It can also be said that &#8220;vidumin&#8221; has been stretched to sound &#8220;vIdumin&#8221;. Why AzhwAr is emphasising the &#8220;giving up&#8221; first without indicating what is to be given up? When a small child gets hold of a snake, the mother (or elders) out of fear will say &#8220;drop&#8221; first and then say &#8220;the snake&#8221;. Similarly, when a house is on fire, onlookers may scream &#8220;get out&#8221; first and then say that the house is on fire. Similarly, Azhwar says &#8220;give up&#8221; first. Also, as seen in vibhIshaNa&#8217;s life in srI rAmAyaNam yuddha kANdam, &#8220;<em>thaykthvA puthrAmscha dhArAmscha<\/em>&#8221; (Giving up the sons and wife) and &#8220;parithyakthA mayA lankA&#8221; (lankA was fully given up me) &#8211; first vibhIshaNa gave up everything and then surrendered to srI rAma &#8211; AzhwAr is also instructing in the same order. &#8220;vIdumin&#8221; is a plural world &#8211; It is not that someone who was distressed by the worldly matters approached AzhwAr and asked him for advise. AzhwAr out of his eagerness, instructs everyone to relieve them from the suffering in this world.<\/li>\n<li><em>muRRavum<\/em> &#8211; Everything. When a chaNdALa&#8217;s (dog-eater) house is given to a brAhmaNa, everything is cleared out and then given. Similarly, while giving up, everything should be given up since all world attachments are based on ahankAram (considering oneself as body) and mamakAram (considering oneself as the owner).<\/li>\n<li><em>vIdu seythu<\/em> &#8211; The repetition here is to emphasise the importance of &#8220;giving up&#8221;. When a prince somehow is imprisoned even before being crowned, first being released from the prison would be the primary goal. Similarly, giving up everything itself is important first.<\/li>\n<li><em>ummuyir vIdu udaiyAnidai<\/em> &#8211; There are several explanations for this.\n<ul>\n<li>As explained in\u00a0bruhadhAraNyaka upanishath &#8220;<em>yasya AthmA sarIram, yasya pruthvi sarIram<\/em>&#8221; (all <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">jIvAthmA<\/a>s are his body, earth is his body) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> is the owner of both the <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">AthmA<\/a> and its <em>vIdu<\/em> (house &#8211; residing place) which is the body.<\/li>\n<li>The one who has yourself (<a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">AthmA<\/a>) as the residing place.<\/li>\n<li>The owner to whom yourself should be submitted.<\/li>\n<li>vIdu (mOkhsam &#8211; paramapadham) &#8211; The one who is the owner of paramapadham.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em>ummuyir<\/em> &#8211; yourself.

When one develops taste towards bhagavath vishayam and asks &#8220;who is the master?&#8221;, AzhwAr will say &#8220;<em>vaNpugazh nAraNan<\/em>&#8221; (the most glorious <a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">srIman nArAyaNan<\/a>) at that time. As the owner, he is trying to protect you all along. You too, accept his ownership without thinking &#8220;me, mine&#8221; and submit unto him. Since he is the owner, we cannot argue with him.<\/li>\n<li>manusmruthi 8.92 is explained in detail by nampiLLai &#8220;<em>yamO vaivasvathO rAja ya sthavaisha hrudhi sthitha: | thEna chEdhavivAdhas thE mA gangAm mA kurUn gama: ||<\/em>&#8221; (The one who controls yama (the controller of death), one who is born in the sun dynasty\u00a0 or one who is residing in the center of sun, the one who is liked by everyone, the one who is explained popularly in antharyAmi brAhamaNam, he is residing in your heart. If you give up arguing with him, that is sufficient &#8211; you need not visit holy rivers and holy places).\u00a0 nampiLLai highlights that <a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">emperumAn<\/a> is always within our heart to help us. Atonement without giving up ahankAram and mamakAram is like packing a condemned material in a nice package and offering it. Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> is the owner. <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">AthmA<\/a> is the best object which is stolen by us (i.e., considering oneself to be independent instead of being dependent on <a href=\"https:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/2012\/08\/17\/divya-dhampathi\/\">emperumAn<\/a>). Before atoning (submitting) one should give up the stolen object &#8211; but that stolen object is oneself. But, there is no one else to submit. So, you just submit yourself to the master.
