Subsequently – AzhwAr<\/a> thus tries to move away losing hope. Seeing that, emperumAn<\/a> shows his great attachment towards his devotees saying “I will not fail those who are bound to me; I cannot sustain myself without them; there is no disrepute for me in being with you and you can see that yourself in my history” and AzhwAr<\/a> becomes consoled after seeing that.<\/p>\n

Eighth pAsuram – When AzhwAr<\/a> tries to leave like this, emperumAn<\/a> thinks “He is quite brave; he should be made to understand” and asks AzhwAr “Oh AzhwIr! Have you not heard about the incidents in thiruvAyppAdi (gOkulam)?”\u00a0 AzhwAr replies “I am unaware of that” desiing to hear about it from emperumAn<\/a>. emperumAn says “Once upon a time, I rescued the earth and protected it by keeping in my stomach; Subsequently, I released it; I then thought that there may be residue in my stomach – so to have them digested properly, I consumed some butter in gOkulam”.\u00a0AzhwAr<\/a> questions “Both events happened at different times. What is the relationship?”\u00a0emperumAn<\/a> then asks “So, you tell me – why did I do that?” AzhwAr<\/a> replies “Because you sustain yourself with the things which are touched by your devotees [butter churned by the cowherd girls], you consumed the butter”. emperumAn<\/a> says “Just like that butter, you too are very dear to me. In that case, if you don’t present yourself to me, you will reach the same hell as those who hid the butter away from me”. In this pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> repeats emperumAn’s words thinking that he has understood emperumAn’s desire.<\/p>\n

Simple transalation (based on vAdhi kEsari azhagiya maNavALa jIyar<\/a>‘s 12000 padi)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oh amazing person (who does not get impacted negatively even while mixing with everyone in all aspects)! Once upon a time, you consumed all the worlds and spat them out. Subsequently, you descended as an insignificant human being bound in a body (that is generally considered to be avoided). You ate butter to keep away the indigestion that occurs to humans. Is eating ghee a medicine to dissolve the residual soil? (No).<\/p>\n

Consuming the world is also to protect the devotees (jIvAthmA<\/a>s); consuming the butter also is to highlight that emperumAn<\/a> cannot sustain without the things which are touched by his devotees. Here veNNey<\/em> (butter) and ney<\/em> (ghee) are used as synonyms.<\/p>\n
