My father had not known earlier that you would do this way. You should take the form which you had, when you sought alms and measure land with those steps only\u201d. Oh, one, who swirled and threw that namuchi in the sky! You should embrace me. Oh, one who is dwelling in the divine hills of thiruvEngadam! You should embrace me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam (Commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n en \u2026<\/strong>– as soon as droplets of water fell on his divine palm (symbolic of mahAbali accepting his request for three steps of land), emperumAn stared lengthening his feet to measure the worlds. namuchi, the son of mahAbali, came running, trying to prevent the growing of the divine feet, saying \u201cWhat is this?\u201d emperumAn asked him \u201cWhy are you preventing the growth of my feet? Should I not measure that which was offered through water?\u201d namuchi responded, saying \u201cIsn\u2019t your action deceptive?\u201d emperumAn asked him back \u201cWho are you to say that it is deceptive? Looking at my form of being a bachelor and acceding to my request, your father granted me my wish, through the medium of water. Was that false?\u201d namuchi replied \u201cMy father was caught in the web of your deception and did not know any of your methods\u201d. emperumAn queried him further \u201cHow did you conclude that my action is deceptive?\u201d namuchi said \u201cIf it is not deceptive, measure with the form with which you had sought alms\u201d Even when emperumAn told him \u201cIs it possible to measure with the previous form? Doesn\u2019t the form change constantly?\u201d namuchi was firm in his view. Oh, one who swirled that namuchi and threw him in the skies, and one, who has an effulgent crown! His crown became effulgent after he had removed the anyaSEshathvam<\/em> (being servitors of other entities) of all the AthmAs [souls] and their svasvAthanryam<\/em> (being dependent only on themselves and not dependent on emperumAn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here: emperumAn, after removing the hurdle created by SukrAchArya, thought \u201cHis disciples may start taking inimical actions\u201d and hence started growing up, to measure the worlds. namuchi, son of mahAbali and disciple of SukrAchArya, trying to prevent this, asked him \u201cWhat is this?\u201d emperumAn asked him \u201cWhy are you preventing this?\u201d namuchi replied \u201cYou are changing your form. What did you seek and what are you doing?\u201d emperumAn said \u201cI have carried out all the activities without any violation to my state of being a bachelor. I am qualified in vEdha SAsthrams (sacred texts]. Should I not complete the measurement of the land given by your father?\u201d namuchi said \u201cMy father does not know. Without consulting me, who is fully matured, did he act properly?\u201d emperumAn responded saying \u201cIs one, who did not listen to his guru, going to ask you prior to donating?\u201d namuchi said \u201cIf there is a hurdle to the donation, should one not revert to the original status?\u201d emperumAn said \u201cWhat did you say? It is only after knowing the hurdle which would come through you that I had accepted this with the fiat that no objection would be entertained after a moment of getting the donation, instead of the usual limit of ten days\u201d. namuchi again said \u201cYou should measure with the form with which you had sought the alms\u201d emperumAn replied \u201cIs that possible? It is that time in my life when the body keeps changing every moment\u201d. \u00a0namuchi replied \u201cWhy can\u2019t you grow at the rate at which people grow in this world?\u201d emperumAn said \u201cWill growth be uniform for all?\u201d namuchi then said \u201cI have to hate only my father. There is no point in faulting you\u201d to which emperumAn asked \u201cWhy should you hate your father? Just as it has been mentioned in manthra praSnam \u2018AthmAvai puthranAmAsi<\/em>\u2019 (father is born as the son), when you are not in favour of his donation, [it is evident that] you have been born in the wrong way. You are not his son. You have despised him in my presence, saying that he does not know anything. You cannot call him as your father. Even though he has sired you, he will not recognise you anymore as his son and will consider you as one who had been born the wrong way\u201d. thiruvAimozhip piLLai now asks in his svApadhESam \u201cWas there enough time for asking all these questions and counter questions, more and more?\u201d He gives the response himself quoting mudhal thiruvandhAdhi pAsuram 79<\/a> \u201coNdArai nIrangai thOya nimirndhilaiyE neeLvisumbil Arangai thOya aduththu<\/em>\u201d (the moment water fell on his divine hands, he grew up rapidly to reach the ethereal layer). emperumAn grew the moment water fell on his divine hand. However, he had sufficient time before that to engage in conversation with namuchi. hanuman was flying towards lankA, in search of sIthAp pirAtti. While flying, mainAka parvatham<\/em> [a huge mountain] stood in his way and asked him several questions. While he was hurrying towards his destination, he still found time to respond to its questions. Further on the way, nAga mAthA<\/em> [a deity for snakes] came in his way and told him that she wanted to swallow him. He entered her mouth, converting his sthUla<\/em> (gross) form into sUkshma<\/em> (subtle) form, and came out in a moment with his sthUla<\/em> form and reached his destination. When it is possible for hanuman to do these, when he was in a hurry to complete his task, would it not be possible for the omnipotent entity to raise and answer questions? Further on, thiruvAimozhip piLLai says that when a mukthAthmA [one who is liberated from samsAram, the materialistic realm] gets liberated and goes to SrI vaikuNtam in a moment, in the path of light (archirAdhi mArgam<\/em>), he accepts the honours given to him by various entities enroute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vEngadam \u2026<\/strong> – Just as it has been mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 3-3-8<\/a> \u201canRu gyalam aLandha pirAn \u2013 senRu sEr thiruvEngadam mAmalai<\/em>\u201d (the place where our benefactor, who measured all the worlds at that time, went and resided is the great hill of thiruvEngadam), oh, one who is standing in thiruvEngadam as its controller, after completing your activity of measuring all the worlds! You should embrace me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here: After swirling and throwing out namuchi in the ethereal layers, after getting rid of anyaSEshathvam <\/em>[servitors to other deities] and svasvAthanthryam<\/em> [being dependent only on self and not on emperumAn] of samsAris, his crown became effulgent. That feature took root when he became vEngadavANan, residing in thirumalai. However, that was established only when he hugged AzhwAr. The term minnu mudiyan<\/em> became a reality only after krishNa embraced AzhwAr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 9th<\/sup> pAsuram of this thirumozhi.<\/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 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: Sri varavaramunayE nama: periyAzhwAr thirumozhi >> First Centum >> Eighth Decad Previous avathArikai (Introduction) thiruvAimozhip piLLai, in his svApadhESam, says that AzhwAr wants krishNa to come with the shiny crown. ennidhu mAyam en appan aRindhilanmunnaiya vaNNamE koNdu aLavAy ennamannu namuchiyai vAnil suzhaRRIyaminnu mudiyanE! achchO achchO vEngadavANanE! achchO achchO Word-by-Word Meanings (As … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,717,718],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi-1st-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57318","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=57318"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57350,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57318\/revisions\/57350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
