Introduction for this pAsuram<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Highlights from thirukkurukaippirAn piLLAn<\/a>‘s introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

nammAzhwAr<\/a> enjoys the most glorious bhagavAn<\/a> fully and out of great devotion caused by such experience, reveals his experience to others.<\/p>\n

Highlights from nanjIyar<\/a>‘s introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

bhagavAn<\/a> srIman nArAyaNan<\/a> who is opposite to all defects and the abode of all auspicious qualities, being the master of nithyasUris (in paramapadham), out of his unconditional grace, blessed nammAzhwAr<\/a> with pristine knowledge and devotion towards him. Being blessed, nammAzhwAr<\/a> starts engaging in service of such bhagavAn<\/a>. Thus, at the beginning of the prabandham itself, (auspicious aspects such as ) the object of glorification and reverential bowing down are highlighted.<\/p>\n

Highlights from vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar<\/a>‘s introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this pAsuram, the summary of the first padhigam (decad) is explained. In this first pAsuram, the existence of unlimited auspicious qualities, unconditional mercy, controlling the nithyasUris and having eternal auspicious forms – all of which reveal the supremacy of emperumAn,<\/a>\u00a0are revealed. Having said so, nammAzhwAr<\/a> directs his heart to always serve such emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

nammAzhwAr<\/a> first highlights the 3 main favours which are done by emperumAn<\/a> towards him. First emperumAn<\/a> favoured AzhwAr<\/a> by showing his true nature of being filled with auspicious qualities. Then, even though AzhwAr<\/a> did not have anything on his side,\u00a0 emperumAn<\/a> blessed him with divine knowledge and devotion towards him out of his causeless mercy. Then he showed that he is the master of nithyasUris. Being favoured like this, AzhwAr<\/a> directs his heart to come and serve him eternally.

AzhwAr<\/a> asks his heart to bow down to bhagavAn<\/a> to be uplifted. When a river starts flooding nearby fields, the trees which stay still will be uprooted while the plants etc., which bend and tackle the flood, will survive. In the same way, after understanding the glories of bhagavAn<\/a>, if one bows down in front of him, he will be uplifted.<\/p>\n

Just like lakshmaNa said he is overwhelmed with srI rAma’s auspicious qualities and became a servant to him, AzhwAr<\/a> also reveals his attachment towards emperumAn<\/a> and thus becoming a servant to him.<\/p>\n

Since, bhagavAn<\/a> showed his auspicious qualities to AzhwAr<\/a> to win him, over\u00a0AzhwAr<\/a> too engages in glorifiying bhagavAn<\/a>‘s auspicious qualities right in the beginning.<\/p>\n

Oh my mind! Bow down with folded hands at the lotus feet of emperumAn<\/a> and be uplifted. emperumAn<\/a> is the famous one highlighted in authentic scriptures\u00a0 as one who has unexplainable greatness which makes all other greatness non-existing. He is the one who blessed me true knowledge and devotion, out of his unconditional grace that dispelled my ignorance completely. He is the indisputable master of the nithyasUris who have no defects such as forgetful nature etc.<\/p>\n

In the first line, “nalam<\/em>” indicates the unlimited bliss or those auspicious qualities which lead to the unlimited bliss of bhagavAn<\/a> . In the second line, “nalam<\/em>” indicates devotional friendship with bhagavAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each line ending with “avan” in the end is joined with the last line and explained as well. i.e., Oh mind! bow down at the lotus feet of the one who is filled with auspicious qualities and be uplifted.\u00a0Oh mind! bow down at the one lotus feet of the who bestowed me true knowledge and devotion and be uplifted. Oh mind! bow down at the one lotus feet of the who is the master of nithyasUris and be uplifted.<\/p>\n

Also, this pAsuram reveals the essence of thirumanthram. praNavam which reveals the master-servant relationship between paramAthmA<\/a> and jIvAthmA<\/a> is explained in first line as it explains bhagavAn<\/a> being supreme to everyone, nama: – he being upAyam is explained by the second line as it explains bhagavAn<\/a> bestowing true knowledge\/devotion to AzhwAr<\/a> and finally nArAyaNAya is explained in the 3rd and 4th lines – the ultimate goal of paramapadham (3rd line) and kainkaryam (4th line).<\/p>\n
