This conveys the meaning that the purpose of his incarnation is to correct the <em>chEthanars<\/em> (those with ability to think) in leelA vibhUthi (materialistic realm) and to make them as his servitors. Instead of saying <em>piRandha<\/em> (born) the reason for saying <em>thOnRiya<\/em> (incarnated) is to manifest the fact that emperumAn came and incarnated, without the fault of being inside a womb, as mentioned in SrI vishNu purANam 5-3-2 \u201c<em>dhEvakI pUrva sandhyAyAm AvirbhUtham<\/em>\u201d (he appeared in the eastern direction which is dhEvaki).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai, in his svApadhESam, says that emperumAn incarnated in thiruvAyppAdi in order to make everyone as his servitor, instead of in vadamadhurai (SrI mathurA, in the north), which is inhabited by those who are a burden on earth and who were not willing to be his servitors. When asked \u201cHere (in thiruvAyppAdi), are there people who were willing to be his servitors?\u201d he responds saying as mentioned in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 2-5-1 \u201c<em>ennaiyum engaL kudimuzhudhu AtkoNda mannan<\/em>\u201d (he is our lord who made me as well as our clan to be his servitors). udaiyavar [rAmAnujar] mercifully referred to arjunan as \u201c<em>krishNa dhAsan<\/em>\u201d (servitor of krishNa) only after he had said, as in <a href=\"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/18-73\/\">bhagavath gIthA 18-73<\/a> \u201c<em>karishyE vachanam thava<\/em>\u201d (I will do as per your bidding). Similarly, hanuman was called as \u201c<em>rAma dhAsan<\/em>\u201d (servitor of SrI rAma) only after he had said, as in SrI rAmAyaNam uththara kANdam SlOkam \u201c<em>bhAvO nAnyathra gachchathi<\/em>\u201d (At the end of his incarnation, when SrI rAma was taking all the entities in ayOdhyA to mOksham, he called hanuman too, to accompany him. At that time, hanuman told him that his <em>bhAvam<\/em> (pathos) will not go to any other entity, viz. his eyes will constantly look at only SrI rAma and will not look at paramapadha nAthan, in SrI vaikuNtam). <em>dhAsathvam<\/em> (being a servitor) was present in both the entity who said that he will do [arjuna] and the one who said that he will not do [hanuman], based on the quality of the <em>SaraNyan<\/em> [entity to whom they surrendered]. For hanuman, not being satiated with SrI rAma\u2019s qualities was due to SrI rAma\u2019s fortune [Had hanuman been satiated with SrI rAma\u2019s auspicious qualities, he would have been probably willing to go to mOksham]. Instead of saying \u201c<em>nAnyathra<\/em>\u201d (my pathos will not gravitate towards anyone else) if hanuman had been willing to go along with SrI rAma to SrI vaikuNtam, the divine mind of SrI rAma would have been sorrowful [since hanuman would have been satisfied with seeing SrI rAma and enjoying his qualities and would have been ready to enjoy someone else\u2019s [paramapadhanAthan\u2019s] qualities]. It is through carrying out servitude that one makes others as servitors. This is aptly brought out in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2018\/11\/periya-thiruvandhadhi-32\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22945\">periya thiruvandhAdhi pAsuram 32<\/a> \u201c<em>thamakku adimai vENduvAr dhAmOdharanAr<\/em>\u201d [<em>dhAmOdharan<\/em> refers to krishNa being tied down to a mortar by yaSOdhAp pirAtti; in letting her to tie him up, he allowed himself to be enslaved by her, becoming her servitor; through that quality, he made everyone to become his servitor]. Those who seek to be servitors, would say, as mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2018\/08\/nanmugan-thiruvandhadhi-50\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"21618\">nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 50<\/a> \u201c<em>mAyan uraik kidakkum uLLaththu enakku<\/em>\u201d [the divine words of krishNa, <em>charamaSlOkam<\/em>, by which emperumAn tells his followers to surrender to him, that he would remove all their hurdles, and that they do not need to grieve, would always remain in my heart].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ayar tham kOvinai<\/strong> \u2013 even though he had incarnated in SrI mathurA, it was in thiruvAyppAdi that it [his incarnation] shone and it was there that the purpose of his incarnation was fulfilled.
