ugakkum

 

pASuram 11.3(eleventh tirumozhi - pAsuram 3 pongOdam

SUzhnda)

 

em vaLaiyAl avar iDar tIrvArA?

 

po’ngu Odam SUzhnda bhuvaniyum viNNulagum

a’ngu Adum SOrAmE ALginRa em perumAn

Se’ngOl uDaiya tiru ara’ngac celvanAr

em kOl vaLaiyAl iDar tIrvar AgAdE

 

A. Meaning from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

tiru ara’ngattu SelvanAr is the sovereign ruler of

this Earth surrounded by the mighty oceans, as well as

SrI vaikunTham, and is ruling all of these to the

point of perfection and with righteousness. Doesn’t

He have enough wealth? Did He need to usurp my kOl

vaLai (the bangle in my hand) also? I hope that this

takes care of His poverty.

 

B. Additional thoughts from SrI PVP:

 

po’ngu Odam SUzhnda bhuvaniyum: The earth is bounded

by the oceans on all four sides. Even though they are

pounding the earth with powerful waves on all sides,

still they do not exceed the bounds of the earth.

Even though this is the rule for even the earth and

the oceans, somehow He does not respect any bounds in

my case, and freely exceeds them.

 

viNNulagum: paramapadam does not have any bounds like

bhUmi does. So He can do whatever He wants there.

Even then, He would not cross the bounds there (as He

is doing here in the bhUmi which has bounds).

 

a’ngu Adum SOrAmE ALginRa: This Earth and

SrIvaikunTham are two aspects of His wealth (ubhaya

vibhUti). He takes care of both His vibhUti-s without

any let-down. When this earth is destroyed, He

protects it in His stomach, and during SRshTi kAlam,

He re-establishes it in a sthUla state. He protects

His nitya vibhUti in SrIvaikunTham by giving the

permanent enjoyment of Himself to the nitya muktAs.

 

emperumAn: He is treating me as a third vibhUti by

making sure I am not protected as either part of His

lIlA vibhUti or part of His nitya vibhUti; instead, He

treats me as His third vibhUti, and uses me to rule

over me by giving me only pain and misery. I do not

belong either here or there and am suffering in the

middle.

 

Se’nkOl uDaiya tiruvara’ngac celvanAr: By His mere

samkalpam, He makes everyone in SrIvaikunTham follow

His Will; As if this is not enough, He came here and

lied down in tiru ara’ngam. But it is not the periya

perumAL of tiru ara’ngam who is ruling over the leelA

vibhUti and the nitya vibhUti; it is His mere Se’nkOl

that is at His command that is taking care of the

administration of the ubhaya vibhUti-s.

It is not that He is going to get His wealth enriched

just by having my vaLai. It is only to torture me

that He is doing this.

 

C. Additional thoughts from SrI PBA:

 

ANDAL feels: Even though He is “avApta samasta kAman

– He Who already has whatever He wants”, He made it

appear that He was deficient in some way, and stole my

bangles. So be it! Let His dAridryam be removed by

this act of His!

 

D. Additional thoughts from SrI UV:

 

Adum SorAme: Earlier, we saw SrI PVP interpret this

as “ruling the ubhaya vibhUti-s without any let-down”.

One of the interpretations given by SrI UV is “He is

taking care of the bhuvani and paramapadam without

ever being tired”.

 

SelvanAr: He is Sriyah pati, and is it not a great

wonder that He still needs my vaLai for His

sustenance?

 

iDar tIrvar: It is a wonder that He who rules over all

the worlds and paramapadam needs my bangles to remove

His poverty – to remove His iDar.

 

It can be argued: “emperumAn is the svAmi for these

bangles also. He is using them as He wishes. What does

it matter where my bangles fall out? It is His tiru

uLLam that He makes them fall and He enjoys the

situation. He can take them wherever He wants. The

ocean with its rising waves is all His. What could we

have done if my bangles had fallen out in the ocean?

He owns the viNNulagu also; even if He owned only tiru

arangam, we could not have retrieved my bangles. He

might have given paramapadam to my bangles”.

 

Another way to look at this is that the loss of this

wealth is one more step in removing ANDAL’s worldly

belongings. If all attachment to worldly belongings

is removed, this leads to “removal of all obstacles –

iDar tIrdal”.

 

em kOl vaLai: The plural “em” is used to denote that

the bangle is common to both emperumAn and her. The

greatness is that He has given her the bangle that is

capable of removing even His own poverty.

 

em kOl vaLaiyAl iDar tIrvar AgAdE: In the last

pASuram ANDAL made reference to her “kazhal vaLai”, or

the bangle that is meant to be removed easily. Here

she is referring to “kOl vaLai”. SrI UV distinguishes

the two by pointing out that kazhal vaLai-s are the

ones that are loosely worn and make jingling sounds

when coming into contact with each them, and the kOl

vaLai-s are the ones that are worn tightly. In

ANDAL’s case, these are also being lost to emperumAn.

 

 

iDar tIrvar AgAde: This can be taken to mean “there

is nothing that He is going to achieve by having my

bangle, and all that results is that you and I keep

worrying about it”.
