You would see that for a spotted deer, if an additional spot goes on its skin, it will not increase the faults on its skin. Assuming that emperumAn asks him the reason for compelling him like this, AzhwAr says \u201cOh, one who swallowed all the seven worlds in your divine stomach, during the time of deluge, protecting them and who subsequently spat them out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>sazhakku<\/strong> \u2013 fault.

Even when the hands are without anything, your beauty is such that one should ward off evil eyes. Oh, one who is holding the divine SrI pAnchajanyam and the divine disc, as if holding flowers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>pizhaippar Agilum<\/strong> \u2013 assuming that emperumAn asks him \u201cLooking at our eminence and your lowliness, would you still recite it?\u201d AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>pizhaippar Agilum<\/strong> \u2013 even if one were to commit a fault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>tham adiyAr sol<\/strong> \u2013 since these are words mentioned by an exclusive servitor [reference here is to AzhwAr], it is apt for eminent people to put up with such words. Since it is the servitor who said it, it should be tolerated; and, since he [emperumAn] is having eminence, it should be tolerated. When emperumAn says \u201cWe shall tolerate, provided that there is no other protector for you\u201d, AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>vizhikkum kaN ilEn nin kaN maRRu allAl<\/strong> \u2013 other than your divine glance, I do not have any other protector. emperumAn then responds, saying \u201cIf there is another entity, who is a protector or enjoyer like us, there is no shortcoming in holding on to such an entity\u201d. AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The svApadhESam says here: Other than your cool glance, I do not have anyone else who would glance at me with such coolness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>vERu oruvarOdu en manam paRRAdhu<\/strong> \u2013 my servitude towards you is not based on your auspicious qualities, but on my nature [of being a servitor].

Already I have committed many faults. This additional fault too would become a matter for your divine quality of forgiving\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Uzhi Ezhulgaum uNdu umizhndhAnE<\/strong> \u2013 Is there anyone among the samsAris, who has not carried out a fault towards you?
