I will instruct you a good way to come out, listen to me. Get rid of the bewilderment of looking at your body as the soul, meditate on the first line of thiruviruththam, a divine prabandham mercifully composed by nammAzhwAr, live without any burden and attempt to separate the soul which is distinct from this body so as to reach SrIvaikuNtam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam (commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The vyAkhyAnam for this thaniyan has been written by piLLailOkam jIyar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first line shows the fault of samsAram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n karuviruththak kuzhi nIththapin<\/strong> \u2013 this speaks about the first stage among the seven stages of life, viz. being in the womb, being born, being an infant, being young, reaching old age, death and being punished in hell. The term karu<\/em> refers to being in the womb. iruththak kuzhi<\/em> refers to the pit which has been placed. Mother is like a bag which has been kept to hold the foetus. Alternatively, when considered as viruththak kuzhi<\/em>, this could also refer to the repeated births in samsAram (viruththam <\/em>in samskrutham refers to ring, rotating repeatedly).\u00a0 kuzhi nIththapin<\/em> \u2013 getting rid of the womb and entering the stage of being an infant who is without any knowledge, experiencing the sorrows of that stage (expecting assistance from mother even for taking bath, eating etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n kAmak kadum kuzhi vIzhndhu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it says in thiruvAimozhi 7-8-7 \u201cthuyaram sey kAmangaLAy<\/em>\u201d (desires which inflict sorrows), periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 5-2-7 \u201cvazhukki angOr muzhaiyinil pukkittu azhundhikkidandhu uzhalvEnai<\/em>\u201d (slipping into a cave called as hell (samsAram) and roaming inside it without knowing the way out), periya thirumozhi 6-3-4 \u201csAndhEndhu menmulaiyAr thadandhOL puNar inba veLLaththu AzhndhEn arunaragaththu azhundhum payan padaiththEn<\/em>\u201d ((in earlier days) I had immersed in the ocean of pleasures by embracing the rounded shoulders of women who had applied vermillion on their bosoms. As a result of this, I attained the result of being in the quagmire of cruel hell, called as samsAram), falling into the cruel pit of lust<\/p>\n\n\n\n oru viruththam pukku<\/strong> \u2013 after exhausting the phase of being engaged with worldly pursuits, entering old age which is unique. thirumangai AzhwAr mercifully described the fault in old age in his periya thirumozhi pAsuram 1-3-1 \u201cmuRRa mUththuk kOl thuNaiyA<\/em>\u201d ((being infirm) having a stick as support after attaining complete old age).<\/p>\n\n\n\n uzhaluRuvIr<\/strong> \u2013 calling out to those who are repeatedly suffering the pain of old age, death and punishment in hell. They keep going continuously between the mother\u2019s womb and the lasso of yama, when he pulls the AthmA for undergoing punishment in hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, oru viruththam pukku<\/em> would also refer to engaging in improper conduct and getting entrapped in such behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of getting trapped like this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n uyirin poruLgatku<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it is mentioned in thiruvAimozhi pAsuram 1-2-10 \u201cannalaththu oNporuL<\/em>\u201d (jIvAthma entities (souls) which have distinguished qualities such as knowledge etc), for the jIvAthmAs who are qualified to enjoy the experience of emperumAn. If the text is uyirin poruLukku<\/em>, it would refer to the benefits of jIvAthmAs instead of benefits of the physical bodies in which they reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n oru viruththam pugudhAmal<\/strong> \u2013 instead of entering even a part of such avoidable obstacles. Not approaching any of such poor conducts. This AzhwAr himself (nammAzhwAr) has said in thiruviruththam pAsuram 9 \u201cnadAviya kURRam<\/em>\u201d (the lord of death who rules over cupid; in other words, one can overcome even death, but it is almost impossible to overcome the attraction of lustful objects). nammAzhwAr has also said in (a) thiruvAimozhi 10-2-5 \u201cippiRappu aRukkum<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn will rid the jIvAthmA of this samsAram), (b) thiruvAimozhi 6-2-9 \u201cazhiththAy un thiruvadiyAl<\/em>\u201d (destroyed with your divine feet), (c) thiruvAimozhi 1-7-2 \u201cadiyarai valvinaiththuppAm pulan aindhum thunjak kodAn<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn will not let his followers to be annihilated being caught in the five senses which stroll through the strong karmas (deeds)), (d) thiruvAimozhi 3-3-9 \u201cOyum mUppup piRappu iRappu<\/em>\u201d((emperumAn will get rid of) old age, repeated births and deaths which create tiredness), (e) periya thiruvandhAdhi 23 \u201ciLaikka naman thamargaL paRRi iLaippeydha nAy thandhu mOdhAmal nalguvAn<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn will shower his mercy on us such that the followers of yama (the lord of justice) will not trouble us by catching us firmly and by letting dogs on us) and (f) thirumazhisai AzhwAr in nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 88 \u201cuyir koNdu udal ozhiya Odum pOdhu Odi ayarvenRa thIrppAn<\/em>\u201d (when the followers of yama take the follower of emperumAn\u2019s AthmA from the body (to punish it in hell), emperumAn runs on his own and removes the hurdles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n kurugaiyar kOn uraiththa<\/strong> \u2013 mercifully spoken by satakOpan, the leader of thirukkurugUr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruviruththaththu Oradi kaRRu irIr<\/strong> \u2013 recite one line in thiruviruththam which was composed as the first prabandham (divine hymn, among the four divine hymns) by nammAzhwAr. One line is enough for uplifting yourself. Learn it through the method of \u201cAchArya uchchAraNa anuchchAraNa<\/em>\u201d (AchArya (one\u2019s teacher) would recite a line or phrase once; the disciple will recite the same, twice) and be firmly rooted in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why should this be recited?<\/p>\n\n\n\n thirunAttagaththE<\/strong> \u2013 In order to reach SrIvaikuNtam. One can attain SrIvaikuNtam by meditating on one\u2019s shortcomings such as ignorance etc. If one were fully engaged in matters relating to emperumAn, no hurdle will enter. Reciting the hymns of others will be a cause for bondage in samsAram whereas reciting the hymns of nammAzhwAr is the cause for liberation from samsAram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, by learning the good words of nammAzhwAr from one\u2019s AchArya and reciting them, one can sustain oneself without any fear, getting rid of samsAram and attaining the distinguished paramapadham<\/em> (SrIvaikuNtam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, we will take up the vyAkhyAna pravESam (introduction to the commentary) mercifully written by periyavAchchAn piLLai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n adiyen krishNa ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n\n\n\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series The thaniyan (special hymn) for this prabandham has been written by kidAmbi AchchAn.
