He says \u201cOne can only doubt whether you know or do not know your own greatness. No one can doubt that others are incapable of knowing your greatness\u201d (is it not true that no one knows!).\u00a0 thaiththirIya upanishath 2-8-9 says \u201csO angavEdha yadhi vA navEdha<\/em>\u201d (does he know or not, his own greatness).<\/p>\n urAy ulagu aLandha nAnRu<\/strong> \u2013 If we consider urAy<\/em> is the same as ulAy<\/em> (since the sounds ra and la are interchangeable as per grammar), it will mean wandering. In other words, emperumAn<\/a> was wandering all over the place and measuring [during his incarnation as thrivikrama]. Alternatively, since celestial entities do not set their foot on earth, instead of doing like that on his own possession of earth, emperumAn kept his divine foot firmly on top of the heads of all the people. parASara bhattar<\/a> would mercifully explain this as \u201cwhen\u00a0 he effortlessly measured, wandering\u201d<\/p>\n endhai adikkaLavu pOndha padi varAgaththu eyiRRaLavu pOdhAvARu enkolo<\/strong> \u2013 the earth, which was sufficiently big for you to measure with your divine foot, became insignificant when you took your incarnation as varAha (wild boar) such that it appeared like a dot on the tusk of the boar. How did this happen? On one day, the earth was big enough, but on another day it was insignificant. How is this! Is it not because your desire to protect the earth is much bigger than that of the protected entity, earth! And, I am fully engrossed in such qualities of yours, says the AzhwAr<\/a>.<\/p>\n We shall take up the 85th<\/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 asks emperumAn whether his protective nature was such that some people could measure it!
