Only brahmA reaped the benefit of the penance that he had undertaken. emperumAn<\/a> considered as penance the sweet activity of brahmA reciting emperumAn\u2019s divine names. nammAzhwAr<\/a> too has divinely mentioned in thiruvAymozhi 1-3-5<\/a> \u201cvaNakkudaith thavaneRi<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn considers the act of worshipping too as a penance)<\/p>\n tharaNi nivandhaLappa<\/strong> \u2013 the activity of emperumAn to help someone else (indhra) became the fruit of brahmA\u2019s penance.

AzhwAr says that while brahmA stayed in sathyalOkam, out of emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s reach, it fructified for him (did not emperumAn lift his divine foot up to the place where brahmA stayed!).<\/p>\n sivandha than kai anaiththum Arak kazhuvinAn<\/strong> \u2013 brahmA washed the divine feet such that his reddish hands became satisfied. He obtained the benefit of having had many hands.<\/p>\n kai anaiththum Ara<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that brahmA washed till the hands became satisfied just as one says that a person ate till his stomach became satisfied.<\/p>\n gangai nIr peydhu<\/strong> \u2013 dharma (righteousness) filled up brahmA\u2019s kamaNdala<\/em> (a pitcher used by ascetics) even as brahmA thought of washing the divine feet of emperumAn<\/a>. Just as ISvara samhithai says \u201cgruhIthvA dharmapAnIyam<\/em>\u201d (taking the water of righteousness), taking the water which formed out of dharma.<\/p>\n anaiththup pEr mozhindhu<\/strong> \u2013 by reciting all the divine names of emperumAn, brahmA attained the benefit of having been provided with a mouth.<\/p>\n pin<\/strong> \u2013 after carrying out such an act, brahmA attained the benefit of that penance. AzhwAr<\/a> says that it is only brahmA who reaped such a benefit.<\/p>\n We can also sequence the above by saying that righteousness transformed into gangA; then brahmA recited all the divine names of emperumAn<\/a>; then he washed the divine feet of emperumAn till his reddish hands felt satiated; then brahmA obtained the benefit of carrying out this penance.<\/p>\n We shall take up the 79th<\/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 exclaims that it was only nAnmugan (brahmA) who carried out penance like this and effortlessly attained the divine feet of emperumAn.
