vidhi 2

[Guest guest]

agalvadhu O! vidhi inanEA/inamEA

 

swAmi nam-AzhwAr has also used the term 'vidhi' in the sense of

sin/misfortune. After, kEsavan thamar however, the term -vidhi- is

referred to as the Grace of the Lord.

 

In the 4th thiru-voi-mozhi of the first ten in the second pAsuram

AzhwAr expreses that she has to get separated and distance away from

Him due to Her accumulation of sins. "Is it because that I am a

sinner that I have to get far from You?" is the expression.

 

"en seiyya thAmaraik kaN perumAnArk en thUdhAi,

en seiyyum vuraithak kAl, inakk kuyilgAL nEralirEa,

mun siedha muzhuvinaiyAl thiruvadikkEzh kuRREaval,

mun seiya muylAdhEn, agalvadhu O! vidhi inanEa/inamEa" 1-4-2;

 

"agalvadhu O! vidhi inanEA"

 

However, if the final word is taken as inam i.e 'vidhi inam' then this

is extended as innam and the meaning as opined by sri piLLaith

thiruNaRayiur araiyar is " Having known that I do not have anything

positive on my side, is it still your thought to distance myself from

You?' Here, the term 'vidhi' is referred as the thought of the Lord

Almighty.

 

Thus,

If the term is taken as vidhi inan= vidhi is sin/pApam.

If the term is taken as vidhi inam=vidhi is the thought of the Lord.
