<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the 11th<\/sup> pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> spoke about how emperumAn<\/a> allowed him to unite with himself when AzhwAr left him thinking that he is unsuitable for emperumAn. In this pAsuram he requests emperumAn \u201cIf you do not wish to allow me to leave, you must allow me to get near you, see you with my eyes and experience you\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n vazhakkodu mARukolanRu adiyAr vENda<\/em> iRaiva \u2013 Oh the supreme being! vazhakkodu mARukoLanRu<\/strong> \u2013 this should be split as odu vazhakkanRu<\/em> and mARukoL vazhakkanRu<\/em> to get the correct meanings. odu<\/em> refers to connection with samsAris (dwellers of materialistic realm). odu <\/em>vazhakkanRu – AzhwAr<\/a> tells emperumAn<\/a> that it is not appropriate for emperumAn to approach a samsAri and stand in front of him. mARukoL vazhakkanRu<\/em> \u2013 unlike people (samsAris) who expect a return of compliment when one helps another, it is not appropriate for emperumAn to expect any return of favour when he gives a benefit to a samsAri. mARu<\/em> \u2013 return of help (as an exchange).<\/p>\n emperumAn asks AzhwAr to explain what he intends saying . . . .<\/p>\n adiyAr vENda izhakkavum kANdum<\/strong> \u2013 in the world we see a leader with noble qualities losing himself and his possessions in order to fulfil the wishes of his followers when they approach him.<\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> counters saying that he will have such a compulsion only if AzhwAr<\/a> is his (emperumAn\u2019s) follower.<\/p>\n iRaiva<\/strong> \u2013 it does not matter whether I am a follower or not. The fact that you are the lord cannot be obliterated. When you are the lord, will it not follow as a natural corollary that I am the follower?<\/p>\n izhappuNdE<\/strong> \u2013 While it may happen in the world that followers (of others) may not have their wishes fulfilled, is there any such loss for your followers?<\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> asks AzhwAr<\/a> \u201cIf you have to obtain whatever you desire without any loss, should you not have some connection with servitorship?\u201d AzhwAr responds\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n emmAtkoNdAgilum yAn vEnda<\/strong> \u2013 this could be rearranged to get Agilum yAm vENda em AtkoNdu<\/em> \u2013 If I say \u201cI too want such and such\u201d you should consider my request [my prayer to you] itself as a kainkaryam<\/em> (service) and fulfil my desire.<\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> further asks AzhwAr<\/a> \u201cWhat is the desire that you wish to have fulfilled \u201d, AzhwAr says …<\/p>\n en kaNgaL thammAr kAttu un mEnichchAy<\/strong> \u2013 you must manifest the beauty of your divine form such that I could see that with these eyes of mine.
