<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a>, to the query whether we should create some qualification for ourselves to attain him, says that these are not necessary. He says, isn\u2019t he the one who can be attained even by animals! Moreover, there are no rules and regulations for attaining him. It should be considered that whatever is done to attain him has been done following the rule. AzhwAr says that emperumAn<\/a> considers whatever has been done by those who are favourable to him, as activities which are done in order to attain him.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pugumadhaththAl vAy pUsik kIzh thAzhndhu aruvi<\/em> kaLiRu \u2013 the elephant (in thirumalai) pugu madhaththAl vAy pUsi<\/strong> \u2013 with the exulting fluid which is coming out of its forehead, neck, cheeks etc<\/p>\n vAy pUsi<\/strong> \u2013 normally the exulting fluid which is in excess will go into the mouth of the elephant. This becomes the Achamanam<\/em> (a purification process) which the elephant follows.<\/p>\n kIzhththAzhndhu aruvi ugumadhaththAl kAl kazhuvi<\/strong> \u2013 cleaning its feet with the exultation fluid which flows down from its forehead<\/p>\n kaiyAl migu madhaththEn viNda malar koNdu<\/strong> \u2013 plucking flowers from ponds with vanity. This is the implement for thiruvArAdhanam<\/em> [divine method of worship]<\/a> which the elephant does. Using flowers which have honey which can create exultation. Since another meaning for madham<\/em> is sweet fragrance, we can construe the meaning for this verse as \u2013 taking flowers which have sweet fragrance and honey.<\/p>\n viRal vEngadavanaiyE<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that emperumAn<\/a> is so powerful that he grants knowledge to even animals to worship him. Merely residing at thirumalai hills will enable one to attain emperumAn, an activity which is the result of knowledge.<\/p>\n vEngadavanaiyE<\/strong> \u2013 is the elephant worshipping SrIvaikuNtanAthan? Is it not worshipping thiruvEngavan!<\/p>\n kaNdu vaNangum kaliRu<\/strong> \u2013 isn\u2019t this elephant too attaining emperumAn<\/a> just like another elephant (gajEndhran) which attained him!<\/p>\n kaLiRu<\/strong> \u2013 this implies that for those attaining emperumAn, being born in a great lineage, activities, natural characteristics etc are not of material value.<\/p>\n We will take up the 71st<\/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, to the query whether we should create some qualification for ourselves to attain him, says that these are not necessary.
