<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n When asked as to what we should do to fulfil the purpose of taking this birth, AzhwAr<\/a> says that only reciting the divine names of the consort of thirumagaL (mahAlakshmi)<\/a> instead of claiming ownership of others\u2019 possessions will be the purpose of this birth and the activity that we should carry out. He says that instead of treating wealth as purushArtham<\/em> (goal), enjoying emperumAn<\/a> is the only apt activity for everyone.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n emakkenRu irunidhiyam EmAndhirAdhE<\/em> irunidhiyam \u2013 great wealth emakkenRu irunidhiyam<\/strong> EmAndhirAdhE<\/strong> \u2013 one who thinks that wealth is for him instead of knowing about those who do not think of wealth as important<\/p>\n irunidhiyam emakku enRu EmAndhirAdhE<\/strong> \u2013 Considering others\u2019 huge wealth as one\u2019s own. Later, praising emperumAn<\/a> and getting emboldened to keep one\u2019s legs on the head of yama (lord of righteousness). Just as it is mentioned in thaiththirIya upanishath Anandhavalli 9 \u201cAnandham brahmaNO vidhvAn na bibhEthi kuthaSchana<\/em>\u201d (one who knows the happiness of emperumAn will not be afraid of anything), one who is without any fear. Is it apt to consider emperumAn\u2019s wealth as one\u2019s own? When emperumAn who is the epitome of happiness is there, would one desire a little bit of gold? The mere thought of wealth will bring in sadness. But in the case of one who thinks of emperumAn, he becomes fearless as mentioned in thaiththirIya upanishath Anandhavalli 6 \u201cathasO bhayangathO bhavathi<\/em>\u201d (he becomes fearless).<\/p>\n thamakku enRum sArvam aRindhu<\/strong> \u2013 think that it is only emperumAn who is the refuge. Thinking that the only permanent refuge for us is emperumAn. emperumAn thinks of the jIvAthmA as being always for him, even when the jIvAthmA does not know what is apt for him.<\/p>\n namakku enRum mAdhavanE ennum manam padaiththu<\/strong> \u2013 having the heart considering that it is only thirumAl (consort of SrI mahAlakshmi<\/a>) who is our refuge. Having the heart, considering that it only thirumAL who is apt to be enjoyed. Hasn\u2019t it been mercifully mentioned in nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 12-1 \u201cmAdhavan enbadhOr anbu thannai uRRirundhEn<\/em>\u201d (I had strong desire for mAdhavan)!<\/p>\n mAdhavan<\/strong> \u2013 it is said that it is only emperumAn<\/a> who is with pirAtti (mahAlakshmi<\/a>), who is apt to be attained.<\/p>\n manam padaiththu<\/strong> \u2013 It has been prayed for in jithanthE SlOkam 1-11 \u201cvigyAnam yadhidham prAptham yadhitham sthAnamArjitham, janmAntharEpi mE dhEva mAbhUth thasya parikshaya:<\/em>\u201d (Oh emperumAn! There should be no shortcoming in any birth to the knowledge and the deep belief that I have that you are the means for attaining you and you are the fruit of my attaining you). There is no need for emperumAn to create them (jIvAthmAs) now. Aren\u2019t they existing already!<\/p>\n maRRu avan pEr OdhuvadhE nAvinAl Oththu<\/strong> \u2013 Only reciting his divine names is the activity with the tongue. It is the activity for the tongue to keep reciting about the twin entities of emperumAn and pirAtti. It is said that this is the manthram (vEdhic hymn) to be pronounced. In harivamSam 183-8, rudhra says \u201charirEkas sadhAdhyEya:<\/em>\u201d (hari (emperumAn<\/a>) is the only one who is apt to be meditated upon always). In thirunedundhANdagam 4<\/a>, thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> says \u201cmandhiraththai mandhiraththAl maRavAdhu enRum vAzhudiyEl vAzhalAm mada nenjamE<\/em>\u201d (Oh humble heart! If we constantly remember manthram (emperumAn) with the manthram (hymn) without forgetting, we can live happily).<\/p>\n We shall take up the 39th<\/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> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai When asked as to what we should do to fulfil the purpose of taking this birth, AzhwAr says that only reciting the divine names of the consort of thirumagaL (mahAlakshmi) instead of claiming ownership of others\u2019 possessions will be the … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72,6,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-thiruvandhadhi","category-iyarpa","category-other"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vishnu-lakshmi.jpg\")
