thirup pAvai - part 52 - nArAyaNaNan namakkE - "for ours only"

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

So long we have been seeing the nAmam "nArayaNaNE"

and its meanings, superiority, speciality, the EkAram, its

inner meanings and the implied patham as "nArAyaNan oruvaNE"

and its justifications. The word "nArAyaNaNE" is also seen

with respect to us the Aaychiars or "namakkE" as well. We all

(Aaychiars) have to seek the blessings from "nArAyaNan

oruvaNE". We have to avoid annydEvathAs and this may also be

seen as a reference to prathi koolya varjanam. ie., The word

nArAyaNE or "nArAyaNan oruvaNE" is also meant that HE alone

is the "para deivam" & our (Aaychiars) parama purushan. Those

of us who are observing this nOnbu must seek blessings only

from HIM.

 

In tamil the word "nAm" is a plural and stands for the

english word "we". The word "nam" stands for "our" and

"namakku" stands for "for ourself". The word namakkE stands

for "Only for ourselves". ie., the EkAram brings in the word

"only" in addition to "nAm". We can see that the word "only"

is definetely a direct meaning for this word "namakkE", while

it was not a direct meaning for the word "nArAyaNaNe". The

word "namakkE" can be meant in two different way as well.

Since we have dealt the meaning of "nArAyaNan alone or

nArAyaNan only" or "nArAyaNan mattumE" in the earlier part,

we will deal the meaning of "For ours only" which is a

contination to the previous part. However, We will deal

"the main" meaning for the word "namakkE" in the next part.

 

The patham "For ours only" or "only for ourselves"

or "nammkku mattumE" is used as "namakkE" in spoken tamil

often. "nArAyaNaN namakkE, nAm nArAyaNaNukkE". ie This EkAram

is also seen by some as an expression for conveying an

"EkabOga Urimai" for themselves. ie., They want to claim

exclusive and sole proprietorship for each other by citing

this EkAram at the end. nArAyaNan is only for us and we are

meant only for HIM. As a creator HE owns us all. As a

patthini we own HIM for ourselves. We are very possessive of

HIM and HE is very possessive of us.
