<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> was asked \u201cYou say that it is only because everything is dependent on sarvESvaran<\/a>\u2019s sankalpa<\/em> (vow of emperumAn<\/a>) that he is the causative factor for all. But in vEdhas prevalent in samsAram, it is very well known that brahmA is the creator, rudhra is the destroyer and various other deities are carrying out very important tasks. Will they not be causative entities?\u201d to which he says in this pAsuram \u201cif emperumAn is not their antharyAmi<\/em> (indwelling soul) all their greatness will disappear without a trace\u201d. Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n agaippil manisarai ARu samayam<\/em> porukadalneer vaNNan \u2013 sarvESvaran<\/a> who has the complexion of ocean water with waves lapping agaippil manisarai<\/strong> \u2013 jIvAthmAs (sentient entities) like you, with low level of knowledge, who do not understand how much ever is instructed. agaippu \u2013 <\/strong><\/em>rising; greatness in knowledge.<\/p>\n agaippil manisarai<\/strong> \u2013 jIvAthmAs who have no distinction about their knowledge \u2013 those who do not have any high level of intelligence about them.<\/p>\n ARu samayam pugaiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> ensured that they were trapped in the six different philosophies. ARu samayam<\/em> \u2013 bhaudhdha, naiyAyika, vaiSEshika, jaina, sAnkya, yOga<\/em> philosophies established by sAkya, ulUkya, akshapAdha, kshapaNa, kapila<\/em> and pathanjali<\/em> respectively. Instead of naiyAyika<\/em> and yOga<\/em> philosophies, chArvAka <\/em>and pAsupatha <\/em>philosophies are included by some.<\/p>\n pugaiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 just as hunters, in forests, while trying to get animals which have hidden themselves in dense bushes, will set fire to trash so that the frightened animals will come out of bush and be caught by the hunters, emperumAn sets up the smokescreen of other philosophies and traps jIvAthmAs in samsAram.<\/p>\n agaippil pugaiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 For those caught in smoke, will the path be visible? AzhwAr<\/a> says that it is because of this reason that samsAris are still holding on to other deities despite being told repeatedly about emperumAn<\/a>.<\/p>\n porukadal neervaNNan ugaikkumEl<\/strong> \u2013 if emperumAn, who has a complexion which will comfort the eyes of those who see him, turns out to be indifferent… it is well nigh impossible for someone who, like the ocean, keeps giving away whatever is asked for by the needy. However, if water were to turn into fire; if emperumAn becomes indifferent…<\/p>\n eththEvar vAlAttum ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 the vanity of all those dhEvas (celestial entities) who roam around with the pride of a group of monkeys will disappear. Dogs wag their tail (vAlAttum) when they feel proud about themselves; thus, the term wagging the tail implies pride. Don\u2019t these dhEvathas also feel proud saying ISvarOham<\/em> (I am ISvaran, the controller of everyone else)?<\/p>\n evvARu azhaippuchcheygaiyum ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 the invitations extended to these deities when a ritual is performed, such as indhramAvahayAmi, sOmamAvahayAmi<\/em> (I invoke the presence of indhra, I invoke the presence of sOma) etc and the offerings made to them such as indhrAyasvAhA, varunAyasvAhA<\/em> etc will disappear. Alternatively…<\/p>\n evvARu seygaiyum ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 the rituals which the jIvAthmAs carry out to worship these dhEvathAs will themselves disappear.<\/p>\n azhaippu ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 The invitations extended to the dhEvas during rituals to partake the offerings made with the words svAhA<\/em> will disappear.<\/p>\n eththEvar vAlAttum evvARu seygaiyum azhaippum ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 the pride of these dhEvathAs, the activities indulged in by these dhEvathAs such as thripuradhahanam<\/em> (burning of the three towns) etc and the invitations extended to them by jIvAthmAs in their rituals will disappear.<\/p>\n appOdhu ozhiyum<\/strong> \u2013 instead of waiting for some time, all these will disappear the moment emperumAn<\/a> becomes indifferent to these deities.<\/p>\n We will take up the 39th<\/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 was asked \u201cYou say that it is only because everything is dependent on sarvESvaran\u2019s sankalpa (vow of emperumAn) that he is the causative factor for all.
