Since he brought perumAL and iLaiya perumAL along the banks of gangA, AzhwAr could be talking about that. One who became great by performing thapas &#8211; viSvAmithran. Here, SrI parAnguSa dhAsar asks nampiLLai &#8220;jIyA (Oh great personality)! Instead of <em>mAmuni koNarndha<\/em>, can we not change it to <em>mAmuni puganRa<\/em> (the great sage spoke about) as an alternate text, and explain it as viSvAmithran explaining the greatness of gangA to perumAL and iLaiya perumAL. AzhwAr could be speaking about that&#8221;. nampiLLai mercifully responds &#8220;We don&#8217;t have the strength\/ability to do so&#8221; [i.e. We don&#8217;t have the ability to change AzhwAr&#8217;s pAsurams]. Alternatively, mAmuni could mean bhagIratha himself [as he also did a great penance] and explain it as gangA which was brought down to earth by bhagIratha.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.<\/p>\n<p>adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/p>\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\nSrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: periya thirumozhi &gt;&gt; First centum &gt;&gt; Fourth decad &lt;&lt; Previous Highlights from avathArikai (Introduction) No specific introduction. pAsuram mAn munindhu oru kAl vari silai vaLaiththa mannavan ponniRaththu uravOn Un munindhu avanadhudal irupiLavA ugir nudhi maduththu ayan aranaith thAn munindhitta vendhiRal sAbam thavirththavan thavam purindhuyarndha mAmunikoNarndha &#8230; <a title=\"periya thirumozhi &#8211; 1.4.8 &#8211; mAn munindhu\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2021\/03\/periya-thirumozhi-1-4-8\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about periya thirumozhi &#8211; 1.4.8 &#8211; mAn munindhu\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,16,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-ayiram","category-periya-thirumozhi","category-periya-thirumozhi-1st-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42479\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
