While dhritharAshtra et al knew the principles of ruling a kingdom, due to their arrogance, they were carrying out activities with <em>ahambhAvam<\/em> [ego]. There is no robbery worse than not following the principle of righteousness and stealing the <em>AthmA <\/em>[considering the soul as one\u2019s own instead of accepting that the soul belongs to emperumAn] and considering the belongings of soul as one\u2019s own. This fault is seen with arjuna et al, too. While dhritharAshtran et al said that they knew <em>dharmam<\/em> [principles of righteousness], arjuna did not carry out what krishNa asked him to do [krishNa told him that as a warrior, it was arjuna\u2019s duty to fight; but, he dropped his bow and sat down, in sorrow, since his relatives will get killed]. arjuna asked krishNa to ascertain what is correct for him and to tell him. However, krishNa\u2019s words did not have the desired effect initially. krishNa told arjuna that he was sorrowful for matters which were not apt to feel sad for. He also told arjuna that he was talking like a person who knew the principles of righteousness. He mercifully told arjuna that those who are capable of knowing the distinction between soul and body would know that however much one tries, the body, which is slated to get destroyed, could not be saved by anyone while the soul, which is indestructible, could not be destroyed even if all the people try at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>bAradham kai seyyak kaNdAr uLar<\/strong> \u2013 There are people who had seen him, conducting the mahAbhAratha war, by assisting through army formations etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that during the mahAbhAratha war, many saw krishNa, with deep urge, conducting the army and making all the inimical persons to fall down dead. While both the sides [pANdavas and Kauravas] had the deceit of stealing <em>AthmA<\/em> and the belongings of <em>AthmA<\/em>, due to the differences in their following the path of righteousness and not following that path, krishNa had to carry out certain activities like these. After both the sides agreed to fight, he had pledged support to both the sides [giving his army of one crore persons to kauravas, and he himself stood on the side of pANdavas, without taking up arms]. When he is there to assist, there is no necessity of further assistance [from weapons].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We shall next consider the 8<sup>th<\/sup> pAsuram of this thirumozhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/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=\"http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: Sri varavaramunayE nama: periyAzhwAr thirumozhi&nbsp;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Fourth Centum &gt;&gt; First decad Previous avathArikai thiruvAimozhip piLLai says, in his svApadhESam, that AzhwAr reminisces about the manner in which krishNa became the charioteer. veLLai viLisangu venjudarth thiruchchakaram Endhu thirukkaiyanuLLa idam vinavil umakku iRai vammin suvadu uraikkEnveLLaip puravik kurakku vel kodith thEr misai &#8230; <a title=\"periyAzhwAr thirumozhi \u2013 4.1.7 \u2013 veLLai viLisangu\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2026\/07\/periyazhwar-thirumozhi-4-1-7\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about periyAzhwAr thirumozhi \u2013 4.1.7 \u2013 veLLai viLisangu\">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":[10,717,726],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi-4th-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61364","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=61364"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61365,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61364\/revisions\/61365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
