The same meaning has been explained by this AzhwAr<\/a> himself in thiruchchandha viruththam 64 \u201canRu vehkaNaik kidandhadhennilAdha munnelAm<\/em>\u201d (before reaching my heart, emperumAn<\/a> was dwelling in thiruvehkA) and in thiruchchandha viruththam 65 \u201ckidappadhum naRperum thiraikkadaluL nAn ilAdha munnelAm<\/em>\u201d (before I came, emperumAn used to recline on the milky ocean) and by periyAzhwAr<\/a> in his periyAr thirumozhi 5-4-9 \u201cpanikkadalil paLLigOLaip pazhagavittu Odi vendhen manakkadalil vAzhavalla mAya maNALa nambi <\/em>\u201d(leaving aside the cool thiruppARkadal, emperumAn, who has amazing powers, who is the consort of pirAtti and who is complete in auspicious qualities, is capable of entering my mind and living there).<\/p>\n nediya mARku<\/strong> \u2013 one who has affection bettering mine. mAl <\/em>\u2013 one who is great; one who is affectionate. Just as nammAzhwAr<\/a> had mercifully said in thiruvAimozhi 9-6-10 \u201cvArikkoNdu unnai vizhunguvan kANilenRu ArvuRRa ennai ozhiya ennin munnam pAriththuth thAn ennai muRRum paruginAn<\/em>\u201d (before I could enjoy him, he, with greater desire than mine, ate me up completely), emperumAn<\/a> who has a greater affection towards me than I have towards him, entered my lowly heart and established himself there.<\/p>\n When asked \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d AzhwAr<\/a> says, in the second part of this pAsuram that he made his heart suitable for emperumAn.<\/p>\n dhidamAga vaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 I will not keep other deities as stable entities in my heart.<\/p>\n Who are those deities?<\/p>\n madhi sUdi thannOdu ayanai<\/strong> \u2013 rudhra, who gave shelter for chandhra when he was in a precarious position, thus protecting him, due to which he thought vainly that he is the protector for all and, brahmA, who, because he was born in a lotus, thought that he was an ayOnija <\/em>(born without staying in a womb). I will not think of rudhra and brahmA as supreme entities.<\/p>\n nAn vaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 this is because I have subtle knowledge, capable of distinguishing between good and bad. vaiyEn<\/em> \u2013 one who has sharp knowledge.<\/p>\n vaiyEN AtcheyyEn<\/strong> \u2013 Since I have sharp knowledge, I will not become a servitor to rudhra, brahmA et al.<\/p>\n Has it not been said in mahAbhAratham mOksha parvam 116 \u201cbrahmANam SidhikaNtancha yASchAnyA dhEvathA: smruthA: <\/em>I prathibhudhdhA na sEvanthE yasmAth parimitham palam<\/em> II \u201d (those with sharp brain will not worship brahmA, Siva and other deities since the benefit which can be obtained from them is limited)!<\/p>\n valam<\/strong> \u2013 the reason for all this greatness is due to the strength of having emperumAn<\/a> in proximity.<\/p>\n valam vaiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 it could also be construed that AzhwAr<\/a> is saying that he will not circumambulate these deities.<\/p>\n We will take up the 67th<\/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: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr mercifully said in the previous pAsuram en nenjaththu eNNinEn.
