Mumukshuppadi - 128

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

129. thiruvadiyaip poRuppikkumavaL thansolvazhi varumavanaip

poRuppikkas solla vENdAviRE.

 

Meaning:

Sh was able to make Hanuman change his mind when he wanted

to kill the rakshasis who had tortured Her when she was

imprisoned. Therefore, is there a need to wonder that She

should be able to make Her consort, who listens to Her,

change His mind.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

All of the previous points are true. But, Sriman Narayana

is supremely independent. If He decides that He will not

forgive the sins of the chetanas and will punish them

for those crimes, will Mahalakshmi be able to stop Him?

 

This argument is made by those who are not aware of Her

abilities. During Her imprisonment in Lanka, She was

tortured without stop by the rakshasis who surrounded Her.

Upon seeing that, Hanuman had decided that he will take

care of them after Sri Rama's victory. Once Ravana was

killed, Hanuman went to Her and asked Her permission to

kill those rakshasis. At that point, She advised Hanuman

and made him change his mind. When She is able to make

one who would not listen easily to anyone change his

mind, what is the need to question that She should be

able to change the mind of Her consort who delights in

Her ("allimalar magaL bOga mayakkukkaLAgiyum niRkum

ammAn") and who always listens to Her, even in the

instance when She asks Him to go after a false deer

("ninnanbin vazhi ninRu silaipidiththempirAnE").
