They immerse themselves in his auspicious qualities and due to that joy, praise him, day and night and reside in thirukkOttiyUr. emperumAn, who has a divine complexion, similar to that of a dark, huge cloud, resides in such thirukkOttiyUr. The followers of emperumAn, in thirukkOttiyUr, keeping their lowliness in front, perform anjali to emperumAn there. What penances have those, who live in such thirukkOttiyUr, performed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n kurundham onRu<\/strong> \u2013 the unique kurundham<\/em>. Since it [the tree] appears like a flower which has covered itself, krishNa would have liked it. nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 3.3<\/a> says \u201cpUngurundhu ERi iruththi<\/em>\u201d (You have mercifully climbed onto the kurundha tree, which has blossomed). A monster had pervaded this tree, thinking \u201ckrishNa will climb up this tree. At that time, we shall annihilate him\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n osiththAn<\/strong> \u2013 krishNa annihilated the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n osiththAnodum senRu kUdi Adi vizhAch cheydhu<\/strong> \u2013 approaching the one, who had annihilated the enemy, and attaining him. The thoughts of both emperumAn and the followers, who had gone to enjoy his qualities, will be congruent. The followers will immerse in the divine qualities of emperumAn, who will grant them the enjoyment of his divine form [in his divine abodes]. Just as the followers will keep looking at his divine form, in paramapadham too, nithyasUris will keep looking at his divine form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thirundhu nAnmaRaiyOr<\/strong> \u2013 Correctness for vEdhams is: explaining the divine svarUpam [basic nature] etc of emperumAn, the way they are. Also, those who have learnt the vEdhams well, will attain the divine abodes of emperumAn, in order to experience the divine qualities and to enjoy the divine form of emperumAn, as mentioned in vEdhams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n irAp pagal Eththi<\/strong> \u2013 since they do not look at anything else, this will certainly take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n karum thada mugil vaNNan<\/strong> \u2013 one, who has a divine form, which is dark and huge, like a cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kadaikkoNdu kai thozhum<\/strong> \u2013 they will worship emperumAn, keeping their lowliness in front. Alternatively, this could be considered to be carried out by a lowly person towards an eminent person. Another meaning \u2013 kadai<\/em> could be considered as the end [last]; since AzhwAr is going to say a couple of pAsurams later \u201cendhammai viRkavum peRuvArgaLE<\/em>\u201d (SrIvaishNavas would be able to sell AzhwAr himself), considering that carrying out servitude to emperumAn\u2019s followers is their basic nature, these people will worship emperumAn, since that is the manner which emperumAn\u2019s followers would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n paththargaL<\/strong> \u2013 instead of worshipping emperumAn since it has been ordained in vEdhams, they will worship because this is the activity, which they desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n irundha Uril irukkum mAnidar<\/strong> \u2013 this shows that the purpose of being born in the human species is to live in the divine abodes inhabited by SrivaishNavas. Even when they get liberated and reach mOksham, the divine abode is called as vAnavar nAdu<\/em> [the land of nithyasUris]. Just as it has been mentioned in thiruviruththam 79<\/a> \u201csIdhanaiyE thozhuvAr viNNuLArilum sIriyarE<\/em>\u201d (those, who worship emperumAn are more eminent than nithyasUris), just as there is a difference between the servitors of emperumAn here and in SrI vaikuNtam, there is a difference between SrIvaikuNtam and archAvathAra dhESam [divine abodes in samsAram]. Since the pAsuram says \u201cirundha Uril irukkum mAnidar<\/em>\u201d, the desirable entities are not the people, but the divine abodes. thiruvAimozhi 5.3.11<\/a> says \u201cvaigundhamAgum tham Ur ellAm<\/em>\u201d (the places