He sought alms from mahAbali, saying \u201cGive me three seps of land, measured with my feet\u201d and accepted water as a symbol of mahAbali\u2019s acceptance. With one step, he brought the entire area of earth under his control. With the second step, which he took by stretching out his divine foot, he brought all the worlds in the upper regions, under his control. We will perish today, on account of the one who stretched like that. We will perish today, on account of the one who measured all the worlds, including earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam (Commentary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n mAvali \u2026<\/strong> – mahAbali seized the wealth of indhra [head of celestial entities] through his strength; just as it has been mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 9.8.7<\/a> \u201ckOvAgiya mAvali<\/em>\u201d (mahAbali, who considered himself as he lord of all the three worlds), he thought that he is the king of all. He also had the indestructible quality of magnanimity. In such mahAbali\u2019s ritualistic arena \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the term maN<\/em> includes all the fourteen worlds [seven above the earth and seven, including earth, below]. Through the term Oradi ittu<\/em> emperumAn severed the anyaSEshathvam<\/em> [being servitors to deities other than emperumAn] of those on earth [and below]. Through the term iraNdAmadi<\/em> he removed the vanity derived out of svAthanthryam<\/em> [independent of others] of those in the upper seven worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n mAN uruvAych chenRu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it has been mentioned in periya thirumozhi 5.1.2<\/a> \u201ckaLLak kuRaLAy<\/em>\u201d (going deceptively as a dwarf), in order to divest mahAbali of all his wealth, emperumAn took on the guise of a dwarf, stole the heart of mahAbali through the beauty of his guise and his gait and made him do what he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n mUvadi thA enRu irandha immaNNinai<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn asked for three steps of land in order to make mahAbali to grant immediately, without thinking, and in order to imprison him with the third step. The term maN<\/em> is representative of all the worlds, including earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oradi \u2026<\/strong> – In the way he measured, he ensured that the entire expanse of earth [including other words below it] came under his first step. Through the second step \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n thAvadi \u2026<\/strong> – [the herd-girls say] We will perish today because of the one, who stretched his foot such that all the worlds in the upper regions came under his control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n dharaNi \u2026<\/strong>– We will perish today on account of the one, who, notwithstanding the tenderness of his divine feet, measured all the worlds with those divine feet in order to fulfil the task of his follower [indhra]. Through this, it is hinted that the one, who transformed himself in order to fulfil the expectations of his follower, did not carry out our expectations. Hence, we will perish today, because of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the term dharaNi<\/em> is representative of all the worlds. thAvadi<\/em> \u2013 the divine foot which went as per his divine mind. Alternatively, it refers to the divine foot which went with his divine mind following it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 8th<\/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 >> Second Centum >> Tenth decad Previous avathArikai (Introduction) thiruvAimozhip piLLai says, in his svApadhESam, that AzhwAr says that that it is not only that krishNa had annihilated his enemies, he had also carried out the activity of protecting his followers. mAvali vELviyil mAN uruvAych … 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":[10,717,720],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi-2nd-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59453","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=59453"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59479,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59453\/revisions\/59479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
