<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that there is no limit to the tasks that he undertakes for the sake of his followers. Where did we see such a characteristic? He says he showed his anger, which he did not show on people such as bhIshma et al, on a worm in the water [reference here is to a crocodile] for the sake of an elephant and manifested his partiality towards his followers.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n sUzhndha thuzhAyalangal sOdhi maNi mudi mAl<\/em> sUzhndha \u2013 decorating all over his divine form sUzhndha thuzhAy alangal sOdhi maNi mudi mAl<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who has thuLasi garlands and crown which indicate that he is the lord of all the worlds<\/p>\n sUzhndha thuzhAy alangal<\/strong> \u2013 thuLasi garland which symbolises his primacy.<\/p>\n sOdhi maNi mudi<\/strong> \u2013 crown with resplendent gems<\/p>\n thAzhndha aruvith thadavarai vAy<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0 on the slopes of the mountain having many streams which flow towards the earth<\/p>\n Azhndha maNi nIrchchunai vaLarndha<\/strong> \u2013 growing in the waters of the reservoir having deep and clear water<\/p>\n mA mudhalai konRAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> killed a huge crocodile, not considering it just as a worm in the water. Did he not let go of the divine disc on the crocodile, which he had not done even when he was angry with people such as bhIshma et al! The affection that he has towards his followers is the reason for such an act.<\/p>\n aNi leela vaNNaththavan<\/strong> \u2013 he got the colour on his divine form only after killing his follower\u2019s enemy. Since he became very happy that he had got rid of his follower\u2019s enemy, he acquired the complexion of blue colour which removes the fatigue of those who see him.<\/p>\n aNi neela vaNNaththavan<\/strong> \u2013 by displaying such a complexion, he fulfilled the desire of gajEndhra (the elephant) who wanted to see him.<\/p>\n konRAn<\/strong> \u2013 by killing the enemy of his follower, he fulfilled his own longing. emperumAn<\/a>, who has the complexion of an ornament, donning the thuLasi garland and resplendent crown, killed the huge crocodile.<\/p>\n We will take up the 51st<\/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 there is no limit to the tasks that he undertakes for the sake of his followers.
