What did he get by highlighting this point? AzhwAr is implying &#8220;Just as you have full control of your existence, my existence is also under your full control; hence, why should I engage in pursuing other means to reach you?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><em>punai konRai am sem sadaiyAy<\/em> &#8211; Are the existence of others, free from your control?

Further, even if ISwara vows &#8220;let me create this way&#8221;, it will be impossible to do, looking at brahmA&#8217;s apt creation [vAyththa nAnmugan &#8211; brahmA, the apt person for creation].<\/li>\n<li><em>en<\/em> &#8211; for this, the focus is on viSEshya (<a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> who is the object who has the viSEshaNa (attribute)). While speaking in context of vaiyadhikaraNam (dealing with different entities \u2013 i.e. emperumAn being the lord of different dhEvathAs), it will lead to bewilderment to separate him from the dhEvathAs and also to consider it to be talking about kEvala bEdham (simple difference) only; but when explained in context of sAmAnAdhikaraNam (dealing with different entities which have a common base \u2013 i.e. emperumAn being the antharAthmA of all these dhEvathAs), it will highlight the lord\/servant relationship. So, the result of both vaiyadhikaraNam and sAmAnAdhikaraNam, is his total control over others; yet, there is special reason in explaining this in the context of sAmAnAdhikaraNam. As said in SrIrangarAja sthavam 2.87 &#8220;<em>svam udhdhiSya<\/em>&#8220;, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> did all these for his own sake only. As said in this SlOkam &#8220;<em>upAththE saththA sthithi niyamana Adhyai: chidhachithau svam udhdhiSya<\/em>&#8221; (upanishaths are saying that SrIman nArAyaNan accepts the existence, protection and control of all chith (sentient beings) and achith (insentient entities), for his own sake), since starting from existence to everything else is at his disposal, one&#8217;s total dependence on emperumAn is such that one cannot engage in pursuing other means separately.<\/li>\n<li><em>vandhu en Ar uyir<\/em> &#8211; Should I speak about your favours towards others?
