<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> had said that one should attain emperumAn<\/a> by offering something or the other. In this pAsuram, he says that when he goes near emperumAn in order to attain him, his limbs become very weak and he is unable to approach him. This pAsuram is an example of how AzhwArs<\/a> become ecstatic when they are deep in devotion.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n pAlAzhi nI kidakkum paNbai yAm kEttEyum<\/em> neel Azhi \u2013 like a dark ocean neelAzhich chOdhiyAy pAlAzhi nI kidakkum<\/strong> \u2013 The way emperumAn<\/a>, with his dark, effulgent complexion is reclining on the milky ocean is similar to a black ocean reclining on a white ocean.<\/p>\n nI kidakkum<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is mentioned in thirumAlai 23<\/a> \u201ckidandhadhOr kidakkai<\/em>\u201d, isn\u2019t emperumAn\u2019s beautiful posture in the reclining state much superior to his beautiful states in standing or sitting postures!<\/p>\n paNbai yAm kEttEyum<\/strong> \u2013 The moment I hear about your reclining posture. How much will AzhwAr<\/a>, who suffers so much on just hearing about the beauty of emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s reclining posture in the milky ocean, suffer if he sees him directly? AzhwAr next describes how he suffers on hearing about emperumAn\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n kAlAzhum nenjazhiyum kaN suzhalum<\/strong> \u2013 my legs will become weak. My mind will flutter. My eyes will spin around in bewilderment. The term kAl<\/em> is representative of all the five organs of activity (hands, legs, mouth, reproductive and anal organs) while the term kaN<\/em> is representative of all the five organs of senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin). periyAzhwAr<\/a> mercifully describes similar emotions in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 5-3-5 \u201ckAlum ezhA kaNNa nIrum nillA udal sOrndhu nadungi kural mElumezhA mayirkkUchchumaRA ena thOLgaLum vIzhvozhiyA mAlugaLA niRkum en mananE <\/em>\u201d (my legs do not move out from the place where they were; my tears are not retained inside; the body is in a shambles and I am not able to speak; gooseflesh happens continuously and the shoulders droop down; my mind is utterly bewildered). Didn\u2019t thoNdaraippodi AzhwAr<\/a> also mercifully say in thirumAlai 19<\/a> \u201caravaNaiththuyilumAkaNdu udalenakku urugumAlO<\/em>\u201d (after seeing the reclining posture of emperumAn<\/a> on AdhiSEshan, my body melts) and in thirumAlai 18<\/a> \u201ckaNNanaikkaNda kaNgaL paniyarumbudhirumAlO<\/em>\u201d (my eyes, after seeing the divine form of kaNNan (krishNa) have not stopped shedding tears)!<\/p>\n Is it only the beauty of emperumAn which is making AzhwAr<\/a> to behave like this? . . . .<\/p>\n AdhiyAy<\/strong> \u2013 Oh the one who created me and who is the ordained lord for me!<\/p>\n tholvinai em pAl kadiyum nIdhiyAy<\/strong> \u2013 Oh one who has the nature of removing my sins which have been there since time immemorial! The implied meaning is that apart from being beautiful and the ordained lord, emperumAn<\/a> is also the benefactor who removes the enemies (in this case, sins).<\/p>\n niRchArndhu ninRu<\/strong> \u2013 holding on to you.<\/p>\n We will move on to the 35th<\/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 had said that one should attain emperumAn by offering something or the other.
