Kanninun Siruththambu Tenth Pasura Vyakhyana Saram Excerpted from Sri Nanjeeyar

and Nampillai's Vyakhyanam

 

Full details of the vyakhyana saram for this and previous pasurams can be seen

at http://www.acharya.org/vyakyanam/kst/index.html

 

Meaning:

Even though having no use from them (who are saved by him), and even though they

are unqualified to be saved, by his act Sathakopa Muni, who is from

Thirukkurugoor which is surrounded by gardens with singing nightingales,

corrects and saves them. I seek his great divine feet and begin to show my

affection.

 

Vyakhyana Saram:

Madhurakavi Azhvar thinks of the great help that Sathakopa Muni did to him and

realizing that the bhakti he showed him is nothing compared to that help, begins

to perform love at his divine feet immediately. Thinking of that great help, he

says that he can never repay that. One can never repay an acharya ("krutasnAm vA

pruthivIm dadhAnna tattulyam kathanjcana"). After all, the acharya gives us

nothing less than Him and the only equal thing to repay with is Him. As we

cannot do that, Madhurakavi Azhvar stands at the position that he can never

repay his acharya.
