In this pAsuram, he says that just like when an elephant is lying down, someone getting atop it with his efforts, he had not held on to emperumAn\u2019s divine form. Without any reason, since periya perumAL kept his divine form in AzhwAr\u2019s mind, without separating it from him, AzhwAr mercifully says in this pAsuram \u201cI received permanent kainkaryam with unique <em>brahmAnandham<\/em> (happiness of experiencing emperumAn), getting rid of all hurdles\u201d. Just as nammAzhwAr had said in thiruvAimozhi 10-10-10 \u201c<em>en avAvaRach chUzhndhAyE<\/em>\u201d (you united with me such that all my desires got fulfilled), this AzhwAr too expresses his gratitude for the help granted mercifully by emperumAn, and brings the prabandham to its end. It is clear from this that <em>svagatha svIkAram<\/em>, which is holding on to emperumAn through one\u2019s means, and is similar to getting on top of the elephant which is lying down, is full of pitfalls and that AzhwArs, who saw emperumAn when he manifested himself to them, are <em>paragatha svIkAra nishtars<\/em> (those who are firmly rooted in the principle of taking refuge under emperumAn when he decides to take them under his refuge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>iyakkaRAdha palpiRappil ennai mARRi inRu vandhu<\/em><br><em>uyakkoN mEgavaNNan naNNi ennilAya thannuLE<\/em><br><em>mayakkinAn than mannu sOdhi AdhalAl ennAvidhAn<\/em><br><em>iyakkelAm aRuththaRAdha inba vIdu pERRadhE<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>iyakku aRAdha<\/em> \u2013 without change in continuity<br><em>pal piRappil<\/em> \u2013 from the multitude of births<br><em>ennai<\/em> \u2013 me (who is ignorant)<br><em>mARRi<\/em> \u2013 in order to take<br><em>inRu vandhu<\/em> \u2013 (without any reason) coming (when I do not remember) today<br><em>uyakkoL<\/em> \u2013 one who uplifted me<br><em>mEgavaNNan<\/em> \u2013 one who has his divine form like a cloud<br><em>naNNi<\/em> \u2013 coming near (to the place where I was)<br><em>thannil Aya ennuLE<\/em> \u2013 in my heart which is united with him<br><em>than<\/em> \u2013 his<br><em>mannu<\/em> &#8211; permanent<br><em>sOdhi<\/em> \u2013 splendorous divine auspicious form<br><em>mayakkinAn<\/em> \u2013 mingled (inseparably)<br><em>AdhalAl<\/em> \u2013 hence<br><em>en AvidhAn<\/em>&#8211; my AthmA<br><em>iyakku elAm<\/em> \u2013 avidhyai (ignorance), karmam (past deeds) etc which follow one another<br><em>aRuththu<\/em> \u2013 destroyed<br><em>aRAdha inba vIdu \u2013<\/em> mOksha vIdu (the abode of parama padham) which is without an end, and which is full of happiness<br><em>peRRadhu<\/em> \u2013 attained<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to uplift me, who has been having multitude of births, without any change in that continuity, emperumAn, who has the divine form like a cloud, came to where I was and united his splendorous, auspicious divine form with me. As result, he destroyed my avidhyai, karmas, vAsanA, ruchi, dhEha sambandham etc completely, enabling my AthmA to attain the abode of parama padham, which is without an end and which is full of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vyAkyAnam (Commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iyakkaRAdha pal piRappil ennai mARRi<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it has been said in thiruvAimozhi 2-6-8 \u201c<em>mARi mARip pala piRappum piRandhu<\/em>\u201d (I have been born in multitude of births, continuously), thinking of changing me who had been without knowledge [about emperumAn] since time immemorial, having been born in the four species of celestial, human, animal and plant, continuously in each of these species. Since it has been said that birth has been continuous, when karma is being experienced with one physical form, it leads to engaging in deeds which would lead to more physical forms, thus not leaving any gap between the physical forms. The word <em>iyangal<\/em> refers to abundance. The syllable <em>ng <\/em>has been transformed to <em>kk<\/em> and the word becomes <em>iyakkal<\/em>. Could <em>mARRi<\/em> [changing] be construed as <em>mARRa ninaiththu<\/em> [thinking of changing]? In thiruvAimozhi 1-4-10 \u201c<em>uyir mudhalA muRRumAy kadalAzhi nIr thORRi<\/em>\u201d (being the controller of all the entities such as AthmA etc, and incarnating in the ocean), the term <em>Ay<\/em> (as in <em>muRRumAy<\/em>) comes in the meaning of <em>AvadhaRkAga<\/em>. In the same manner, here, the term <em>mARRi<\/em> will have the meaning of <em>mARRugaikkAga<\/em> which means to think of changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>inRu vandhu uyakkoL mEga vaNNan naNNi<\/strong> \u2013 <em>kArmEgavaNNan<\/em> (one with the complexion of dark coloured louds), who removed my involvement with other pursuits and gave me knowledge [about him] which grew into devotion [towards him], approached me where I was even when I had not expected it, without any reason. <em>naNNudhal<\/em> \u2013 to embrace. Since AzhwAr had spoken about thiruvarangam in his pAsurams 117 \u201c<em>nachchu nAgaNaikkidandha