<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n When told that we should attain emperumAn<\/a> who has such greatness, we told AzhwAr<\/a> \u201cwe can hold on to him only if we see him\u201d. AzhwAr responds saying that he has taken residence in thirumalai so that we can see him.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n theLindha silAdhalaththin mEl irundha mandhi<\/em> Word by Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n theLindha \u2013 being clear theLindha silAdhalaththin mEl irundha mandhi<\/strong> \u2013 female monkey sitting on a black rock which appeared pure like a crystal. These monkeys are much like SrI rAma and sIthAppirAtti who were residing in the divine chithrakUtam during their time of dwelling in forest.<\/p>\n silAdhalaththin mEl irundha<\/strong> \u2013 this implies that the female monkey was sitting on the black rock already.<\/p>\n irundha<\/strong> \u2013 the female monkey was sitting on the rock, manifesting its greatness. This monkey is sitting on the rock just like sIthAppirAtti was sitting on a rock on the banks of river gOdhAvari. Just as SrI rAma told lakshmaNa as in SrI rAmAyaNam AraNya kANdam 63-12 \u201casminmayA sArdhamuthAraSeelA SilAthalE pUrvamupOpavishtA, kAnthasmithA lakshmaNa jAthahAsA thvAmAha sIthA bahuvAkyajAtham<\/em>\u201d (Oh lakshmaNa! sIthA, who has a deep nature and a beautiful smile, was sitting close to me on this rock earlier and said many words to you with a banter), this monkey is also doing the same.<\/p>\n aLindha kaduvanaiyE nOkki<\/strong> \u2013 looking at the male monkey, which was very affectionate towards the female monkey and expecting the next command from the female monkey.<\/p>\n aLindha<\/strong> \u2013 just like servitors who look for signs from knitting of the brow. This implies an expectation from the male monkey as to when the female monkey is going to order it to carry out a specific task.<\/p>\n aLindha kaduvan<\/strong> \u2013 don\u2019t love quarrels take place due to excessive affection!<\/p>\n kaduvanaiyE nOkki<\/strong> \u2013 when there is a love quarrel, without the need for a mediator, the female monkey directly talks to the male. When there was a love quarrel between SrI rAma and sIthA, lakshmaNa was present to be a mediator but here there is none like that.<\/p>\n nOkki<\/strong> \u2013 by its mere look, the female monkey gives out everything that it wanted to covey.<\/p>\n viLangiya veN madhiyam thA ennum<\/strong> \u2013 the female monkey wants the male to bring the brightly shining moon. Just as asking for a mirror to see its face, it is asking for the moon. Since thirumalai hills are taller than the lunar region, the other side of moon is visible to the female monkey. Since there is no fault on the other side of moon, it is asking the male monkey to give the faultless moon.<\/p>\n thA ennum<\/strong> \u2013 since the female monkey is sitting on top of the rock and the male monkey below, it is stretching its hand to offer it the moon.<\/p>\n vEngadamE<\/strong> \u2013 thiruvEngadam hills like this<\/p>\n mEl oru nAL maN madhiyil koNdu ugandhAn vAzhvu<\/strong> \u2013 this is the place which is considered as his wealth by emperumAn<\/a>, who by his cleverness, lowered himself in the presence of mahAbali and obtained the earth by asking for alms from him, and became very delighted.<\/p>\n maN madhiyil koNdu ugnadhAn<\/strong> \u2013 by having the knowledge that (mahAbali) will give if asked for as alms, emperumAn asked for as alms.<\/p>\n ugandhAn<\/strong> \u2013 he was delighted as if he had got something which was not his.<\/p>\n vAzhvu<\/strong> \u2013 the place of residence. It can also be considered as his wealth.<\/p>\n maN madhiyil koNdu<\/strong> \u2013 it appears that when the monkey asked for moon, AzhwAr<\/a> was reminded of vAmana asking for three steps of land!<\/p>\n We will consider the 59th<\/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 When told that we should attain emperumAn who has such greatness, we told AzhwAr \u201cwe can hold on to him only if we see him\u201d.
