AzhwAr<\/a> says in the latter part of the pAsuram as to what is such an activity that emperumAn<\/a> carried out.<\/p>\n mANi uruvAgi nIrERRu ulagam koNda sIrAn thiruvAgam senRu thINdiRRu<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn took the garb of a dwarf bachelor and went to mahAbali to get as alms the three worlds. During this time, he went to feel the worlds [touch them] with his beautiful, divine form. If we desire to see that activity or to speak about that, shouldn\u2019t the heart feel shy? In other words, does it make any meaning to see him falling head over heels to take possession of the three worlds? The opinion here is that even though AzhwAr<\/a> had told his heart in the previous pAsuram \u201ckAN<\/em>\u201d (to see emperumAn<\/a>), the good heart, which has knowledge, should have felt shy to see him and to speak about him. The opinion further here is that while emperumAn has been working since time immemorial to get hold of us, it is not proper on our part to attain him on our own. This indicates the significant superiority of paragatha svIkAram<\/em> (where emperumAn is engaged actively in trying to get hold of the jIvAthmA) over svagatha svIkAram<\/em> (in which the jIvAthmA is making efforts to attain emperumAn).<\/p>\n thiruvAgam thINdiRRu nANappadumanRE<\/strong> \u2013 we can consider this as a re-emphasising of what he himself had mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 1-5<\/a> \u201cvaLavEzhulagu<\/em>\u201d since the heart, which has knowledge,\u00a0 should have felt shy in going about to feel emperumAn<\/a>, considering its [the heart\u2019s] lowliness.<\/p>\n We will take up 21st<\/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 AzhwAr says that even though he told his heart to see emperumAn, considering our svarUpam (basic nature) and his activities, shouldn\u2019t the heart feel shy to see him?
