< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n The earlier pAsuram mentioned about emperumAn protecting his followers. In this pAsuram, it is mentioned that\u00a0 even though emperumAn has attained everything, he still considers those materials which have been touched by his followers as the ones sustaining him. In each of his incarnations, he considers whatever materials sustain those who are born in that species as those which sustain him. As examples, when he incarnated as varAha (boar), the tuber kOraikkizhangu<\/em> was his sustaining foodstuff and when he incarnated as krishNa (in the clan of cowherds), butter sustained him.<\/p>\n Let us look at the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n vAnAgith thIyAy maRi kadalAy mArudhamAy<\/em> vAn Agi \u2013 taking the form of ether (sky) (thus, being the controller of universe) vAn Agith thIyAy maRi kadalAy mArudhamAy<\/strong> \u2013 being the controller of all those who are living in the worlds, made of the five elements (sky, fire, water, wind and earth)<\/p>\n thEnAgip pAlAm thirumAlE<\/strong> \u2013 chAndhOgya upanishath 3-14-2 says \u201csarvarasa:<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn is sweet so that those who are in paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) can enjoy him). nampiLLai<\/a>, with lot of involvement, will mercifully say that it is impossible to match the beauty of the way in which nanjIyar<\/a> (his AchArya) would explain the line thEnAgip pAlAm thirumAlE<\/em>. Thus, by the words vAnAgi<\/em> and thEnAgi<\/em> both nithya vibhUthi (spiritual realm) and leelA vibhUthi (materialistic realm) have been referred to. His status as the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi is superior to these two, in terms of his wealth.<\/p>\n An Aychchi vNNey vizhunga niRaiyumE<\/strong> \u2013 this line implies that even though he has no unfulfilled desires, there are still certain materials that he desires. Butter is more desirable to emperumAn than pirAtti\u2019s (SrI mahAlakshmi\u2019s) divine bosom. pirAtti\u2019s bosom is for his enjoyment whereas butter is for his sustenance. Hasn\u2019t nammAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully said in thiruvAimozhi 1-3-1<\/a> \u201cmalar magaL virumbum nam arumpeRaladigaL \u2013 uralinOdu iNaindhirundhu Engiya eLivu – eththiRam<\/em>\u201d(how simple and amazing is the quality of our swAmy (lord) who is very much desired by pirAtti and is very rare to attain, who was tied down to a mortar and had a forlorn look!)<\/p>\n An Aychchi veNNey vizhunga niRaiyumE mun oru nAL maNNai umizhndha vayiRu<\/strong> \u2013 once upon a time, when there was deluge, you had saved the earth by keeping it in your stomach and later spat it out so that it could see other spatial bodies. Did you eat butter to fill up such a stomach (which held the entire earth within itself)?<\/p>\n An Aychchi veNNey<\/strong> –\u00a0 cowherd women\u2019s butter is just a material. It appears that kaNNan (SrI krishNa) would not eat the butter if the strength of smell of the cowherd clan is reduced even a little bit in the butter!<\/p>\n niRaiyumE<\/strong> \u2013 will it fill? Is it not required to stuff the entire expansive space inside the stomach with butter? Just as the samsAris will suffer because of deluge, kaNNan will also suffer if he does not get butter. It is said that piLLai uRangA villi dhAsar<\/a> (a disciple of SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>) would say that the space inside kaNNan\u2019s stomach, which will not get filled up however much butter he eats, could be let out to washermen [the meaning implied here is that kaNNan\u2019s stomach is similar to the washerman\u2019s pot which will never get filled up however much clothes are filled in it for applying starch].<\/p>\n Let us take up the 93rd<\/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 The earlier pAsuram mentioned about emperumAn protecting his followers.
