<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> asks AzhwAr<\/a> \u201chow do you know that I am at the disposal of my followers and would engage in activities desired by them?\u201d. AzhwAr responds, saying \u201cyou are holding the disc that killed the demons madhu and kaitabha. You also held the mountain gOvardhana as an umbrella and you also controlled the seven bulls. All these activities were\u00a0 carried out for the sake of your followers and not without any reason \u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n varai kudai thOL kAmbAga Anirai kAththu Ayar<\/em> uravu udaiya \u2013 having strength varai kudai thOL kAmbAga Anirai kAththu<\/strong> \u2013 you\u00a0 held the mountain (gOvardhana) which could not be shaken by anything, as an umbrella, keeping your shoulder as the handle for that mountain, in order to protect cows.<\/p>\n Ayar nirai vidai Ezh seRRavARu ennE<\/strong> \u2013 why did you kill the seven huge bulls which came as a hurdle to your marrying nappinnai pirAtti [incarnation of nILA dhEvi during krishNAvathAram]? Was it to demonstrate your omnipotent nature? It was to offer yourself to your followers, who have no other refuge,\u00a0 by removing their enemies. Instead of hurling your divine disc at indhra [who ordained hailstorm to trouble the cowherds] you protected the cows and cowherds by lifting the gOvardhana hill, hurting your shoulders!<\/p>\n uravudaiya nIr AzhiyuL kidandhu<\/strong> \u2013 uragam<\/em> means snake and uravudaiya nIr<\/em> would refer to ocean having snake. Here reference to snake implies all the wild species in the ocean. Alternatively uram<\/em> also means midukku<\/em> which is strength. Here it would refer to ocean which is deep. You were reclining on such thiruppARkadal (milky ocean).<\/p>\n nErA nisAsarar mEl<\/strong> \u2013 even during the time that you were resting, reclining on thiruppARkadal, you powdered to pieces the demons madhu and kataibha with your divine disc, when they came as enemies. What sort of activities have you indulged in \u2013 killing demons even when you were resting, holding the mountain which would have pained your shoulders, killing the well grown bulls risking your divine form! Thus, when his followers face trouble from their enemies, instead of killing them through his sankalp<\/em> (will),\u00a0emperumAn<\/a> comes in person and removes their hurdles, suffering pain to his divine form.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 84th<\/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 emperumAn asks AzhwAr \u201chow do you know that I am at the disposal of my followers and would engage in activities desired by them?\u201d.
