[the divine consort of SrI mahAlakshmi) Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, Sriya:pathi! Apart from reciting the divine name of nAraNA<\/em>, I do not know of any advantage or disadvantage. Your highness would see that apart from your highness, I do not praise anyone, with desire in other benefits, saying deceptive words. I do not know of any manner to think of you. I kept saying namO nAraNA<\/em> forever. When AzhwAr said this, emperumAn tells him \u201cYou say like this; this appears to be strong!\u201d AzhwAr says \u201cThe strength for me is that I am a SrIvaishNavan, dwelling in your proximity\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n nanmai \u2026<\/strong> – I do not know whether my reciting the divine name of emperumAn ends up as an advantage or a disadvantage for emperumAn. If one looks at the samsAri [dweller in materialistic realm], it would appear to be full of fault while if one looks at emperumAn, it would appear to be full of auspicious qualities. If one looks at the samsAri, it would appear like an offender and if one looks at emperumAn, it would appear like one who tolerates offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nAraNA ennum iththanai allAl<\/strong> \u2013 Just as it has been mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 1.4.5<\/a> \u201cnalgaththAn AgAdhO nAraNanaik kaNdakkAl<\/em>\u201d (When you see nArAyaNan, ask him whether he would not shower his mercy only on me, the sinner), it is the divine name which manifests the quality of tolerating offences [by remaining as antharyAmi of all, it is clear that he remains inside each entity despite their faults and offences; thus, he tolerates offences]. It is the place where he tolerates the offences of samsAris and does not give up on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n punmaiyAl<\/strong> \u2013 due to lowliness [of desiring benefits other than emperumAn, the ultimate benefit].<\/p>\n\n\n\n unnai<\/strong> \u2013 you, who are the supreme entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n puLLUvam pEsi<\/strong> \u2013 I do not say deceptive words, such as those mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 5.1.4<\/a> \u201cen koLvan unnai vittu<\/em>\u201d (I, the deceptive person, would say words of praise, deceptively, such as \u2018leaving aside you, which benefit will I have?\u2019) punmai<\/em> \u2013 desiring other benefits; nanmai<\/em> \u2013 desiring mOksham.\u00a0 In the arumpadham<\/em> [explanation for difficult-to-understand phrases] for this vyAkhyAnam, the following has been mentioned (the three quotations from nAlAyira dhivya prabandham have been taken from periyavAchchAn piLLai\u2019s vyAkhyAnam :\u00a0 When asked whether those who are followers of emperumAn would recite the divine names of emperumAn to sustain themselves, AzhwAr says, as in thiruvAimozhi 3.7.5<\/a> \u201cperumakkaL<\/em>\u201d (nithyasUris, who have the greatness of having qualities which are similar to those of emperumAn); such eminent persons would recite the divine names of emperumAn as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 7.4.4<\/a> \u201dpErALan pErOdhum periyOr<\/em>\u201d (eminent entities who recite the divine names of emperumAn); if prayOjanAnthaparars<\/em> (those who desire benefits other than emperumAn) praise him, would it lead to any fault for emperumAn? He says that this is the case, as mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 3.1.8<\/a> \u201cmAsUNA vAn kOlaththu amarar kOn<\/em>\u201d (if brahmA, who is showered with unblemished knowledge, and who is the lord of celestial entities praises you, it would lead to reduction in radiance of your divine feet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n thirumAlE<\/strong> \u2013 the qualified entity to praise him is only maithili<\/em> (sIthAp pirAtti) as mentioned in periya thirumozhi 2.3.7<\/a> \u201c\u2026 maithiliyum iravum nanpgalodu thudhi seyya ninRa<\/em>\u201d (you are present to be praised by sIthAp pirAtti through night and day\u2026). She praises him due to overflowing affection for him. Just as praising you is saththA sidhdhi<\/em> for her [reason for her existence), as mentioned in nAchchiyAr thirumozhi 8.4<\/a> \u201cthannAgath thirumangai<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn is residing in thirumalai, carrying the distinction of having pirAtti on his divine