SrI rAmAnuja asked him, \u201cYou said that I need to protect you by performing the tasks on behalf of you just like how a mother protects her child. But look at you. Your bad karma is growing and you do not have any good karma to begin with. How can I protect such a person? <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/mamunigal\/\">maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> replies that if <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/emperumanar\/\">SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> does not protect him, then it will cast a black mark on <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/emperumanar\/\">SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>. This point is being illustrated with an example of a beautiful analogy where people would blame a mother if something happens to her child who does not know how to take care of itself. SAsthram says that if a child under the age of 5 dies, then it is the fault of the mother for her carelessness that caused the death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explanation: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If a child who is under the age of five dies unexpectedly, SAsthram says that the fault falls upon its mother for her negligence. In order to eschew this, a mother should always guard its baby with vigil. The mother should be awake and alert as if she had applied butter in the eyes. Let us say for example that she has a child, who is very young (less than five), goes near a well that is very big and deep. Even though the mother does not see the child&nbsp;going, if something bad happens (child falls in the well and dies), the fault will be borne by its mother. The world will tell that the mother saw the child&nbsp;yet did not pay attention to it. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/mamunigal\/\">maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a> says \u201cOh! <a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">yathirAja<\/a>!!! Similarly, even if adiyEn, who is in the abysmal pit of bad karmas (sins), tries to destroy myself, then please remember the relationship between you and me. You are my mother and I am your son. This very relationship will land you in trouble as the mother will have to be responsible for the child\u2019s death. Hence please look at our relationship carefully and examine my condition again. Hence, adiyen requests you to protect me at all times, just because of our relationship. At this juncture, we need to recollect the same thought that is being told by <a href=\"https:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/18\/pillai-lokacharyar\/\">piLLai lOkAchAryAr<\/a> in his SrIvachana bhUshaNam sUthram #371 \u201c<em>prajayaik kiNaRRin karayil ninRum vAngAdhozhindhAl thAyE thaLLinAL ennak kadavadhirE<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/mamunigal\/\">maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a>\u2019s shrewdness is to be observed in this pAsuram. He simply does not imply that just like how a mother is responsible for her child\u2019s death, <a href=\"ttps:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">yathirAja<\/a> is responsible for his (<a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/mamunigal\/\">maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a>\u2019s) sins. He simply does not mean that here. He says that only his (<a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/mamunigal\/\">maNavALa mAmunigaL<\/a>s) karma is responsible for him to fall in the abysmal pit of sins and consequential sufferings. <a href=\"ttps:\/\/guruparamparai.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/06\/emperumanar\/\">yathirAja<\/a> is no way connected for his sins.
