<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Thinking of the simplicity that emperumAn<\/a> displayed towards him, AzhwAr<\/a> mercifully mentions in this pAsuram as to how emperumAn displayed that quality towards prahlAdha. He tells his heart to praise and worship at the divine feet of such emperumAn who carries out favours like this.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pugundhu ilangum andhip pozhudhaththu ariyAy<\/em> andhi pugundhu \u2013 with dusk setting pugundhu ilangum andhip pozhudhaththu<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> mentions about the setting in of dusk. Since sun sets at that time, it will be reddish in colour.<\/p>\n andhip pozhudhaththu<\/strong> \u2013 during evening time, the strength of demons will increase many fold. iraNiyan had taken a boon that he should not be killed during day time or night time. He did not take a boon for not being killed at dusk. Hence emperumAn<\/a> chose that time to kill him.<\/p>\n ariyAy<\/strong> \u2013 iraNiyan had taken a boon that he should not be killed by dhEvas<\/em> (celestial entities) or manushyas<\/em> (humans) . Hence emperumAn took the form of narasimha<\/em>, a form that iraNiyan did not think had the capability to kill him and hence did not ask a boon for. If we rearrange the words of the verse to get andhippozhudhaththu pugundhu ilangum ariyAy<\/em> the meaning would change to \u2013 entering during dusk in the form of a radiant narasimha.<\/p>\n igazhndha iraNiyadhu Agam<\/strong> \u2013 the body of iraNiyan, who constantly was abusing emperumAn<\/a> as well as prahlAdha,\u00a0 which had grown out of the strength from boons granted by celestial entities.<\/p>\n sugirndhu engum sindhap piLandha<\/strong> \u2013 apart from killing iraNiyan who is the enemy of follower prahlAdha, AzhwAr<\/a> also mentions the fury that emperumAn had when he killed iraNiyan.<\/p>\n sugirndhu<\/strong> \u2013 cutting into many pieces<\/p>\n engum sindhap piLandha<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> tore iraNiyan\u2019s body and strew them all over the place.<\/p>\n thirumAl<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> is together with pirAtti<\/a> who is the reason for his carrying out beneficial activities for his followers. The reason for his having partiality towards his followers is pirAtti. AzhwAr<\/a> says this so that we praise her along with praising emperumAn.<\/p>\n thiruvadiyE<\/strong> \u2013 the divine feet of emperumAn who is the consort of pirAtti.<\/p>\n vandhiththu<\/strong> \u2013 bowing down to him<\/p>\n en nenjamE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh my heart which feels happy when thinking of him!<\/p>\n vAzhththu<\/strong> \u2013 praise him. Bowing down to and praising are to be carried out to him who is together with thirumagaL<\/em> (pirAtti<\/a>). AzhwAr<\/a> says that the enemies of emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s followers who desire the union of the divine couple, will suffer the fate of irAniyan.<\/p>\n We will take up the 96th<\/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 Thinking of the simplicity that emperumAn displayed towards him, AzhwAr mercifully mentions in this pAsuram as to how emperumAn displayed that quality towards prahlAdha.
