<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s sensory perceptions went ahead of him and engaged with emperumAn<\/a>. They started instructing AzhwAr \u201cAzhwIr! Do not let go of emperumAn!\u201d. In the earlier pAsuram, AzhwAr stood in the position of guru<\/em> (teacher) and instructed his sensory perceptions. In this pAsuram, his sensory perceptions instructed him on the same matter, in the position of guru<\/em>. Thus the guru-Sishya<\/em> (teacher-student) order has got reversed in this pAsuram.<\/p>\n Let us enjoy the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n anbAzhiyAnai aNugennum nA avanthan<\/em> anbu \u2013 the mind which is full of love anbu AzhiyAnai aNugu ennum<\/strong> \u2013 mind is such that it is an embodiment of affection which is as deep as the ocean. Thus, instead of calling it as mind, AzhwAr<\/a> is referring to it as anbu<\/em> which means affection. Such a mind is instructing AzhwAr to approach and attain emperumAn<\/a>. In the earlier pAsuram, AzhwAr instructed his heart [the terms heart and mind are interchangeably used in all these pAsurams] \u201cadalAzhi koNdAn mAttu anbu vidal<\/em>\u201d (Oh dear heart! Do not let go of the affection towards emperumAn). Looking at AzhwAr, his heart tells him \u201cdo not worry about me. Please do not let go of emperumAn\u201d.<\/p>\n AzhiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 just as one is engrossed with the bracelets worn by princes on their shoulders and forearms, the heart is engrossed with the beauty of the emperumAn<\/a> who is having the divine disc on his hand.<\/p>\n nA avanthan paNbu Azhith thOL paravi Eththu ennum<\/strong> \u2013 my tongue will instruct me to worship, even if in an disorderly way, his simplicity and strong shoulders.<\/p>\n AzhiththOL <\/strong>\u2013 For the word Azhi i<\/em>nstead of the meaning \u201cstrong\u201d, if one were to consider the meaning \u201cocean\u201d, we can say that his divine shoulders are like the beautiful ocean.<\/p>\n munbu Uzhi kANAnaik kAN ennum kaN<\/strong> \u2013 eyes will instruct me to worship emperumAn<\/a> who has not seen the times of eons. My eyes do not know whether that is possible or not.<\/p>\n munbu Uzhik kANAn<\/strong> \u2013 Are we not those who have committed faults? We do not have to fear as how we will attain emperumAn. AzhwAr<\/a> says that emperumAn will forget the times when we carried out such offences. If he thinks of those times, wouldn\u2019t he be reminded of our offences too? Hence, along with our faults, he forgets the times too, when we committed such faults. Didn\u2019t nammAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully say in his thiruvAimozhi 2-7-3 \u201cmAdhavan enRadhE koNdu ennai ini ippAl pattadhu yAdhavangaLum sErkodEn enRu<\/em>\u201d (Since I merely said mAdhava<\/em>, emperumAn<\/a> vowed that he will not allow any difficulties to come to me for all times hereafter)! We would know whether he is looking at us with anger or with affection in his eyes when he sees us. Hence eyes will say \u201clook at him\u201d.<\/p>\n sevi kEL ennum pUN Aram pUNdAn pugazh<\/strong> \u2013 my eyes will tell me \u201ceven if he sees our fault, why cannot you hear the praise of emperumAn who is beautiful, with such ornaments?\u201d<\/p>\n pUN Aram<\/strong> \u2013 decorative ornaments for the divine physical form which, by itself, is like an ornament.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t hanuman say in SrI rAmAyaNam kishkinthA kANdam \u201csarvabhUshaNa bhUshArhA:<\/em>\u201d (divine shoulders which will decorate all the ornaments)!<\/p>\n pUNdAn<\/strong> \u2013 beauty which is to be decorated.<\/p>\n pugazh<\/strong> \u2013 isn\u2019t praising emperumAn an ornament for AthmA<\/a>!<\/p>\n We shall consider the 73rd<\/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 AzhwAr\u2019s sensory perceptions went ahead of him and engaged with emperumAn.