where those, who are capable of reciting the pAsurams mercifully composed by AzhwAr will be considered as SrI vaikuNtam). Thus, the divine abode gains ascendency over everything else. A few anecdotes are given here by mAmunigaL, to stress this: (1) A SrIvaishNavar once told kUraththAzhwAn \u201cA follower of emperumAn has reached his divine feet\u201d. kUraththAzhwAn told the person \u201cWe should say this way for a person who was focussed on carrying out servitude to bhAgavathas [emperumAn\u2019s followers]. We should say that he has mercifully ascended to the divine land\u201d. (2) We refer to SrivaishNavas taking a bath as \u201cnIrAda<\/em>\u201d (to take a bath) and AchAryans taking a bath as \u201cthirumanjanam paNNa<\/em>\u201d (to engage with divine bath). (3) When a SrIvaishNava informed aruLALap perumAL emperumAnAr \u201cvaduga nambi has ascended to the divine land<\/em>\u201d, aruLALap perumAL was unconscious for some time; later, regaining consciousness, he told the SrIvaishNava \u201cWe should not say that he has ascended to the divine land. We should say that he has attained he divine feet of udaiyavar [rAmAnujar\u201d. It was the same that SrI sabhari too prayed for, at the divine feed of perumAL. (4) kUraththzhwAn was bewildered by life in samsAram. He went to perumAL [at SrIrangam] and prayed at his divine feet \u201cYou should mercifully think in your mind to take adiyEn to the divine land\u201d. When perumAL granted him that in his divine mind, kUraththAzhwAn went to the residence of AzhwAr thiruvarangap perumAL araiyar, in preparation for his final moments. udaiyavar, on hearing this, went to the divine entrance of panjukkottan [present day Arya bhatAL entrance], enroute perumAL\u2019s sannidhi. He desired to retain kUraththAzhwAn for some more time here. He thought \u201cIf I asked perumAL about this, perumAL would acquiesce. Since he has already agreed to grant mOksham to kUraththAzhwAn, for our sake, it should not happen that emperumAn has spoken in two different ways\u201d. Thus, instead of going to perumAL, udaiyavar went to see kUraththAzhwAn and asked him \u201cWhy this, AzhwAn?\u201d kUraththAzhwAn said \u201cadiyEn forgot\u201d [earlier, udaiyavar had told kUraththAzhwAn that he would precede kUraththAzhwAn to reach the divine abode of SrI vaikuNtam]. The reason for his forgetfulness was the bewilderment in samsAram [through these instances, mAmunigaL brings to light that the divine land is more eminent than emperumAn\u2019s divine feet and that the divine feet of AchAryan are more eminent than the divine land].<\/p>\n\n\n\n eththavangaL seydhAr kolO<\/strong> \u2013 thiruviruththam 33<\/a> says \u201caruLAr thiruchchakaraththAl agal visumbum nilanum iruLAr vinai kedach chengOl nadAvudhir \u2013 ivaRRin puRaththAL enReNNO<\/em>\u201d (You are ruling, with the help of the divine disc, both the expansive sky and earth, such that sins, caused by ignorance, run away. Do you think that she is outside the area of your kingdom due to which she has been neglected?) As said in this, staying within emperumAn\u2019s protected area is penance. Again, as mentioned in thiruviruththam 38<\/a> \u201cnIr nilai ninRa thavam idhu kol<\/em>\u201d (people stood in water bodies and carried out penance for a long time), to attain matters relating to emperumAn, the penance to be carried out is one. However, to attain matters relating to bhAgavathas [followers of emperumAn] the penances to be carried out are many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kolO<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr knows the penance to be carried out to attain matters relating to bhagavAn. It is only in attaining matters relating to bhAgavathas that he doesn\u2019t know the penances to be carried out.<\/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 >> Fourth Centum >> Fourth decad Previous avathArikai There is no specific avathArikai for this pAsuram. kurundham onRu osiththAnodum senRu kUdiyAdi vizhAch cheydhuthirundhu nAnmaRaiyOr irAppagal Eththi vAzh thirukkOttiyUrkarundhada mugil vaNNanaik kadaik koNdu kai thozhum paththargaLirundha Uril irukkum mAnidar eththavangaL seydhAr kolO!
