thirup pAvai - part 44 - Sarva sakthitthuvam and Irakkam

 

Sri PV Pillai adds that "aRintha padiyE kAryam seykaikku

sarva sakthi Aka vENum; ie Having known everything from where

ever HE is, one must also execute HIS duty of protecting all of

us from whereever HE is and HE must do such protection with

great ease. ie Sometimes protection is the toughest job that

many cannot do it themselves. HE must do such act very easily

that which is impossible for others (other demigods). By doing

so, it is said that our Lord possesses the kalyana guna known as

sarva sakthithuvam. By using the word "kathir pOl mugatthAn", it

is said that our Lord has the capacity achieve whatever HE wants

and that the reference to "kathir" denotes his parAkrama. HE is

the one with a face that is similar to the bright sun such that

HE is full of superior "sakthi" or energy that prevades the

entire universe. Thus, His sarva sakthitthuvam is implied by

referring to HIS ability to achieve anything as similar to the

Sun. ie In tamil the word "kathir" or "sooryan" is often used to

refer to the "veRRi koLLum thanmai".

 

Sri PV Pillai further delivers that, "sarva sakthan

AnAlum ivan pakkam oNRum nacchAthu Ozhigaikku avAptha samastha

kAmanAga vENum"; ie., HE may the most powerful. But HE must be

one who doesnot expect any help or palan from anyone at anytime.

HE must be the "provider" and not the "taker". The tamil word

"kArmEmi" refers to HIS nature of doing "kAryAm" without

expecting any palan from anyone at anytime as similar to the

clouds. So by being one who doesnot expect any "prayOjanam" from

anyone HIS thirumEni is described as kArmEni and such imply HIS

thiruk kalyana guna "avAptha samastha kAmatthuvam".

 

Finally Sri PV pillai says that "anAthi kAlam karmA anu gunamAga

aRutthu aRutthuth theeRRugaikku karuviyAgap pOntha

ivai rakshaNatthukku uRuppu agAikku irakkam vENum". ie HE must

have a component of "irakkam", mercy or daya such that HE can

relieve all from the bondages of karma that has been accumulated

for a very long time. This is again referred by the word "kathir

and kAr". is., Sooryan is the one who clears the external

darkness and as similar to "kathir", HE is the one who will

clear the intrenal darkness that our AthmA is surrounded due to

its accumulated karmA. As similar to the "kAr" or clouds always

have sympathy and come down to pour its tears from the sky when

a good soul is suffering. It tenders the hearts of many and

thereby make them aware of the sufferings of a good soul and

help saving them in someway. As similar to this, it is said that

our Lord never waits for even a second to act when HIS adiyArs

are undergoing a trouble or suffering. It is said that HE not

only feels for HIS adiyArs plight but also rushes to save them

atonce due to HIS infinite mercy as similar to "kAr" in "kArmEni".

 

While doing the thirup pAvai vyAkyAnam, it is said by

our poorvAchAryAs that these thiruk kalayAna gunAs are all

addressed by Lord Sri Krishna in Srimad bagawath Geetha while

delivering the charama slOkam itself. Hence it is expected

that Sri ANDAL would have somehow delivered implicitly about

these thiruk kalyAna gunAs prior to addressing Sri Krishna as

the paratthuvam in this pAsuram. The inner meanings of charama

slOkam is also addressed to jivAtmAs in detail by the AchAryas

during mantra upadEsam at the time of prapatti.
