<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> mercifully tells AzhwAr<\/a> \u201cYou have not noticed an important aspect when you say \u2018If I start praising emperumAn, it becomes a fault. If I stay away from praising him, it has a special distinction\u2019. While looking at what you said superficially may appear correct, if one were to analyse deeply at what you said, it will be clear that one should follow the exact opposite of what you had said. If you stay away from praising me, others will think \u2018only those who are greater than AzhwAr can attain matters related to emperumAn<\/a>\u2019 and will not come anywhere near me. If you praise me, others will think \u2018everyone can hold on to the matter that AzhwAr has held on to\u2019 and come to me. Hence, I will attain greatness only if you praise me\u201d. Hearing this, AzhwAr becomes very pleased and starts praising emperumAn.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n ennil migu pugazhAr yAvarE pinnaiyum maRRu<\/em> enna \u2013 being mine ennil migu pugazhAr yAvarE<\/strong> \u2013 this could be construed to mean (1) who else is there who has more fame than I do? (2) Just as bhUthaththAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully said in the 100th<\/sup> pAsuram of iraNdAm thiruvandhAdhi<\/a> \u201cenRanaLavanRAl yAnudaiya anbu<\/em>\u201d (my affection [for emperumAn<\/a>] became much larger than I), my fame has grown bulky, much larger than my basic form which is atomic. Who else\u00a0 has this much of fame?<\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> further affirms the meaning brought out by both these meanings.<\/p>\n pinnaiyum maRReNNil migu pugazhEn yAn allAl<\/strong> \u2013 if one were to analyse, there is none who has fame which is not limited by the basic form. How is it that this AzhwAr, who praises himself to this extent in this pAsuram, said in thiruvAimozhi 4-7-1<\/a> \u201cseelamillAch chiRiyanElum seyvinaiyO peridhAl<\/em>\u201d (even though I am lowly person without any knowledge, my sins are huge)? When he does not attain emperumAn<\/a>, AzhwAr<\/a> says that there is none who has sinned more than he. In the same way, when he attains emperumAn and he says that there is none who is his equal, there is no shortcoming in that.<\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> now says the reason for this.<\/p>\n enna karunjOdhikkaNNan kadal puraiyum seelan perunjOdhikku ennenju AtpeRRu<\/strong> \u2013 praising kaNNan (krishNa) who has black complexion, who gave his divine form to me for me to enjoy completely as my right and thus showed his simplicity, who has the inherent quality of ocean and who is supremely radiant, being the sarvESvaran<\/a>, added to his greatness. This verse should be read along with the previous part \u201cennil migu pugazhAr yAvarE <\/em>\u201d. By referring to ennudaiya karunjOdhik kaNNan, <\/em>emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s quality of simplicity by which he gives his divine form for AzhwAr<\/a> to enjoy has been brought out. seelan<\/em> refers to the quality of great person mingling with lowly person without any inhibition. Such a person is referred to in vEdhas (sacred texts) as paranjOdhi<\/em> (supremely radiant), the sarvESvaran and AzhwAr refers to him here as perunjOdhi (great radiance). Alternatively, it can be construed that he is referring to emperumAn as perumjOdhi<\/em> because of the deep affection that emperumAn has for AzhwAr as mentioned by AzhwAr himself in thiruvAimozhi 3-3-4<\/a> \u201cIsan vAnavarkkenban enRal adhu thEsamO thiruvEngadaththAnukku nIsanEn niRaivonRumilEn enkaN pAsam vaiththa paranjudar sOdhikke<\/em>\u201d (Is it a great quality for thiruvEngadaththAn\u00a0 (emperumAn) to be the controller of nithyasUris? He showed affection towards me, who is lowly and who has no great quality in him and he is supremely radiant).<\/p>\n We will move on to the 5th<\/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 emperumAn mercifully tells AzhwAr \u201cYou have not noticed an important aspect when you say \u2018If I start praising emperumAn, it becomes a fault.
