All of these are explained in AchArya hrudhayam by azhagiya maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr in great detail.<\/li>\n<li>arththa panckam is explained elaborately in the commentary. We can see the gist of that here:\n<ul>\n<li><em>mikka iRai nilai<\/em> – As explained in nArAyaNa sUktham “<em>thathvam nArAyaNa: para:<\/em>” (srIman nArAyaNa – the supreme entity) etc., and in many pAsurams in thiruvAimozhi and other dhivya prabandhams,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">srIman nArAyaNa<\/a> is the supreme lord. As <a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2013\/01\/16\/thirumazhisai-azhwar\/\">thirumazhisai AzhwAr<\/a> says in nAnmugan thiruvanthAdhi 53 “<em>thiruvillAth thEvaraith thEREnmin thEvu<\/em>” (I will not consider any one other than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">srIman nArAyaNa<\/a> as worshippable), <a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">srI mahAlakshmi<\/a> is also considered as important identity for <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a>. That too\u00a0<a href=\"%20http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/p\/archavathara-anubhavam.html\">archAvathAra emperumAn<\/a> – who is the most approachable form, is established as the ultimate goal.<\/li>\n<li><em>meyyAm uyir nilai<\/em> – <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">jIvAthmA<\/a> is that which is different from matter, being filled with gyAnam (knowledge) and Anandham (bliss), eternal and fully dependent on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> just like the body is dependent on the soul. sarIra (body) – sarIri (soul) bhAvam (relationship) is also explained in detail as in “<em>yasya AthmA saIram<\/em>” (AthmA is body of paramAthmA), thiruvAimozhi 1.2.4 “<em>uLLathum … avanuru<\/em>” (AthmA is his body\/form). The svarUpa yAthAthmyam (essence of <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">jIvAthmA<\/a>‘s nature) is to reach the stage of being totally dependent on thadhIya (devotees of <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><em>thakka neRi<\/em> – It is the responsibility of the AthmA to protect the body. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> being the parmAthmA is the ultimate upAyam (means) for one being uplifted as he himself says in gIthA 18.66 “<em>mAsucha:<\/em>”\u00a0 (do not worry). And when we understand that we are totally subservient to thadhIyas (devotees), they themselvse are the means to uplift us as well – this is upAya yAthAmyam (essence of upAyam).<\/li>\n<li><em>thadaiyAgith thokkiyalum Uzhvinai<\/em> – This is the hurdle that stops us from reaching the ultimate goal of eternal kainkaryam. The karmA from unlimited births which are carried with us is the main hurdle.

The cruelty of such apachArams (mainly <a href=\"http:\/\/ponnadi.blogspot.in\/2012\/08\/srivaishnava-lakshanam-7.html\">bhAgavatha apachAram<\/a>) is explained in thirumAlai 33 “<em>amaravOrangam<\/em>…” pAsuram etc., in great detail.<\/li>\n<li><em>vAzhvinai<\/em> – that great life of eternal kainkaryam at the lotus feet of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">srIman nArAyaNa<\/a> in paramapadham.
