periyAzhwAr thirumozhi<\/a> >> Fourth Centum<\/a> >> Tenth decad<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n avathArikai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AzhwAr tells emperumAn \u201cYou, who are omnipotent, should be my protector in my last stages of life\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n thuppudaiyArai adaivadhellAm sOrvidaththuth thuNaiyAvar enRE<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n arangaththu aravu aNaip paLLiyAnE<\/em> \u2013 Oh, one who is reclining on the mattress of AdhiSEshan in SrIrangam! <\/em>Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, one who is mercifully reclining on the mattress of AdhiSEshan, at SrIrangam! I am taking refuge under you, since you will support me when my senses are fatigued. Even though I am not like other people who are qualified to surrender to you, I have surrendered to you, since you had showered your mercy on SrI gajEndhrAzhwAn, an elephant. When the three physical disorders of vathA, piththa<\/em> and kapa<\/em> distress me, I will not be able to think of you, at that juncture. Hence, I am mentioning now itself, when my senses and physical conditions are normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n thuppudaiyArai adaivadhu<\/strong> – \u00a0thuppu<\/em> \u2013ability; taking refuge under one, who has the ability to protect. While AzhwAr is addressing emperumAn, in his presence, he is referring to emperumAn in the third person. This is a mode of addressing a person, combining second and third person categories. It is referring to emperumAn only. The usage of Ar<\/em> instead of ar<\/em> [as in thuppudaiyAr<\/em>] is to indicate a person with reverence. The ability to protect is absent with other entities [only emperumAn is capable of protecting all]. parama samhithai says \u201cnasampathAm samAhArE vibathAm vinivarthanE<\/em> \u2013 samarthO dhruSyathE kaSchinnam vinA purushOththamam<\/em>\u201d (Apart from that purushOththaman, there is none who is visible, who is capable of giving opulence and removing dangers, fully). SrI vishNu purANam 1.22.21 says \u201cnahi pAlana sAmarthyam ruthE sarvESvaram harim \u2013 sthithau sthitham mahAprAgya<\/em>! bhavathyanyasya kaSyachith<\/em>\u201d (Oh, one who has great intellect! Isn\u2019t it well known that apart from sarvESvaran hari, there is none who has the capability to protect!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n ellAm sOrvidaththu<\/strong> \u2013 this refers to the final stages, when the sensory organs have become fatigued and the mind too has become fatigued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n thuNaiyAvar enRE<\/strong> \u2013 in the situation where one is lying like a log of wood or like a stone [as mentioned in varAha charama SlOkam “kAshta pAshANa sannibham<\/em>“, like a log or stone], one would expect support from the supreme entity, saying \u201c\u201daham smarAmi<\/em>\u201d [again, from varAha charama SlOkam, when emperumAn says that he will remember]. Hearing this, emperumAn tells AzhwAr \u201cThat is what we do. However, that is for those who know the connection with us [that we are the lord, you are the servitor, we are totally independent and you are totally dependent etc]. It is applicable for those who have surrendered once to us. Are you equivalent to those?\u201d AzhwAr responds …<\/p>\n\n\n\n oppilEn Agilum ninnadaindhEn<\/strong> \u2013 Even though I do not match them, due to my overflowing sorrow, in order to overcome that sorrow, without looking at my qualification, I have surrendered to you. emperumAn asks AzhwAr \u201cAfter seeing which entity that we have protected, have you come to us?\u201d AzhwAr responds \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anaikku nI aruL seydhamaiyAl<\/strong> \u2013 since you had showered your mercy on an elephant, which had only eagerness [to attain you] and no other refuge. When emperumAn told him \u201cIn that case, just like that elephant did, you too think of us when you are fatigued. We shall come and protect\u201d, AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n eyppu ennai vandhu naliyumbOdhu angEdhum nAn unnai ninaikka mAttEn<\/strong> \u2013 when I am troubled by the three disorders of vAtha, piththa<\/em> and kapham<\/em>, I will not be able to think of you even to a little extent. emperumAn asks him \u201cIn that, what do you wish to do?\u201d AzhwAr says<\/p>\n\n\n\n appOdhaikku ippOdhE solli vaiththEn<\/strong> \u2013 to make good that time, when my senses and physical form are in balanced state without any fatigue, I am telling you now itself. emperumAn asks him \u201cWhat is the compulsion for us to recall this and to protect you, if you mention now itself?\u201d AzhwAr responds \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyAnE<\/strong> \u2013 is it not for protecting like this that you have left kshIrAbdhi<\/em> which is at a far distance and reclined on thiruvananthAzhwAn, in the temple at SrIrangam? Is this yOganidhrA<\/em> [emperumAn reclining mercifully, thinking of ways for protecting the world] similar to that yOganidhrA<\/em> [the one in kshIrAbdhi<\/em>]? Is this not for protecting the lowly people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 2nd<\/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 >> Tenth decad Previous avathArikai AzhwAr tells emperumAn \u201cYou, who are omnipotent, should be my protector in my last stages of life\u201d thuppudaiyArai adaivadhellAm sOrvidaththuth thuNaiyAvar enREoppilEn Agilum ninnadaindhEn Anaikku nI aruL seydhamaiyAleyppu ennai vandhu naliyumbOdhu angu Edhum nAn unnai ninaikka mAttEnappOdhaikku … 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-62995","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\/62995","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=62995"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63017,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62995\/revisions\/63017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
