<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says \u201cLet emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s sankalpa<\/em>, the words and their meanings etc remain. After seeing how he showered his distinguished grace on me, who is the epitome of all the faults, how can I praise the human beings with my tongue?\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n thaRpennaith thAnaRIyAnElum thadangadalaik<\/em> thadam kaladai \u2013 expansive ocean (Hence) thaRpennaith thAnaRIyAnElum<\/strong> \u2013 even if he did not know me, as I am [ i.e. my true nature]. This AzhwAr<\/a> has said of himself in thiruchchandha viruththam 90 \u201ckulangaLAya IriraNdil onRilum piRandhilEn, nalangalAya naRkalaigaL nAlilum navinRilEn pulangaLaindhum venRilEn poRiyilEn<\/em>\u201d (I am not born in any of the four varNas<\/em> (classification of society based on qualities and activities), I have not learnt any of the four vEdhas which show correct path to all, I have not won over the five senses and I am trapped in worldly pursuits such as Sabdham (sound) etc ).\u00a0 Even if emperumAn<\/a> does not know that I have such faults…..<\/p>\n thAnaRiyAnElum<\/strong> \u2013 Just as mentioned in \u201cyassarvagya: sarvavith<\/em>\u201d even if he, who is the omniscient, does not know my faults. ennaith thAnaRIyAnElum<\/em> \u2013 Instead of saying \u2018my faults\u2019 why is AzhwAr<\/a> saying \u2018me\u2019? Since AzhwAr<\/a> feels that he is the epitome of all faults, he says \u2018me\u2019 instead of \u2018my faults\u2019. aRiyAnElum<\/em> \u2013 has it not been mentioned \u201cavigyAtha hi bhakthAnAm Agassu kamalEkshaNa:<\/em>\u201d (when it comes to the faults of his devotees, the lotus-eyed (emperumAn<\/a>) remains ignorant)?<\/p>\n thadangadalaik kaRkoNdu thUrththa kadal vaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 he built a dam in the huge ocean with stones; he has dark and cool form, just like the ocean; he has qualities such as profundity etc similar to the ocean. He built a dam across the ocean with stones which would normally sink in the ocean, and achieved a feat which no one else can, in line with his quality of having agadithagatanA<\/em> skill (achieving the impossible).<\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that emperumAn<\/a> achieved such feats not only for pirAtti<\/a> (sIthAppirAtti, for rescuing whom he built the dam) but also for me . . . .<\/p>\n eRkoNda vevvinaiyum nIngak kaNdu<\/strong> \u2013 when I was fully transformed like an insentient entity being enveloped by all the sins, he graced me such that all the sins ran helter skelter, just as mercifully mentioned by nammAzhwAr<\/a> in periya thiruvandhAdhi \u201cvAnO maRi kadalO mArudhamO thIyagamO kAnO orungiRRum kaNdilamAl<\/em>\u201d (How strange! After attaining emperumAn, we have not seen where the sins covering us went. Did they disappear in the sky or in the ocean or in the wind or in fire or in the forest?) vevvinai<\/em> \u2013 cruel sins; some people split this as ev vinay<\/em> \u2013 all the sins.<\/p>\n vilangA manam kaNdu vaiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 he kept me in his mind through his sankalpa<\/em> (divine will) and did not look at anything else. Just as nammAzhwAr<\/a> has mercifully mentioned in periya thiruvandhAdhi 68 \u201ckallum kanaikadalum vaigundha vAnAdum pullenRozhindhana<\/em>\u201d and periyAzhwAr<\/a> in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 5-4-9 \u201cpanikkadalil paLLigOLaip pazhagavittu Odivandhu <\/em>\u201d emperumAn<\/a> left everything else and thought only of me.<\/p>\n aRiyAnElum \u2013 manam vaiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 even if emperumAn did not know my faults, he kept his mind on me. One who did not know, started knowing. One, who did not know my faults, multiplied my qualities ten times or hundred times and started engaging with me. One who is avigyAthA<\/em> (one who does not know faults) became sahasrAmsu<\/em> (knowing (qualities) thousand times) [from SrI vishNu sahasranAmam].<\/p>\n eEvvinaiyum mAyumAl<\/strong> \u2013 once he keeps his mind on me, is there any way by which the sins will not be destroyed? Thus, all sins such as bhagavathapachAram<\/em> (disrespectful acts towards emperumAn<\/a>), bhAgavathapachAram<\/em> (disrespetful acts against emperumAn\u2019s followers) and asahyApachAram<\/em> (disrespectful acts against anyone without any reason) will get destroyed. The pathos behind this is that this is the agadithagatanA<\/em> (doing the impossible) act carried out by emperumAn towards me.<\/p>\n We will take up the 78th<\/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 \u201cLet emperumAn\u2019s sankalpa, the words and their meanings etc remain.
