<< Previous<\/a> AzhwAr<\/a> was asked “What is the reason for your not singing about others?” He responds saying that all the words and their meanings in the world have been created due to emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s sankalpa<\/em> (will), implying that only emperumAn has the greatness to be sung about.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pAttum muRaiyum padu kadhaiyum palporuLum<\/em> pAttum muRaiyum \u2013 musical and prosaic (thus, all these) pAttum muRaiyum padu kadhaiyum pal poruLum<\/strong> \u2013 vyAkyAthA periyavAchchAn piLLai\u2019s opinion is that these four words denote the meanings which are spoken of extensively in purANas (ancient narratives which would appear new each time they are read). According to SrI vishNu purANam 6-8-13 these are \u201csargaScha prathisargaScha vamSam manvantharANi cha <\/em>I vamSanucharitham kruthsnam mayAthra thava kIrthitham<\/em> II\u201d (creation, annihilation, lineage, period of manu and narratives of lineages were narrated by me to you).<\/p>\n pAttum<\/strong> \u2013 starting from kings and going up to sarvESvara, the songs which were sung about the greatness of each. Don\u2019t purANas sing extensively about celestial entities, pithrus<\/em> (forefathers), kings as mentioned in mAthsya purANam \u201cagnE: Sivasya mahAthmyam<\/em>\u201d?<\/p>\n muRaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 the order of lineages and manvantharam<\/em> (manu\u2019s period). parASara bhagavAn called this \u201cvamSamanvantharANi cha<\/em>\u201d (lineage and manvantharam).<\/p>\n padu kadhaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 srushti <\/em>(creation), pralayam<\/em> (annihilation), history of lineages which happened earlier. parASara maharishi called this \u201csargaScha prathisargaScha vamSAnucharitham kruthsnam<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n palporuLum<\/strong> \u2013 apart from these, various other meanings which are explained in purANas regarding activities based on varNa<\/em> (four classifications based on qualities and profession) and ASrama<\/em> (status in societal life), determination of terrestrial movement etc.<\/p>\n This is the interpretation of periyavAchchAn piLLai. The interpretation of appiLLai is:<\/p>\n pAttum muRaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 prose and proper music which sings about prose.<\/p>\n padu kadhaiyum<\/strong> \u2013 ithihAsas (epics) which talk about old narratives describing how they happened.<\/p>\n pal poruLum<\/strong> \u2013 various meanings described by purANas starting with sargaScha prathisargaScha<\/em>.<\/p>\n Ittiya thIyum<\/strong> \u2013 agni (fire) which was created in order to exhibit the other elements (ether, water, wind and earth) through the method of\u00a0panchIkaraNam<\/em> (homogenisation). Homogenisation is the method by which emperumAn<\/a> split each of the elements into eight parts, retaining four parts in the mother element and mixing each of the other four parts with each of the other four elements.<\/p>\n iru visumbum<\/strong> \u2013 sky (ether) which is bigger than the other four elements since it pervades them. Mentioning about these two elements (agni<\/em> (fire) and AkASam <\/em>(sky)) is representative of the other three elements and the materials which are resultant from them.<\/p>\n In periyavAchchAn piLLai\u2019s interpretation, all these are vAchyam<\/em> (meanings of words) and what follow are the vAchagams<\/em> (words). In appiLLai\u2019s interpretation, Ittiya thIyum iruvisumbum<\/em> alone is meaning of words. Those which precede and succeed this are words.<\/p>\n kEtta manuvum . . . .dhaRpu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as mentioned in thaiththirIya samhithai 2-2 \u201cyadhyai kincha manuavadhath thath bhEshajam<\/em>\u201d (whatever has been mentioned by manu is medicine), manusmruthi which has been quoted in vEdhas, and the four vEdhas themselves which have been taught by AchArya<\/em> (teacher) and heard by Sishya<\/em> (due to which they are called as Sruthi<\/em>) have the nature of total truth since they have been created by the AScharya bhUtha<\/em> (amazing entity, emperumAn<\/a>) through his sankalpa<\/em> (will). This implies that the connection between a word and its meaning has been created by emperumAn\u2019s sankalpa<\/em>.<\/p>\n mAyai<\/strong> \u2013 this refers to the knowledge through sankalpa<\/em> (will) as brought out by Arsha nigaNdu<\/em> (lexicon) saying \u201cmAyA vayunam gyAnam<\/em>\u201d kaNNa (krishNa) also mentioned in SrI bhagavath gIthA 4-6<\/a> \u201cAthma mAyayA sambhavAmi<\/em>\u201d (I am born out of my will). dhaRpu<\/em> \u2013 thathvam<\/em>; truth.<\/p>\n We will take up the 77th<\/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 “What is the reason for your not singing about others?” He responds saying that all the words and their meanings in the world have been created due to emperumAn\u2019s sankalpa (will), implying that only emperumAn has the … 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-22025","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\/22025","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=22025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22025\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/krishna-dark-e1469606515951.jpeg\")