form), for me too, reciting your divine names is saththA sidhdhi<\/em> (sustenance). Alternatively, this term [thirumAlE<\/em>] would indicate sarvAdhikathvam<\/em> [superior to everyone else], since he has SrI mahAlakshmi as his divine consort. thiruvAimozhi 1.10.7<\/a> says \u201cvAnavar sindhaiyuL vaiththuch chollum selvan<\/em>\u201d (emperumAn has the wealth of being meditated upon by nithyasUris, as the one who sustains them etc, and as their supreme lord); thus, his divine names will gain radiance when qualified entities recite his name and will lose strength when recited by those who seek other benefits. When emperumAn tells AzhwAr \u201cLeaving aside other benefits, recite the divine names as a means for attaining mOksham\u201d, AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that AzhwAr asks emperumAn whether he [AzhwAr], who is completely devoted to pirAtti, should fear about offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n unnumARu onRum aRiyEn<\/strong> \u2013 I do not know the manner of meditating upon you forever, as mentioned in SAsthrams [sacred texts]; vEdhams will say that emperumAn could be reached through bhakthiyOgam<\/em> (the path of devotion). But, this becomes prApakAntharam<\/em> [following other means, to attain emperumAn, instead of attaining him through himself]. AzhwArs will never engage in these means].<\/p>\n\n\n\n OvAdhE namO nAraNA enban<\/strong> \u2013 for aiSvarya kAmar<\/em> [those who desire wealth], once they get their desires fulfilled, they will stop reciting the divine name of nArANan. For upAsakar<\/em> [those who wish to attain emperumAn through the path of bhakthi<\/em>, devotion], once they attain bhakthi<\/em>, they will stop reciting the divine name. However, for prapannars<\/em> [those who have surrendered to emperumAn], since this [reciting the divine names] is the benefit, this recitation will never stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OvAdhE<\/strong> \u2013 if this changes [viz. if I stop reciting the divine names], my existence will be disturbed. emperumAn tells him \u201cWhen you do not recite, you say that your existence will be threatened; if you recite, you say that it will lead to fault on me; this is very skillful!\u201d AzhwAr tells him further that there is no shortcoming for that skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that AzhwAr tells emperumAn that since he does not desire other benefits, he will continuously meditate on thirumanthram, with its meanings. The strength for him comes out of residing within the boundaries of emperumAn. Dwelling in the abode desired by emperumAn is his refuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n un kOyilil \u2026<\/strong> – vanmai<\/em> \u2013 strength. Since AzhwAr resides in the temple, he does not have any attachment with anything outside the temple. Since he does not desire any benefit other than emperumAn, this indicates the royal clan to which he belongs [the clan of those who have surrendered to emperumAn].<\/p>\n\n\n\n kOyilil vAzhum<\/strong> \u2013 as mentioned in SrI rAmAyaNam AraNya kANdam 1.20 \u201cbhavath vishaya vAsina<\/em>:\u201d [the sages tell SrI rAma when he enters dhaNdakAraNya forests that they live within the kingdom, ruled by him] and in thiruviruththam 33<\/a> \u201civaRRin puRaththAL enReNNO<\/em>\u201d (Do you think that she lives outside the boundaries of your kingdom?) AzhwArs desire to stay within the abodes which emperumAn desires to reside. This is the one which they [entities such as AzhwAr] consider as their benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 4th<\/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 >> Fifth Centum >> First decad Previous avathArikai In the svApadhESam, the following has been mentioned: When emperumAn asks AzhwAr as to what is the basis for his servitude, AzhwAr says \u201cIt is the strength of being a SrIvaishNavan, living in your abode\u201d. nanmai theemaigaL … 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":[10,717,728],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi-5th-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63164","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=63164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63235,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63164\/revisions\/63235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
