<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> asked in the previous pAsuram whether it is possible to know the quality of emperumAn<\/a>. This is not something similar to a non-existing entity beyond one\u2019s knowledge. He says that It is not possible to estimate emperumAn\u2019s quality. In that case, is it that no one can know about it and do we have to give it up? AzhwAr says that it is not like that. Those who get rid of their desires in worldly pursuits and worship him, recite his divine names, would get to see his divine feet. Those who involve themselves with emperumAn fully would be fortunate to see him. We can construe it as saying that instead of their own efforts, they will get to see him out of his mercy.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n aRindhaindhum uLLadakki Aymalar koNdu Arvam<\/em> aRindhu \u2013 knowing well (the greatness of emperumAn<\/a> and the lowliness of worldly pursuits) aRindhu<\/strong> \u2013 Knowing the lowly matters and the great matters. In other words, knowing well the greatness of emperumAn<\/a> and the lowliness of worldly matters. Knowing well the lowliness of this physical form [one’s body].<\/p>\n aindhum uL adakki<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring they [one\u2019s thoughts] do not go towards lowly matters relating to Sabdham etc (the five sensory perceptions starting with sound). Pointing out to the five sensory perceptions such as Sabdham etc, the emperumAn<\/a> who is residing inside [one\u2019s heart]. Not letting the sensory perceptions to graze outside but controlling them and showing emperumAn who is inside. Making the sensory perceptions to be immersed in the beauty of emperumAn just like tying a raging bull inside the house and feeding it instead of letting it to go outside.<\/p>\n Ay malar koNdu<\/strong> \u2013 carrying the apt flowers for emperumAn<\/a>. Taking fresh flowers.<\/p>\n Arvam seRindha manaththarAy<\/strong> \u2013 being with affectionate mind, with involved mind.<\/p>\n sevvE aRindhu<\/strong> \u2013 knowing well the relationship that he is the Lord and we are the servitors.<\/p>\n avan pEr Odhi Eththum perum thavaththOr<\/strong> \u2013 the fortunate [or blessed] people who recite emperumAn\u2019s divine names and worship him. Those who have it as their nature to recite emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine names.<\/p>\n kANbarE kArOdha vaNNan kazhal<\/strong> \u2013 they will get to see the divine feet of emperumAn who is having the form of an ocean which removes the tedium in the person who sees it and comforts him.<\/p>\n kANbarE<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> expresses his desire to see emperumAn\u2019s divine feet.<\/p>\n kAr Odha vaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn\u2019s divine form is such that even nithyasUris would enjoy and experience it.<\/p>\n kANbarE<\/strong> \u2013 by emphasising with the long syllable (kANbarE<\/strong>), AzhwAr<\/a> is reassuring that they will certainly see [emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine feet]<\/p>\n We shall consider the 7th<\/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 asked in the previous pAsuram whether it is possible to know the quality of emperumAn.
