<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> had spoken ill of those who are ignorant of matters relating to emperumAn<\/a> by calling them as \u201cperumAnai EththAtha pEygAL<\/em>\u201d (the foolish people who do not praise emperumAn). Some people asked him \u201cYou are full of sathva guNa (purely good qualities). This being the case, could you use lowly words such as pEy (foolish people) or nAy (dog) and talk ill of others? Don\u2019t elders say that we should avoid abusing others?\u201d to which AzhwAr responds in this pAsuram saying \u201cIt is not out of taste in abuse that I spoke that way. Those who do not involve themselves with matters relating to emperumAn not only destroy themselves but are fools who destroy the basic nature of others too. If those who I had abused as fools become followers of emperumAn, they would become acceptable people to me too!\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n kadhaip poruLdhAn kaNNan thiruvayiRRinuLLa<\/em> kadhaip poruLdhAn \u2013 smruthi, ithihAsa, purAnas <\/em>(narratives which are quoted as authentic texts) kadhaipporuLdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 ithihAsas (epics)and purAnas (old, yet remaining fresh, treatises) which have narration as the primary focus and smruthis (explanatory texts for vEdhas) which have philosophy as the primary focus. In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> had mentioned about karumAyam pEsil kadhai <\/em>(if one were to talk about the sufferings of people in their mothers\u2019 wombs, it would be as expansive as mahAbhAratha), hence he is referring to it here.<\/p>\n kadhaipporuLdhAn kaNNan thiruvayiRRinuLLa<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that the ithihAsas and purANas which talk about our karumAyam<\/em> (what we endure in our mothers\u2019 wombs) are dependent on emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s vow. The implied meaning is that only emperumAn is capable of removing them.<\/p>\n thiruvayiRRinuLLa<\/strong> \u2013 the term vayIru<\/em> actually refers to the inner seat of mind and thus to its activity of sankalpa<\/em> or vow. From authentic sources such as (1) ALavandhAr\u2019s chathu:SlOkI\u00a0 \u201caravindha lOchanamana: kAnthA<\/em>\u201d (he is dear to the entity with lotus-like eyes); (2) SrI rAmAyaNam sundhara kANdam SlOkam \u201casyA dhEvyA manasthanmin thasyas chAsyAm prathishtitham<\/em>\u201d (this dhEvi\u2019s mind is established in his (emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s) divine mind, and his divine mind is fixed in hers); (3) thiruvAimozhi 10-3-9 \u201cundhan thiruvuLLam idarkedundhORum<\/em>\u201d (whenever your divine mind is pleased), it is clear that emperumAn has an aprAkrutha manas<\/em> (mind, not made of primordial matter). pramANams<\/em> (authentic sources of information) such as \u201caprANO hyamanA:<\/em>\u201d (lifeless; mindless), \u201cpaSyathyachakshu: ya SruNOthyakarNa:<\/em>\u201d (even though he is without eyes, he sees; even though he is without ears, he hears) affirm that emperumAn does not have primordial mind, eyes, ears etc and that he does not have to see with eyes, does not have to hear with ears and does not have to carry out a vow with his mind. Thus the term vayiRu<\/em> would refer to his mind and to its activity of carrying out sankalpa.<\/em><\/p>\n kadhaipporuL …… pOdhu pOkkinRi<\/strong> \u2013 vyAkyAthA appiLLai<\/a> construed this to mean that all the jIvAthmAs<\/a> who are referred to in ithihAsas and purANas sustain their existence every moment, through emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s sankalpa<\/em>.<\/p>\n udhaippaLavu pOdhupOkkinRi vAyndha guNaththup padAdhadhu vadhaipporuLdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 instead of continuously involving with the amazing qualities of emperumAn, being engaged with other matters is considered as causing hurt to the world. How can such people be called other than as pEygAL<\/em> (ignorant fools)? If one were to ask whether calling such people as fools is not abusing others, all that one can say is that such people, apart from losing their existence (asannEva bhavathi<\/em>), will make those who follow them also as non-existing. Thus they will be the leaders of hurting others.<\/p>\n udhaippaLavu …. vadhaipporuLdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 it will be termed as hurting others if they do not involve with emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s matters even for a moment.

When he has qualities which are the exact opposite of lowliness, is it proper not to attain his divine feet?<\/p>\n adaiminO<\/strong> \u2013 implied meaning here is that those who were called as pEygAL<\/em> would be referred to by a dignified name if they become favourable to emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n We will take up the 33rd<\/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 spoken ill of those who are ignorant of matters relating to emperumAn by calling them as \u201cperumAnai EththAtha pEygAL\u201d (the foolish people who do not praise emperumAn).
