<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n As AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s divine mind started engaging with emperumAn<\/a> this way, emperumAn, instead of dwelling at places that he had seen, even though they were all suitable, chose to keep AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind as his dwelling place, and entered it. He did not go to any other place, deciding to remain in AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind. In other words, this pAsuram says that as soon as AzhwAr desired emeprumAn\u2019s inseparable place of SrIvaikuNtam, emperumAn desired AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n manaththuLLAn vEngadaththAn mAkadalAn maRRum<\/em> enai palarum \u2013 countless vaidhika purushas<\/em> (those who follow vEdham, the sacred text) and vEdha purusha<\/em> (vEdham itself); thus by all entities manaththuLLAn<\/strong> \u2013 Just as periyAzhwAr<\/a> had mercifully mentioned in his periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 5-4-10 \u201cidavagaigaL igazhndhittu enpAl idavagai koNdanaiyE<\/em>\u201d (leaving aside all other dwelling places, you decided to stay in my heart), emperumAn<\/a> left all other places and entered AzhwAr<\/a>‘s mind.<\/p>\n vEngadaththAn mAkadalAn<\/strong> \u2013 just before entering AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s divine mind, the places where he had taken residence \u2013 thiruppARkadal and thiruvEngadam (it is implied that he had taken residence in those places only to attract AzhwAr and through those places he entered AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind). Just as he had taken residence at thiruppARkadal before standing in thirumalai, in order to enter AzhwAr\u2019s mind, he stood in thirumalai.<\/p>\n maRRum ninaippariya nIL arangathth uLLAn<\/strong> \u2013 unlike thiruppARkadal or thirumalai, one cannot say thiruvarangam (SrIrangam) in one word. It is very sweet and very huge and suited emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s reclining. He reclines in this place as if to tell everyone that he will not leave this place until he attains everyone and seems to be staging a protest! Just as it is mentioned in thaiththirIya upanishath \u201caprApya manasA saha<\/em>\u201d (the words returned with the mind, being unable to measure emperumAn), it may be possible to measure emperumAn\u2019s auspicious qualities, but it is impossible to measure the sweetness of thiruvarangam.<\/p>\n nIL arangam<\/strong> \u2013 very expansive temple.<\/p>\n enaip palarum dhEvAdhi dhEvan enappaduvAn<\/strong> \u2013 vEdhas (sacred texts) and vaidhika purushas (those who practice vEdham) say, as in SvEthAsvathara upanishath \u201cthamISvarANAm paramam mahESvaram<\/em>\u201d (you are the Lord of all the Lords) and as in thiruvAimozhi 1-1-1<\/a> \u201cayarvaRum amarargaL adipathi<\/em>\u201d (he is the Lord of nithyasUris who do not forget anything).<\/p>\n paNdorunAL mAvAy piLandha magan<\/strong> \u2013 earlier, when he incarnated as krishNa, he, as a child, had torn the mouth of a demon by name kESi. Or, one who incarnated as a human being. Since he destroyed kESi, AzhwAr<\/a> says that emperumAn<\/a> removes the enemy who is a hurdle in emperumAn entering his heart. One who is called the Lord of all Lords, one who is in thiruppARkadal, one who tore the mouth of a demon, one who reclines in thiruvarangam which is beyond anyone\u2019s thoughts, one who resides in thiruvEngadam, entered my heart. One who is the Lord of nithyasUris, one who reclined in thiruppARkadal in order to protect the worlds, who incarnated as kaNNan, who destroyed kESi, the demon, who is the Lord of all Lords, who is reclining in the immeasurable thiruvarangam, one who is staying put at thiruvEngadam instead of moving here and there, desired my heart and instead of going to any other place, took permanent residence there itself, says the AzhwAr<\/a>.<\/p>\n We shall take up the 29th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/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 As AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind started engaging with emperumAn this way, emperumAn, instead of dwelling at places that he had seen, even though they were all suitable, chose to keep AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind as his dwelling place, and entered it.
