By using the term <em>&#8216;kol&#8217;<\/em> AzhwAr asks that while incarnating, since emperumAn manifests his eminence as simplicity, how are these two fitting within you? In other words, while he incarnated as SrI rAma, even as he was in a state of sadness after being separated from sIthAp pirAtti, how did he grant mOksham (paramapadham) to a bird, jatAyu? Hasn\u2019t kUraththAzhwAn too mercifully stated this in athimAnushasthavam 17? &#8220;<em>pruchchAmi kinchana yadhA kila rAghavathvE mAyAmrugasya vaSagOmanujathvamaugdhyAth<\/em> l <em>sIthA viyOgavivaSO na cha thadhgathijgya<\/em>:<em> prAdhAs thadhA paragathim hi katham kagAya<\/em> ll &#8221; ((Oh empirAn!) I want to ask you one question: you had incarnated as SrI rAma; with the lower intelligence of humans, you came under the influence of the illusory deer, got separated from sIthAp pirAtti and became unconscious. You did not know as to where she had gone. Even in that state, how did you grant mOksham (SrI vaikuNtam) to a bird?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>viNNuLAy kol<\/strong> \u2013 you have an eminence which cannot be estimated even by nithyasUris who have no connection with samsAram. Here, the word &#8216;<em>kol&#8217;<\/em> is used with the meaning that while he is the controller of nithyasUris, he is affable with guhan, SabarI, sugrIva et al. How do these two qualities coexist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>maNNuLE mayangi ninRu eNNum eNNagappadAy kol<\/strong> \u2013 you are beyond the thoughts of samsAris who are unable to see clearly your qualities of eminence as well as simplicity due to their contact with their physical bodies on earth and who seek worldly pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>enna mAyai<\/em> has been explained at the end, as a verb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>nin thamar kaNNuLAy kol<\/strong> \u2013 for those who take refuge under your divine feet, without considering any other benefit, just as it has been said in bhagavath gIthA SlOkam 4-8 &#8220;<em>parithrANAya sAdhUnAm vinASAya cha dhushkruthAm<\/em> l<br \/><em>dharma samsthApanArthAya sambhavAmi yugE yugE<\/em> ll&#8221; (I incarnate in every yugam [epoch] in order to protect the good people, to annihilate the bad ones and to establish righteous path) you make them see you, just as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>sEyai kol<\/strong> \u2013 for those who are inimical to your followers, you are at a very great distance, without knowing anything about you and to get destroyed fighting you. The reference seen in bhagavath gIthA 4-8, seen just now, explains this too. The word &#8216;<em>kol<\/em>&#8216; signifies that while emperumAn has a relationship which is the same for both his followers and those who are inimical to his followers, he is benevolent towards his followers while he is beyond the reach of their enemies. How do these coexist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning of this pAsuram, the contrasting qualities which emperumAn manifests towards his followers and towards their enemies, along with the authentic texts cited as proof, make it clear that these cannot be brushed aside as false. Since the qualities are in contrast, they cannot be considered as true too.
