<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Three avathArikais<\/em> were mentioned for this pAsuram [by nanjIyar<\/a>]. The first avathArikai<\/em> is that AzhwAr<\/a> is moving away from emperumAn<\/a> citing his unsuitability since he is trying to attain a means [emperumAn] who is attainable only by the thirty three dhEvas who are great in terms of knowledge, power etc. The second avathArikai<\/em> relates to AzhwAr saying disgustedly to his heart \u201cemperumAn will be attained only by dhEvas who are interested in other benefits and not by us who are totally desirous of only him\u201d. The third avathArikai<\/em> is about AzhwAr telling his heart in a dejected manner \u201cemperumAn will be attained only by dhEvas who hold on to other means but not by us who hold on to only him as the means\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n iru nAlvar Iraindhin mEl oruvar ettOdu<\/em> nal nenjE \u2013 Oh mind which has goodness iru nAlvar Iraindhin mEl oruvar ettOdu oru nAlvar Oriruvar<\/strong> \u2013 the thirty three dhEvas comprising 8 vasus, 11 rudhras, 12 Adhithyas and 2 aSvinI dhEvas. It is pertinent to recall here poygai AzhwAr<\/a> who says in his mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 52<\/a> \u201ceNmar padhinoruvar IraRuvar Oriruvar<\/em>\u201d and ANdAL<\/a> who says in thiruppAvai 20<\/a> \u201cmuppaththu mUvar<\/em>\u201d. vEdha also says \u201cthrayas thrimSadhvai dhEvA: \u201d (33 dhEvas)<\/p>\n allAl<\/strong> \u2013 apart from these [33 entities] who are full of knowledge and power.<\/p>\n thirumARku nAm Ar vaNakkam Ar<\/strong> \u2013 do we have the qualification to attain the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi<\/a>? Couldn\u2019t only great people attain him? Is our salutation etc, of any significance for him?<\/p>\n E pAvam<\/strong> \u2013 The reason for our losing him when he is at such close proximity is our sin only. One interpretation here is that we had to lose out on emperumAn<\/a> since we went away from emperumAn considering our unsuitability. The second interpretation is that the reason for losing emperumAn and not enjoying him despite our heart seeing him is due to our sin [here, the term \u2018our\u2019 refers to AzhwAr<\/a>].<\/p>\n nannenjE<\/strong> \u2013 On my good heart who remains with me irrespective of whether I attain emperumAn<\/a> or lose out on him.<\/p>\n nAm miga nAzh udaiyOm<\/strong> \u2013 As mentioned in the decad \u201cvaLavEzh ulagum<\/em>\u201d (thiruvAimozhi 1-5<\/a>) , if we consider the unsuitability interpretation, it would mean \u201cdo we, the epitome of faults, have the qualification to approach the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi? Isn\u2019t moving away from him the proper course of action? Isn\u2019t it due to our ignorance that we approached him despite our lowliness?\u201d If we consider the second interpretation (losing him out due to our sin), it would mean \u201cemperumAn<\/a> who carries out activities for those who have other means [to attain him] and who seek other benefits, would consider us, who have no other means and who seek no other benefit, as having sins\u201d. The long syllable A<\/em> in nAmA<\/em> is indicative of the element of surprise.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 11th<\/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 Three avathArikais were mentioned for this pAsuram [by nanjIyar].
