This pAsuram details the upAuya swarUpam. The next pAsuram details the upEya

swarUpam.

 

We do not have sAsthric/vedic knowledge to attain You(gnAna yOgam).We do not

perform our duties meticulously(karma yOgam).They do not have enough bhakthi

(aRivondrum illAdha).Dont they have enough devotion? Yes they do have devotion

but the devotion is not considered as a means to attain HIm. We are going

behind the cows and our knowledge is naught. Is this a qualification for

attaining emperumAn? Do they have anything else?

Yes they have got Lord krishNA Himself.(puNNIyam yAmudaiyOm).

You have got all the qualities without any dilution (kuRai vondrum illAdha) for

rescuing us.

Okay, He may have all the strengths to save us, but why should He save us. He

has the characteristic to save us ( gOvindhA)

He may have the characteristic to save, but why He should save us- That is

because we are the souls and He is the owner of the souls and this relationship

can never be disowned (vuRavEal namakkingu vozhikka vozhiyAdhu)

Even if we have done any mistakes You please condone us and grant us our

requirement. What is the mistake referred to here. 'sirupEAR'. We had called you

as 'nArAyanA'and this is the mistake we have committed. How is this a mistake?

The ARAyirappadi vyAkyAnam has clearly stated this.

"thangaLukku asAdhAranamAyiruppavanai sAdhAranamAyiruppavan enRu solluvadhu

kuRRamiRE" . The Lord has been very kind to them. He has been one among them

unlike for others. They have expressed the common "nArAyanA" instead of the

unique relatinship.

The term 'nArAyanA' can be expressed for establishing supremacy. For those who

are submerged in His saulabhyam , saushElyam and rakshagathvam-swayed by

'gOvindhA'-is it fair to express the name 'nArAyaNa'? This is being explained

for 'sirupEAr' by swAmi azhagia manavALap peurmAL nAyanAr in the great

ARAyirappadi.

 

The karma,gnAna and bhakthi yOgam are not considred as means by srEvaishNavites.

SAkshAth dharmam is sri krishNA who with His immense strengths and by His grace

can save us, which we realise after considring the relationship with Him and the

emptiness in our hands -as quid-pro-quo.

He is the upAyam.
