Whatever is known as &#8220;pAr&#8221;. emperumAn placed everything known as earth in his stomach during deluge and subsequently let them out to relieve them from suffocation and to let them see the outside.<\/p>\n<p>When asked &#8220;Who protects in all these ways?&#8221; AzhwAr says,<\/p>\n<p><em>pavaLath thUNai<\/em> &#8211; One who is desirable for all and who is the sustainer.<\/p>\n<p><em>padu kadalalil amudhaththai<\/em> &#8211; The ocean where precious gems are present; alternatively &#8211; the ocean which is deep; depth is said as in &#8220;<em>maduppattadhu<\/em>&#8221; (that which is very deep). The purpose of this attribute\/quality is &#8211; the enjoyable one who is present where good things are present; when spoken about depth, it implies that he is difficult to attain.<\/p>\n<p><em>pari vAy kINda<\/em> &#8211; One who is capable of eliminating powerful hurdles just as he tore the mouth of kESi. pari &#8211; horse; one who has the wealth of valour to tear the mouth of horse.<\/p>\n<p><em>emmAnai<\/em> &#8230; &#8211; He engaged in a very dangerous act [while killing kEsi]. One who enslaved me completely by being caught by it [the demon in horse form] and escaping from it.<\/p>\n<p><em>thoNdar &#8230;<\/em> &#8211; emperumAn cannot be said to be free from change etc; he cannot be said as eternally unchanging; happened as said in thaiththirIya upanishath &#8220;<em>santhamEnam<\/em>&#8221; (to be existing); while AthmA is said to be eternally unchanging, it is said in thaiththirIya upanishath as &#8220;<em>asannEva<\/em>&#8221; (not to be existing) and &#8220;<em>santhamEnam<\/em>&#8221; (to be existing) when the AthmA does not know about bhagavAn and knows about bhagavAn respectively. emperumAn too exists when AthmA knows him and does not exist when AthmA does not know him. Had the AthmA not been very dear for bhagavAn, AthmA being servitor and bhagavAn being lord, AthmA bringing glories for bhagavAn and bhagavAn accepting them, this (bringing glories to bhagavAn) being the goal for the AthmA etc will cease to exist. Such emperumAn takes birth and grows, are in the heart of the AthmA.<\/p>\n<p>When asked &#8220;What is the reason for that?&#8221; AzhwAr says,<\/p>\n<p><em>karumbinai<\/em> &#8211; Since sugarcane is identified instead of sugar block, one may wonder if he is really sweet, but since &#8220;thIm&#8221; is present as an adjective, it indicates the great sweetness.
