<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> was asked \u201cYou said that this is the substance of vEdhas. How did you find it?\u201d AzhwAr responds saying \u201cI am the one who did not know this till today. Knowledgeable persons knew this all along\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n thAn oruvanAgith tharaNi idandheduththu<\/em> thAn oruvan Agi \u2013 being uniquely beautiful (Immersing in the deluge) thAn oruvanAgi<\/strong> \u2013 being the lord of all, emperumAn<\/a> reaches a unique state. For a great person, unique state is to be at the outermost limit of qualities such as sauSeelyam <\/em>(simple), saulabhyam<\/em> (easy to approach) and vAthsalyam<\/em> (having motherly love). That is the state of vAmana (incarnation of vAmana). nammAzhwAr<\/a> too said in thiruvAimozhi 1-10-1<\/a> \u201coru mANikkuRaLAgi<\/em>\u201d (being a unique dwarf)<\/p>\n oruvanAgi<\/strong> \u2013 it appears that oruvan<\/em> and vAmana<\/em> are synonyms. A great entity stood in a lowly manner. One who grants everyone\u2019s wish, stood like a mendicant, asking for alms. Without expecting anything, he stroked everyone with his divine foot. Isn\u2019t this the limit for sauSeelyam, saulabhyam, vAthsalyam <\/em>etc! Isn\u2019t this entity termed as oruvan<\/em>! Due to the interest in this meaning and due to the fact that En oruvanAgi<\/em> has been separately dealt with, this term thAnoruvanAgi<\/em> can be better combined with the last line irunilaththaich chenRAngu adippaduththa sEy<\/em> to get a complete meaning.<\/p>\n Angu senRu<\/strong> \u2013 while emperumAn<\/a> could have completed the task through his sankalpam<\/em> (divine vow), he went to the place where mahAbali was, by transforming himself, because mahAbali had the quality of magnanimity.<\/p>\n iru nilaththai adippaduththa sEy<\/strong> \u2013 measuring the expansive earth in such a way that it came under his foot. Just as it is said \u201cEka: prAseesarathpAdhamEka: prAchikshaLanmudhA<\/em> I aparOpyadharan mUrdhnA kO\u2019dhikas thEshu gaNyathAm<\/em> II\u201d (one stretched his leg; one washed it joyfully; one bore that water on his head. Ponder on who among these three is the greatest), he is the child of whom it could be said that he is without any equal.<\/p>\n dharaNi idandheduththu<\/strong> \u2013 digging out the earth with his tusk when earth was sticking to the walls of the universe at the time of deluge.<\/p>\n En oruvanAy eyiRRil thAngiyadhum<\/strong> \u2013 with a unique form of boar; despite being a great entity, since he incarnated as a boar without any pride, his qualities of sauSeelyam, saulabhyam, vAthsalyam<\/em> were manifested splendrously. AzhwAr<\/a> calls him as En oruvanAy<\/em> (unique boar). It could also be construed that AzhwAr is calling him as En oruvanAy<\/em> since he is a huge boar both in terms of form and beauty.<\/p>\n eyiRRil thAngiyadhum<\/strong> \u2013 he bore earth in one corner of his tusk.<\/p>\n yAn oruvan inRA aRigillEn allEn<\/strong> \u2013 I who am without equal in my ignorance, did not know this till now. inRA<\/em> \u2013 until today. But did this matter come to light only after I knew it now? The opinion is that many have known this already.<\/p>\n yAn oruvan inRA aRiginRen<\/strong> \u2013 Did I come to know of this matter only today?<\/p>\n allEn<\/strong> \u2013 No; for a long time, many have known it.<\/p>\n We will take up the 71st<\/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 \u201cYou said that this is the substance of vEdhas.
