<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the earlier pAsuram it was mentioned that those who have desire for mOksham (SrIvaikuNtam) and who have knowledge [about emperumAn<\/a>] will praise his divine feet and recite his divine names. Why is there such a compulsion? It is because the people mentioned here are those with knowledge. AzhwAr<\/a> says in this pAsuram that since there is no target for knowledge other than emperumAn<\/a>, the consort of thirumagaL <\/em>(SrI mahAlakshmi)<\/a>, only he can be praised.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n peyarum karum kadalE nOkkum ARu oNpU<\/em> ARu \u2013 river (In the same way) peyarum karum kadalE nOkkum ARu<\/strong> \u2013 if it is a river, it will be flowing fully and will flow only towards ocean which keeps throwing out waves. Rivers do not flow towards oceans to fill them, but because they cannot remain without joining oceans.<\/p>\n oN pU uyarum kadhiravanE nOkkum<\/strong> \u2013 beautiful lotus flower will not blossom without looking at sun, however far sun may be. It will not blossom by looking at any other entity. Even if hot embers are placed next to it, the lotus will not blossom.<\/p>\n uyirum dharumanaiyE nOkkum<\/strong> \u2013 most of the AthmAs will be under the control of only yama, the lord of righteousness. Other than SrIvaishNavas,\u00a0 whom even yama will avoid going nearby saying \u201cthey are not under my control\u201d, all the others are under his control.<\/p>\n oN thAmaraiyAL kELvan oruvanaiyE nOkkum uNarvu<\/strong> \u2013 in the same way, knowledge will be devoted only to the consort of thirumagaL<\/em> (SrI mahalakshmi). SrIvishNu purANam 6-5-87 says \u201csamgyAyathE yEna thadhasdhOsham Sudhdham param nirmalamEkarUpam, sandhruSyathE vA\u2019pyathi gamyathE vA thath gyAnamagyAna mathO\u2019nya dhuktham<\/em>\u201d(that knowledge with which the faultless, pure, incomparable supreme entity is known, seen and attained, that alone is gyAnam<\/em> (knowledge). All the rest are agyAnam<\/em> (ignorance)). For the lotus called AthmA<\/a>, emperumAn<\/a> and pirAtti<\/a> are the sun and its rays which blossom the knowledge. Usage of the emphatic syllable \u201cE<\/em>\u201d (oruvanaiyE<\/em>) implies that AthmA does not have sustenance without emperumAn. AthmA is inseparable from emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine feet like the lines and shadow of the feet.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 68th<\/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 it was mentioned that those who have desire for mOksham (SrIvaikuNtam) and who have knowledge [about emperumAn] will praise his divine feet and recite his divine names.
