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 earlier pAsurams [5.1.4 and 5.1.5], AzhwAr had mentioned that emperumAn\u2019s divine feet are his dhArakam, pOshakam<\/em> and bhOgyam<\/em> (that which sustains, which nourishes and which gives him enjoyment). When the physical form is still present, is it possible to be like that? AzhwAr says mercifully in this pAsuram that he does not engage with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kaNNA<\/em>! nAnmuganaip padaiththAnE<\/em>! kAraNA<\/em>! kariyAy<\/em>! adiyEn nAn<\/em> Word-by-Word Meanings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n kaNNA<\/em> \u2013 as krishNa, who is the most easily accessible Simple Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, one who is the most easily accessible krishNa! Oh, one who created brahmA! Oh, one who created primordial matter, prior to creating brahma! Oh, one who has the complexion of a dark cloud! For me, your servitor, the day that I do not eat is not the day that I become hungry. It is on those days when I do not recite namO nArAyaNAya<\/em> forever or the days when I do not recite rig, yajur and sAma vEdhams, proffering just then blossomed flowers at your divine feet, when I become hungry. When there is any disturbance to those activities, those days are my days of hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n vyAkhyAnam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n kaNNA<\/strong> \u2013 Oh, one who became the easiest to approach, such that people would say \u201cAfter incarnating as krishNa, emperumAn stood to be easily approached\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that one who created brahmA in his divine navel is the one who also incarnated as the easiest-to-approach krishNa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n nAnmuganaip padaiththAnE<\/strong> \u2013 who is such an easy-to-approach entity? One, who created brahmA in his divine navel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n kAraNA<\/strong> \u2013 prior to creating brahmA, oh, one who created prAkrutha srushti<\/em> [creating the primordial matter, as a precursor to creating all the other entities, through brahmA]!<\/p>\n\n\n\n kariyAy<\/strong> \u2013 apart from being the causative entity and being simple, even if you were the most-difficult-to approach entity, your beauty is such that you could not be disregarded. The verses should be rearranged as kAraNA \u2013 nAnmuganaip padaiththAnE \u2013 kaNNA \u2013 kariyAy<\/em> to get the sequential meanings. emperumAn tells AzhwAr \u201cThe one which you described now is our svarUpam<\/em> [basic nature]. What is your svarUpam?<\/em>\u201d AzhwAr says \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n adiyEn nAn<\/strong> \u2013 I am your exclusive servitor. [emperumAn asks him] However, since you are with a physical form, what is the sustaining material for this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n uNNA nAL pasiyAvadhu onRu illai<\/strong> \u2013 [the days that I do not eat are not my days of hunger]. When, then, are you hungry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n OvAdhE<\/strong> \u2013 without stopping<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, the following has been mentioned: When emperumAn asks AzhwAr as to what he desires, AzhwAr says that he wishes to recite continuously the divine name, which is the basis for removal of ahankAram<\/em> [ego] and is the meaning for svarUpam<\/em> [that one is an exclusive servitor of emperumAn], for sAdhanam<\/em> [that emperumAn is the means to attain him] and purushArtham<\/em> [reciting his divine name is the ultimate benefit]. This has to be recited with the thought that emperumAn is the purushArtham<\/em>. Also, AzhwAr says that he wishes to recite the three vEdhams which are the explanation for the divine name, proffering just-then-blossomed flowers at the divine feet of emperumAn. The days when he is unable to carry out these activities, are days when he fasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n namO nAraNA enRu eNNA nALum<\/strong> \u2013 Since he says \u201cnamO nAraNA<\/em>\u201d he rejects dhEhAthmAbhimAnam<\/em> [considering the physical form as AthmA; the term nama<\/em>: refers to the person affirming that he does not belong to himself] and meditates on the divine name [nArAyaNan<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n irukku esur sAma vEdha nAN malar koNdu<\/strong> \u2013 it is not sufficient to merely recite namO nAraNA<\/em>. He engages with perundhirup pAvAdai<\/em> [during festival times, perum<\/em> [lot of] food is proffered to emperumAn on a huge cloth, which is called as thiruppAvAdai<\/em>. This festival is called as perum thirup pAvAdai<\/em>]. thirumanthram [divine eight syllables] is concise; vEdhams are expansive. It is pertinent to recall iraNdAm thiruvandhAdhi 39<\/a> \u201cmAdhavan pEr solluvadhE Oththin surukku<\/em>\u201d (reciting the divine names of emperumAn is the gist of vedham).<\/p>\n\n\n\n avai thaththuRumAgil<\/strong> \u2013 since AzhwAr says \u201cavai thaththuRumAgil<\/em>\u201d [If there is a hurdle for achieving them, viz reciting namO nAraNA<\/em> and reciting vEdhams, proffering flowers], it is clear that such an event should not happen. Since he had already said that he does not feel hungry on a day when he does not eat and also when he recites \u201cOvAdhE nAraNA<\/em>\u201d, such an eventuality should not happen. If it happens that way [in other words, he is not able to recite namO nAraNA<\/em> or when he is not able to proffer flowers, reciting the three vEdhams], then that is the day when AzhwAr goes hungry. The authentication for approaching emperumAn with flowers is vEdham. This is also mentioned in thiruvAimozhi 1.4.9<\/a> \u201cnAdAdha malar nAdi<\/em>\u201d (offering rare flowers at emperumAn\u2019s divine feet). For samsAris, both the visible and invisible entities are in the materialistic realm only. Also, the means and ultimate benefit are in the materialistic realm only for them. For upAsakars<\/em> [those who engage with bhakthi yOgam<\/em> (the path of devotion to attain emperumAn)], the means is in their hands [practicing bhakthi yOgam<\/em>]. The ultimate benefit is ISvaran<\/em> [emperumAn]. For AzhwAr, the day when he goes hungry is the day when he does not get near emperumAn\u2019s divine feet. The days he eats is when he gets near emperumAn\u2019s divine feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n pasi Avadhu<\/strong> \u2013 when he gets hungry. When he recites namO nAraNA<\/em>, his hunger vanishes. The days when he does not recite forever, the divine name of emperumAn and when he does not recite vEdhams, proffering flowers at the divine feet of emperumAn, are the days when emperumAn does not accept him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n avai thaththuRumAgil anRu enakku avai pattini nALE<\/strong> \u2013 thaththuRugai<\/em> \u2013 facing hurdle. Through this, AzhwAr affirms that they will not change. If they change or if they are made to change \u2013 in other words, instead of exclusively looking up to emperumAn as the ultimate benefit, looking at other benefits and desiring them [those days will become days of hunger].<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the svApadhESam, it is mentioned that the days when he does not recite emperumAn\u2019s divine name and the three vEdhams, his svarUpam<\/em> [that he is a servitor] gets destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We shall next consider the 7th<\/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 earlier pAsurams [5.1.4 and 5.1.5], AzhwAr had mentioned that emperumAn\u2019s divine feet are his dhArakam, pOshakam and bhOgyam (that which sustains, which nourishes and which gives him enjoyment).
