<< Previous<\/a> The simplicity of emperumAn<\/a> is such that it can be known only to his followers to whom he decides to manifest and not even to dhEvathAs (deities) such as brahmA et al.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n AmE amararkku aRiyavadhu niRka<\/em> nal nenjE \u2013 Oh [my] good heart! AmE amararkku aRiya<\/strong> \u2013 Is it possible for dhEvas (celestial people) such as brahmA, rudhra et al to know emperumAn<\/a>? He is such simple, with no distinction between his simplicity and greatness, that they can not know him.<\/p>\n adhu niRka<\/strong> \u2013 moreover<\/p>\n nAmE aRigiRpOm<\/strong> \u2013 There are two interpretations: (1) can we, who are ignorant, know him when even very knowledgeable persons such as brahmA et al are unable to know him? (2) While persons such as brahmA et al do not know him, aren\u2019t we going to know him! When he shows himself up to us [his devotees] can we not know him!<\/p>\n nannenjE <\/strong>\u2013 Isn\u2019t the reason for brahmA et al not to know him, their hearts which do not obey them! But my heart! Is there any shortcoming for me when I have you who obeys me?<\/p>\n pU mEya mAdhavaththOn thAL paNindha vALarakkan nIN mudiyai pAdam aththAl eNNinAn<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> gives out the reason for their not knowing emperumAn<\/a>. When rAvaNa was begetting all his boons from brahmA, who has as his residence the lotus coming out of emperumAn\u2019s navel, and who has carried out lot of penance, emperumAn came in the form of a child and lay on the lap of brahmA. He counted the ten heads of rAvaNa with his divine feet and warned brahmA \u201cdo not grant all the boons that he is asking for. Know that the person who has come here is rAvaNan. If you grant him all the boons, you will go the wrong path\u201d and disappeared. He pointed out to brahmA \u201cthese are heads which will be severed. If you add strength to these through your boons, you will also be in deep trouble\u201d<\/p>\n pAdham aththAl eNNinAn<\/strong> \u2013 he showed the heads by scrawling on them with his enjoyable divine feet. Will brahmA, who does not know that it is not going to benefit him any way but is only going to cause him trouble, know emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s qualities?<\/p>\n We shall take up the 46th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/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 The simplicity of emperumAn is such that it can be known only to his followers to whom he decides to manifest and not even to dhEvathAs (deities) such as brahmA et al.
