<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that emperumAn<\/a> will not feel disgusted if samsAris are indifferent to him. In this pAsuram, he says that he will not step back from protecting them even if they insult him either due to love or due to enmity.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n thAmbAl AppuNdAlum aththazhumbudhAn iLaga<\/em> thAmbAl \u2013 with (yaSOdhAppirAtti\u2019s) rope thAmbAl AppuNdAlum<\/strong> \u2013 even if yaSOdhAppirAtti ties him with a rope saying \u201cIsn\u2019t he my son! To punish him when he does any mischief is only beneficial\u201d. The scar created by her when she tied him with a rope is much sought after, similar to the mark which forms when the nAyaka (leader) unites with his beloved nAyaki (leading lady). Hence AzhwAr<\/a> is taking this as an example along with the next (kALia bandhana or tying down by kALiya) :<\/p>\n aththazhumbudhAn iLaga pAmbAl AppuNdu pAduRRAlum<\/strong> \u2013 when he had to suffer so much at the hands of kALiya (a poisonous snake) when being tied down, that it will make the former scar appear insignificant.<\/p>\n sOmbAdhu ippal uruvai ellAm padarviththa viththA<\/strong> \u2013 not stepping back thinking\u00a0 \u201cthe samsAris have insulted me\u201d, creating jIvAthmAs, who are worse than kALiya in their hatred towards emperumAn<\/a>, with the thought \u201cis carrying out an apt deed, \u00a0in any way bad for my dignity?\u201d, emperumAn is the causative factor for all the worlds, creating jIvAthmAs from out of his divine form.<\/p>\n un thol uruvai yAr aRivAr sollu<\/strong> \u2013 could a few people know about your divine form which has been there for a very long time? Please say this yourself. The opinion here is that his svarUpam (basic nature) which remains the same irrespective of whether someone insults him or not, cannot be known by others. AzhwAr<\/a> requests emperumAn<\/a> to clarify this himself.<\/p>\n tholluru<\/strong> \u2013 here, the meaning for saying old svarUpam is the concern which the possessor [emperumAn] has towards the possession [all his creations].<\/p>\n We will take up the 19th<\/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 said that emperumAn will not feel disgusted if samsAris are indifferent to him.
