ACHARYA HRDHAYAM -sUthram 212. Contd.

 

As mentioned earlier, sUthram 210 toes the line of second sriyappadhippadi

correlating thiru voi mozhi with dhvyam.

 

The first sriyappadhippadi inter-alia speaks of artha-panchagam being the prime

focus of thiru voi mozhi.This is explained in detail in sUthram 211.

 

The third sriyappadhippadip padi mentions that the first pAsuram of

thiru-voi-mozhi is the nutshell of the whole thiru voi mozhi.

 

This is elaborated in this sUthram by comparing this with the first pAsuram of

thiru-virutham vis-a-vis artha-panchagam. This was seen in posting 109.

 

Certain further points are also explained in this analysis.

 

avidhyAdhi swarUpam: It was seen earlier, that poi-ninRa gnAnam refers to the

nature of obstacles. How is this?

The lack of knowledge leads to wrong perceptions like thinking that body and

soul is one and the same resulting in endless births and deaths. These further

leads to accumulation of further cause effects of action culminating into pApam

and puNNiyam again accentuating the births and death cycle. Hence, the words " ini

yAm vuRAmai "

 

How then, can this cycle be avoided in future? By His blessings. This is stated

by " mayaRvu aRa mathi nalam aruLinan "

 

The nature of illiteracy and the effects and the way to remove them is given

hereinabove.

 

Atham-Eswara bhandham: The relationship between the Lord and the soul is

highlighted.

 

Thiru-virutham: " imaiyOr thalaivA-----> adiyEAn "

Thiru-voi-mozhi: " athipathi-thozhudhezhu " .

Thus, the relationship between the Lord and the soul is that of shEsha shEshi is

underlined here.
