There is none other than himself for comparison. Another entity can be compared to him only if there is another ISvaran! Hence, only he can be compared to himself.<\/p>\n than uruvE evvuruvum<\/strong> \u2013 bruhadhAraNyaka upanishath 5-7 says \u201cyasyAthmA SarIram yasya pruthivI SarIram<\/em>\u201d; SrI vishNu purANam 1-22-86 says \u201cthAni sarvANi thadhvapu:<\/em>\u201d\u2019 SrI vishNu purANam 1-22-38 says \u201cthath sarvam vai harEs thanu: <\/em>\u201c; SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 20-26 says \u201cjagathsarvam SarIram thE<\/em>\u201d. As mentioned by all these authentic sources, he has the entire universes as his physical form. The reason for having none to be compared with him is because he is the substrate for all other entities and he does not have a substrate for himself. In other words, all other entities are his physical body.<\/p>\n thAnE thava uruvum<\/strong> \u2013 all the higher level purushas (souls) such as brahmA et al are his attributes, since they attained their exalted physical forms after carrying out penance [directed at him] for a long time. mahAbhAratham sabhA parvam 14-8 says \u201cyugakOti sahasrANi vishNumArAdhya padhmabhU: punas thrailOkya dhAthruthvam prApthavAnithi SuSruma:<\/em>\u201d (we hear that brahmA carried out penance for thousands of yugams (ages) towards vishNu and worshipped him and attained the post of brahmA, the head of the three worlds). The same is true of rudhra too, as mentioned in mahAbhAratham SAnthi parvam 20-12 \u201cmahAdhEva: sarvamEdhE mahAthmA huthvAthmAnam dhEvadhEvO babhUva<\/em>\u201d (Sivan, the mahAdhEva (greatest among celestial entities) offered himself in the sarvarmEdha yAgam (a sacrificial ritual) and became the head of celestial entities). Thus, all these entities obtained exalted physical forms after carrying out penance over a long period of time towards emperumAn<\/a> and became part of his physical form.<\/p>\n thAragaiyum thAnE<\/strong> \u2013 stars are also his attributes. By mentioning brahmA and Siva in the previous verse and stars in this verse, AzhwAr<\/a> says that both sentient entities and insentient entities are his physical form, without any distinction.<\/p>\n thAnE erisudarum<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> is the glowing fire<\/p>\n mAl varaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 he is the great mountains [which sustain the world]<\/p>\n eN dhisaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 he is all the eight directions<\/p>\n aNdaththu<\/strong> \u2013 all the universes which are made of the five elements<\/p>\n iru sudarum Aya ivai<\/strong> \u2013 light emitting objects such as sun and moon in each of these universes are his attributes and are under his control.<\/p>\n iRai<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who is all these entities, is his own equivalent [and there is none to compare with him].<\/p>\n We will move on to the 39th<\/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 when asked whether the entity who had entered him wilfully, both inside and outside, is a simple person, says that he is the supreme being!
