<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr mentioned about attaining emperumAn\u2019s followers as one of the faultless means [for attaining emperumAn] in the previous pAsuram. When asked \u201ccould you not mercifully tell us the other faultless means too?\u201d AzhwAr says in this pAsuram that \u201cthose who attain emperumAn and those who are in the charamOpAyam <\/em>(ultimate means) of being fully engaged with the followers of emperumAn are distinguished people\u201d. In matters relating to followers of emperumAn, svagatha svIkAram<\/em> (attaining through one\u2019s own efforts) was mentioned in the previous pAsuram<\/a>. paragatha svIkAram<\/em> (attaining through the causeless mercy of emperumAn) in the matters relating to followers of emperumAn is mentioned in the 18th<\/sup> pAsuram<\/a> of this prabandham (mARAya dhAnavanai<\/em>) and in this pAsuram. Has it not been mentioned in bhAradhwAja samhithai that just as in the matter related to emperumAn, there are also the same two types, namely svagatha svIkAram<\/em> and paragatha svIkAram <\/em>in matters related to emperumAn\u2019s followers and that these two are faultless means through the verse \u00a0\u201cguruNA yO\u2019bhimanyEtha gurum vA yObhimanyathE<\/em> I thAvubhau paramAm sidhdhim niyamAdhubhagachchatha:<\/em> II \u201d (both the one who is respected by the teacher and the one who respects\u00a0 the teacher attain the ultimate benefit of mOksham without fail)!<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n vIRRirundhu viNNALa vENduvAr vEngadaththAn<\/em> vIRRirundhu \u2013 being with greatness (in this world) vIRRirundhu viNNALa vENduvAr<\/strong> \u2013 they will be fully immersed in being a servitor to emperumAn\u2019s followers, with their eminence fully on display, with a desire to get the benefit of carrying out service to those in paramapadham<\/em>.<\/p>\n vEngadaththAn pAl thirundha vaiththArE panmalargaL<\/strong> \u2013 they are the people who have kept different types of flowers, without slipping on the procedure mentioned in SAsthras (sacred texts) and worshipped thiruvEngadaththAn who has taken residence in thiruvEngadam in order to uplift simple people. They have carried out service to emperumAn [here] and will get to serve him in paramapadham too.<\/p>\n Next AzhwAr mercifully says that engaging with followers of emperumAn fully is superior to this attainment through emperumAn (as mentioned in the earlier verse).<\/p>\n varu madhi pArththu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is mentioned in the vEdhavAkhyam<\/em> (line from vEdhas) \u201cyEna yEna dhAthA gachchathi thEna thEna saha gachchathi<\/em>\u201d (in whichever way emperumAn thinks, he [one who has reached paramapadham<\/em> after getting liberated from materialistic realm] also thinks in the same way, knowing forehand what emperumAn thinks in his divine mind).<\/p>\n anbinarAy maRRavarkkE thAzhwAyiryuppAr<\/strong> \u2013 they will be devoted to appropriate kainkaryam to emperumAn and be servile to him.<\/p>\n thAzhvAy iruppAr thamar mEl thirundha vAzhvAr<\/strong> \u2013 they are the people who\u00a0 are respected as \u201che is our person\u201d by emperumAn\u2019s followers. AzhwAr says that more than attaining emperumAn, they will lead a very happy life serving the followers of emperumAn, which is much superior to the former. The opinion here is that those who are fully engaged with emperumAn\u2019s followers will get to serve the followers of emperumAn, in line with the saying \u201cyathOpAsanam thathA palam<\/em>\u201d( benefit is related to one\u2019s devotion).<\/p>\n We will move on to the 91st<\/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: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr mentioned about attaining emperumAn\u2019s followers as one of the faultless means [for attaining emperumAn] in the previous pAsuram.
