<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that bhagavath vishayam<\/em> (matter relating to emperumAn<\/a>) not only has the greatness to avoid any agony to yama. It is also sweet to hear, it is the refuge for earth (people living on earth), complete subject matter for poets (to compose poems) and the meaning of vEdhas (sacred texts).<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n sevikkinabamAvadhum sengaNmAl nAmam<\/em> sevikku inbamAvadhuvum \u2013 being sweet to the ears sevikkinbamAvadhuvum sengaNmAl nAmam<\/strong> \u2013 the um<\/em> in this word (sevikkinbamAdhuvum<\/em>) refers to the agony undergone by yama in the previous pAsuram. It is not only that emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s divine name removes our being under the control of yama. The divine name of the lotus eyed emperumAn is also very sweet to the ears. It will immerse the person who hears it in the flood of nectar.<\/p>\n mAl<\/strong> \u2013 one who is affectionate towards his followers; supreme being; sem kaN<\/em> indicates both meanings.<\/p>\n puvikkum puviyadhuvE kaNdIr<\/strong> \u2013 Is it that his divine name is sweet only for me? For all the people on this earth, isn\u2019t that divine name the refuge? Has it not been said in the vEdhas \u201cArthA vishaNNA: SithilAScha bhIthA: ghOrEshu cha vyAdhishu varththamAnA:<\/em> I sankIrthya nArAyaNa SabdhamAthram vimuktha dhukkA: sukinO bhavanthi<\/em> II\u201d (if those who have been troubled by the thApathrayam<\/em> (ills brought on by self, ills brought on by nature and ills brought on by past deeds), if those who fear whether they will be troubled by them and those who are inflicted with terrible diseases, hear the word nArAyaNa<\/em> they will be liberated from their troubles and will be in bliss)?<\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> explained the greatness of the divine name so far. Now he explains the greatness of the one who has the name.<\/p>\n kavikku niRai poruLAy ninRAnai<\/strong> \u2013 when one has to praise others, since their faults are more, one has to fill up their faults with non-existent abundance in qualities. <\/strong>kUraththAzhwAn<\/a> (one of the primary disciples of bhagavadh SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>) has mercifully said in SrIsthavam 3 \u201canyadhIyAn guNAn anyathra thvasathO\u2019dhirOpya paNithi:<\/em>\u201d (praise is defined as taking the good qualities of one person, thrusting them on another person who doesn\u2019t have them and singing about the second person). On the\u00a0 other hand, with emperumAn<\/a>, the situation is that however much one has sung his praises, his svarUpa rUpa guNa vibhUthi <\/em>(basic nature, divine form, auspicious qualities and wealth) are so much that what has been sung will be very little and what remains to be sung, so huge. Thus he is apt to be called as complete in all respect. Has it not been said in jithanthE sthOthram 1-7 \u201cvachasAm vAchyamuththamam<\/em>\u201d (supreme being is beyond words)!<\/p>\n nErppattEn<\/strong> \u2013 I attained him by chance, without any efforts from me. In other words, I attained him due to his causeless mercy. It is emperumAn\u2019s causeless mercy which is spoken about as vidhi<\/em> in thiruvAimozhi 5-1-1<\/a> \u201cvidhivAykkinRu kAppArAr<\/em>\u201d (who can prevent when emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s mercy takes effect ) and in sthOthra rathnam 51<\/a> \u201cvidhinirmitham Ethadhanvayam<\/em>\u201d (this connection came about due to vidhi<\/em> (destiny))<\/p>\n pArkkil<\/strong> \u2013 I did not remain complacent because I obtained it due to emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s grace. Just as one examines a gemstone, I too analysed and what I found is that …<\/p>\n maRaipporuLum aththanaiyEdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 the deep-rooted meaning of vEdhAntham is also the same. I realised that when I tripped, what I got to lay my hands on was indeed an invaluable carbuncle.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 70th<\/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 says that bhagavath vishayam (matter relating to emperumAn) not only has the greatness to avoid any agony to yama.