nAdhan<\/em>\u201d and 119 \u201c<em>ponni sUzh arangamEya pUvai vaNNa<\/em>\u201d, even in this pAsuram, we should consider that he is speaking only about the divine form of periya perumAL [SrI ranganAthan] when he says <em>uyakkoL mEgavaNNan<\/em>, considering that divine form of emperumAn alone as his means to get uplifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ennilAya thannuLE<\/strong> \u2013 inside him, when he is within me. The word \u201cen (I)\u201d will not stop merely with me, but will extend up to him [emperumAn] since he is my a<em>ntharyAmi<\/em> (indwelling soul). Thus, this will refer to \u201cinside my heart\u201d, which is his attribute, never separating from him. Isn\u2019t AzhwAr mercifully saying here, what has been said in <em>vEdhavAkyams<\/em> (sentences in vEdhams) such as chAndhOgya upanishath 6-8-7 &#8220;<em>thath thvamasi<\/em>&#8221; ((Oh SvEthakEthu!) That brahmam (brahmAthmA [the AthmA of supreme entity] resides within you)), instructing through the words of an AchAryan (teacher), and kaushIdhakI upanishath vEdhavAkyam &#8220;<em>aham brahmAsmi<\/em>&#8221; (I am brahmam (brahmAthmA resides within me)) when the mukthAthmA goes to paramapadham and meditates on the supreme entity! The reason for mentioning the connection here that he is the <em>SarIram<\/em> (physical form) and emperumAn is the AthmA (the soul residing inside his <em>SarIram<\/em>) is to show that emperumAn considered the deed of AzhwAr, who is emperumAn\u2019s <em>SarIram<\/em>, as his [emperumAn\u2019s] deed and helped in carrying it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>mayakkinAn than mannu sOdhi<\/strong> \u2013 he united his divine form, which is dear to me, which is splendorous and apt for his basic nature, with me, inseparably. The word <em>mayakkam <\/em>will also come in the meaning of uniting. In other words, he did it in such a way that I could never let go of him ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AdhalAl<\/strong> \u2013 since he came on his own and gave me all these benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>en AvidhAn<\/strong> \u2013 my soul, which is fully under his control and which is dear to him, similar to his <em>kausthubam <\/em>(a divine chain)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iyakkelAm aRuththu<\/strong> \u2013 severing everything, which come continuously as cause-effect chain, starting with <em>avidhyA<\/em> (lack of knowledge), <em>puNya pApa karmas <\/em>(deeds which result in virtue or sin), <em>vishaya vAsanai<\/em> (involvement with worldly matters, continuing with past impressions), <em>vishaya ruchi<\/em> (continuous involvement with worldly pursuits) and <em>dhEha sambandham<\/em> (connection with a physical form which is the transformation of primordial matter). In the first line of this pAsuram, AzhwAr had mentioned <em>iyakkaRAdha pal piRappil<\/em>, severing the connection with physical form which is the reason for everything. Here, He adds the ignorant deeds which are effected by that connection with physical form, the impression and repeated involvement which happen as a result of being connected to that physical form, and says that emperumAn severs everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>aRAdha inba vIdu peRRadhE<\/strong> \u2013 [the AthmA] attained mOksham which is in the form of kainkaryam [servitude to emperumAn] which is with unmatched <em>brahmAnandham<\/em>, which is without any break and which lasts until AthmA lasts [in other words, for ever].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the end of this prabandham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>periya pirAttiyAr samEdha periya perumAL thiruvadigaLE SaraNam<br>thirumazhisaippirAn thiruvadigaLE SaraNam<br>periyavAchchAn piLLai thiruadigaLE SaraNam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br>pramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br>pramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br>SrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImadh varavara munayE nama: Full Series &lt;&lt; Previous avathArikai (Introduction) In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had said that for the affection which was born out of emperumAn\u2019s divine beauty, that divine beauty itself became the target, through the verse &#8220;unna pAdham enna ninRa oNsudark kozhumalar manna vandhu pUNdu&#8220;. &#8230; <a title=\"thiruchchandha viruththam &#8211; pAsuram 120 \u2013 iyakkaRAdha\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2024\/03\/thiruchchandha-viruththam-120\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about thiruchchandha viruththam &#8211; pAsuram 120 \u2013 iyakkaRAdha\">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-53014","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\/53014","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=53014"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53027,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53014\/revisions\/53027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
