nammAzhwAr<\/a> instructs “Oh ones who have limited life span! Determine the supreme lord amongst the three (brahmA, vishNu, rudhra) through established means and surrender unto such supreme controller”.<\/p>\n

In this 7th pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> seeing that the samsAris are still reluctant to find out about the supreme, says “Oh ones who have limited lifespan! Analyze who is the supreme and surrender unto him”.<\/p>\n

7th pAsuram. Even after hearing AzhwAr<\/a>‘s instructions, people were saying “we will do as you say” and were still lethargic. AzhwAr<\/a> says “you have limited life span; you are not realising the true and wonderful nature of bhagavAn<\/a> who is the ultimate object to attain; determine the supreme before you die, using proper means and devote yourself towards him” in this pAsuram which is a continuation of the previous pAsuram.<\/p>\n
