Alternatively – thiri puram (thiri (thamizh) – thri (samskrutham)- three) could be the name for each of those cities as in bruhadhAraNyaka upanishath “pancha panchajanA:<\/em>” (five gyAnEndhriyas – each sense is known as panchajana) and “saptha saptharshaya:<\/em>” (seven saptharishis – each sage is known as saptharishi). rudhra whose valour is shining due to the vanquishing of the three cities.<\/p>\n maRRai ..<\/em> – When rudhra is the controller for annihilation, brahmA is the controller for creation, and further he is the father of rudhra and is known as ajan (unborn) due to being different from all other mortal beings, having directly been born from the lotus in the divine navel of bhagavAn.<\/p>\n viyappa<\/em> – They, who are causing astonishment by their amazing acts, are astonished as if a crane has seen an ocean.<\/p>\n muri …<\/em> – Other than brahmA et al, others are making tumultuous sound like that of a vast ocean with moving waves.<\/p>\n mU ulagum vaNanga<\/em> – This is similar to “manchA:krOSanthi<\/em>” (Cot making noise) [those who are in the cot are making noise; similarly, people in the three worlds worship him].<\/p>\n muRaiyAl<\/em> – Due to unlawful deeds of hiraNya, they were falling at his feet; now that he has died, worshipping bhagavAn due to his natural lordship; alternatively – aptly worshipped.<\/p>\n eri …<\/em> – Having fire like mane and shining canine teeth, emperumAn assumed the form of narasimha to have hiraNya’s body become split into two, just as certain entities [elephants] will be destroyed due to seeing their enemies [lions] who are their natural enemies.<\/p>\n ivar Ar kol enna<\/em> – When a child’s [prahlAdhAzhwAn] father became the child’s enemy, emperumAn appeared to the child being closer than the child’s father; he stood in front of me similar to that. Still, she is asking “Who is this person?” emperumAn’s nature is such that one can describe him, yet one cannot firmly say who he is.<\/p>\n attabuyagaraththEn enRArE<\/em> – He is saying “Will I just help prahlAdha? Have I not arrived here and stood here looking for an opportunity to help you?”<\/p>\n In the next article we will enjoy the next pAsuram.<\/p>\n adiyen sarathy ramanuja dasan<\/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: periya thirumozhi >>\u00a0Second centum >> Eighth decad Highlights from avathArikai (Introduction) This is how it looked when emperumAn appeared [as narasimha]. pAsuram thiripuram mUnRu eriththAnum maRRai malarmisai mEl ayanum viyappa muri thirai mAkadal pOl muzhangi mUvulagum muRaiyAl vaNanga eriyana kEsara vAL eyiRROdu iraNiyan Agam iraNdu … 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":[5,16,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-irandam-ayiram","category-periya-thirumozhi","category-periya-thirumozhi-2nd-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46187","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=46187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Highlights from avathArikai (Introduction)<\/h3>\n
