Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Jai Srimannarayana! Pasuram-1.4 na:m avan ivan uvan aval ival uval eval na:m avar ivar uvar adhu idhu udhu edhu veemavai ivai uvai avai nalantheengavai a:mavaiya:ya vaiya:y ninra avare: na:m refers to first and second person and the rest denotes third person. avan ivan uvan includes all men and aval, ivaL, uvaL denotes women among human beings and avar, ivar, uvar refers to divine beings. adhu idhu etc means inanimate things such as trees and hills the same in plural is referred as ivai avai etc. veemavai means all these which are transient. nalantheengavai are that which is good and that which is bad. a:mavai a:yavai refers to the future and the past. All these are nothing but Brahman is meant by a:y ninra avare:. This pasuram implies the import of the upanishad 'sarvam khalu brahma thajjala:n ithi sa:ntha upaseetha.'(Chan.3.14.1) the meaning of the upanishadhic declaration is this: All this is Brahman. He, thath, protects. an, creates, ja and la annihilates and protects all (thajjalAn). This truth should be meditated upon with a calm mind. The word tajjala:n is split as thath+ja+la+an. This pasuram indicates that all beings are Brahman only in reality. He is the inner self of all, which form His body, the sarira-sariri bhava. The implication of the mahavakya , " thathvamasi " , is also stressed by this pasuram of which the subsequent ones elaborate. Jai Srimannarayana!
