Full Series<\/a><\/p>\n Previous<\/a><\/p>\n avathArikai (Introduction)<\/strong><\/p>\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had felt miserable about time not shortening [to attain sarvESvaran]. A few samsAris, on seeing this, told him \u201cWe are engaged with matters relating to samsAram and are not complaining that time is not lengthening or shortening. We are enjoying the matters relating to samsAram even if time lengthens or shortens. Why don\u2019t you change your involvement from matters relating to bhagavAn and engage with worldly matters?\u201d\u00a0 AzhwAr says \u201cYes, I could do it provided I get a heart which is capable of doing that; my heart knows nothing other than bhagavAn. Even this heart I can engage with, provided he had not stolen it\u201d<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n surunguRi veNNey thoduvuNda kaLvanai vaiyam muRRum Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n surungu<\/em> \u2013 contracted (with the aid of deceptive ropes) Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n My heart will not like anyone other than sarvESvaran who ate butter from the hoop by stealing, who kept all the worlds inside corner of his stomach, who went to mahAbali, seeking alms as a dwarf and made him agree to giving him three steps of land and who is a great means [for attaining himself].<\/p>\n vyAkyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n surunguRi veNNey<\/strong> \u2013 it was a hoop made with deceptive ropes [so that its location would not be known easily].<\/p>\n veNNey thoduvuNda<\/strong> \u2013 he stole the butter and ate it, without disturbing the marks which had been made by the owners of butter.<\/p>\n kaLvanai<\/strong> \u2013 he stole the concept of stealing itself; thus some people [who had lost their butter] said \u201cThis could not have been stolen by people; did Gods steal our butter? Did we not keep butter inside that?\u201d<\/p>\n vaiyam . . . <\/strong>\u2013 while his stomach got filled up with butter, when he swallowed all the worlds [during deluge], it did not fill up even half his stomach. The implication here is that he would be able to sustain himself with a material touched by his followers while his mind was not much enthused about protecting the worlds.<\/p>\n mAvali mAttu<\/strong> \u2013 he approached and attained a demonic entity; AzhwAr says that sarvESvaran should have attained him who desired only sarvESvaran and none else.<\/p>\n irunguRaLAgi<\/strong> \u2013 being a huge dwarf [The word iru<\/em> which means huge is used as a viparIthalakshaNam <\/em>here \u2013 meaning exactly the opposite]. His short stature was such that among the dwarfs of the world, the shortest dwarf would appear like thrivikraman in his presence.<\/p>\n isaiya<\/strong> \u2013 he did all the work to make mahAbali to agree to his request; making mahAbali\u2019s acceptance to be under his control. Though there were others (sukrAchAryar) who did not want mahAbali to accede to his request, sarvESvaran made mahAbali to accept.<\/p>\n Or mUvadi vENdichchenRa<\/strong> \u2013 instead of asking for two steps and measuring with both the steps, he asked for three steps and measured with two steps so that he could imprison mahAbali with the third step.<\/p>\n vENdichcchenRa perungiRiyAnai allAl<\/strong> \u2013 he went in such a way that his quality of sarva nirapEksham<\/em> \u2013 \u2018not desiring anything\u2019 was not manifested. He went such that mahAbali thought \u201cUnless I give him what he wants, he cannot sustain himself\u201d. He hid his quality of ISvarathvam<\/em> \u2013 controlling everyone. He went asking for alms to make it appear that one who does not have any desire unfulfilled, came with a desire. He took such a form that it created mercy in mahAbali.<\/p>\n perungiRiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 a hugely clever person.<\/p>\n adiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr is not like mahAbali, about to give something. He is not like indhra [head of celestial entities] too, waiting to obtain one. He is one who has lost out to that activity of sarvESvaran\u2019s and made himself as a servitor to sarvESvaran.<\/p>\n nenjam pENaladhE<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0 he will not desire even the supremacy of the supreme entity, just like hanuman did in SrI rAmAyaNam uththara kANdam 40-15 \u201cbhAvO nAnyathra gachchathi<\/em>\u201d (my thoughts will not go to anyone other than you0<\/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) In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had felt miserable about time not shortening [to attain sarvESvaran].
