< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Why point out a fault in Siva that he took gangA which has connection with the divine feet of emperumAn<\/a> on his shining matted hair? He is being called Isvaran<\/em> (one who controls) and is responsible for the function of destruction. AzhwAr<\/a> says that he got the quality of being Isvaran <\/em>because he is the body (SarIram) of emperumAn and not of his own nature.<\/p>\n Let us look at the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pon thigazhum mEnip purisadai am puNNiyanum<\/em> pon thigazhum mEni \u2013 having a form which shines like gold pon thigazhum mEnip puri sadai<\/strong> \u2013 having a physical form shining like gold and having platted, matted hair.<\/p>\n am puNNiyanum<\/strong> \u2013 Siva did penance beautifully and observed means by himself. emperumAn<\/a> has a comfortable form resembling dark clouds [being magnanimous, ready to pour benefits on everyone]. The golden form of Siva which is like fire, indicates that his form is the exact opposite of emperumAn\u2019s. That Siva is different from emperumAn is brought out by his matted hair, which is the exact opposite of the long crown that emperumAn has. From these two verses, it is clearly mentioned that emperumAn is superior to Siva in every way.<\/p>\n am puNNiyanum<\/strong> \u2013 mahAbhAratham SAnthi parvam 20-12 says \u201cmahAdhEvasarvayagyE mahAthmA hUthvAthmAnam dhEvadhEvO babhUva<\/em>\u201d (rudhra, the mahAthmA (great soul) in the sarvayagya (a kind of ritual) offered himself as the havis (a material which is given as an offering during the ritual) and became a dhEvadhEvan (dhEva among the dhEvas)). Due to the grace of emperumAn<\/a>, rudhra (Siva) who had carried out sinful deeds, reached an exalted state and hence AzhwAr<\/a> calls him as puNNiyan (one who has done virtuous deed).<\/p>\n ninRu ulagam thAya nedumAlum<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn had carried out many exalted deeds, as per his desires. He is also the sarvESvaran (Lord of all) who kept his divine feet on the heads of Siva and others, without any distinction.<\/p>\n enRum iruval angaththAL thirivarElum<\/strong> \u2013 even if they exist with two different forms always<\/p>\n oruvan oruvan angaththu enRum uLan<\/strong> \u2013 one (Siva) is the body of another (nArAyaNa) and exists. Or, one (Siva) would reside in a part of the divine form of the other (nArAyaNa) and have his existence. Hasn\u2019t nammAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully said in thiruvAimozhi 1-3-9<\/a> \u201cvalaththanan thirupuram eriththavan<\/em>\u201d (the one on the right side of emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine form is Siva who burnt the three towns)! Thus, hasn\u2019t nammAzhwAr mercifully said in thiruvAimozhi 4-10-3<\/a> \u201cparan thiRam anRip pallulagIr dheyvam maRRillai<\/em>\u201d (there is no other deity without being under the control of emperumAn)! [the inference is that this 98th<\/sup> pAsuram of poygai AzhwAr<\/a> is the root for nammAzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s pAsuram in thiruvAimozhi 4-10-3].<\/p>\n We shall consider the 99th<\/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 Why point out a fault in Siva that he took gangA which has connection with the divine feet of emperumAn on his shining matted hair?
