He controls the chEthanan\u2019s sensory organs this way, making the chEthanan to engage with him. If a query were to be asked \u2013 while the verse only says about controlling the senses, where is the mention about emperumAn manifesting his divine form and making the chEthanan to engage his senses with him \u2013 in the 90<sup>th<\/sup> pAsuram \u201c<em>pulangaL aindhum venRilEn poRiyilEn<\/em>\u201d since AzhwAr had expressed his inability to control his senses, it is clear that controlling of sensory organs mentioned here is only because of emperumAn. The difficulty in controlling sensory organs is clear from the fact that even arjuna, who had bowed down to Urvasi, considering her as his mother, mentioned to emperumAn in bhagavath gIthA SlOkam 6-34 &#8220;<em>chanchalam hi mana<\/em>:<em> krishNa pramAthi balavadh dhrudam<\/em> l <em>thasyA\u2019ham nigraham manyE vAyOriva sudhushkaram <\/em>ll&#8221; (Oh krishNa! Mind is unstable, bewildering, strong (towards worldly matters) and wavering. I think that it is difficult to be controlled just as it is difficult to control the flow of wind).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AsaiyAmavai thodakkaRuththu<\/strong> \u2013 due to the sacred nature of emperumAn\u2019s divine form, he removed all my desires in worldly pursuits, completely. Since the reason for desire in worldly pursuits is only the previous deeds of a chEthanan (virtues and vices), only emperumAn can sever that connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vandhu nin thozhil kaN ninRa ennai<\/strong> \u2013 me who had reached the outer boundary of the benefit that a chEthanan can attain, praying for kainkaryam (servitude towards your divine feet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>nI vidak karudhi<\/strong> \u2013 starting with control of sensory organs and reaching to the stage of praying for <em>kainkaryam<\/em> you had made me achieve these.

Hasn\u2019t emperumAnAr (bhagavath rAmAnujar) mercifully said in gIthA bhAshyam 3-6? \u201c<em>anyathA sankalpya anyathAcharathIthi mithyA chAra<\/em>:<em> sa uchyathE<\/em>\u201d (after taking a resolve to act in a particular way, if a person acts in the exact opposite way, he is said to be acting with a false conduct)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>mikkor Asai Akkilum<\/strong> \u2013 even if you create a great desire towards other matters; emperumAn, who started to guide the chEthana towards controlling his sensory organs, should not create desire in other worldly pursuits such as Sabdham, sparSam, rUpam, rasam, gandham etc. Even if he creates a desire..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>kadal kidandha ninnalAlor kaN ilEn<\/strong> \u2013 even when I had not prayed for, you had left parama padham where you were ruling with your sceptre and came down to thiruppARkadal, which is in samsAram which is anathematic to you, for my benefit. Apart from such you, I have no else who can guide and conduct me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>em aNNalE<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr says that the reason for emperumAn to carry out benefit for him even when he had not prayed for it is because emperumAn is his swAmy (lord).
