<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s divine mind took a step back saying that if this is the position of the great nithyasUris with regard to emperumAn<\/a>, do I have the qualification to approach him? AzhwAr tells his divine mind \u201cyou need not fear like that. emperumAn is such a person of easy access that even animals approach him. Hence stay focussed on that\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pOdhaRindhu vAnarangaL pUnjunai pukku Angalarndha<\/em> vAnarangaL \u2013 monkeys pOdhu aRindhu<\/strong> \u2013 just as sages get rid of their rajO guNam (being passionate) and thamO guNam (being ignorant) and have only sAthvika guNam (being noble) knowing that it is brahma muhUrtham (the time span between 4 and 6 in the morning), the monkeys also become aware of the time and do not get sleep during this time frame, like EkAgis (solitary people).<\/p>\n vAnarangaL<\/strong> \u2013 monkeys worship at the thirumalai hills where nithyasUris come and worship with affection.<\/p>\n pUnjunai pukku<\/strong> \u2013 entering ponds which have flowers. Just as sages take a dip in the water unmindful of the chillness, the monkeys too have a bath.<\/p>\n Angu<\/strong> \u2013 in that place<\/p>\n alarndha pOdhu<\/strong> \u2013 beautiful flowers which are neither buds nor fully blossomed.<\/p>\n arindhu<\/strong> \u2013 plucking them, they will worship. They will approach emperumAn<\/a> with these.<\/p>\n uLLam pOdhu<\/strong> \u2013 Oh my mind! Step out! Do not step back in the time available.<\/p>\n What are we going to do? You also, like those monkeys, with beautiful flowers …..<\/p>\n maNi vEngadavan malaradikkE sella<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring that the flowers reach the beautiful divine feet of thiruvEngadavan who has the complexion of a blue gem<\/p>\n aNi<\/strong> \u2013 while doing that<\/p>\n vEngadavan pEr Ayndhu koNdu<\/strong> \u2013 meditating on the divine names of thiruvEngadavan, wondering at his simplicity, we shall ensure that we offer the flowers to his divine feet. We shall surrender to him with flowers.<\/p>\n If the text is taken as aNi vEngadavan <\/em>instead of maNi vEngadavan<\/em>, the meaning will change to: thiruvEngadamudaiyAn who is like a decorative jewel to the world. We can also interpret this as – even when going towards thiruvEngadavan’s flower-like divine feet, offer (offer such that they reach thirvEngadavan’s divine feet).<\/p>\n We shall take up the 73rd<\/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 AzhwAr\u2019s divine mind took a step back saying that if this is the position of the great nithyasUris with regard to emperumAn, do I have the qualification to approach him?
