<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> had requested emperumAn<\/a> to show him his divine physical form. Once he thinks of the divine physical form of emperumAn, he starts moving away from emperumAn again, saying \u201cSeeing such a distinguished divine form with these eyes is an inappropriate activity\u201d. He says that his approaching emperumAn is much similar to the way pUthanA (the demon who tried to kill infant krishNa) approached emperumAn.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n sAyAl kariyAnai uLLaRiyArAy nenjE<\/em> nenjE \u2013 Oh my mind! sAyAl kariyAnai<\/strong> \u2013 sAyal<\/em> refers to complexion. Thus, one who is black in complexion.<\/p>\n uL aRiyArAy<\/strong> \u2013 not knowing how to enjoy, after entering; not knowing that the supreme being has come down as an infant, crying for mother\u2019s milk and, not knowing as to how to engage with that simplicity. We can also construe this as meaning that she (pUthanA) did not know that it is actually sarvESvaran who has come down.<\/p>\n nenjE pEyAr mulai koduththAr pEyarAy<\/strong> \u2013 Oh my mind! pUthanA did not engage with deceit after taking birth as a human being. Did she not engage with that deceitful act because she was a fiend?<\/p>\n nI yAr<\/strong> \u2013 when compared to her, what a lowly entity are you [AzhwAr<\/a> tells his mind]! When looking at you, who should have been engaging with SAsthras (sacred texts), hailing from the human birth but instead are harming emperumAn<\/a>, pUthanA appears to be fit for being considered as a nithyasUris!<\/p>\n thEmbUN suvaiththu UNaRindhu aRindhum thIvinaiyAm pAmbAr vAy kai nIttal pArththi<\/strong> \u2013 you are engaging\u00a0 with worldly pursuits of Sabdha, sparSa, rUpa, rasa, gandha (the five senses of sound, touch, form, taste and smell) even after knowing very well that these pursuits will keep eroding the nature of AthmA. This is similar to a person putting out his hand inside the mouth of a (poisonous) snake. How are you related to pUthanA? In this interpretation, the word nI yAr<\/em> wonders whether one is related to pUthanA. The word pOy<\/em> could be added to suvaiththu<\/em> or to kai nIttal pArththi<\/em>. The opinion here is that despite knowing that the result of engaging repeatedly with worldly pursuits is only ruinous for AthmA, you [reference here is to AzhwAr<\/a>\u2019s mind] are repeatedly putting out your hand inside the mouth of the poisonous snake, which is what samsAram is. The word thEmbUN<\/em> refers to worldly pursuits which cause ruin to AthmA\u2019s nature. Alternatively, thEmbUN<\/em> could refer to bringing a bad name to emperumAn<\/a> by the heart by its being unsuitable to approach emperumAn and the heart repeatedly carrying out this. Thus this will mean that the heart, knowing well that its approaching emperumAn will bring bad name to emperumAn, is repeatedly doing this, just like one puts out his hand into the mouth of a poisonous snake. In both interpretations, it is clear that you are much lowlier than pUthanA. The end letter Ar<\/em> in pEyAr, pAmbAr<\/em> would indicate the nature of cruelty brought about by these entities.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 15th<\/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 In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had requested emperumAn to show him his divine physical form.
