avathArikai (Introduction)<\/strong><\/p>\n

AzhwAr desires to be a step, in front of emperumAn [in his divine abode], so that apart from bearing the divine feet of SrI vaishNavas, he would also be able to worship emperumAn.<\/p>\n

Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, emperumAn who eliminates the connection with samsAram, which is the result of sinful deeds in the past! Oh, the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi! Oh, emperumAn whose boundary for bias towards your followers is not seen at all! Oh, one who is residing in thiruvEngadam! Let me have the fortune of lying in front of you as a step, on which SrI vaishNavas, who do not desire any benefit other than you, celestial entities who desire only benefits other than you and the celestial ladies such as rambA et al who are servile to those others, walk on. I would have the fortune of looking at your coral-like divine mouth.<\/p>\n

vyAkyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

sediyAya valvinaigaL thIrkkum<\/strong> \u2013 one who severs the connection with samsAram, which results from past sinful deeds, for those who bow down to his divine feet. The term sedi<\/em> refers to sins. The term sediyAya valvinaigaL<\/em> refers to the connection with samsAram which results from such sinful deeds in the past and which cannot be severed other than by emperumAn.<\/p>\n

thIrkkum thirumAlE<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn is the consort of SrI mahAlakshmi who is constantly together with him. She carries out the purushakAram <\/em>(recommendatory role) on behalf of the chEthanas<\/em> (those who have knowledge) to sever the connection with samsAram.<\/p>\n

nediyAnE<\/strong> \u2013 just as it has been mercifully mentioned by periyAzhwAr in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4-9-2 \u201cthannadiyAr thiRaththagaththuth thAmaraiyALAgilum sidhaguraikkumEl<\/em>\u201d (even if SrI mahAlakshmi herself (who plays the recommendatory role on behalf of emperumAn\u2019s followers) starts listing out the offences carried out by the followers (of emperumAn)), even if SrI mahAlakshmi says \u201cThis person has carried out offence which even I cannot tolerate\u201d, emperumAn will say \u201cennadiyAr adhu seyyAr seydhArEl nanRu seydhAr<\/em>\u201d (My followers will not indulge in such offences; even if they do, it will be only for a good cause). He is such a great person that it is difficult to see the limit of boundary to the bias that he shows towards his followers.<\/p>\n

vEngadavA nin kOyilin vAsal<\/strong> \u2013 Oh thiruvEngadamudaiyAn! At the entrance of your sanctum sanctorum . . .<\/p>\n

adiyArum vAnavarum arambaiyarum kidandhu iyangum padiyAyk kidandhu<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr desires to be a step [made of stone] which does not have any intelligence, on which emperumAn\u2019s followers who do not desire anything other than emperumAn himself, celestial entities [such as brahmA, indhra et al] who desire everything other than emperumAn himself, and the celestial ladies such as rambA et al, who are always servile only to such celestial entities, will step on [in order to worship emperumAn]. When they step on it, the (stone) step will not have any joy of its own (that great people are stepping on it).<\/p>\n

In that case, does he not have any knowledge or joy? He responds saying\u2026.<\/p>\n

un pavaLa vAy kANbEnE<\/strong> \u2013 being an athyantha parathanthran<\/em> (totally subservient to emperumAn), one should not have any joy in anything; one should be like an achEthana<\/em> entity (one without any knowledge or emotions) even when one is joyous \u2013 not displaying any emotion. If emperumAn shows his happiness towards a chEthana<\/em>, that happiness would be the benefit of that chEthana<\/em> entity. Hence, AzhwAr says that he desires to have the fortune to look at the divine, coral-like mouth of emperumAn. The service rendered to emperumAn for one\u2019s own happiness [also called in the sampradhAyam as svArtham<\/em>] is not a great one; service rendered for emperumAn\u2019s happiness [also called as parArtham<\/em>] is considered as a distinguished service. Following this thought of AzhwAr\u2019s, the step which is laid at the entrance of sanctum sanctorum in all dhivyadhESams is called as kulaSEkharan padi<\/em> (kulasEkhara AzhwAr step).<\/p>\n

We will consider the 10th pAsuram of this decad, next.<\/p>\n
