<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the earlier pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that samsAris (jIvAthmAs who inhabit the materialistic realm) do not know what benefits they need and only emperumAn<\/a> knows those. In this pAsuram, to the question as to why emperumAn should protect them, AzhwAr says that since emperuman sired them, he has to protect them. Other than the one who fathered them, is there anyone who can nurture them? He says that these people not only do not know what is good for them, they do not even know their births.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n ulagum ulagiRandha Uzhiyum oNkEzh<\/em> ulagum \u2013 all the worlds ulagum<\/strong> \u2013 worlds or the substances in the worlds<\/p>\n ulagu iRandha Uzhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 time which does not get destroyed and remains when the entire worlds are destroyed during deluge. Alternatively, during deluge, those substances which are in subtle form indicated by time.<\/p>\n oN kEzh vilagu karum kadalum<\/strong> \u2013 ocean which has beautiful colour, which throws out waves and which is invigorating.<\/p>\n veRpum<\/strong> \u2013 the mountains which appear to be holding (sustaining) earth<\/p>\n ulaginil sem thIyum mArudhamum vAnum<\/strong> \u2013 all the reddish coloured objects in the world related to light, breeze and sky (ether). AzhwAr<\/a> mentions the causative factors by stating these 5 elements.\u00a0 Alternatively, he is mentioning a few resultant objects.<\/p>\n thirumAl than pundhiyil Aya puNarppu<\/strong> –\u00a0 all these have been created for the pastime of perumAL<\/a> and pirAtti (SrI mahAlakshmi)<\/a>. AzhwAr says that emperumAn<\/a> created these to make pirAtti happy, through his sankalpa<\/em> (vow).Just as SrI parASara bhattar<\/a> says in SrI rangarAja sthavam 2-88 \u201cupAyOpEyathvE thadhiha <\/em>\u201d (both the means of attaining you and the resultant benefit that you grant are natural to you), emperumAn himself is the means and the benefit! He needs our assistance in protecting us only if he needs our assistance when creating us! [in other words he does not need our assistance]. emperumAn who creates the worlds for pirAtti\u2019s enjoyment remains the means for knowing their protection too. nammAzhwAr<\/a> in his thiruvAimozhi 3-7-8<\/a> says that the one who creates the worlds is emperumAn himself \u201cnambanai gyAlam padaiththavanai thirumArvanai<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n We shall take up 62nd<\/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 the earlier pAsuram, AzhwAr said that samsAris (jIvAthmAs who inhabit the materialistic realm) do not know what benefits they need and only emperumAn knows those.
