<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Since AzhwAr<\/a> who thought of attaining emperumAn<\/a> in the proper way, found that the way was very nice, tells his heart mercifully that more than getting the experience born out of attaining emperumAn, the\u00a0 experience obtained in observing the activity for attaining him is in itself sufficient for him.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n uRum kaNdAy nannenjE uththaman naRpAdham<\/em> nannenjE \u2013 Oh good heart! (those divine feet) uRum kaNdAy<\/strong> \u2013 the word uRudhum<\/em> has been shortened as uRum<\/em>, throughout this verse. We can construe the meaning for this as taking the materials mentioned in the previous pAsuram (76) and attaining him. Alternatively, this could be construed as AzhwAr<\/a> telling his heart to think of this (being explained in subsequent words) as a great act, instead of treating it similar to other benefits.<\/p>\n uRum kaNdAy<\/strong> \u2013 for one who has been used to looking for lowly benefits, attaining the divine feet of emperumAn<\/a> is the most apt act [AzhwAr<\/a> tells his heart]. You know very well how we had suffered in lowly things from time immemorial.<\/p>\n nannenjE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh heart, who is suitable for me! Alternatively, it can be taken as the heart which comes ahead of AzhwAr, with excitement, with lot of involvement in this matter.<\/p>\n uththaman<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who considers the form, that he takes to protect us, as being for his own benefit. Even during the time when we shunned him, he came behind us.<\/p>\n naRpAdham<\/strong> \u2013 His divine feet are superior to him to the same extent by which he is superior to us. pEyAzhwAr<\/a>, in his mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 88 has mercifully stated \u201cpodhu ninRa ponnangazhal<\/em>\u201d (his divine, golden, beautiful feet are there for all of us in common). As prayed by kALiyan (the serpent which troubled people and cattle in yamunA nadhi during krishNa\u2019s time in gOkulam), as mentioned in SrI vishNu purANam 5-7-10 \u201csOham thE dhEvadhEvESa nArchanAthau sthuthau na cha sAmarthyavAn krupAmAthra manOvruththi: prasIdha mE<\/em>\u201d (Oh Lord of dhEvas! I am not proficient in praising and worshipping you. For such a person as I am, only you have to shower mercy on me and grace me with your divine mind), the divine feet come on their own and rest on our heads.<\/p>\n uththaman naRpAdham uRum kaNdAy oNkamalam thannAl<\/strong> \u2013 one can attain his divine feet with a beautiful lotus flower. Thus we do not have to carry out any great deed. There is no need to look for an aprAkrutha<\/em> (extraordinary) flower which is apt for him. A normal lotus flower will do.<\/p>\n uRum kaNdAy Eththip paNindhu avan pEr IraigyURu eppozhudhum sARRi uraiththal thavam<\/strong> \u2013 the penance of worshipping him and reciting his thousand divine names always is apt. This implies that more than attaining him, the activity undertaken to attain him is very sweet. The period spent in trying to attain purushArtham<\/em> (the benefit) is sweeter than the period when we attain purushArtham.<\/em> AzhwAr<\/a> tells his heart to see for itself the benefit of reciting emperumAn\u2019s divine names which is similar to carrying out penance. Would reciting his divine names be a penance? Since emperumAn<\/a> considers this as penance, in empeurmAn\u2019s opinion this will be taken as carrying out penance.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 78th<\/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 Since AzhwAr who thought of attaining emperumAn in the proper way, found that the way was very nice, tells his heart mercifully that more than getting the experience born out of attaining emperumAn, the\u00a0 experience obtained in observing the activity … 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],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-thiruvandhadhi","category-iyarpa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19227","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=19227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19227\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/vishnu-and-naradha-3.jpg\")
