<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> had mercifully mentioned that it is emperumAn<\/a> who removes all his sorrows. In this pAsuram he says \u201cIs it only for me that he removes sorrows? Even for brahmA, rudhra et al who you people consider as deities, it is only he who removes the sorrows; attain him\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n mEl nAnmugan aranaiyitta vidu sAbam<\/em> mEl \u2013 once upon a time (such) (experienced by you people) mEl nAnmugan aranai itta vidu sAbam<\/strong> \u2013 the curse which the father brahmA gave his son rudhra when rudhra plucked out one of brahmA\u2019s heads<\/p>\n thAn nArANanozhiththAn thAragaiyuL<\/strong> \u2013 it was nArAyaNa who got rid of that curse in such a way that all the people on earth knew about it. It is pertinent here to reminisce the SlOkam in mAthsya purANam:<\/p>\n dhEvIm prathi rudhra: thatha: krOdha parIthEna samrakthanayanEna cha I<\/em> brahmA \u2013 yasmAdhanaparAdhasya Siraschithan thvayA mama I<\/em> rudhra: brahmahAkulithO bhUthvA charam thIrthdhAni bhUthalE I<\/em> thathra nArAyaNaS SrImAn mayA bhikshAm prayAchitha: I<\/em> vishNu prasAdhAth suSrONi! kapAlam thathsahasradhA I<\/em> (rudhran informing dhEvi \u2013 \u2018later the head of that brahmA was plucked by me, who has a lot of anger and reddish eyes, with a corner of my left thumb nail. brahmA cursed me saying \u201cSince my faultless head was severed by you, you will roam around due to my curse as a kapAli (one who is with a skull). Oh dhevi! As one who caused hurt to a brAhmaNa, and with saddened heart, I went to many holy waters \u00a0and then I went to himAlayas. There, I begged SrIman nArAyaNa to rid me of my curse. Then, a part of his body was scratched by him with his fingernail and from that blood poured out like flood waters. … Oh supreme beauty! With the mercy of vishNu, that skull broke into a thousand pieces and disappeared like wealth that one obtained in his dream)\u201d<\/p>\n thAragai<\/strong> \u2013 derived from the root \u201cdhArathIthi dhArakA<\/em>\u201d (earth is called as dhArakA since it bears everything), this refers to earth.<\/p>\n thAragaiyuL<\/strong> \u2013 he [emperumAn<\/a>] got rid [of the curse]\u00a0 in such a way that everyone on earth knew about it. He removed the curse so that rudhra got the famous names of kapAli<\/em> and bikshANda<\/em> and emperumAn got the famous name harapApahara<\/em> (one who removed the sin of rudhra).<\/p>\n vAnOr perumAnai<\/strong> \u2013 son stood like a sinner since he severed the father\u2019s head; father stood sorrowfully having lost his head; emperumAn<\/a> rid the sorrows of both. nithyasUris, who saw this happening, ceded themselves to emperumAn. Alternatively, vAnOr<\/em> would refer to the celestial entities who on seeing their leaders brahmA and rudhra being rid of their sorrows, affirmed that emperumAn is the supreme being.<\/p>\n EththAdha pEygAL<\/strong> \u2013 Oh foolish people who do not praise such a distinguished entity!<\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says next as to what will befall such foolish persons since they do not praise emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n piRakkum karumAyam pEsil kadhai<\/strong> \u2013 if one were to talk about the sufferings that you people, who do not praise emperumAn, have to endure in the wombs ( in all these births) it will be as expansive as mahAbhAratha narrative.<\/p>\n We will take up the 32nd<\/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 In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had mercifully mentioned that it is emperumAn who removes all his sorrows.
