<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says – this being the position, I should have had the devotion that yaSOdhA pirAtti had towards you. Even though I did not have love towards you to that extent, I had an involvement with you. He pleads with emperumAn<\/a> to have mercy on him so that the lowliness of having to fall at the feet of other dhEvathAs for eons should not recur.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pErththanai mAsagadam piLLaiyAy maNNirandhu<\/em> kAvalanE \u2013 Oh, the omni-protector! (stroking it with your divine feet to make it comfortable) (Moreover) pErththanai mAsagadam piLLaiyAy<\/strong> \u2013 even when you were a little child, you destroyed a huge wheel which could not be moved, by kicking it.<\/p>\n mA sagadam<\/strong> \u2013 huge wheel. AzhwAr<\/a> is afraid as to what will happen [to emperumAn<\/a>] if this wheel comes and gives him difficulties. This was an activity carried out by emperumAn even before he had become a youth.<\/p>\n maN irandhu kAththanai pal uyirum<\/strong> \u2013 even as mahAbali seized the worlds which were your possession, you took the role of a mendicant for the sake of indhra (head of celestial persons), sought the worlds as alms and with your divine feet, caressed the heads of all chEthanas (sentient entities) and uplifted them.<\/p>\n kAvalanE<\/strong> \u2013 the reason for carrying out the [above-mentioned] deed is that you are the protector.\u00a0 Thus, while protecting is the quality of the protector, the quality of those protected is to carry out kainkaryam (service) to the protector. His activity is that of a protector and my activity is that of a servitor.<\/p>\n When asked as to what he was going to carry out, AzhwAr<\/a> responds saying<\/p>\n nin uLLi ninRamaiyAl<\/strong> \u2013 since I am involved with you, who are having such a quality [of being a protector]<\/p>\n Eththiya nA udaiyEn pU udaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 I am having a tongue which will recite hymns about you and a body with which I can carry out bodily service to you. AzhwAr<\/a> says that he has a tongue and hence he can carry out servitorship to emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ehthiya nA udaiyEN<\/strong> \u2013 I have a tongue which will praise emperumAn without having to wait for me to give it orders to do so.<\/p>\n pU udaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 I have flowers too with which I can carry out service to you.<\/p>\n nin uLLi niRamaiyAL Eththiya nA udaiyEn pU udaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 since I attained you, I became endowed with abundance of limbs and materials with which to worship you. Since I thought of emperumAn<\/a> who is fit to be attained, I do not have any shortcoming. Even then, there is something which you have to do….<\/p>\n kA adiyEn patta kadai<\/strong> \u2013 you have to mercifully bless me, your follower, so that the lowliness that I have been accruing because of carrying out service to other deities who are not fit for those, will not come my way hereafter.<\/p>\n adiyEn patta kadai\u00a0 kA<\/strong> \u2013 I, who am having the pride of being your servitor.\u00a0 You have to mercifully ensure that I, who now have the greatness of being your servitor, do not suffer the lowliness of being the servitor to others.<\/p>\n adiyEn patta kadai<\/strong> \u2013 how can I describe how I suffered by falling at the feet of other deities, when I belong only to emperumAn<\/a>?<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 11th<\/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 says – this being the position, I should have had the devotion that yaSOdhA pirAtti had towards you.
