periyAzhwAr thirumozhi<\/a> >> Fourth Centum<\/a> >> Eighth decad<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n avathArikai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the last pAsuram of this thirumozhi, AzhwAr mercifully speaks about the respect he has towards those who praise emperumAn with this thirumozhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n paruvarangaL avai paRRip padaiyAliththu ezhundhAnaich<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n paru<\/em> \u2013 huge Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n emperumAn had destroyed the vanity which rAvaNa had about the huge boons which he had obtained from brahmA et al, when rAvaNa rose up in battle against emperumAn. emperumAn killed him in the battle and has the wealth of valour. periyAzhwAr had mercifully explained about the divine abode, SrIrangam, where such emperumAn dwells, mentioning the divine name of SrIrangam<\/em> in every pAsuram, as a garland of thamizh. AzhwAr further says that he, along with those who are connected to him, would become servitors to those, who praise emperumAn, who had burnt the physical forms of the monsters, madhu and kaitabha, with the hot breath of AdhiSEshan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n paruvarangaL avai paRRi<\/strong> \u2013 considering the huge boons, granted by brahmA et al, as a great strength for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says, in his svApadhESam, that rAvaNa thought that a few boons, which he had obtained from brahmA, Isan [rudhran] et al, not knowing that they were only superficial, lasting only up to the time of those who had granted them, came with vanity to fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n padai Aliththu ezhundhAnai<\/strong> \u2013 rAvaNa, who came to fight, with vanity, considering himself as great, as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 4.4.6<\/a> \u201cthAn pOlum EnRu ezhundhAn<\/em>\u201d (rAvaNa considered himself as the king of demons and came opposing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n seruvarangap porudhu azhiththa<\/strong> \u2013 in the battle, emperumAn destroyed that rAvaNa such that all his vanity was removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that emperumAn, with his wealth of valour, made that rAvaNa to be disgusted by playing with him, not following the rules of war, by telling him \u201cGo to your palace now and come back tomorrow\u201d. SrIrangam is the divine abode, where such emperumAn lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvALan thiruppadhi mEl<\/strong> \u2013 regarding the divine abode dwelt upon by one who has the wealth of valour. More than the prominence for emperumAn, who is the lord, it was the divine abode of thiruvarangam, which became the matter for these pAsurams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the divine abode on which periyAzhwAr had composed the ten pAsurams, as mentioned in thirumAlai 11<\/a> \u201cnam sEvaganAr maruviya \u2013 madhiL thiruvarangam periya kOyil<\/em>\u201d (the huge temple at thiruvarangam is the abode where our periya perumAL, who had destroyed rAvaNa, dwells permanently), since the divine name thiruvarangam<\/em> is repeated in all the ten pAsurams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvarangath thamizh mAlai \u2026<\/strong>– considering these ten pAsurams, which have been composed as a garland of thamizh, with the word thiruvangam<\/em> occurring in every pAsuram, explained expansively by periyAzhwAr<\/p>\n\n\n\n iruvarangam eriththAnai<\/strong> \u2013 one who burnt out the physical forms of the two monsters, madhu and kaitabha, with the hot breath of thiruvananthAzhwAn [AdhiSEshan]. It is pertinent to recall mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 66<\/a> \u201ckAyndhiruLai mARRik kadhir ilagu mAmaNigaL, Eyndha paNakkadhir mEl vevvuyirppa, vAyndha madhukaitabarum vayiruRugi mANdAr<\/em>\u201d (the great gems present with AdhiSEshan removed darkness with a fury. The two monsters, madhu and kaitabha, who came there, got burnt out, with their bowels rotting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eththa vallAr adiyOmE<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr gathers those who have taken refuge under his affection, and tells those, who learn these pAsurams and praise emperumAn, who annihilates the enemies of his followers, and who praise him, that they [AzhwAr and his associates] will be servitors [to those who praise emperumAn with these pAsurams]. Through this, he mercifully manifests the regard which he has for those who praise emperumAn, with these pAsurams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that those who are capable of praising periya perumAL, who removes the enemies of his followers, with the ten pAsurams composed by