In the third pAsuram, since AzhwAr<\/a> did not have his desires fulfilled even after calling out like this, he thinks “Hopefully emperumAn<\/a> is not thinking that I will conduct my activities on my own” and says to emperumAn “you should mercifully fulfil my desires”.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, AzhwAr<\/a>\u00a0says “I who am an akinchana (empty handed), do not want my desires fulfilled from anyone other than you; you who made me like this, should see that I serve at your divine feet forever”.<\/p>\n

[In SrIvachana bhUshaNa dhivya SAsthram sUthram 46, “en nAn seygEn<\/em>” is quoted. In the previous sUthrams it is explained that one may surrender to archAvathAra emperumAn<\/a> due to agyAnam (not having knowledge to practice other means), adhika gyAnam (being greatly knowledgeable about the nature of self being totally dependent on emperumAn) and bhakthi pAravaSyam (overwhelming devotion). This sUthram explains that AzhwAr<\/a> exhibits all these three qualities while surrendering to emperumAn<\/a>. Let us see how this is explained by piLLai lOkAchAryar<\/a> and maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a>.<\/p>\n
