<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n emperumAn<\/a> is one who removes hurdles of chEthanas (sentient entities). AzhwAr<\/a> says that for those who do not attain such emperumAn, it is not possible to overcome the mental agonies which they suffer in this world.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n avayam ena ninaindhu vandha surar pAlE<\/em> avayam ena ninaindhu \u2013 thinking (of you) as the refuge avayam ena ninaindhu vandha surar pAlE navayai naLirvippAn thannai<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is said in SrI vishNu purANam 1-9-35 \u201cyadhAvath kathithO dhEvair brahmA prAha thatha: surAn<\/em> I parAvarESam SaraNam vrajadhvamasurArdhanam<\/em> II\u201d (brahmA, who was well informed by dhEvas (celestial entities) of their troubles, told them \u201csurrender to bhagavAn who is the lord for all without any distinction between lofty and lowly people and who is the enemy for demons\u201d), emperumAn<\/a> is one who will make the troubles of dhEvas, who approach him saying abhayam<\/em> (refuge,) to tremble and disappear. The word navai<\/em> refers to troubles; this could also be taken to refer to sins which are the cause of troubles.<\/p>\n kavaiyil manaththu uyara vaiththirundhu vAzhththAdhArkku uNdo manaththuyarai mAykkum vagai<\/strong> \u2013 Is there any way by which mental agonies could be removed for those who do not keep emperumAn<\/a> in their doubtless minds in a lofty place and who do not praise him? The word kavai<\/em> refers to doubt \u2013 should we hold on to sensory perceptions such as Sabdha<\/em> (sound) etc or should we hold on to emperumAn? Or it could refer to the doubt as to whether we should move away from emperumAn since we do not have the necessary quality to be with him or should we not leave emperumAn. Keeping emperumAn in a lofty place in the mind would mean that we think of him as our means, our goal, our sustenance, our nourishment and our enjoyment.<\/p>\n We will take up the 44th<\/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 emperumAn is one who removes hurdles of chEthanas (sentient entities).
