<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n When some people asked AzhwAr<\/a> \u201cYou say that you had seen the divine feet of emperumAn<\/a> which had not been seen by even Siva. Where did you see them?\u201d\u00a0 AzhwAr responds saying \u201cDid I see only his divine feet? I am seeing all the amazing activities that he undertook for the sake of his followers, now itself, inside my heart where he has entered\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n idhuvilangai Idazhiyakkattiya sEthu<\/em> ilangai \u2013 the country of lankA idhu ilangai Idazhiyak kattiya sEthu<\/strong> \u2013 the bridge which emperumAn<\/a> [as SrI rAma] built across the ocean in order to ruin lankA so that it lost its pristine structure, is appearing right in front of my eyes now.<\/p>\n idhu ilangai Idazhiyak kattiya sEthu<\/strong> \u2013 in the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that he saw the divine feet of emperumAn. In this pAsuram he talks of the bridge where emperumAn\u2019s divine feet left their prints.<\/p>\n Idazhiyak kattiya<\/strong> \u2013 the ocean was a natural protective guard for lankA. Even as the bridge was being built, it appeared that lankA was lost. Even as dhEvas (celestial entities) such as indhra et al heard about the bridge, their hearts melted.<\/p>\n idhu vilangu vALiyai vIzhththadhuvum<\/strong> \u2013 the incident in which the animal vAli was killed with an arrow is also appearing in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n vilangu vAliyai<\/strong> \u2013 he was an animal not only by birth but through his activities too. The opinion here is that the action of SrI rAma in killing vAli while hiding himself cannot be faulted. Has it not been mentioned mercifully by SrI rAma himself in SrIrAmAyaNam \u201cvAgurAbiScha pASaiScha gUdaiScha vividhair narA:<\/em> I prathichchannAScha <\/em>\u00a0dhruSyAScha gruhNanthi subahUn mrugAn <\/em>II\u201d (human beings catch animals through nets, ropes, various devious methods, by hiding themselves and by being in front of them)?<\/p>\n ilangai thAn odunga vil nudangath thaNthAr rAvaNanai eydhAn idhu<\/strong> \u2013 the activity of SrI rAma by which he created stress for lankA, drew his bow and made rAvaNa to bend his back.<\/p>\n ilangai thAn odunga<\/strong> \u2013 I can see lankA being destroyed right in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n vil nudanga<\/strong> \u2013 I can see [SrI rAma] drawing his bow [to shoot the arrows]<\/p>\n thaN thAr … eydhAn idhu<\/strong> \u2013 I can also see SrI rAma shooting arrows at rAvaNa such that the demon, who is donning a cool, comfortable garland, who is vain, and who will not bow down to anyone, is shrinking.<\/p>\n idhu idhu idhu ugappu<\/strong> –\u00a0 these activities, which are appearing in front of my eyes, are those which were engaged in by emperumAn<\/a>, for the sake of his followers.<\/p>\n Since these activities are running now in his heart, AzhwAr<\/a> is referring to them as idhu, idhu, idhu<\/em>.<\/p>\n We will now move on to the 29th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/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 some people asked AzhwAr \u201cYou say that you had seen the divine feet of emperumAn which had not been seen by even Siva.
