avathArikai<\/strong><\/h3>\n

AzhwAr<\/a> says that emperumAn<\/a> who has taken residence at thirumalai, close to us, will also fulfil the desires of those who desire other benefits.<\/p>\n

Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n

malai mugadu mEl vaiththu vAsugiyaich chuRRi<\/em>
\n thalai mugadu thAnoru kai paRRi alai mugattu<\/em>
\n aNdam pOy nIr theRippa anRu kadal kadaindhAn<\/em>
\n piNdamAy ninRa pirAn<\/em><\/p>\n

Word by Word Meanings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

piNdam Ay ninRa pirAn \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who is the material cause [for the creation of the worlds]
\nanRu \u2013 once upon a time
\nmugadu malai \u2013 the mountain mantharam<\/em> with peaks
\nmEl vaiththu \u2013 keeping it atop (himself in the form of tortoise)
\nvAsugaiyaich chuRRi \u2013 coiling the snake vAsugi (around that mountain as rope for churning)
\nthalai mugadu \u2013 the tallest peak [of mantharam]
\nthAn oru kai paRRi \u2013 holding it with one of his hands
\nalai mugattu nIr \u2013 the droplets of water on top of the waves
\naNdam pOy theRippa \u2013 to hit against the walls of the universe
\nkadal kadaindhAn \u2013 he churned the ocean<\/p>\n

vyAkyanam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

malai mugadu mEl vaiththu<\/strong> \u2013 keeping the mountain mantharam<\/em> with its tall peak on top of himself (in the form of kUrma<\/em>, tortoise)<\/p>\n

vAsugiyaich chuRRi<\/strong> \u2013 coiling the snake vAsugi around the middle of mantharam<\/em> as a rope for churning [the ocean].<\/p>\n

thalai mugadu thAn oru kai paRRi<\/strong> \u2013 just as he took the form of a tortoise and sat under the mountain so that it would not sink during the churning process, emperumAn<\/a> pressed his hand on top of the peak to support it so that the mountain will not get toppled over during the churning process.<\/p>\n

alai mugattu nIr theRippa anRu kadal kadaindhAn<\/strong> \u2013 he churned the ocean such vigor that the water droplets on top of the waves went all the way to the walls of the universe and banged against them.<\/p>\n

Who is the entity who churned the ocean such that the water from the waves hit against the walls of the universe?<\/p>\n

piNdamAy ninRa pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 the one who is the cause (for all these \u2013 the world, ocean, mountain etc). Just as clay, which is the previous state for pot, lid etc, is the cause for these products, emperumAn<\/a> is the cause for the worlds. mahOpanishath states \u201cEkO ha vai nArAyaNa AsIth<\/em>\u201d (only nArAyaNa was present before creation).<\/p>\n

pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 one who is the benefactor. When the worlds, which are the resultant factors, were destroyed and he alone remained, he is the benefactor who created these again so that they will reap the benefits. He is the one who is affectionate towards the worlds which he created.<\/p>\n

piNdamAy ninRa pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 should not the father, who sired the children, provide for their sustenance? He churned the oceans only for that and gave nectar [to celestial entities].<\/p>\n

pirAn<\/strong> \u2013 while he could have carried out the task of protecting the worlds through his mere sankalpa<\/em> (vow\/will\/thought), did he not churn the ocean, hurting his divine form in the bargain! AzhwAr<\/a> engages with this characteristic of emperumAn<\/a> saying \u201cHow is this simplicity!\u201d<\/p>\n

We will take up the 47th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/p>\n
