<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that it is impossible to speak about emperumAn<\/a> making an estimate of him. He then looks at his heart and asks it to involve itself in efforts to see him directly.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n vadivAr mudikOtti vAnavargaL nALum<\/em> nenjamE \u2013 Oh heart! vadivAr mudi kOtti<\/strong> \u2013 nithyasUris lower their beautiful crowns, bow down and worship emperumAn. AzhwAr<\/a> says that it should be like this only [everyone should worship emperumAn<\/a>].<\/p>\n mudi kOtti<\/strong> \u2013 nithyasUris bow down their crowns. Just as nammAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully mentioned in his thiruvAimozhi 8-4-5 \u201cpaNiyA amarar<\/em>\u201d nithyasUris, like rAvaNa who did not bow down to emperumAn, will not bow down to anyone other than emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n vAnavargaL<\/strong> \u2013 this term could refer to either nithyasUris or to celestial entities such as brahmA et al.<\/p>\n nALum<\/strong> \u2013 everyday. Just as we eat every day, nithyasUris will worship emperumAn<\/a> every day. Has it not been mentioned in rig ashtakam 1-2-7 \u201csadhA paSyanthi sUraya: <\/em>\u201d (nithyasUris constantly see emperumAn)!<\/p>\n kadiyAr malar thUvi<\/strong> \u2013 offering fragrant flowers at the divine feet of emperumAn<\/a>, without expecting any benefit<\/p>\n kANum<\/strong> \u2013 as the benefit of offering such flowers, they will be able to see emperumAn. They will engage all their sensory perceptions with emperumAn.<\/p>\n padiyAnai<\/strong> \u2013 having divine form. The word padi<\/em> would refer to either his divine form or his divine characteristics.<\/p>\n semmiayAl uL urugi<\/strong> \u2013 melting with the heart, realising in a proper way that emperumAn<\/a> is the lord and we are servitors.<\/p>\n sevvanE nenjamE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh heart! In the way to attain him. This implies having emperumAn as the means for attaining him. Even if you engage in bhakthi<\/em> (devotion) instead of trying to see him through your efforts, seeing him when he manifests himself on his own.<\/p>\n meymmaiyE kANa virumbu<\/strong> \u2013 instead of trying to see only one quality of his and withdrawing, make an effort to see him fully! Have desire in this instead of looking for other benefits. In other words, implying that he is the end goal (benefit). AzhwAr<\/a> is already enjoying the dharSan of emperumAn<\/a>. What is meant by asking his heart to desire to see him? Since it has seen emperumAn once, it should not think that it is enough; also, since he is seeing emperumAn in this world only and since he cannot wait patiently to attain paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) he is saying this way.<\/p>\n We will take up the 23rd<\/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 In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr said that it is impossible to speak about emperumAn making an estimate of him.
