<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a>, finding that no one corrected himself even after his parOpadhESam<\/em> (instructions to others), turns to emperumAn<\/a> and complains to him \u201cOh benefactor! In this world where people fall at the feet of other deities for lowly pleasures, who is there to worship your divine feet?\u201d In the 52nd<\/sup> pAsuram<\/a> of this prabandham, he felt sad seeing samsAris searching for comfort in samsAram (vilaikkAtpaduvar<\/em>). In this pAsuram he feels sad for those who neither engage with the readily available superior comforts in samsAram (worshipping emperumAn<\/a> at various divine abodes) nor with mOksham, which even though has to be attained through some means, is a very great goal to attain but instead engage with svarga<\/em> (heaven) etc which are to be attained for comforts by observing yagya (rituals) etc and falling at the feet of other deities.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n kadai ninRu amarar kazhal thozhudhu nALum<\/em> amarar kadai ninRu \u2013 standing at the doorsteps of other deities amarar kadai ninRu<\/strong> \u2013 standing at the gates of those deities who are difficult to worship. Those deities are not like emperumAn<\/a> who \u00a0is easy to worship with some flower, some water, some fragrance and some lamp [in other words, emperumAn is very easy to worship while those other deities are not]<\/p>\n kazhal thozhudhu nALum<\/strong> \u2013 falling at their feet every day. Those deities are not like emperumAn who will come running head over heels on hearing the words gOvindhA<\/em> as if a great weight has been placed on his chest or seeing the anjali<\/em> (worshipping with cupped palms) as if it is also a great weight on him.<\/p>\n kazhal thozhudhu nALum<\/strong> \u2013 carrying out deeds at the feet of the other deities, deeds which are to be done at emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s feet without thinking of them as means to attain him but as goals in themselves.<\/p>\n What is the benefit of carrying out such activities?<\/p>\n idai ninRa inbaththar Avar<\/strong> \u2013 they will attain insignificant, temporary comforts such as svarga etc which are neither like the readily available comforts in samsAram (divine abodes of emperumAn<\/a> where one can worship him) nor the great mOksham which is attained through observing certain means. These people will suffer a great deal in attaining even such lowly comforts.<\/p>\n pudai ninRa nIrOdha mEni nedumAlE<\/strong> – \u00a0Oh emperumAn who has a divine form similar to the ocean surrounding earth! The implied meaning is that emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine form is easy to see since (1) it is neither like the lowly and temporary comforts of samsAram nor invisible like svarga and mOksha but visible to the followers since emperumAn is in archA<\/em> (idol) form<\/a>; (2) like the ocean it removes all types of heat from samsAram and gives great comfort.<\/p>\n nIrOdha mEni nedumAlE ninnadiyai yArOdhavallAr avar<\/strong> \u2013 who is there in this world who praises your divine form, a form which is such great that it is apt to be praised even if that praising does not yield any benefit? Are the samsAris who sell themselves for lowly comforts capable of praising you? Or, are those who attain lowly goals such as svarga etc capable of praising you?<\/p>\n We will take up the 56th<\/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, finding that no one corrected himself even after his parOpadhESam (instructions to others), turns to emperumAn and complains to him \u201cOh benefactor!
