<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Since his desire to see emperumAn<\/a> directly was not realised, AzhwAr<\/a> tells his heart \u201cOh heart! What is the purpose in our showing twelve teeth to emperumAn and beseeching him? It does not appear at all that he is going to show himself to us\u201d. After analysing this a little, he feels that he cannot go away from emperumAn due to this and tells his heart \u201cWhether he showers his grace or despises us, keep thinking of something or the other about emperumAn\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n numakkadiyOm enRenRu nondhu uraiththu en mAlAr<\/em> nenjE \u2013 Oh mind! numakkadiyOm enRenRu<\/strong> \u2013 It is enough to say only once \u201cI am your servitor\u201d to get his mercy, since he is naturally related to us. When this is the case, to say this many times will be a reason for hurting his divine mind.<\/p>\n nondhuraiththu en<\/strong> \u2013 due to the craving to see him directly, isn\u2019t saying this many times, purposeless! Whatever emperumAn<\/a> had said in\u00a0 SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 18-28 \u201cArthO vA yadhi vA dhruptha:parEshAm SaraNAgatha: <\/em>\u00a0I arI: prANAn parithyajya rakshithavya: kruthAthmanA<\/em> II\u201d (among the enemy warriors, one who has surrendered due to craving (due to feeling apologetic) or one who has surrendered due to patience (half-heartedly) should be protected by a person with well disciplined mind, even if he has to give up his life) has become false!<\/p>\n mAlAr thamakku nondhu uraiththu en<\/strong> \u2013 mAlAr<\/em> – one who is great; the opinion here is that when we were together with emperumAn<\/a> he said that he is our servitor, he said a few words in anguish and showed his happiness, but now there is no point in saying these things to him, who is such a great person.<\/p>\n avar thAm sArvu ariyar AnAl<\/strong> \u2013 when he was with us, he was obedient to us and showed that he was dependent on us, but now he is beyond approach for us. My desire to see him in person would have fructified on the day he had thought \u201cwe will do\u201d [show himself to AzhwAr<\/a>]; however, when he is not thinking of us now, there is no purpose in saying repeatedly in anguish, that \u201cwe are your servitors\u201d.<\/p>\n This is the meaning of the first half of the pAsuram. In the second half of the pAsuram, AzhwAr mercifully describes how he tells his heart \u201cif this is the case, we can leave him\u201d.<\/p>\n emakku ini yAdhAnum AgidukAN nenjE<\/strong> \u2013 for me who had desired to embrace him with this physical form, once it is clear that it will not happen, there is no difference between attaining him and losing him. What is the point in getting food later when it was not available when one was hungry? This is similar to ANdAL<\/a> saying in nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 13-9 \u201ckommai mulaigaL idar thIra gOvindhaRku Or kuRREval immaippiRavi\u00a0 seyyAdhE inippOychcheyyum thavandhAnen<\/em>\u201d (What is the purpose in carrying out service to gOvindha (emperumAn<\/a>) later when I cannot carry it out for him in this birth?)<\/p>\n When asked, \u201cLet him come when he wants to. Until then, can you not wait patiently?\u201d AzhwAr<\/a> says that it is possible for those who can sustain themselves in separation but not for him who cannot sustain himself in separation. Did not sIthAppirAtti tell that she cannot live if separated from emperumAn, as said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 27-8 \u201cIrshyA rOshau bahishkruthya bhukthaSEsham iva udhakam<\/em> I naya mAm vIra visrabhdha: pApam mayi na vidhyathE <\/em>II \u201d\u00a0 (Oh brave man! Getting rid of jealousy and anger, just as one gets rid of excess water after drinking what is required, take me, believing (my words); I do not have the sin (which is the reason for my\u00a0 separation from you)). This SlOkam is explained in detail now, in the vyAkyAnam. This SlOkam has been recited by sIthAppirAtti in anger which came out of affection, after SrI rAma had told her \u201cThere are wild animals and demons in the forest; I cannot take a gentle person such as you to the forest\u201d.<\/p>\n IrshyA rOshau bahishkruthya<\/em> \u2013 (Leaving aside jealousy and anger) Do you need so much of jealousy and anger since I will get a name with people saying \u2018when SrI rAma went to forest, sIthA also followed him\u2019. Just as you would get a name since \u2018rAma took the words of his father [emperor dhaSaratha] and went to the forest\u2019 should I not get a name \u2018sIthA went to the forest following her husband\u2019? Will the greatness \u2018he followed the instructions of elders\u2019 be appropriate only for you? Will it not be suitable for me?<\/p>\n IrshyArOshau bahishkruthya bhukthaSEsham ivOdhakam<\/em> \u2013 the opinion here is \u2018you are a disciple of vaSishta. You are very knowledgeable. That being the case, just as excess water, after quenching thirst is got rid of, should you not get rid of your jealousy and anger?\u2019<\/p>\n naya mAm<\/em> \u2013 (take me with you) Once you get rid of jealousy and anger, you would strive for the benefits of others. Hence, please take me too along with you.<\/p>\n vIra<\/em> \u2013 You may hesitate to take me if there is any shortcoming in your valour, having taken the responsibility for others\u2019 wellbeing. Since you are great warrior, there is no possibility for this doubt.<\/p>\n visrabdha<\/em> \u2013 (having faith in my words) You know yourself that you have the capability to protect me in the forest too. My words \u2018take me along with you\u2019 were not said for the sake of saying. These were said whole heartedly. Hence, keeping faith in my words, please take me.<\/p>\n sIthAppirAtti says further, thinking that perumAL (SrI rAma) may be of the opinion that \u2018it would be better to live in the city [of ayOdhyA] without any hardship than living in forest, facing many the hardships\u2019<\/p>\n pApam mayi na vidhyathE<\/em> \u00a0\u2013 Since I will not live if separated from you, there is no possibility that I will suffer in separation from you. The opinion is that due to this fact, there will be no sin for her, as a result of that.<\/p>\n Now, we get back to the main pAsuram.<\/p>\n avar thiRaththE yAdhAnum sindhiththu iru<\/strong> \u2013 [AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s heart is asking him] \u201dCould you think that both attaining emperumAn<\/a> and losing him are the same? He is very much required for our existence\u201d AzhwAr responds \u201cIt is not required to attain him for our existence. Since we are a part of his physical form, when he exists, we also will exist. Now, in order to spend time purposefully, keep thinking of something or the other about him\u201d. The opinion here is that even if emperumAn says \u201cyou are not needed for me\u201d, AzhwAr could sustain himself by thinking about this.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 10th<\/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 Since his desire to see emperumAn directly was not realised, AzhwAr tells his heart \u201cOh heart!
