Full Series<\/a><\/p>\n Previous<\/a><\/p>\n avathArikai (Introduction)<\/strong><\/p>\n This pAsuram describes the nAyakan<\/em> celebrating the nAyaki<\/em> when they are united. Alternatively, it could be taken as a natural doubt raised by the nAyakan<\/em> [after looking at her eyes].<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n ulAginRa keNdai oLiyambu emmAviyai Uduruvak Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n ulAginRa<\/em> –\u00a0 roaming Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n Oh you people who have radiant face having splendorous eyes which are like arrows piercing our lives and which look like fish which keep roaming, and eye-brows which are like cruel and bent bows! Is your place of dwelling SrIvaikuNtam which is inhabited by the followers of sarvESvaran who has as his mattress the divine milky ocean (thiruppARkadal) where conches curved to the right side are pushed to the shore by the waves or is it this earth?<\/p>\n vyAkyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n ulAginRa keNdai<\/strong> \u2013 the innocence of the eyes looks like roaming fish.<\/p>\n oLiyambu<\/strong> \u2013 when the nAyakan<\/em> looks at her, she would not look in his direction; when he is not looking at her, she would look at him. Without his being aware of it, the arrow will come and pierce him.<\/p>\n oLiyambu<\/strong> \u2013 he cannot escape from her eyes<\/p>\n emmAviyai Uduruva<\/strong> \u2013 this will not pierce anyone else. It will pierce us only [says the nAyakan<\/em>}. Even that, it will not do superficially on the skin, but will pierce the prANan<\/em> [vital air; life itself]; even that, it is not superficially but deep down.<\/p>\n kulAginRa venjilai vAL mugaththIr<\/strong> \u2013 [eyebrows are] constantly bent so that when an arrow has to be shot, one need not bend the bow, string it and then take aim; by merely looking at a person, the arrow will be shot immediately. Also, instead of having the bow in the hand, having the bow on the face itself. Oh, such people! Another interpretation: the term vAL<\/em> could be considered as radiance; in this case the meaning will be \u2013 Oh one who has a face with a bent bow and radiance! Her bow [eyebrows] is tormenting him.<\/p>\n kunisangu . . . <\/strong>\u2013 pushing ashore conches which are curved to the right.<\/p>\n pulAginRa<\/strong> \u2013 making a noise, the ocean which has agitating waves and is a mattress for sarvESvaran.<\/p>\n pulAginRa<\/strong> \u2013 it appears to be the time of dawn since the conches keep emitting radiance constantly. Such sarvESvaran who has this ocean as his bed, his<\/p>\n ammAn . . . <\/strong>\u2013 instead of remaining constantly at paramapadham [SrIvaikuNtam] where sarvESvaran holds the court so that both he and the nithyasUris could spend their time together, he enters thiruppARkadal which roars because of his presence and stays there similar to those who set up a house in a place of their liking, with the purpose of protecting the words and reclines. This makes nithyasUris to be amazed at his simplicity. [The nAyakan<\/em> asks the nAyaki<\/em>] Is your residence SrIvaikuNtam which is the dwelling place of such nithyasUris or is it the leelAvibhUthi (materialistic realm) which he visits occasionally and which keeps getting created and destroyed similar to the arrangement of pandhal etc made during festival times? Just as it is said in thiruvAimozhi 3-9-9 \u201cvAnavar nAdu<\/em>\u201d SrIvaikuNtam is the place where the nithyasUris would draw the rules and regulations [since nithyasUris are parathanthrars<\/em> (totally dependent on him) he allows them to run that realm as per their desire]. However, leelAvibhUthi (materialistic realm) has chEthanas (sentient entites) who are svathantharars<\/em> (independent) having ego and possessive qualities. Hence he does not let them rule it as they wish; instead, he rules it by himself. piLLai thirunaRaiyUr araiyar would say \u201cadiyAr nilAginRa vaigundhamO anRikkE avanadhAna vaiyamO?<\/em>\u201d (is it SrIvaikuNtam ruled by nithyasUris or this leelAvibhUthi ruled by sarvESvaran?)<\/p>\n svApadhESam<\/em> (distinguished meaning): those who saw AzhwAr said \u201cThere is none like AzhwAr in both the vibhUthis\u201d. Those who are in nithyavibhUthi are constantly in engagement with bhagavath vishayam (matters relating to sarvESvaran). Those who are here (leelAvibhUthi) are constantly engaging with worldly matters. AzhwAr is distinct from both of them. He is without permanent engagement with bhagavath vishayam [since he is still here]. He is not sustaining himself with food, water etc [like the chEthanas who are here]. Thus this explains how he is outside the nature of both vibhUthis.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series Previous avathArikai (Introduction) This pAsuram describes the nAyakan celebrating the nAyaki when they are united.
