TiruvAymozhi & Bhagavad Gita

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

 

Dear bhAgavatAs,

Humble pranams to all. Continuation from where we left off.

 

2)"Nithyathva anithyathvam" AH 189

 

AtmA nilaiththadhu;sharIram nilaiyaRRadhu

 

BG(2.18): anthavantha imE dhEhA nithyasyOktha: sharIriNa: |

anAshinO pramEyasya thasmAdh yuDhyasva bhAratha ||

 

The material body of the indestructible,eternal(in existence) soul is

perishable.

 

NammAzhvAr: "minnin nilaiyila mannuyir AkkaigaL" - TVM 1.2.2

"uLLadhum illadhum" - TVM 1.2.8

explains the eternity and the indestructibility of the soul/Atma and

the perishability of the body/sharIra

 

BG(7.4): bhUmir ApO nalO vAyu: kham manO bhudhDhir Eva ca |

ahamkAra ithIyam mE bhinna prakrthir aShtaDhA ||

 

(7.5): aparEyam ithas thvanyAm prakrthim vidhDhi mE parAm |

jIva bhUthAm mahA bAhO yayEdham DhAryathE jagath ||

 

Earth,fire,water,air,ether,mind,intelligence/intellect and ego are the

eightfold divisions of Mine(KrShNA). It is very clear that BhagavAn

is the Atma of all the sentient and the non-sentient things.

 

NammAzhvAr: "parandhadhaN paravaiyuL nIr thoRum parandhu uLan

parandha aNdam idhu ena nilam visumbu ozhivu aRak

karandha sil idam thoRum idam thigazh poruL thoRum

karandhu engum parandhu uLan" - TVM 1.1.10

 

He spans the entire ocean by dwelling in each and every water droplet

in the ocean;likewise He spans the entire earth,AkAsh etc. He lives

in the sUkshma sharIra and the soul that housed in it, as that can

not be seen.

 

BG(18.61) Ishvara: sarva bhUthAnAm hrdhEshErjuna thiShTathi |

bhrAmayan sarva bhUthAni yanthra rUDAni mAyayA ||

 

Bhagavan resides in the heart of all living entities;He administers

them based on their karmas and activates their movements(by residing

in them)like baggages on a carousel/conveyorbelt(which transports

materials/packages/etc from one place to another) in airport.

 

NammAzhvAr:says the same thing in his pAsuram TVM 1.1.6

 

"ninRanar irundhanar kidandhanar thirindhanar,

ninRilar irundhilar kidandhilar thirindhilar"

 

3)"niyanthrthvam-AH 189". This shows His potency and administration.

Sri Azhagiya MaNavALa PerumAL NAyanAr uses the same numbering for

comparison/equivalence of the two. It will change when he says TVM is

superior to BG!

 

PS:This is my poor translation of BG(know little bit of samskrt)as

well as AH. Please do not hesitate to correct me at the right time.
