<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram AzhwAr<\/a> mentioned about the victories of kaNNan and Sri Rama. In this pAsuram he celebrates [emperumAn\u2019s ] other incarnations and his activities.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n nIyanRu ulagaLandhAy nINda thirumAlE<\/em> pErOdham mEnip pirAn \u2013 Oh benefactor who has the divine form like a huge ocean! nI anRu ulagu aLandhAy<\/strong> \u2013 sages say that you made yourself as a mendicant, approached mahAbali, who becomes joyous on donating anything, got the worlds as alms from him and measured them with your divine feet. Since AzhwAr<\/a> spoke in the previous pAsuram about krishNAvathAram in which he moved with everyone without bothering about whether they were high or low in status, mentions in this pAsuram about thrivikrama, who touched the heads of everyone with his divine feet [without any distinction].<\/p>\n nINda thirumAlE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi<\/a>, and who is beyond any measurement.<\/p>\n nInda thirumAlE<\/strong> \u2013 you measured the earth which you got as alms and which appeared as if it was something which you could never have got otherwise. You, who are immeasurable, made yourself to be measured by others through this act! In other words, you, the consort of mahAlakshmi, who is the owner of all wealth, made yourself into a mendicant and a bachelor!<\/p>\n nI anRu ulagu idandhAy enbarAl<\/strong> \u2013 sages say that since there was none from whom you can ask for alms when the world was being submerged during praLayam<\/em> (deluge), you took the form of a boar which roams around in water and marshy lands, to release the earth which had got stuck to the walls of the universe and to dig out.<\/p>\n nI anRu kArOdham mun kadaindhu pin adaiththAy<\/strong> \u2013 mention is made of his activities for pirAtti<\/em> (SrI mahAlakshmi). AzhwAr<\/a> reminisces about the activities which he carried out for others and for mahAlakshmi without any difference. When indhra (head of celestial entities) and others surrendered to you after losing all their possessions due to the curse of sage dhurvAsa, you churned the great, black coloured ocean, first to get SrI mahAlakshmi and then blocked it (by building a bridge over it during rAmAvathAram).<\/p>\n pin adaiththAy mA kadalai<\/strong> \u2013 you blocked the ocean, which you churned [initially] for the sake of pirAtti, again for the sake of pirAtti.<\/p>\n pEr Odha mEnip pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 the one who has the complexion of ocean, churned the ocean. During the time of churning as well as during the time of blocking, it appeared as if one ocean was shaking another.<\/p>\n pErOdha mEni<\/strong> \u2013 the ocean would appear like a pond when viewed against emperumAn.<\/p>\n pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 benefactor. emperumAn appeared to AzhwAr<\/a> as nectar, without having to churn the ocean to obtain nectar. emperumAn gave the nectar which he obtained by churning the ocean, to dhEvas (celestial entities) while he offered himself, who is ArAvamudhan (insatiable nectar) to AzhwAr. mA kadal<\/em> refers to huge ocean. One can construe the meaning for this term as \u201cbenefactor who has a form matching huge flood\u201d<\/p>\n pErOdha mEnippirAn nI anRu ulagaLandhAy<\/strong> \u2013 Should one measure the world which are composed of forests and craters, with a beautiful form matching ocean!<\/p>\n We shall take up the 31st<\/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 In the previous pAsuram AzhwAr mentioned about the victories of kaNNan and Sri Rama.
