<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n For those who prayed to him, is he carrying out tasks without transforming himself? AzhwAr<\/a> says that he carries out their tasks, transforming himself. For those who have got rid of their fear of worldly life, isn\u2019t talking about such activities of emperumAn<\/a> their pastime? He is asking emperumAn to state such activities himself.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n munnulagam uNdumizhndhAykku avvulagam IradiyAl<\/em> mun \u2013 at an earlier point of time mun ulagam uNdu umizhndhAykku<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says \u201cfor you who had carried out activities such as swallowing the worlds and spitting them out\u201d, it is not a great act (measuring the worlds).<\/p>\n avvulagam IradiyAl pin aLandhu kOdal peridhonRE<\/strong> \u2013 this world was ready to be moulded as per your wish. This world had suffered just like cotton does when it undergoes twelve transformations from beginning to end such as (1) removing the seed (2) beating (3) curling (4) forming thread (5) making warp and weft (6) weaving (7) folding (8) selling (9) washing (10) drying (11) wearing (12) tearing.\u00a0 Did you think that it was a great act when you measured this world with your two divine feet after receiving it as alms when you asked for three steps of land? Did you not carry out that activity out of love for the world!<\/p>\n ennE<\/strong> \u2013 How amazing is this! AzhwAr<\/a> says this with the same involvement as was exhibited by nammAzhwAr<\/a> when he said as in thiruvAimozhi 1-3-1<\/a> \u201ceththiRam<\/em>\u201d (how amazing!). emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s simplicity is causing distress to AzhwAr. Is there any congruence between your greatness and this lowly activity of asking for alms?<\/p>\n thirumAlE sengaN nediyAnE<\/strong> \u2013 did you carry out this activity realising who you are? Didn\u2019t you, the consort of mahAlakshmi who is the presiding deity for all wealth in this world, ask for alms! Didn’t you, having reddish eyes due to the happiness of being her consort, ask for alms!<\/p>\n sengaN<\/strong> \u2013 Just as chAdhOgya upanishath says \u201ckapyAsam puNdarIkamEvamakshiNI<\/em>\u201d (having eyes like lotus just blossomed by sun), you, who are having lotus like eyes, asked for alms.<\/p>\n nediyAnE<\/strong> \u2013 one who has immeasurable greatness! AzhwAr<\/a> is asking him whether he asked for alms because of any fault in his greatness. He is asking whether he carried out such great activities because of his greatness.<\/p>\n engaL perumAnE nI idhanaip pEsu<\/strong> \u2013 don\u2019t you, who carried out such tasks for indhra et al who desire other benefits, have to carry out such tasks for people like us too who do not desire any benefit other than you? Hence you have to say this.<\/p>\n nI idahnaip pEsu<\/strong> \u2013 are you only carrying out these activities? Could you also not speak about these? Even as AzhwAr<\/a> is asking him these questions, emperumAn<\/a> is quite happy listening to him. AzhwAr wants to spend his time, listening to emperumAn.<\/p>\n We will take up the 21st<\/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 For those who prayed to him, is he carrying out tasks without transforming himself?
