(who cannot be estimated) ninaiththiRainji mAnidavar onRu irappar enRE nI ninaiththidavum vENdA<\/strong> \u2013 [AzhwAr<\/a> tells emperumAn] Do not think that other samsAris are \u201cthinking of me, falling at my feet but unlike you [AzhwAr] they do not ask for me as the benefit; they are asking for lowly benefits\u201d.<\/p>\n nErE ninaiththiRainja evvaLavar evvidaththOr<\/strong> \u2013 who can think clearly that you are the natural means and goal? From which place and with what level of knowledge could they think this way? The implied meaning here is that only nithyars (permanent dwellers of paramapadham) and mukthars (those who have got liberated from samsAram and have attained paramapadham) could think this way.<\/p>\n mAlE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh the great entity! The opinion is that those with very low levels of knowledge cannot think of a great entity such as emperumAn and arrive at a conclusion that emperumAn is like this or that these are his qualities.<\/p>\n adhu thAnum evvaLavum uNdO emakku<\/strong> \u2013 Do I have such lowly quality that these samsAris have, of seeking other benefits from you? For persons like me who have your grace, there is no connection with other lowly benefits. It is no wonder that other samsAris, who do not have your blessing, ask for other benefits from you. The opinion is that emperumAn cannot dislike them because of this.<\/p>\n We will take up the 48th<\/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 tells AzhwAr \u201cYou are considering me as the means and goal and keep praising me to spend your time.
