Since there are a thousand spots, would they appear grotesque? No, they will appear homogeneous, just like <em>narathvam<\/em> and <em>simhathvam<\/em> (the reference here is to <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> who incarnated with the head of a lion and the body of a human).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ayira vAy<\/strong> \u2013 thousand heads.

Due to the touch of <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>, AdhiSEshan\u2019s radiance too gets displayed resplendently. Just as dhaSaratha chakravarthy said in SrI rAmAyaNam ayOdhyA kANdam 12-104 \u201c<em>aham punar dhEvakumArarUpam alankrutham tham suthamAvrajantham<\/em> I <em>nandhAmi paSyannapi dharSanEva bhavAmi dhrushtvaiva punaryuvEva <\/em>\u00a0II\u201d (as soon as I see rAma, my son, who is like a celestial prince and is well decorated, with my inner eyes, I feel overjoyed.

Here too, there is a mention of radiance. What is the difference between these two? The earlier one referred to the naturally occurring radiance of AdhiSEshan, common to the species of snakes while this radiance is occurring due to experiencing <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>. Unlike the radiance of materials which are found in this world, unlike the radiance of emperumAn himself, this is the radiance obtained by constantly enjoying emperumAn. This radiance is not seen in emperumAn too.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst the extraordinary radiance of lustrous carbuncle which is located on thiruvananthAzhwAn\u2019s (AdhiSEshan\u2019s) head, just like rising out of the watery waves of river gangA\u00a0 which is flowing fiercely in white colour, the one who is reclining&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>We will take up the next two lines of the thirumadal in the next article.<\/p>\n<p>adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\nSrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series &lt;&lt; Previous manniya palpoRi sEr Ayira vAy vAL aravin senni maNik kudumith theyvach chuddar naduvuL Word by Word Meaning manniya \u2013 may you live long! pal poRi sEr Ayira vAy vAL aravin \u2013 thiruvananthAzhwAn (AdhiSEshan, the divine mattress for emperumAn), who has many &#8230; <a title=\"periya thirumadal &#8211; 1 &#8211; manniya palpoRi sEr\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2019\/08\/periya-thirumadal-1\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about periya thirumadal &#8211; 1 &#8211; manniya palpoRi sEr\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iyarpa","category-periya-thirumadal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28413\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
