<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In this pAsuram AzhwAr<\/a> describes the state of nithyasUris (permanent dwellers of SrIvaikuNtam) who carry out service to emperumAn as their svabhAvam (nature), unlike dhEvas (celestial people) who come to emperumAn for seeking solution to their problems and leave. In the earlier pAsuram, AzhwAr spoke about the dhEvas who carry out service to emperumAn<\/a> in order to get some benefits from him. In this pAsuram he speaks about nithyasUris who transform themselves in order to serve emperumAn.<\/p>\n Let us enjoy the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n senRAl kudaiyAm irundhAl singAsanamAm<\/em> thirumARku \u2013 for emperumAn<\/a> who is with pirAtti<\/a> (SrI mahAlakshmi) senRAl kudaiyAm<\/strong> \u2013 thiruvananthAzhwAn assumes various forms appropriate to emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s needs to carry out service. When emperumAn goes out on foot, he will be his umbrella. AdhiSEshan cannot tell emperumAn \u201cI want to be an umbrella. Come and stand under me\u201d as it will be contrary to servitorship. Hence when emperumAn leaves for some place, he becomes his umbrella. The opinion here is that services rendered to emperumAn would be as per emperumAn’s wishes and not as per the servitor\u2019s.<\/p>\n irundhAL singAsanamAm<\/strong> \u2013 when emperumAn<\/a> desires to sit, AdhiSEshan will be his throne.<\/p>\n ninRal maravadiyAm<\/strong> \u2013 when emperumAn desires to stand, AdhiSEshan will be his sandals.<\/p>\n ninRal<\/strong> \u2013 after<\/em> emperumAn stands, AdhiSEshan will be his sandals.<\/p>\n nIL kadaluL enRum puNaiyAm<\/strong> \u2013 in the expansive ocean, when emperumAn wants to rest awhile, he will be the soft mattress. puNai<\/em> would also mean a float (the meaning then will be that he will be a float in thiruppARkadal<\/em> (milky ocean) for emperumAn)<\/p>\n maNi viLakkAm<\/strong> \u2013 AdhiSEshan will be an auspicious lamp. There is a variant in the phrase, with aNi viLakkAm\u00a0<\/strong>also used.\u00a0In this case the meaning will change to beautiful lamp. If emperumAn<\/a> wants to see objects, AdhiSEshan will become auspicious lamp.<\/p>\n pUm pattAm<\/strong> \u2013 if emperumAn desires in his divine mind to wear a beautiful dress, AdhiSEshan will be his dress. He will become his yellow silky dress which indicates that emperumAn is the supreme entity.<\/p>\n pulgum aNaiyAm<\/strong> \u2013 when emperumAn<\/a> desires to recline,\u00a0 he will become the pillow. If there is any (feigned) discord between emperumAn and pirAtti<\/a>, AdhiSEshan will become the pillow for emperumAn to embrace and forget the discord. Alternatively, it can be construed that emperumAn will embrace AdhiSEshan (as a pillow) due to which discord will arise between emperumAn and pirAtti.<\/p>\n thirumARku<\/strong> \u2013 AdhiSEshan carries out service to both emperumAn<\/a> and pirAtti<\/a>. Just as lakshmaNa carried out service to rAma when he was joined by sIthA, AdhiSEshan also carries out service to emperumAn when he is conjoined with pirAtti. Just as golden bar can be converted into ornaments as we desire, AdhiSEshan also transforms into umbrella, throne, sandals, float, lamp, divine dress, pillow etc while carrying out service to emperumAn [and pirAtti]. emperumAn and pirAtti need not feel shy due to the presence of AdhiSEshan when they are engaged in playing with each other and he remains as their mattress. Just as dwarfs and humpbacks go around the private quarters of royalties when the King and Queen are experiencing pleasurable moments without disturbing them, AdhiSEshan also remains without intruding.<\/p>\n What has been mentioned for AdhiSEshan is applicable to other nithyasUris too.<\/p>\n We shall consider the 54th<\/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 In this pAsuram AzhwAr describes the state of nithyasUris (permanent dwellers of SrIvaikuNtam) who carry out service to emperumAn as their svabhAvam (nature), unlike dhEvas (celestial people) who come to emperumAn for seeking solution to their problems and leave.
