<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> mentioned that whether emperumAn<\/a> protects or not, only he is to be attained since he is naturally related to us. In this pAsuram he proves through both anvayam<\/em> and vyathirEkam<\/em> (connection and difference or affirmative and negative aspects) that emperumAn is the protector and he says that there is no question of emperumAn not protecting us.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n thAnE thaniththOnRal thannaLapponRillAdhAn<\/em> thanith thOnRal thAnE \u2013 he is the only one who has incomparable incarnations thAnE thaniththOnRal<\/strong> \u2013 he is the only one who incarnates, without any comparison. Unlike jIvAthmAs who are born out of their karma (past deeds), emperumAn<\/a> takes incarnations on his own volition, in order to uplift the jIvAthmAs. Hence AzhwAr<\/a> refers to him as thaniththOnRal<\/em>. The implied meaning is that this term, on its own, establishes the fact that he is the protector.<\/p>\n To a question whether there is anyone else who does like this, AzhwAr responds\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n thannaLapponRillAdhAn<\/strong> \u2013 he is one who does not have any other entity (who or) which can be considered as comparison.\u00a0 Hence the opinion is that there is no one else who can protect.<\/p>\n thAnE piRargatkum thaRROnRal<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is mentioned in bruhadhAraNyaka upanishath 5-7 \u201cEsha tha AthmA antharyAmyamrutha:<\/em>\u201d (only this paramapurusha<\/em> (supreme entity) who is the sarvAntharyAmi<\/em> (indwelling soul of all) has amruthathvam<\/em> (does not have death) and remains as your indwelling soul), he remains as the indwelling soul for all, other than himself, and is the reason for their existence, behaviour and activities. It is implied through this that when all the others are under his control, there can be no place for doubting whether he is the protector for all.<\/p>\n thAnE iLaikkil pAr kIzh mElAm<\/strong> \u2013 If he momentarily steps back from protecting others, the earth will turn turtle. Since earth has not become topsy turvy, the implied meaning is that he protects at all times. Through vyathirEkam<\/em> (negation) AzhwAr<\/a> establishes, thus far, that emperumAn<\/a> is the protector.<\/p>\n Now, through anvayam<\/em> (connection or assertion) he establishes the same fact.<\/p>\n mINdu amaippAnAnAl<\/strong> \u2013 when all the sentient entities become identical to insentient entities, during the time of deluge, and merge with him, if emperumAn decides in his divine mind that he should protect them and creates them (again)<\/p>\n aLakkiRpAr pArin mEl Ar<\/strong> \u2013 who can estimate his qualities of being the indwelling soul of all entities, looking after their existence, providing them with SAsthras (sacred texts), incarnating etc and protecting them?<\/p>\n We will move on to the 25th<\/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 mentioned that whether emperumAn protects or not, only he is to be attained since he is naturally related to us.
