Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Dear swAmy, Even a casual reading of aruLich cheyal, will reveal that these deities have some powers and even that is derived from EmperumAn. Did EmperumAN say this? Well EmperumAn has demonstrated this which is elaborated in idhihAsa purANam-s and described in aruLich cheyal. The VyAkyAnam-s specially the EDu clearly elaborates this point. 'kANilum vurup polAr sevikkinAdha kErthiyAr, 'PEaNilum varam thara mudukkilAdha dhEAvarai" Thiruchandha vrutham 69; This aspect has been discussed in this forum several times and I hope this suffices. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan - Sampath Kumar ramanuja Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:52 PM [ramanuja] Nava-RathinaMAlai 5 - - question Adiyan Ramanujadasan Did the emperuman said that these deities have only nominal power?
