The benefit that sarvESvaran had done for AzhwAr was that he had stopped the interest in worldly pursuits and created interest in matters related to him, when AzhwAr was unable to seclude himself without speaking about it or could not remain without speaking either (about these two \u2013 refraining from worldly pursuits and engaging with matters relating to bhagavAn). In this pAsuram, he says that all the ingredients to attain sarvESvaran are not available here. Since you [refers to sarvESvaran] have given up, does it mean that I too [refers to AzhwAr], who am capable of carrying out your tasks, should give them up? When all the chEthanas [sentient entities] were lying like achEthana entities during the time of deluge, you had granted the qualities which are exclusive to chEthanas and the knowledge to choose between what is to be acquired and what is to be discarded. The reason for granting them this was for them to decide as to what is the end goal for them and how to attain that. However, since that knowledge is common with engaging with worldly pursuits and being firmly rooted in them, due to their association with karmas (deeds, both good and bad) since time immemorial, with that knowledge these chEthanas have been engaging with worldly pursuits. Thus, since you made them engage with worldly pursuits, your situation has become similar to a mother who was unable to prevent her child from falling into the well and was accused of having pushed that child into the well.<\/p>\n<p>Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n<p><em>vaNangum thuRai palapalavAkki madhivigaRpAl<br \/>\n<\/em><em>piNangum samayangaL palapalavAkki avai avaidhORu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>ANangum palapalavAkki nin mUrththi parappi vaiththAy<br \/>\n<\/em><em>iNangu ninnOrai illAy ninkaN vEtkai ezhuvippanE<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>vaNangum<\/em> \u2013 to attain (other deities)<br \/>\n<em>pala pala<\/em> \u2013 many<br \/>\n<em>thuRaigaL<\/em> \u2013 various deities who instruct<br \/>\n<em>Akki<\/em> \u2013 created<br \/>\n<em>madhi vigaRpAl<\/em> \u2013 due to difference in intellect<br \/>\n<em>piNangum<\/em> \u2013 disagreeing<br \/>\n<em>palapala<\/em> \u2013 of many types<br \/>\n<em>samayam<\/em> \u2013 philosophies<br \/>\n<em>Akki<\/em> \u2013 created<br \/>\n<em>avaiyavaidhORu<\/em> \u2013 among all those philosophies<br \/>\n<em>ninmUrththi<\/em> \u2013 as your forms<br \/>\n<em>palapala<\/em> \u2013 of many types<br \/>\n<em>aNangum<\/em> \u2013 deities<br \/>\n<em>Akki<\/em> \u2013 created as being apt to be attained<br \/>\n<em>parappi vaiththAy<\/em> \u2013 you created expansively<br \/>\n<em>iNangu<\/em> \u2013 (with those deities) appearing to be a match<br \/>\n<em>ninnOrai<\/em> \u2013 those who are an equal to you<br \/>\n<em>illAy<\/em> \u2013 Oh, one who doesn\u2019t have!<br \/>\n<em>ninkaN<\/em> \u2013 towards you<br \/>\n<em>vEtkai<\/em> \u2013 desire<br \/>\n<em>ezhuvippanE<\/em> \u2013\u00a0 I will create<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You have created many different paths for people to attain their goals; you created many different philosophies due to differences in the levels of intellect and deities, who are all part of your form, for those philosophies.

The word <em>thuRai<\/em> refers to sacred water and through that, it refers to celestial entities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>madhi . . . <\/strong>\u2013 due to bewilderment in their knowledge as well as differences with one another, when one person enunciates his philosophy, another person takes it as something which opposes his philosophy.

Just as the saying goes \u201c<em>paisal kaisunOy mukkaisu<\/em>\u201d (even the small sufferings of a child are serious diseases), you had created lack of knowledge in these chEthanas, you created those who tell such chEthanas that attaining only lowly deities are apt for them and you also created pAsurams (hymns) in those SAsthras (sacred texts) extolling those deities and you created the deities too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>iNangu ninnOrai illAy<\/strong> \u2013 if you create a maze of such philosophies and deities for those philosophies, there is none through whom these could be\u00a0 avoided.