periyAzhwAr. AzhwAr says that he will be a servitor, along with those who have taken refuge under his affection to such people. This decad is AzhwAr\u2019s \u201cpayilum sudar oLi mUrththi<\/em>\u201d and \u201cnedumARku adimai<\/em>\u201d [in these two decads, referred to here, nammAzhwAr says that he will be the servitor to the followers of emperumAn; in the same way, periyAzhwAr says in this thirumozhi that he will be a servitor to the followers of emperumAn]. When periyAzhwAr had said in thiruppallANdu 11<\/a> \u201cnAnum unakkup pazhavadiyEn<\/em>\u201d (I have been your servitor since time immemorial) he felt that he had left out the followers of emperumAn. Again, in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4.4.11<\/a>, when he said \u201cendhammai viRkavum peruvArgaLE<\/em>\u201d he expressed his pArathanthryam<\/em> [total dependence] on the followers of emperumAn but had not explicitly mentioned about his SEshathvam<\/em> [servitude] towards them. He did not feel happy when he had composed those pAsurams; it is only here that he became happy, mercifully stating \u201cEththavallAr adiyOmE<\/em>\u201d (we are servitors to those who are capable of praising emperumAn].<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvAimozhip piLLai raises a question here, answering it himself, subsequently. He says that iruvar angam eriththAn<\/em> refers to burning the physical forms of the monsters madhu and kaitabha. Did they not get burnt down, by the hot [poisonous] breath of thiruvananthAzhwAn [AdhiSEshan]? Just as it has been mentioned in SrI rAmAyaNam AraNya kANdam 34.13 \u201drAmasya dhakshiNObAhu<\/em>:\u201d (lakshmaNa is considered as the right hand of SrI rAma) as well as in periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4.7.1<\/a> \u201cthadindha em dhASarathi<\/em>\u201d, though it was lakshmaNa who had severed the ears and nose of sUrpaNakhA, this action has been attributed to SrI rAma since lakshmaNa is considered as the right hand of SrI rAma. AchchAn piLLai would explain this as follows -Though sAmAnAdhikaraNyam<\/em> does not apply here [since the two entities, SrI rAma and lakshmaNa are different], since lakshmaNa could be considered as having sAyujya<\/em> with SrI rAma [both having equal enjoyment of specific auspicious qualities], and since lakshmaNa would act as per the wishes of SrI rAma only, the action of lakshmaNa could be considered as having been performed by SrI rAma himself. In the same manner, though it was AdhiSEshan, who had burnt down madhu and kaitabha, this could be attributed to emperumAn. thiruvAimozhip piLLai continues with the vyAkhyAnam now: Alternatively, the term iruvar<\/em> could be considered as referring to chANUra and mushtika, the two wrestlers who were killed by krishNa. However, they were not burnt down, as mentioned in this pAsuram, but were thrown forcefully in the arena, like a plough made of bronze is thrown. It could be considered that they were burnt in the fire of their ego; or, if they had stepped back from fighting with krishNa, they would have been killed by the fire of kamsan\u2019s anger. Or, when they saw krishNa approaching them after killing the massive, exulting elephant kuvalayApeedam, they got killed in the fire of their fear. It is pertinent here to recall periya thirumozhi 5.10.4<\/a> \u201ceRiya avar vayiRu azhal ninRa perumAn<\/em>\u201d (when the demons came to fight with emperumAn, he closed his fist and punched them such that they died, with their stomachs burning). Just as it has been mentioned in nArAyaNOpanishadh \u201cnabrahmA nESAna<\/em>:\u201d (before creation, when neither brahmA nor rudhra was present), before all these fires, kAlAgni<\/em> [the fire of deluge] would have burnt them many times over. However, instead of considering that, it is proper to consider that they were burnt down by the fire of AdhiSEshan\u2019s breath, which was like a log of wood, burning their forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the pravEsam of this the next 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 >> Eighth decad Previous avathArikai In the last pAsuram of this thirumozhi, AzhwAr mercifully speaks about the respect he has towards those who praise emperumAn with this thirumozhi. paruvarangaL avai paRRip padaiyAliththu ezhundhAnaichcheruvarangap porudhu azhiththa thiruvALan thiruppadhi mElthiruvarangath thamizh mAlai vittu chiththan … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,717,726],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62727","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\/62727","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=62727"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62815,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62727\/revisions\/62815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
