stop for a couple of weeks for the chance to re-read the

Dvaya PakaraNam in full, before starting on the translation

of the next prakaraNam.

Sutra 187:

This prayer for removing the obstacles in the performance

of the service is also seen in those Azhvar's pasurams

which were written as the talk of the nithyasuris.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Can self satisfaction, which is the obstacle to the service,

happen even in His abode? That this could happen is seen in

Azhvar's pasuram "marundhE nangaL bOga magizhcchikkenRu

perundhEvar kuzhAngaL pidhaRRum pirAn". Azhvar states that

the nithyasuris say "nangaL bOga magizhcchikku marundhE!".

That is, they are saying that He is the medicine that

removes the self gratification that comes to them upon

doing service and experiencing Him and protects their

true nature. Thus, it is shown that there is reason for

the recitation of the nama: even in His abode.
