AzhwAr, who had praised his heart in the 1st<\/sup> pAsuram saying mundhuRRa <\/em>nenjE (Oh my mind which is preceding me) is saying this now, considering its nature of not involving with matters relating to emperumAn since time immemorial, before he sang the first pAsuram.<\/p>\n vAzhththi avan adiyaip pUppunaindhu nin thalaiyaith thAzhththu, iru kai kUppu enRAl kUppAdha en nenjamE<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr tells his heart \u201cOh heart who is not cupping your palms when I ask you to praise emperumAn, offer flowers to his divine feet, bow down your head to his divine feet and cup your palms in anajali<\/em> posture!\u201d Since his head and hands were under the control of his heart for a very long time, AzhwAr is referring to them as the head and hands of his heart.<\/p>\n avanai enguRRAy enRu EththAdhu thangaththAnAmElum thangu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 6-8-5<\/a> \u201cenguch chenRAgilum kaNdu<\/em>\u201d (seeking and seeing wherever emperumAn goes), AzhwAr tells his heart, \u201cIf you can sustain yourself without seeking emperumAn with fervour and praising him, do remain in one place and sustain yourself\u201d<\/p>\n pAzhththa vidhi<\/strong> \u2013 how terrible that such a destiny is befalling us! Through this , we can either take it that AzhwAr is disgusted with himself since he keeps leaving emperumAn\u2019s presence saying \u201cI am unsuitable\u201d or that he is disgusted with his twin deeds (of pApa and puNya) which are a stumbling block for him in attaining emperumAn. Since AzhwAr is saying vAzhththi<\/em> and EththAdhu<\/em>, we can consider these to belong to the faculty of speech and since he is saying pUppunaindhu<\/em> and thalaiyaith thAzhththu<\/em> we can consider these to belong to the faculty of action and that AzhwAr is instructing his mind that it is impossible not to involve with emperumAn with all the three faculties (of thought, speech and action).<\/p>\n We will move on to the 85th<\/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 continues to fault his heart, in this pAsuram.
