<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that the divine foot [of emperumAn<\/a>] which measured the worlds, came on its own and took residence in his heart. He says further that if anyone tries to control it, it is not possible.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n senRangu vennaragil sErAmal kAppadhaRku<\/em> kAr uruvan thAn \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who has the form of clouds senRu angu vennaragil sErAmal kAppadhaRku inRu ingu en nenjAl idukkuNda<\/strong> \u2013 in order to make sure that we do not get caught in the hell called as samsAram (materialistic realm) and to protect us, the divine feet which went to various worlds and measured them, now, in this world, were hemmed in by my heart.\u00a0 The words vennaragil sErAmal kAppadhaRku<\/em> could also be taken to mean that (the divine feet) would not allow us to go away from emperumAn<\/a>, thinking that we are \u2018unsuitable\u2019 and would protect us. In the first interpretation, the word vennaragu<\/em> would mean samsAram and in the second interpretation, it would mean moving away from emperumAn, considering ourselves as \u2018unsuitable\u2019. For those who have knowledge, wouldn\u2019t both samsAram and moving away from emperumAn be the same?<\/p>\n In the rest of the pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> explains the nature of the divine feet which were hemmed in.<\/p>\n anRangup pAruruvum pAr vaLaiththa nIr uruvum kaN pudhaiyak kAr uruvan nimirththak kAl<\/strong> \u2013 The divine feet, which are hemmed in now, in this world, by my heart, are those which belong to him who, on that day [when mahAbali gave him consent to give land equivalent to vAman\u2019s three steps], took a huge, darkened cloud like form with which he hid all the worlds and the oceans surrounding the worlds.<\/p>\n kAl idukkuNda<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> is amazed that the divine feet, which measured all the worlds, got hemmed in by his heart.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 22nd<\/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 the divine foot [of emperumAn] which measured the worlds, came on its own and took residence in his heart.
