<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr spoke about the simplicity of emperumAn in standing atop the hill and welcoming his followers. In this pAsuram, he speaks and feels joyous about the simplicity of emperumAn in lying below the hill and sustaining it.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n malaiyAmaimEl vaiththu vAsugiyaichchuRRi<\/em> malai \u2013 manthara parvam (the mountain manthara<\/em>, a celestial mountain) malai Amai mEl vaiththu<\/strong> \u2013 keeping the mountain manthara<\/em> atop himself, in the form of kUrma <\/em>(tortoise). In order to protect the celestial entities who were without strength, emperumAn wanted to give them nectar by churning the milky ocean, thiruppARkadal<\/em>. For this, he uprooted the mountain manthara<\/em> and planted it in the ocean as churning staff and started churning. When it appeared that due to the churning motion, the mountain would sink in the ocean, emperumAn took the incarnation of kUrma (tortoise) and positioned himself below the mountain. AzhwAr is referring to this.<\/p>\n vAsugiyaich chuRRi<\/strong> \u2013 coiling the huge snake vAsuki as the rope for chunring the ocean through the mountain.<\/p>\n Amai thAn oru kai paRRi<\/strong> \u2013 while the mountain was supported from sinking in the ocean, during the process of churning, it would move sideways or go to the top. To prevent such motions, emperumAn held the top of the mountain with his own hand.<\/p>\n alaiyAmal pIRak kadaindha<\/strong> \u2013 even after doing all these, dhEvas (celestial entities) and asuras (demonic entities) were not capable of churning the ocean. Hence emperumAn carried out this task too, himself.<\/p>\n alaiyAmal pIRak kadaindha<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring that the ocean did not become rageful, as well\u00a0 as ensuring that the waters of the ocean did not spill over since a huge mountain was dropped into\u00a0 it as the churning staff, emperumAn churned the ocean such that nectar came out of the ocean as its essence. By this act of churning the inner sides of the ocean, emperumAn proved that he is the Lord of dhEvas too.<\/p>\n kadaindha perumAn <\/strong>\u2013 we can say that by this one act, emperumAn made the celestial entities as his servitors.<\/p>\n perumAL thirunAmam kURuvadhE yAvarkkum kURRu<\/strong> \u2013 reciting the divine names of emperumAn who transformed himself in order to carry out the task for anyaprayOjanars <\/em>(those who seek him for other benefits) is the most apt act for both anyaprayOjanars<\/em> and ananyaprayOjanars<\/em> (those who seek emperumAn himself as the benefit), without any distinction.<\/p>\n We will take up the 50th<\/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 spoke about the simplicity of emperumAn in standing atop the hill and welcoming his followers.
