"nAlum thozhumkAdal pooNdEn thozhil" ended thirumazhisaipiran in the

previous paasuram. Immediately a lowkikan enquired, "Is it not enough if we

spend some time for bhagavat vishayam and then engage ourselves with other

activities?" Azhvar answers, "When the time available is not even enough for

enjoying Sri Rama's heroic acts where in world do I have time for other

activities?"

 

 

 

(thozil enakku tollaimAl thannAmamEththa) My only job is to extol the

primordial lord.

 

 

 

Don't we all engage in other activities and also do thirunamasankeerthanam?

Why don't you do the same?

 

 

 

(pozhudenakku maRRadhuvE pOdhum) All my time is spent in bhagavat vishayam.

Infact, most of my time is spent recapitulating the enthralling glories of

chakravarthi thirumagan.

 

 

 

(kazhisinaththa vallALan) one who is outraged and powerful. He (vali) was

so filled with anger that he didn't even have sympathy on his dear brother

who begged pardon under his feet.

 

 

 

(vallAlan) His efficacy is evident from the episode of Vali arresting ravana

like catching an insect.

 

 

 

(vAnarakOn) King of monkeys. He has kept all the monkeys under his control

due to his anger and valor. In contrast, to chakravarthi thirumagan ruling

over ayodhya by love "echchAmOhi mahAbhAhum".

 

 

 

(vallALan madhanazhiththa) Ramapiran broke vali's ego

 

Inspite of sugreeva begging pardon realizing his mistake, vali showed his

aggressiveness, while he accepted friendship from ravana where he should

have shown his actual strength. So emperuman considered it to be fit to

break vali's ego.

 

 

 

(vanarakkOn madhanazhiththa) since he was an animal it was quite appropriate

to kill him from the back as a matter of defence.

 

 

 

(madhanazhiththa vallALan nenjaththuLan) That supreme lord with the bow and

arrow in hand, one who broke vali's ego is always in my mind. Where in the

world can I concentrate on other worldly affairs.
