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

AzhwAr considers the option \u201cYou are not desiring other benefits because you are not getting them. If you get them, you would enjoy them\u201d and says in this pAsuram that even if he gets other benefits, he will not desire them.<\/p>\n

Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n

emperumAn<\/em> \u2013 my lord\u2019s

EdhEnum AvEnE<\/em> \u2013 I would like to be some substance [material].<\/p>\n

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

Even if I were to rule over all the worlds above, under my regal, white coloured umbrella and even if Urvasi (a celestial beauty) whose waist is decorated with a golden drape, were to be my servitor, I will not desire that. Instead, I would desire to be some substance on top of thiruvEngadam hill, which belongs to my lord, thiruvEngadamudaiyAn, who has a reddish coloured coral-like divine mouth.<\/p>\n

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

umbar ulagu ANdu oru kudai kIzh<\/strong> \u2013 ruling over not only indhra\u2019s world, but all the worlds above that too, under my white regal umbrella<\/p>\n

uruppasi than am pon kalai algul peRRAlum AdhariyEn<\/strong> \u2013 the reference to enjoying Urvasi here is representative of enjoying all the pleasures in the worlds above. Even if I get all those enjoyable pleasures, I will not desire them.<\/p>\n

sem pavaLa vAyAn<\/strong> \u2013 isn\u2019t the reddish, coral-like divine mouth of emperumAn, who resides in thirumalai such that it will render pleasures, such as Urvasi. as nothing!<\/p>\n

thiruvEngadam ennum emperumAn pon malai mEl<\/strong> \u2013 on my lord\u2019s distinguished thirumalai<\/p>\n

EdhEnum AvEnE<\/strong> \u2013 let me be any lowly substance. It is said that when thirumalai ananthAzhwAn (a disciple of bhagavadh rAmAnujar) explains this verse, he would say \u201ceven if I were to be thiruvEngadamudaiyAn, that is fine with me\u201d. The opinion for this is \u2013 in the previous pAsurams, he had desired to be various substances which were servile to emperumAn. It is not an apt benefit for a follower\u2019s (of emperumAn\u2019s) basic nature to be the physical form of emperumAn should he not get to be one of the substances which will be servile to emperumAn. Hence, it is AzhwAr\u2019s opinion that if he is unable to be one of the substances [mentioned earlier] he should be, in the least, the physical form of emperumAn. [parASara] bhattar [kUraththAzhwAn\u2019s son] would mercifully give a different interpretation for this: \u201cIt is acceptable to me if I were to become a substance which is unknown to me, unknown to emperumAn and lowly enough such that even if someone were to know, he will not praise it\u201d<\/p>\n

We will take up the last pAsuram of this decad, next.<\/p>\n
