Since that is how it was taught by her in the beginning, the parrot agreed to this. As she said the divine name, it repeated; after it said the name, as the lady started thinking about the meaning of the divine name, rued &#8211; this emperumAn, who would help anyone in danger, is not helping me, and so became weak &#8211; says the divine mother in this pAsuram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Is it possible for his divine name <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-IN\">to<\/span><\/span><\/span> help sustain life at one time, and the same name would weaken us at another <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-IN\">state<\/span><\/span><\/span>? At every different state, the divine name would influence a different effect.
