Guest guest Posted December 25, 2001 Report Share Posted December 25, 2001 T 10.NOTRU SUVARGAM There are two addresses in the vocative case in this pasuram - NOTRU SUVARGAM PUKUKINRA AMMANOY! and ARUN KALAME! - both bring out the excellences of this gopi and thereby imply the excellent characteristics of good Sri Vaishnavas. 1. SUVARGAM here means only union with God. Sita says,while pressing Rama to take her with Him to the forest," If I am with you that is heaven for me.Separation from you means hell." The girl here has completed all her rites by surrendering to the Lord and hence is enjoying His company.So also for a Sri Vaishnava there remains nothing to be done by way of" Upaaya" after accepting Him as the sole refuge(SARANAGATI). 2.ARUNKALAME! "Kalam" has two meanings (a) vessel and (b) ornament; A Sri Vaishnava is the vessel to contain His Grace.A Sri Vaishnava possesses superior ornaments in the form of virtues;or he himself is the best ornament embellishing the gatherings of other Sri Vaishnavas. SUVARGA can also be broken up into SU+VARGA (SU=good VARGA=gathering).If a man possesses all good qualities he will be taken into the fold of Sri Vaishnavites.
