<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> was asked \u201cCould you say that there is none who is equal to you in this world?\u201d he responds in this pAsuram that world is full of these types of people (as explained in the vyAkyAnam).<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n vilaikkAtpaduvar visAdhiyERRuNbar<\/em> thakkOr \u2013 lowly people vilaikkAtpaduvar<\/strong> \u2013 people who will sell their souls to others for very low values. Their souls are expected to be servitors only to emperumAn<\/a>, which are only his possession and which are sweet to him like SrI kausthubam [SrI kausthubam is a divine jewel decorating the divine chest of emperumAn and is said to represent all AthmAs (souls)]<\/p>\n viSadhiyERRuNbar<\/strong> \u2013 when an affluent person suffers from a disease, for the sake of money that he offers, these people will not hesitate to take on his disease and will be willing to enjoy that too. visAdhi<\/em> \u2013 vyAdhi (disease)<\/p>\n uNbar<\/strong> \u2013 while they enjoy the money that the affluent person offers, these people will be willing to enjoy his disease too.<\/p>\n Is it only this much?\u00a0 …..<\/p>\n thalaikkAt bali thirivar<\/strong> \u2013 when a person who is suffering from terminal disease escapes from it, these people will be willing to offer their heads as a sacrifice to lowly deities; they will go around town, looking for such \u2018diseased\u2019 people.<\/p>\n thakkOr<\/strong> \u2013 very intelligent people [mentioned with sarcasm]. What sort of knowledge do these people have that they will be willing to sell themselves or take up someone else\u2019s disease or offer their heads, all for the sake of money, without realising that one can but paint only if the canvas is there!<\/p>\n What is the reason for their knowledge to get blunted like this?<\/p>\n mulaikkAl vidamuNda vEndhanaiyE vERA EththEdhAr kallAdhavar<\/strong> \u2013 not worshipping with their intelligence, emperumAn<\/a>, who drank not\u00a0 only the poison that the demon pUthanA who came in the guise of yaSOdhA had applied on her bosom, but also the poison of her deceit and killed her. The implied meaning is that since they are not knowingly worshipping emperumAn, who removes enemies of his followers as his profession, their enemy of ignorance is still around.<\/p>\n vEndhanaiyE vERA EththAdhAr<\/strong> \u2013 those who do not worship emperumAn specifically. Since they are people who will do anything for money, there will be no shortcoming in their praising the dogs and ghosts of this word as indhra and chandhra (i.e. as great people). But they seem to have taken a vow that they will not worship emperumAn<\/a> even once, due to their ignorance.<\/p>\n vERA EththEdhAr<\/strong> \u2013 vERA<\/em>\u00a0 would mean pointing out specifically. There are some who would construe the meaning of vERA EththEdhAr<\/em> as those who do not worship in a special way.<\/p>\n kadamuNdAr<\/strong> \u2013 they swallow their sins, just as it has been mentioned in SrI bhagavath gIthA SlOkam 3-13<\/a> \u201cthE thvagham bhunjathe pApA:<\/em>\u201d (those sinners eat their sins). kadam<\/em> \u2013 sin.<\/p>\n vEndhanaiyE vERA EththEdhAr kadamuNdAr kallAdhavar<\/strong> \u2013 this follows the meaning expressed in SrI bhagavath gIthA SlOkam 7-15<\/a> \u201cna mAm dhukrithinO mUdA: prapadhyanthE narAdhamA:<\/em> I mAyayA\u2019pahrutha gyAnA: Asuram bhAvamASrithA:<\/em> II\u201d (fools, lowest among men, those with their knowledge blunted by illusion and demonic people do not attain me as they are all sinners). If the text is taken as kadanuNdAr<\/em> the meaning will be that those who keep borrowing in order to sustain themselves.<\/p>\n kallAdhavar<\/strong> \u2013 even after knowing that they cannot repay, these people will go on borrowing due to their blunted knowledge.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 53rd<\/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 \u201cCould you say that there is none who is equal to you in this world?\u201d he responds in this pAsuram that world is full of these types of people (as explained in the vyAkyAnam).
