SrIrangam, which has that splendour, is the dwelling place of one, who is my lord, who went to mahAbali, as a dwarfed bachelor, controlled mahAbali\u2019s vanity, took back the kingdom from him, and in a moment gave him space in the nether world for dwelling, feeling happy that he had fulfilled the desire of indhra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n kuRat biramachAriyAy<\/strong> \u2013 as a bachelor, who is dwarfed. kuRaL<\/em> \u2013 just as a huge material is shrunk into a small material, emperumAn shrunk his huge form such that he could be seen with the eyes and enjoyed. Just as milk, when heated continuously, becomes lesser in volume, yet tastier [than the original], his smaller divine physical form too was full of charm. thirumangai AzhwAr celebrated this beauty in his\u00a0thiruvAimozhi 1-8-6<\/a> \u201cpulan koL mANAy<\/em>\u201d (having the divine form of a dwarf, which was enchanting for the senses). It was with this divine form that he attracted mahAbali. biramachAriyAy<\/em> \u2013 this was another means to attract others. With the sacred thread, deer skin and the sacred grass worn as a belt, emperumAn looked handsome, as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 4.4.7<\/a> \u201cpongilangu purinUlum thOlum thAzha<\/em>\u201d (with the sacred thread, having well grown radiance and shining, and the deer-skin hanging down). indhran, the head of celestial entities, came with tears in his eyes to emperumAn, beseeching him \u201cI have lost my kingdom; you should mercifully redeem it for me\u201d, taking refuge under emperumAn. emperumAn thought \u201cOne who is famous has seized indhran\u2019s kingdom. Unlike rAvaNa, we cannot kill him, since he has the quality of magnanimity. Without any contrariety to the two [getting back the kingdom and mahAbali\u2019s quality of magnanimity], how should we complete the task? If he is willing to give, let us go and seek alms from him\u201d. It was due to this thought that he took the form of a brahmachAri<\/em> [a student], who is used to seeking alms, as a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that emperumAn, as vAmana, was such short that the dwarfs in that place appeared well grown and tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n mAvaliyai<\/strong> \u2013 just as it has been mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 9.8.7<\/a> \u201ckOvAgiya mAvaliyai<\/em>\u201d (mahAbali, who considered himself as the lord of three worlds),\u00a0 mahAbali seized the kingdom, granted by emperumAn to indhran, through his strength and remained as uncontrollable by anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kuRumbu adhakki<\/strong> \u2013 just as people in the world seize the properties of helpless and harmless people, making them as their own and do not come under anyone\u2019s control, mahAbali seized the property of others, considering it as his own, and remained without any fear as if enjoying his own possession. kuRumbai adakki<\/em> \u2013 destroying the pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n arasu vAngi<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn went to mahAbali, with the divine, physical beauty and enchanting form, stealing the mind of mahAbali.\u00a0He uttered a few words, which were a misfit, as mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 3.8.9<\/a> \u201ckoLvan, nAn, mAvali, mUvadi, thA<\/em>\u201d (Oh mahAbali! I shall accept three steps of land. Give). He softened mahAbali\u2019s heart with his words, made him to pour water and give whatever he had asked for, without hearing the words of people such as Sukra et al, who said \u201cHe has come to carry out the task for celestial entities. He has come to seize all your wealth\u201d. He accepted water poured by mahAbali, on his divine hands [as a symbol of accepting the offer], hands which had only given and attained radiance and had never accepted anything from anyone, as mentioned in nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 11.5<\/a> \u201cpoRkaiyil nIr ERRu<\/em>\u201d (took alms on his beautiful hands), taking back the kingdom of indhran, from mahAbali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n iRaip pozhudhil<\/strong> \u2013 he carried out this task in a moment, without stretching the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n pAdhALam kalavirukkai koduththu<\/strong> \u2013 He had sought three steps of land. With two steps, he measured all the worlds. Just like keeping the person in prison until he gives the third step, emperumAn made pAthAlam<\/em> [nether world] as the dwelling place for mahAbali, as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 3.4.1<\/a> \u201conRum tharuga enA mAvalaiyaich chiRayil vaiththa<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn\u00a0 placed mahAbali in the nether world, asking him to [give land] for one more step). The term kalavirukkai koduththu<\/em> refers to the fact that unlike a prison, that place [in nether world] was an enjoyable place for mahAbali. kalavirukkai<\/em> refers to the heart being joyful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is said in svApadhESam that kalavirukkai<\/em> refers to the place desired, fitting well with the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ugandha<\/strong> \u2013 giving mahAbali, his dwelling place [thus making him happy], emperumAn gave back the kingdom to indhran, and felt happy, thinking \u201cWe have made the one, who surrendered, to come out of his loss\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n emmAn kOyil<\/strong> \u2013 it is the divine temple, where, one, who is my swAmy [lord], resides forever to give himself to ananya prayOjanar<\/em> [those who do not desire other benefits].<\/p>\n\n\n\n eRippudaiya maNi varai mEl<\/strong> \u2013 over a mountain of bluish gemstones, which are effulgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In svApadhESam, it is said that young suns rise over a mountain, which appears like crystalline gemstones. The brightness on the spread hoods of thiruvananthAzhwAn appeared like the rays of carbuncle gemstone. It is pertinent to recall perumAL thirumozhi 1.1<\/a> \u201csudar maNigaL imaikkum neRRi<\/em>\u201d (effulgent carbuncles shine brightly on the forehead of thiruvananthAzhwAn)<\/p>\n\n\n\n iLa gyAiRu ezhundhARpOI<\/strong> \u2013 just like young suns rise up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n aravaNaiyin vAy siRappudaiya paNangaL misaich chezhu maNigaL vitteRikkum<\/strong> \u2013 the huge gemstones on top of thiruvananthAzhwAn\u2019s spread hoods will shine brightly. As a result, for those who enjoy the divine form of periya perumAL reclining on top of that thiruvananthAzhwAn, which looks like a mountain of emerald, as mentioned in thirumAlai 2<\/a> \u201cpachchai mAmalai<\/em>\u201d (having a divine physical form, which is like a huge emerald mountain), that splendour from that thiruvananthAzhwAn would appear bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thiruvarangamE<\/strong> \u2013 the meaning mentioned above, has become a distinction for this place.<\/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 >> Ninth decad Previous avathArikai AzhwAr says that SrIrangam is the divine abode for one who removed the vanity of mahAbali. kuRat biramachAriyAy mAvaliyaik kuRumbadhakki arasu vAngiiRaip pozhudhil pAdhALam kalavirukkai koduththu ugandha emmAn kOyileRippudaiya maNi varai mEl iLanAyiRu ezhundhARpOl aravaNaiyin vAychchiRappudaiya paNangaL … 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-62891","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\/62891","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=62891"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62918,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62891\/revisions\/62918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
