ellAm kaNNan.

"chith,achith, prApya,prApagapAsangaLai kai valindhu, kai kazhalak

kaNdum , ellAm kidakka ninaiyAdhu aganRum, ALEr, mEAVEr , vUdhEr,

enRu thadhEya shEshamAkkiyum,puRathittu kAtti enRu prasangikkil

mudiyumpadi vittu.....

thandhai, thAi, vuNNunj sORu, mAnidhi, pUvai yAvaiyum onREA Akki.."

 

Summary:A. Thus, those which have to relinquished including the

sentient, insentient means and ends were all left out by AzhwAr. Was

these left out or withered off is the next question raised? These

automatically withered off akin to a vessel falling from the hand of

the sleeping person-vuRanguvAn kaippaNdam pOl nazhuvum. The point is

that, these do not fall out as an effort but automatically spin off

from AzhwAr, who did not consider these as of any value.

 

B.However, certain things are offered to srEvaishNavic devotees who

are instrumental in making the soul reach the valuable

"parama-padham".

 

C.This world is full of materialistic and physical pleasures. However,

AzhwAr is afraid of these, as these will permanently distance oneself

from the Lord Almighty. Hence, AzhwAr fears these and says to the

Lord " do not distance me from You, by showing these".

 

D.The relinquished list was seen earlier. Now the list which are to be desired are given.

The Lord Almighty is AzhwAr's parents, He is the spiritual guide, He

is all relations, He is wealth, He is all and everything to AzhwAr.

He is food and water, He is the Reserve Fund.

Thus, He is considered by AzhwAr as everything. bhagwadh vishayam is the one ultimate.

 

pAsuram-s:

A. vuRanguvAn kaip paNdam pOle nazhuvum.

The fact that the thins relinquished actually withered off was seen.

"annai mEr aNi mA mayil sirumAn ivaL, nammai kaivalindhu" --thiru voi

mozhi 6-5-7--> In this dhivya dhEsam-tholai villi mangaLam- AzhwAr

deems that all other relations are fictional and the Lord Almighty is

the only natural relation. This is reflected from the term "nammaik

kai valindhu" reiterating that sentient nexus is severed.

 

"izhandhadhu sangEa" ---thiru voi mozhi 6-6-1--> This thiru voi mozhi

'mAlukku' highlights the things that withers off from AzhwAr

automatically. The list goes on, izhandhadhu sangEa, izhandhadhu

mAmai niRamEa, izhandhadhu pEdAE, izhandhadhu paNbEa, izhandhadhu

kaRpEA,

izhandhadhu meyyEA, izhandhadhu sAyEa, izhandadhu mANBEA, thORRAdhu

poRpEA, izhandhadhu kattEA , mentioned in each pAsuram-s

respectively, conforming the fact the insentient things fall off.

 

"emmai onRum ninaithilaLEA" -thiru voi mozhi 6-7-9---> She does not

consider me as an entity is the grievance by mother -thAi.

 

Thus , the sentient and insentient go out of AzhwAr while approaching the Lord Almighty.

 

B. Certain things are offered to devotees who would facilitate the road to thiru nAdu.

 

"ponnulagu ALErO! bhuvani muzhudhu ALErO!" --thiru voi mozhi 6-8-1;]

The worlds and the

"neyyamar pAl adisil nichal pAlodu mEAvErO!"--thiru voi mozhi 6-8-2;

] good things are offered

for His devotees.

C The worldly pleasures distance us from You.

"ennaip puRathittu innam keduppAyO'---thiru voi mozhi 6-9-8-------->

By keeping me here, You are distancing me from You.

"pala nE kAttip paduppAyO'----------------- thiru voi mozhi

6-9-9-------->I am afraid of these ends. Do not distance me by

showing these ends.

 

D. He is everything and everyone for AzhwAr.

 

The things that were left off were seen hereinabove. What is the state of AzhwAr now:

 

"vuNNum sORu, parugu nEr, thiNNUm veRRilai, ellAm kaNNan"---thiru voi

mozhi 6-7-1--- He is the food and water for AzhwAr.

"dhEva pirAnaiyEa thandhai thAi enRu adaindha"--thiru voi mozhi

6-5-11---> He is the parent of AzhwAr.

"vaitha mA nidhiyAm"--------> thiru voi mozhi 6-7-11----> He is the

Treasure Chest, Reserve Fund, Wealth for AzhwAr.

"pUvai, pain kiligaL, pandhu , thUdhai , pUm puttilgaL, yAvaiyum ,

thirumAl, thiru nAmamEa kUvi ezhum"---> thiru voi mozhi 6-7-3 wherein

even playthings spell out the divine name of the Lord, thus the Lord

becoems everything and everyone for AzhwAr.
