3. However, if Lord empowers AzhwAr, AzhwAr says he will carry

out Lord's ANGYAI what ever it may be. (a degree of mAhAvisWasam

is explained here as well)

 

or ie., Else If lord empowers AzhwAr and wishes AzhwAr to clear it

, then AzhwAr says that such ANgYAi or the command of the Lord

will be executed by this surrendered soul faithfully as his duty

or karthvayam. the main emphasis is that AzhwAr is firm on his

prathi koolya varjanam.

 

 

Will merciful Lord ever be pleased or give such an ANGYAI to cut

off those who constantly abuse him or curse him and talk ill of

him ? It is a different question and is time or yugam specific.

Lord will not ask us the klai yuga vaasis to do such now. But

nevertheless Lord has "somewhat" answered this HIMself when

"shishupALan" did so in an other yugam.

 

Was the civil code same as now in the "then" chOla kingdom ? were

there capital punishments for civil offense such as defamtion ?

Well! choLa king has gouged Sri KoorathAzwAr's eys for non

compliance to sign a statement written by him as per the King

it was only a civil disobidience but a horrible punishment was

rendered by him for that.

 

It may be obselete to consider these verses as "punishments for

these days" and reject them on the basis of such considerations.

There are strict civil laws in place in each country for every

civil vioaltions. This pasuram may not be a "code of conduct" in

black and white "law" for a Srivaishnava to follow in the present days.

But this pasuram must be taken in the context as to how seriously

a prapanna must follow perumal's thiru uLLam and how firm he must

be in prathi koolya varjanam. These two angas of sarnagathi are not

based on time.

 

No one need to think that perumAL will ask a prapanna to do so

(cutting ....) these days when they face a situation similar to what

what AzhwAr faced in his days.

 

So what we may know clearly is if perumAL wishes so, AzhwAr will

do so. In other words, it was expressed earlier that "what ever

pleases Lord Sriman nArAyana it is dharmA. Such must be done by an

ardent servant with the propoer guidace of an AchAryA."
