Full series<\/a> >> Eleventh decad<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n << Previous<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n avathArikai (Introduction)<\/strong> \u2013 she says that apart from her bangle, it appeared that he wanted to steal her physical form too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n pollAk kuRaLuruvAyp poRkaiyilnIrERRu<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n pollA kuRaL uru Ay<\/em> \u2013 as distinguished form of vAmana Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My swAmy, with a distinguished form as vAmana, took alms in his beautiful hand, by which he made all the worlds as his own. He is reclining on the mattress of thiruvananthAzhwAn, at SrIrangam, where eminent people are residing. While we are without any means with us, it appeared that emperumAn was going to steal our physical form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkyAnam (Commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n pollAk kuRaL uruvAy<\/strong> \u2013 We could construe this as – AndAL saying pollA<\/em> as an adjective for his form of vAmana, in order to ward off evil spirits. Alternatively, we could consider this as pollAkkuRaLuru<\/em> \u2013 a form which is not at all seen in the world. Since azhagiya kuRaL uru<\/em> could make one think of other beautiful entities in the world, she is saying pollAk kuRaL uru<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kuRaL uruvAy<\/strong> \u2013 Just as a huge quantity of milk is kept on heating in order to get a sweet concentrate which is very low in volume, the huge form of thrivikrama<\/em> is condensed to a short, but very sweet, form of vAmana<\/em> such that it would be enjoyable to those who experience him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n poRkaiyil nIrERRu<\/strong> \u2013 taking water on his beautiful hand [symbolic of accepting the alms]. While in the world, people give alms to those who hold pots made of clay, mahAbali had the fortune of giving alms to one who had golden pot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ellA ulagum aLandhu koNda<\/strong> \u2013 The reason for accepting water on his golden hand, while he had the divine form of vAmana, is to take [three] steps to steal his land. Isn\u2019t he the type who, when he accepts something from someone, will push the person to a deep place in the nether world! Did not periyAzhwAr too say, as in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4-9-7 \u201ciRaippozhudhil pAdhALam kalavirukkai koduththugandha emmAn<\/em>\u201d (in a moment, placing [mahAbali] in the nether world and feeling happy [that he had fulfilled the request of indhra])? Is he not one who feels happy in pushing those who give him alms, into deep crevices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n emperumAn<\/strong> \u2013 through that act, he made me exist only for him and for none else. This is the divine act of his, in which all the AzhwArs engage deeply, as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 9-4-2 \u201cmUvadi maN koNdu aLandha mannan saridhaikkE mAlAgip pon payandhEn<\/em>\u201d (I lost my complexion, due to my bewilderment, after hearing the narrative about the lord of all who measured three steps of land). The meaning hinted is that instead of being cautious with someone who pushes those who give him alms into deep crevices, I reached the stage of losing whatever little I had on my hand, after engaging with that act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nallArgaL vAzhum naLir arangam<\/strong> \u2013 this is the divine abode inhabited by those who do not expect any benefit other than himself. Did not periyAzhwAr too say in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4-8-2 \u201cmaRaip perundhI vaLarththiruppAr varuvirundhai aLiththiruppAr siRappudaiya maRaiyavar vAzh thiruvarangam enbadhuvE<\/em>\u201d (thiruvarangam is the divine abode where those who nurture rituals as ordained in the vEdhams and who provide distinguished hospitality to SrIvaishNavas reside)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n vAzhum<\/strong> \u2013 merely living in that divine abode is getting uplifted. Did not nAchchiyAr too say in nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 8-9<\/a> \u201cvEngadaththaip padhiyAga vAzhvIrgAL<\/em>\u201d (those who live considering thiruvEngadam as your dwelling place)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n naLir arangam<\/strong> \u2013 cool thiruvarangam. The term naLir<\/em> would refer to coolness. It removes the ennui of those who reside in that place. It is the divine abode where three thApams (distress or anguish) of AdhyAthmikam<\/em> (distress brought on by oneself), Adhibhaudhikam<\/em> (distress brought on by the five elements) and Adhidhaivikam<\/em> (distress brought on due to action of god) do not affect one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nAgaNaiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 one who is reclining on thiruvananthAzhwAn. How he is fitting on the mattress, leaving me aside, his consort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n illAdhOm kaipporuLum<\/strong> \u2013 the material with me, who does not have the fortune to step on to that mattress. Or, the material with me who does not have the material which he desires. Or, one who does not have any one to assist other than oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kaipporuLum<\/strong> \u2013 the trivial materials such as clay lid which those who seek alms have. She thinks of her physical form and entities which are together with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n eydhuvAn oththuLanE<\/strong> \u2013 he appeared to steal those materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few words from another explanation given by the commentator, periyavAchchAn piLLai:<\/p>\n\n\n\n naLir arangam<\/strong> \u2013 Isn\u2019t the one who is residing in this cool, divine abode, carrying out the deed which is done by those who kill women?