PIRATTI:

 

 

The Lord Almighty is not only swathanthran but also the one who maintains the

Sasthric rules. He cannot therefore overlook any such determined factors and

grant salvation or relief to anybody.This is a great constraint He has got in

contrast to AchAryan and PirATTi.

 

Notwithstanding this fact, He is full of auspicious qualities which include

motherly love –vAtsalyam, Saulabyam-Easy accessibility; sAuselyam – Affable

nature and so on.

 

When the Supreme nature is predominant these qualities take a subtle role.

 

PirATTi advoacetes for our cause. She argues ‘ Oh! Lord, who do not make

mistakes. If one always harp on these rules, then what will happen to these

auspicious qualities”

 

She thus precipitates these qualities and makes the swAthanthryam to a subtle

state. These qualities shower mercy on the souls and elevate them, despite

their accumulated sins.

 

This is clearly stated in MumUkshuppadi “ purushakAra balathAlEa swAthanthriyam

thalai sAindhAl thalai edukkum guNangaLaich sollugiRAdhu nArAyaNa sabthArtham”

136.

 

That pirATTi argued for the sake of rAkshashi-s who tortured Her is the

outstanding example of Her efficacious advocacy.

 

Therefore, one should consider PirATTi as our well wisher who argues for our

sake with the Almighty, one who suppresses the swAthantrhiyam of the Lord and

brings up His auspicious qualities.

 

Thus She is our mother looking always for our welfare. One should realize that

it is with Her that we are to perform Kainkaryam unto EmperumAn.
