periyAzhwAr thirumozhi<\/a> >> Fifth Centum<\/a> >> First decad<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n avathArikai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had manifested his ananyaprayOjanathvan<\/em> (the quality of not desiring any benefit other than emperumAn) through the verse \u201cpunmaiyAl unnaip puLLuvam pEsip pugazhvAn anRu kaNdAy<\/em>\u201d\u2019. Through this [4th<\/sup>] and next [5th<\/sup>] pAsuram, AzhwAr mercifully explains this. In the previous pAsuram, prApthi<\/em> [refuge] and rakshakathvam<\/em> [being protected] were mentioned [by mentioning about kOyilil vAzhum vaittaNavan<\/em>, AzhwAr had explained his prApthi<\/em>; through OvAdhE namO nAraNA enban<\/em>, he had explained about emperumAn\u2019s rakshakathvam<\/em>]. This pAsuram mentions ananyaprayOjanathvam<\/em> [not desiring other benefits].<\/p>\n\n\n\n nedumaiyAl ulagu Ezhum aLandhAy<\/em> ninmalA<\/em>! nediyAy adiyEnaik<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n nedumailyAl<\/em> \u2013 through incarnation as thrivikrama Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, one who measured all the worlds as thrivikrama, with your divine feet and one, who is pure! After killing kamsan, who indulged in cruel deeds, oh, one who had snapped the strong lock which had been applied on the chain, which was used to bind the legs of your father SrI vasudhEvar! Do not have any doubt about making me as your servitor. I do not desire for dress and food, from you. Since I am going to enter the regal clan of \u201cservitude<\/em>\u201d the dress and food [mentioned earlier], would come in those births.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n nedumaiyAl ulagEzhum aLandhAy<\/strong> \u2013 while seeking, emperumAn went with a short form, while for measuring, he increased his form substantially. thiruppAvai 3 says \u201cOngi ulagalandha<\/em>\u201d (the one, who grew tall and measured all the worlds). He is said to have a divine form which is unique; it was that divine form which he transformed; [normally] he gives to his followers all the time with his divine hands; [but, as the dwarf, vAmana] he took, with those divine hands. It was not with lengthened divine feet that he measured; it was with greatness [the word nedumai<\/em> has several meanings such as height, length, extension, greatness etc].<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned as follows: Oh, one who transformed your divine form, which does not change, to make it beyond estimation of anyone and pervaded all the worlds, measuring them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ninmalA<\/strong> \u2013 Since this was done for the benefit of others, the two defects mentioned earlier [changing his form and taking something with his hands from someone, which have only given to others] do not apply for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nediyAy<\/strong> \u2013 this [increased] form was unapproachable for those who are inimical towards him and easily approachable for those who are his followers. thiruvAimozhi 10.5.9<\/a> says \u201camararkku ariyAnaith thamargatku eLiyAnai<\/em>\u201d (he is difficult to attain for those, such as brahmA et al, who desire other benefits while he is easy to attain for those who desire to serve him).<\/p>\n\n\n\n adiyEnai<\/strong> \u2013 I did not desire the quality of magnanimity, like mahAbali, and neither did I desire the three worlds, like indhran. My svarUpam<\/em> [basic nature] is one of servitude. If you accept that and grant it, it would suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kudimai<\/strong> \u2013 to take me as a servitor. You should mercifully accept my servitude, which is in line with my svarUpam<\/em>. While accepting \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n aiyuRa vENdA<\/strong>– you need not suspect any svAthanthryam<\/em> [that I am independent of you] and svaprayOjanam<\/em> [that I desire a benefit other than you]. I am ananyaprayOjanan<\/em> [not desiring any other benefit]. emperumAn tells him \u201cSince you have a physical form, you would need water, food etc to sustain and nourish it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n kURai sORu vEnduvadhillai<\/strong> \u2013 Since I have entered the regal clan [of servitors], I get all my tastes fulfilled in the taste of servitude. One\u2019s sustenance, nourishment etc are based on the svarUpam<\/em> that one considers to be one\u2019s. Since I am distinct from my physical form, sensory pursuits such as Sabdham<\/em> etc [sound, feel, vision, taste and smell, which are for aiSvarya kAmar<\/em> or those who desire wealth] are not my end-goals. Since I am parathanthran<\/em> [dependent on you], svAnubhavam<\/em> [kaivalyam<\/em> or AthmA enjoying itself instead of enjoying emperumAn] is not my end-goal. Since my svarUpam<\/em> is permanent, the svarUpam<\/em> will not get destroyed [the philosophy of adhvaithis<\/em> is negated here]. Since my gyAnam<\/em> [knowledge] and guNam<\/em> [qualities of AthmA] are permanent, the qualities will not get destroyed [the philosophy of naiyAyika<\/em> is negated here]. AzhwAr says that for a SEshabhUthan<\/em> [servitor], SEshavruththi<\/em> [engaging with activities of servitude] alone is the ultimate goal. emperumAn says \u201cIf that is the case, what should we do for you?\u201d AzhwAr says that emperumAn should remove any attachment towards worldly pursuits and should remove karma<\/em>, which is the basis for attachment. He gives examples for each of these two hurdles, further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, the following has been mentioned: I do not sustain myself with food, water etc. I sustain myself only through kainkaryam<\/em> [servitude].<\/p>\n\n\n\n kodumaik kanjanaik konRu<\/strong> \u2013 just as you had killed kamsan, who had killed six infants by hitting them against stone, you should kill my attachment towards worldly pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nin thAdhai<\/strong> \u2013 just as you had incarnated in order to sever the chains from the feet of your father, you should remove my karma<\/em>, which is the bondage with samsAram. Here, the term karma<\/em> refers to avidhyA<\/em> [ignorance], karma<\/em> [past deeds], vAsana<\/em> [footprints in the mind gathered over countless births], ruchi<\/em> [taste in worldly pursuits] which are all bound together in our nature. You should sever these from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kURai sORu ivai vENduvadhillai<\/strong> \u2013 he negates any desire in these. He also negates any expectation from emperumAn regarding these. emperumAn asks him \u201cWhat is it that you desire?\u201d AzhwAr says that he desires servitude, which is his purushArtham<\/em> [end-goal or ultimate benefit].<\/p>\n\n\n\n kOyinmai<\/strong> \u2013 purushArtham<\/em> [the ultimate benefit]<\/p>\n\n\n\n anagangE kURai sORu ivai \u2013 pOdharum<\/strong> \u2013 angangE<\/em> \u2013 in whichever place I am in; in whichever birth I have taken, starting from celestial, human etc species. Since he says adimai \u2013 pOdharum<\/em> it is evident that his kURai<\/em>, sORu<\/em> will come from his servitude itself. It is pertinent to recall perumAL thirumozhi 5.9<\/a> \u201cninnaiyE thAn vENdi<\/em>\u201d (just as wealth will attain a person, even if the person is not interested in it, I will remain desirous of attaining you, even if you disregard me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 5th<\/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 previous pAsuram, AzhwAr had manifested his ananyaprayOjanathvan (the quality of not desiring any benefit other than emperumAn) through the verse \u201cpunmaiyAl unnaip puLLuvam pEsip pugazhvAn anRu kaNdAy\u201d\u2019.