<\/p>\n\n\n\n nallArgaL vAzhum arangam<\/strong> \u2013 it is the place where all the fortunate people, who are living in various places come and remain forever. Isn\u2019t it the abode where all the AzhwArs gather, as mentioned in thiruchchandha viruththam 52<\/a> \u201caRRapaRRar suRRi vAzhum andhaNIr arangam<\/em>\u201d (thiruvarangam is the huge temple, having beautiful, cool waterbodies, where ascetics, who have renounced everything, think of living forever)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n nallArgaL<\/strong> \u2013 instead of carrying out attempts on one\u2019s own to attain emperumAn, this is the divine abode inhabited by people who enjoy the ultimate benefit. Since the supreme entity, who has to be attained after reaching paramapadham, resides in that place forever, easily accessible to all, for those who reside in that abode, bhagavath anubhavam <\/em>(enjoying emperumAn) will be a regular pastime. For those who desire to reside in that divine place, is there anything other than bhagavath anubhavam<\/em>? It is said that those who live there will be trembling \u201cWhat will we do if have to lose this experience and are asked to go to parama padham?\u201d Did not thoNdaradippodi AzhwAr, who knew none other than periya perumAL, mercifully say in thirumAlai 2<\/a> \u201cichchuvai thavira yAn pOy indhira lOgam ALum ahchuvai peRinum vENdEn arangamA nagaruLAnE<\/em>\u201d (Oh, emperumAn, who is permanently residing in SrIrangam! Even if I were given the opportunity to rule over SrIvaikuNtam, leaving the experience which I get here, I would not do that)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n When [parASara] bhattar was suffering due to discomfort in his back, periya perumAL, after honouring him with temple respects, asked him \u201cDid you fear?\u201d bhattar responded saying \u201cOh emperumAn! There is no eminence which you have not mercifully done for me. Even when I am here, you have assured me that you will grant me parama padham. There is no shortcoming for me in that. If I have to lose the fortune of seeing your cool, divine face and the scar of your divine thirumaN kAppu <\/em>(divine mark on the forehead), will I not fear?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the sons of ALavandhAr was sottai nambi. Since he used harsh words against thirukkOshtiyUr nambi, one of ALavandhAr\u2019s main disciples, ALavandhAr told him \u201cDo not come near me. Go far away\u201d. He went to the capital of the chOzha king and was engaged in regal work, in laukikam<\/em> [leading life in samsAram, carrying out deeds typical of samsAris]. In his final days, some people, desiring to check \u201cDoes he have firm belief in SrI vaishNavam, though he has gone into laukikam<\/em>?\u201d asked him \u201cWhat are you thinking of?\u201d He said \u201cSince I have connection with ALavandhAr\u2019s divine feet, I will certainly get paramapadham. When I go there, if the divine face of SrIvaikuNtanAthan [the lord of SrIvaikuNtam] is not as cool as the divine face of namperumAL<\/em> (uthsavar at SrIrangam temple), I will break the wall of universe and return to SrIrangam itself\u201d. He also said \u201cThe only deficiency in that is that I will be going against the saying of vEdham\u201d referring to chAndhOgya upanishath 1-15-1 \u201csa ghalvEvam varthayan yAvadhAyusham brahmalOkamabhi sampadhyathE<\/em> l na cha punarAvarthathE<\/em>! na cha punarAvarthathE<\/em>! ll\u201d (that mumukshu [one who is desirous of attaining mOksham], lives like this until his lifetime is completed; once his lifetime is over, he attains the abode of brahmam. He does not return here ever).<\/p>\n\n\n\n naLir arangam<\/strong> \u2013 cool arangam. To get rid of the distress of AdhyAthmikam, Adhibhaudhikam<\/em> and Adhidhaivikam<\/em>, one need not go to paramapadham. This thiruvarangam alone is sufficient for that .<\/p>\n\n\n\n nAgaNaiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 when enjoying the supreme entity who is attained, instead of enjoying him in the sitting posture, like paramapadhanAthan\u2019s, just as it has been said in thirumAlai 23<\/a> \u201ckidandhadhOr kidakkai<\/em>\u201d (after seeing and enjoying the unparalleled lying posture), one can enjoy the reclining posture which is more beautiful than the sitting posture. Such a lying posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n illAdhOm kaipporuLum<\/strong> \u2013 the material which is with us, who do not have anything with us. Since we and our materials are his, there is nothing that we have. Hence, whatever he takes, will be his possession only. When such is the case, why does he engage in an activity as if he is usurping our materials? When we have nothing with us, could we say kaipporuL<\/em> (material in our hand)? ANdAL says that since emperumAn desires me and my possessions thinking that they are his, in his [emperumAn\u2019s] thinking it is \u201ckaipporuL<\/em>\u201d. Alternatively, for the term illAdhOm<\/em>, the meaning could be construed as \u201cNot having any refuge other than himself\u201d. The term illAdhOm kaipporuL<\/em> would refer to the physical form, which is tacking along with us. That is all, which remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n eydhuvAn oththuLanE<\/strong> \u2013 Thinking that the physical body is the ultimate benefit, there are people who strive hard to affirm it. emperumAn thinks that my [ANdAL\u2019s] physical form is his ultimate benefit and strives to attain that, thinking that he has got something which he does not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, we will consider the 6th<\/sup> pAsuram of this decad.<\/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 >> Eleventh decad << Previous avathArikai (Introduction) \u2013 she says that apart from her bangle, it appeared that he wanted to steal her physical form too. pollAk kuRaLuruvAyp poRkaiyilnIrERRuellA ulagum aLandhu koNda emperumAnnallArgaL vAzhum naLir aranga nAgaNaiyAnillAdhOm kaipporuLum eydhuvAn oththuLanE Word-by-Word Meanings … 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":[10,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-nachchiyar-thirumozhi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54257","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=54257"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54320,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54257\/revisions\/54320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
