<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that once a person realises that such emperumAn<\/a> is very affectionate towards us, the days before that realisation as well as days which come after such realisation would all be very beneficial, without any difference.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n senRa nAL sellAdha sengaNmAl engaLmAl<\/em> sengaNmAl engaLmAl enRa nAL \u2013 if there is a day when it is said \u201cthe lotus eyed kaNNan (krishNa) is very affectionate towards us\u201d sengaNmAl<\/strong> \u2013 since the lotus eyed emperumAn<\/a> is together with pirAtti<\/a> there is no hurdle to getting the benefit. AzhwAr<\/a> says that his tongue should henceforth be ready to enjoy him continuously. We can also construe this to mean that AzhwAr is telling us to be thankful to emperumAn whose quality is like this [to uplift the followers].<\/p>\n sengaNmAl<\/strong> \u2013 supreme kaNNan (krishNa) who is lotus eyed. The reason for being lotus eyed is his being the consort of pirAtti.<\/p>\n enRa nAL<\/strong> \u2013 if we get the knowledge one day that emperumAn<\/a> is affectionate towards us<\/p>\n (then)<\/p>\n senRa nAL sellAdha nAL ennALum nALAgum<\/strong> \u2013 the days which have passed and the days which are going to come, will all be good days only. AzhwAr<\/a> says in the same manner by which akrUra said in SrI vishNu purANam 5-17-3, after seeing krishNa \u201cadhyamE sapalam janma suprabhAthA cha mE niSA yadhunnidhrAbhjapathrAksham vishNOr dhrAkshAmyaham mukam<\/em>\u201d (Today itself I achieved the purpose of my birth. Today itself my night dawned into a good day. Did I not get to see the divine face of Sri vishNu who has eyes similar to the petals of blossomed lotus!). How can the days which were spent wastefully (without knowing about emperumAn) be good days? Since the earlier days were spent appropriately, in knowing about emperumAn<\/a> now, they are good days only. Weren\u2019t the past days spent in such a way as to say \u201csengaNmAl engaL mAl<\/em>\u201d today! Hence they are also good days only. The days to come will also be spent in experiencing emperumAn and hence they too will be good. The days to come will be spent in recalling the thoughts that we are having about emperumAn now!<\/p>\n ennALum<\/strong> \u2013 the days being spent now are also good days only since these are spent with thoughts about emperumAn. There is no shortcoming in this.<\/p>\n enRum maRvAdhE<\/strong> \u2013 only activity to be carried out now is to ensure that no fault accrues to this henceforth.In other words, no hurdle comes to this experience.<\/p>\n Or, if the text is<\/p>\n enRum iRavAdha endhai<\/strong> \u2013 the one who is forever, without any end, at the divine feet of that father. In SrIvishNusahasranAmAdhyAyam, it is said \u201cbhUthAnAm ya: avyaya: pithA<\/em>\u201d (one who is indestructible father to jIvAthmAs, the sentient souls).<\/p>\n endhai<\/strong> \u2013 one who is the leader. He is appropriate for us.<\/p>\n iNaiyadikkE<\/strong> \u2013 at the two divine feet which are equivalent to each other<\/p>\n ALAy<\/strong> \u2013 as a servitor<\/p>\n maRavAdhu<\/strong> \u2013 without forgetting<\/p>\n vAzhththuga en vAy<\/strong> \u2013 my mouth should keep praising.<\/p>\n maRavAdhu vAzhththuga<\/strong> \u2013 the following pramANams (authentic texts) show what will happen if we forget emperumAn<\/a> and if we think of him without forgetting: a) thaiththirIya upanishath Anandhavalli 6 \u201casannEva sa bhavathi asath brahmEthi vEdha chEth asthi brahmEthi chEth vEdha santhamEnam thathO vidhu:<\/em>\u201d (if he does not have knowledge about brahmam (emperumAn) he does not exist; if he has knowledge of brahmam, he is considered to exist by people only because of that reason. b) gAruda purANam 222-22 \u201cyanmuhUrtham kshaNam vApi vAsudhEvO na chinthyathE sA hAni thanmahachchidhram sA bhrAnthis sA cha vikriya<\/em>” (if in a muhUrththam (a time frame of 48 minutes) or in a moment, vAsudhEva is not thought of, that is destruction; that is great sorrow; that is bewilderment; that is disfigurement). c) thaiththirIya upanishath Anandhavalli 6,7 \u201cudharamantharam kuruthE abhayam prathistAm vindhathE athasO bhayangathO bhavathi<\/em>\u201d (when he attains emperumAn with devotion to be without fear for samsAram, he gets rid of fear of samsAram).
