This implies that emperumAn<\/a> would like to be dependent on his followers by being servile to them, just as people say that they like something bitter or they like something sour.<\/p>\n Where have we seen this behaviour in emperumAn?<\/p>\n dhAmOdharanAr<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that we have seen such a behaviour when he was tied down to a mortar by his mother yaSOdhA through his stomach and beaten for stealing butter. The word dhAmOdhara<\/em> means stomach being tied by a rope. The word adimai<\/em> refers to being servile. Alternatively adimai<\/em> could refer to followers [of emperumAn<\/a>] and the meaning would change to [emperumAn] being affectionate towards his followers who are servile to him.<\/p>\n dhAmOdharanAr thamakku adimai sey enRAl seyyAdhu<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that when he tells his heart to carry out service to kaNNa (krishNa) who is the follower of his followers, his heart does not carry this out.<\/p>\n emakkenRu thAm seyyem thIvinaikkE thAzhvuRuvar<\/strong> \u2013 he [the heart] will be stubborn saying \u201cI will do whatever I want\u201d and will carry out inappropriate acts only. Here the word thAm seyyum thIvinai<\/em> refers to the act of moving away from emperumAn<\/a> considering itself as \u2018unsuitable\u2019. The long syllable in thIvinaikkE<\/strong><\/em> implies that the heart is wont to doing this often.<\/p>\n nenjinAr<\/strong> \u2013 the elderly person who goes in his own way instead of listening to me!<\/p>\n yAm seyvadhu ivvidaththu ingu yAdhu<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn is keen on taking us as his follower. The heart is keen on moving away from emperumAn<\/a>. The opinion here is that AzhwAr<\/a> is indecisive on whether to listen to his possession [heart] or to carry out as per emperumAn, who is the possessor.<\/p>\n We will take up the 32nd<\/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 while he is decisive in carrying out service to emperumAn his heart steps back, thinking \u201cIt is not proper on our part who have connection with this body to approach him\u201d.
