<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Once AzhwAr<\/a> mercifully said \u201cvirumbuvadhE viLLEn manam<\/em>\u201d emperumAn<\/a> established himself firmly in AzhwAr\u2019s mind saying \u201ceven if you and your mind forget me, I will not\u201d just as nammAzhwAr<\/a> said mercifully in thiruvAimozhi 1-10-10<\/a> \u201cmaRappanenRu sendhAmaraikkaNNodu maRappaRa ennuLLE manninAn<\/em>\u201d (thinking that I will forget, emperumAn, with his lotus-like eyes, came and established himself firmly in my mind so that I will not forget). Looking at this, AzhwAr is elated saying \u201cif others think of emperumAn, the supreme being will merely remove the sorrows of their minds. However in my case, he establishes firmly in my mind, without any cause, falling head over heels, like a firmly rooted plant. No one else has this wealth\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n manakkEdham sArA madhusUdhan thannai<\/em> madhusUdhan thannai \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who killed the demon madhu manakkEdham<\/strong> \u2013 if we consider this as a derivative of the Sanskrit word mana: kEdha:<\/em>, it will mean sorrows of the mind. Alternatively, this word can be split into manaththukku Edham<\/em> which will mean faults of the mind such as ignorance etc.<\/p>\n manakkEdham sArA madhusUdhan thannaith thanakkE thAn thanjamAk koLLil<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> had killed the demons madhu and kaitabha when they stole the vEdhas and spread ignorance in the world, and protected brahmA, rudhra et al. If one takes such emperumAn as the means, emperumAn will destroy ignorance in his mind just as he destroyed madhu \/ kaitabha and shower his grace on him.<\/p>\n thanakkE thAn thanjamAk koLLil<\/strong> \u2013 this implies that this is the status of svagatha svIkAra nishtA<\/em> – one who holds on to emperumAn on his own efforts. Those who surrender are of two types \u2013 those who are svagatha svIkAra nishtA<\/em> [just now explained] and paragatha<\/em> svIkAra nishtA <\/em>\u2013 one who looks up to emperumAn<\/a> to enable him to hold on to emperumAn, thinking \u201cthe owner will hold on to his possession when he wants\u201d.<\/p>\n Thus AzhwAr<\/a> spoke of the status of svagatha svIkAra nishta<\/em> in the first two lines. In the next two lines, AzhwAr speaks about the way emperumAn distinctly treats paragatha svIkAra nishtA<\/em> \u2013 himself.<\/p>\n enakkEdhAn inRonRi ninRulagai EzhANai OttinAN senRonRi ninRa thiru<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> is referred to as one who pervades all the worlds both inside and outside, as mentioned in nArAyaNa sUktham \u201cantharbahiScha thathsarvam nArAyaNasthitha:\u201d<\/em> AzhwAr says that he got the great wealth of such emperumAn who is like a well fitting great emperor of all the worlds, who came on his own into this mind and stayed firmly.<\/p>\n enakkEdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 the affection which emperumAn has towards those who look up to him is many times more than the affection that emperumAn has towards those who seek him out on their own. Thus his affection towards herdsmen, herdswomen, herdsgirls, cows, calves is ten times deeper than with others. This is the greatest treasure which is hidden in such pramANams (authentic sources of information) such as AzhwArs<\/a>\u2019 pAsurams \u201cthivaththilum pasunirai mEyppu uvaththi<\/em>\u201d (you are more joyous tending to cows than you are in paramapadham), \u201ckanRu mEyththu inidhugandha<\/em>\u201d (one who is the most joyous tending to calves), \u201ckAli mEykka vallAn<\/em>\u201d (one who is strong in grazing cattle), \u201ckanRu mEyththu viLaiyAda vallAn<\/em>\u201d (one who is strong in grazing and playing with calves) etc.<\/p>\n This pAsuram explains clearly the meaning of the vEdha vAkyam<\/em> (saying of vEdha) \u201cprajApathis thvam vEdha<\/em> I prajApathim thvO vEdha<\/em> I yam prajApathir vEdha sa puNyO bhavathi<\/em>\u201d (supreme being attains one (on his own). One attains supreme being, seeking him out, on his own. Of these, whoever supreme being attains on his own, is the best).<\/p>\n We will move on to the 62nd<\/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 Once AzhwAr mercifully said \u201cvirumbuvadhE viLLEn manam\u201d emperumAn established himself firmly in AzhwAr\u2019s mind saying \u201ceven if you and your mind forget me, I will not\u201d just as nammAzhwAr said mercifully in thiruvAimozhi 1-10-10 \u201cmaRappanenRu sendhAmaraikkaNNodu maRappaRa ennuLLE manninAn\u201d (thinking … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iyarpa","category-nanmugan-thiruvandhadhi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21798\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/madhusudhanan.jpg\")
