<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> was sad that emperumAn<\/a> was not showing any mercy on him and that emperumAn was not showing himself to him.\u00a0 Hearing this, emperumAn tells him \u201cCould you feel sad like this? Did I not create a craving in you, making you to yearn to see me? \u201d which makes AzhwAr feel very proud. As a result, he says in this pAsuram \u201cThere is none comparable to me\u201d.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n puviyum iruvisumbum\u00a0 ninnagaththa nIyen<\/em> Un parugu nEmiyAy \u2013 Oh one who has the chakra (disc) which drinks up the blood of enemies!<\/p>\n puviyum \u2013 this world (which is made of primordial matter)<\/p>\n iruvisumbum \u2013 the expansive land of paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) which is not made of primordial matter<\/p>\n nin agaththa \u2013 are under your control<\/p>\n nI \u2013 you (who are as mentioned above)<\/p>\n en seivyin vazhi pugundhu \u2013 entering through my ear<\/p>\n avivinRi \u2013 without any interruption<\/p>\n en uLLAy \u2013 exist inside me<\/p>\n nAn periyan \u2013 am I greater (between the two of us)?<\/p>\n nI periyai \u2013 Are you the greater?<\/p>\n enbadhanai \u2013 this matter<\/p>\n yAr aRivAr \u2013 who could know?<\/p>\n uLLu \u2013 think (yourself)<\/p>\n puviyum iruvisumbum ninnagaththa<\/strong> \u2013 both this leelA vibhUthi (materialistic realm) and nithya vibhUthi (the spiritual realm) exist due to your will. The word puvi<\/em> refers to the entire materialistic realm (created by emperumAn<\/a> for his pastime) and the word iruvisumbu<\/em> refers to the ethereal layer of paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam).<\/p>\n nI en seviyin vazhi pugundhu avivinRi ennuLLAy<\/strong> \u2013 you take your existence in my heart permanently, by entering through my ears.<\/p>\n yAn periyAn nI periyai enbadhanai yAr aRivAr<\/strong> \u2013 Are you, the controller of these two realms, the greater between the two of us or am I, who had now taken you, the controller of the two realms, inside of me, the greater between the two of us? Who will know this?<\/p>\n Un parugu nEmiyAy uLLu<\/strong> \u2013 Since you are having the disc, which drinks up the blood of all enemies, in your hand, you have unbridled power of knowledge. Hence, you please give an answer to this query.<\/p>\n For the second part of this pAsuram, another interpretation is provided by knowledgeable persons.<\/p>\n avivinRi yAn periyan<\/strong> \u2013 Since I have kept you, who control both the realms, inside me, without any doubt, I am the greater between the two of us.<\/p>\n nI periyai enbadhanai yAr aRivAr<\/strong> \u2013 When this is the fact, who will know that you are greater between us?<\/p>\n Since AzhwAr<\/a> has mercifully called himself as great (periyan<\/em>) in this pAsuram, AzhwAr is known by the name periyAn<\/em> in AzhwArthirunagari<\/em><\/a>, the place of his birth. Even though this prabandham has only 87 pAsurams, people will say that this is the reason why it is called as periya thiruvandhAdhi<\/em> (the great thiruvandhAdhi).<\/p>\n We will move on to the 76th<\/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 was sad that emperumAn was not showing any mercy on him and that emperumAn was not showing himself to him.\u00a0 Hearing this, emperumAn tells him \u201cCould you feel sad like this?
