Teliyatha Marai Nilangal Teligindrome-9

 

The concluding pAdA of the mantra describes Emperuman

entering all created beings/ objects as their

antaryAmi.(“vivEsa bhootAni charAcharANi”).Elsewhere

,in the AraNyakA too, this is reiterated thus-“anta:

pravishta:shAstA janAnAm sarvAtmA”, “anta: pravishtam

kartAram Etam” etc.

Azhwar’s comments are as follows-

“chikkena siridOr idamum purappaA tannuLLE ulagugaL

okkavE vizhungi pugundAn”

“ennudaya aakkai uLLum aavi uLLum alla purattinuLLum

neekam indri engum niraindAi”

“padar poruL muzhuvadumAi avai avai tOrum udal misai

uyirena karandengum paranduLan” etc.

 

 

Having conclusively established Paramatma as the cause

of the universe,( jagat kAraNa vastu) the Upanishad

moves on to revel in His auspicious attributes. After

all, the purpose of any shAstrA, be it the Sruti or

its upabrahmaNAs, is to capture, to the extent

possible, the kalyAna gunAs and swaroopam of the

Ultimate. Thus in the next mantra, some of the most

descriptive and beautiful words are employed by the

veda purusha to describe Emperuman’s Paratvam. The

Sruti is so taken up with this particular attribute,

that it never misses an occasion to reiterate it

(paratvam) at every available opportunity.

“ata:param nAnyat aNeeyasam hi parAt param yet

mahatO mahAntam”

The Lord is shown here to be greater than the

greatest,(parAt param) bigger than the biggest (mahatO

mahAntam), subtler than the subtlest (ata: param

nAnyat aNeeyasam).

Ever faithful to the Sruti, Kurugur Nambi too sings

paeons to Emperuman’s paratvam, and according to

poorvAchAryAs, the first decad of the Tiruvaimozhi

(mudal patthu) is supposed to be all about His

paratvam (this is not to say that this gunA does not

figure in the other decads )- a few verses follow for

a sample-

“uyarvara uyar nalam udayavan”

“ottAr mikkAr ilayAya mAmAyA”

“eppAl evarkkum nalatthAl uyarndu uyarndu”

“seelam ellaiyilAn”

“parama paramparan”

« paranjOthi nee paramAi nindru igazhndu pin matrOr

paranjOthi inmaiin padiyOvi nigazhgindra paranjOti

GovindA »

« ellayil seer en karu mANikka chudarai »

« tannoppAr illappan » etc.,etc.

The biggest known entity in this universe is the

Moola Prakruti, comprising of all matter and from

which this world is created. That Emperuman is bigger

than this Prakruti, is brought out by the sreesooktis

at the fag end of Tiruvaimozhi-“soozhndu adanil periya

en para nanamalar sOdeeyO”.

-to be continued.dasan,sadagopan.
