In the eighth pAsuram – AzhwAr<\/a> considers brahmA who has ubhaya bhAvanA [both karma bhAvanA – engaging in worldly activities and brahma bhAvanA – engaging in meditation etc upon bhagavAn] as good as vanaspathi (plant) and says “if there were a greatly wise brahmA who has ultimate intelligence and even if he praises you, that will only conceal your greatness”.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, AzhwAr<\/a> says “even if brahmA becomes reformed to have ultimate knowledge and starts praising you, would your radiance not be concealed [by that]?”.<\/p>\n

Eighth pAsuram. Some explain this as – In previous pAsuram, AzhwAr<\/a> said that “those dhEvathAs starting with rudhra cannot praise emperumAn<\/a>” and in this pAsuram, he says “even if brahmA who is the father of rudhra praised you, that will only cause you disgrace”. bhattar mercifully explains this as –\u00a0 Even brahmA was included in previous pAsuram. Here, AzhwAr<\/a> is saying “instead of this brahmA who has ubhaya bhAvanA, if there is a brahmA who is fully engaged with brahma bhAvanA alone, even his praising will lead to blemish for your highness”.<\/p>\n
