ParjanyA dhEVathai and Messengers of yamadhArmaRajan subservient to SrivaishNavites

 

Sri KUrathAzvAn response to a quesiton indicated the fact that even other deities are subservient to SrivaishNavites.

 

Let us slightly elaborate on this point.

 

 

Here is an Extract from TiruppAvai -4 which adiyEan had written some years back, where this is elaborated.

 

 

On seeing the girls performing the pAvai nOmbu, the rain dhEvthA comes to them and waits for their command with the intention of doing a part in the activities of bhAgwadhAs-kinchitkarithal. On this, the girls asked him to bring rain so that the world should feel "O! the nOmbu has commenced and the rain has come" and gave it written in a piece of paper for rememberance (kaiOlai seidhu kodukkiRArgaL-கையோலை செயà¯à®¤à¯ கொடà¯à®•à¯à®•à®¿à®±à®¾à®°à¯à®•à®³à¯).

The dhEvthAs are thus give a helping hand to srEvaishnavites. They are bound to so.

On a question that why srEvaishnavites do not approach dhEvthAs, sri kUrathu AzhwAn expressed that the question should be,'why dhEvthAs do not approach srE vaishnavites?'

How come that sreevaishnavites who are longing for being with Lord KrishNa can approach other dhEvthAs for these matters is another question raised. The response is that, on the contrary dhEvthAs approach sreevaishnavites for kainkaryam.

Is it possible that dhEvthAs who are on an elevated pedestal descend to do kainkaryam for sreevaishNavites. When Lord KrishNa Himself descend into the AippAdip peNgaL and do as per their wishes, can't dhEvthAs do this?

This can be clearly understood from thiru mazhisaip pirAn's pAsuram "thiRambEan min kaNdEr thiruvadithan nAmam, maRandhum, puRam thozhA mAndharதிறமà¯à®ªà¯‡à®©à¯ மின௠கணà¯à®Ÿà¯€à®°à¯ திரà¯à®µà¯à®Ÿà®¿à®¤à®©à¯ நாமமà¯-மறநà¯à®¤à¯à®®à¯ பà¯à®±à®®à¯ தொழா மாநà¯à®¤à®°à¯ 'nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi 68.

The king of yama lOka yamadharmarAjA advised to his emissaires that "beware when you see sreevaishnavites. If you show your supremacy on them, my supremacy will be lost". On this, they enquired "All along, we were thinking that you were our lord. is there anybody else?". "Yes, those devotees who do not even worship other dhEvthAs even by loss of memory, are to be worshipped. Hence, when you see such type of devotees, give them respect and go past their way pleasantly" is the instructions given by yamA. It is pertinent to note that Yama Darma Rajan took his emissaries aside and whispered this in their ears, lest these SrIvaishNavites should hear that. This is akin to the fact that one whispers when talking about the Royal Queen-patta mahishi. (karNa mUlEa- whispering on the ears)

The same sentiments are exprssed in the pAsuram-s "avan thamar evvinaiyar Ayinum...naman thamarAl arAyap pattaRiyAr" mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 55, "mARu seidha vAL arakkan" thiruch chandha virutham 116 and "vaLLale undhamark enRum naman thamar kaLLar pOL' periya thiru mozhi 8-10-7.

It may, thus be, inferred from the above explanations and quotes that:a. dhEvthAs are inclined to do kainkaryam to sreevaishnavites,b. In fact, they rever the sreevaishnavite"s whenver they meet them or otherwise,c. The question should be what should be their attitude when they see us rather than our attitutde when we see them and hence, the rain dhEvthA approaching the AippAdip peNgaL for this kainkaryam is fitting within the sreevaishnavic parlance.

THE Value of SRIVAISHNAVITES

 

What would Sri KurathazvAn svAmi do on meeting other deities ?

 

His response was ' You are addressing the wrong person. Actually you should ask this question to these deities -What would they do, if they come across a SrivaisHNavite. YOur quesiton is in contrary to SAsthric doctrines"

 

From NAlAyirappADI vyAkyAnam of TiruppAvai.

 

The underlying meaning here is that all deities are not just subservient to The Almighty but also subservient to SrivaisHNavites"

 

Earlier we saw the value of AruLic-cheyal and now we see the value of SrivaishNavites being highlighted by none other than Sri KUrathAzvAn
