Alternatively we can rearrange the words such that they become marupposigai yALi<\/em> which will mean a yALi for which breaking the tusks (of elephants) is a natural quality.<\/p>\n piLiRi vizhak konRu ninRu adhirum<\/strong> \u2013 even after killing the elephant such that the elephant falls down crying out, the yALi will stand there and roar in anger so that the smaller animals will shiver in fear. It is roaring since it has defeated the elephant.<\/p>\n mEnAL kuzhak kanRu koNdu eRindhAn kunRu<\/strong> \u2013 it (thiruvEngadam) is the hill of that supreme being who threw a calf at a wood apple fruit. It is the place where emperumAn<\/a>, who is happy that he has destroyed those for whom enmity is a nature, resides. Isn\u2019t his ignorance much similar to that of the elephant (just as the elephant mistook cloud for an elephant, emperumAn too mistook a demon for wood apple fruit)! Since it has been mentioned that yALi killed an elephant in thirumalai, would all those animals living there trouble one another? As per the tenets of the ritual agnishOmIyam<\/em>, the goat which is sacrificed in that ritual attains the high place of svargam<\/em>. Just as what had been done to the goat will not come under the classification of torture, due to the greatness of thirumalai hills, the elephant killed (by the yALi) would attain SrIvaikuNtam and hence this too will not be a torture.<\/p>\n We will take up the 72nd<\/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 reminisces about the events happening at thiruvEngadam where emperumAn, who is so simple that even animals can attain him, resides.
