in kaNNinuN siRuth thAmbu 1<\/a> \u201ckaNNi nuN siRuth thAmbinAl<\/em>\u201d(with a small rope which had several knots and which was crossing his body). SrIvishNu purANam 5-6-14 says \u201cdhAmnA chaiva udharE badhvA prathyabadhnAth ulUkalE krishNamaklishta karmANamAhachEdhamamarshithA<\/em>\u201d (yaSOdha, who bound krishNa, who is not bound by karma, with a rope across his stomach to a mortar, said …). thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> says in periya thirumozhi 2-10-6 \u201cthaRiyArndha karum kaLiRE pOla ninRu thadam kaNgaL pani malgum thanmaiyAnai<\/em>\u201d- here thaRiyArndha karum kaLiRu pOla ninRu<\/em> refers to krishNa who stood like an arrogant elephant and thdam kaNkaL pani malgum thanmaiyAnai<\/em> refers to krishNa standing there, with tears in his eyes, without knowing his strength (just as an elephant stays bound by a chain to a pillar, not knowing its strength). Thus [poygai] AzhwAr<\/a> tells emperumAn<\/a> “it is not only I, but the entire world knows the scar that you had because you were bound to a mortar with a rope”.<\/p>\n Let us move on to the 23rd<\/sup> 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 emperumAn asks AzhwAr, \u201cYou mentioned that it is my nature to mingle with my followers.
