In the 101st<\/sup> pAsuram \u2018nirandharam ninaippadhAga nI ninaikka vENdumE<\/em>\u2019 you had desired to think of me constantly! In the 103rd<\/sup> pAsuram ‘nin peyar urukkalandhu ozhivilAdhu uraikkumARu urai sey<\/em>‘, you had desired to recite the divine names continuously. In the previous pAsuram kUdum Asaiyalladhu onRu koLvanO<\/em> you had desired devotion. Do you desire devotion which is the means to attain mOksham?\u201d AzhwAr says in this pAsuram \u201cIt is not like that. Your amazing qualities and activities impel me to speak that way, treating that itself as the benefit [and not expecting any benefit out of speaking like that]. I spoke that way only after seeing vEdhams and those who follow vEdhams, speak like that. I did not speak like an upAsakan<\/em> [one who worships emperumAn and is devoted to him in order to attain emperumAn through that means] using it as a means\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n surukkuvArai inRiyE surunginAy surungiyum<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n surukkuvAai inRiyE<\/em> \u2013 without a reason for shortening [your divine form] Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Without any reason, you shortened your physical form and became a vAmana. Without any reason, having shortened yourself earlier, you grew huge. Oh, one who has this as your nature! Oh, sarvESvara who removed evil qualities of entities such as mahAbali et al! Just as multitude of sages praised you like this, I too praised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkyAnam (Commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n surukkuvArai inRiyE surunginAy<\/strong> \u2013 unlike shortening due to karmas (past deeds) or due to time or due to the urging of another entity, you shortened yourself as vAmana impelled by your mercy towards your followers. samsAri jIvas (those who live in samsAram) are born as worms or insects due to their past deeds and due to the jIvas who gave birth to them. purANams say that those who were with huge form in earlier epochs, become shorter in kaliyugam (present epoch) and towards the end of kaliyugam, they will be just the size of a thumb. In order to remain invisible to demons when he entered lankA, hanuman, for carrying out SrI rAma\u2019s work, took a short form, as we have read in SrI rAmAyaNam. The indication is that your dwarfing is unlike these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n surungiyum<\/strong> \u2013 even as you shortened yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n perukkuvArai inRiyE perukkam eydhu peRRiyOy<\/strong> \u2013 Oh one who has the nature of enlarging yourself, merely due to your mercy, unlike samsAri jIvas who enlarge themselves due to their karma or due to time or impelled by another entity! peRRi<\/em> \u2013 nature; natural quality. Through these two lines, it is described that it is natural for emperumAn to take an appropriate form for taking alms, to seek alms and, once the water, symbolic of giving alms fell on his palm, due to the ecstasy of achieving what he had desired, he took a huge form, keeping his divine feet on the heads of everyone in the fourteen worlds without looking at differences among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, through the third line, AzhwAr speaks about emperumAn destroying the ego of entities such as mahAbali, carrying out beneficial act for them too and carrying out the task for indhran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n serukkuvArgaL<\/strong> \u2013 SrI vishNu purANam 1-13-14 says “na yashtavyam na dhAthavyam na hOthavyam kathanchana<\/em> l bhOkthA yagyasya kasthvanyO hyaham yagyapathi<\/em>: prabhu<\/em>: ll” thIkkuNangaL thIrththa dhEva dhEvanE<\/strong> \u2013 Oh the lord of all celestial entities who removed the faults such as ego and possessiveness, which remove the basic nature of entities, by transforming yourself as a mendicant and who returned the lands of celestial entities such as indhran et al which they had lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n enRu irukkuvAy munikkaNangaL Eththa<\/strong> \u2013 through this pAsuram, vEdhams and, multitude of sages treating vEdhams as pramANams, praised the action of thrivikrama who measured the three worlds, just as it has been mentioned in vishNu sUktham “vichakramE pruthvImEsha EthAm <\/em>– thrir dhEva: pruthvImEsha EthAm<\/em>” (this emperumAn measured the earth \u2013 the lord measured the three worlds through three steps [of his divine foot]) and in vishNu dharmam 43-33 “sanghais surANAm dhivi bhUthalasthais thathA manushyair gaganE cha khEsarai<\/em>: l yAnum EththinEn<\/strong> \u2013 since I cannot sustain myself without speaking about such activities [of yours] for passing time purposefully, I too praised your affableness and simplicity of keeping your divine feet on the heads of all the people, without seeing any distinction, and your quality of destroying enemies. The indication is that I did not praise you like an upAsakan<\/em> with the thought of utilising this as a means to attain mOksham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, we will take up the 110th<\/sup> pAsuram of this prabandham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n\n\n\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImadh varavara munayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai (Introduction) emperumAn tells AzhwAr in his divine mind \u201cIn the previous pAsuram, the devotion which you had towards me appeared similar to the devotion exhibited by those who think of me always, through their efforts, who desire to attain … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-thiruchchandha-viruththam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52945","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\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52945"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52969,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52945\/revisions\/52969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Entities such as mahAbali, like vEna maharAjA seen just now in the above mentioned SlOkam, were living with their ego, transgressing the command of emperumAn and not regretting that they had transgressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
