Summary:A. Thus, those which have to relinquished including the sentient,

insentient means and ends were all left out by AzhwAr. Was these left out or

withered off is the next question raised? These automatically withered off akin

to a vessel falling from the hand of the sleeping person-vuRanguvAn kaippaNdam

pOl nazhuvum. The point is that, these do not fall out as an effort but

automatically spin off from AzhwAr, who did not consider these as of any value.

 

B.However, certain things are offered to srEvaishNavic devotees who are

instrumental in making the soul reach the valuable " parama-padham " .

 

C.This world is full of materialistic and physical pleasures. However, AzhwAr is

afraid of these, as these will permanently distance oneself from the Lord

Almighty. Hence, AzhwAr fears these and says to the Lord " do not distance me

from You, by showing these " .

 

D.The relinquished list was seen earlier. Now the list which are to be desired

are given.

The Lord Almighty is AzhwAr's parents, He is the spiritual guide, He is all

relations, He is wealth, He is all and everything to AzhwAr. He is food and

water, He is the Reserve Fund.

Thus, He is considered by AzhwAr as everything. bhagwadh vishayam is the one

ultimate.

 

pAsuram-s:

A. vuRanguvAn kaip paNdam pOle nazhuvum.

The fact that the thins relinquished actually withered off was seen.

" annai mEr aNi mA mayil sirumAn ivaL, nammai kaivalindhu " --thiru voi mozhi

6-5-7--> In this dhivya dhEsam-tholai villi mangaLam- AzhwAr deems that all

other relations are fictional and the Lord Almighty is the only natural

relation. This is reflected from the term " nammaik kai valindhu " reiterating

that sentient nexus is severed.

 

" izhandhadhu sangEa " ---thiru voi mozhi 6-6-1--> This thiru voi mozhi 'mAlukku'

highlights the things that withers off from AzhwAr automatically. The list goes

on, izhandhadhu sangEa, izhandhadhu mAmai niRamEa, izhandhadhu pEdAE,

izhandhadhu paNbEa, izhandhadhu kaRpEA,

izhandhadhu meyyEA, izhandhadhu sAyEa, izhandadhu mANBEA, thORRAdhu poRpEA,

izhandhadhu kattEA , mentioned in each pAsuram-s respectively, conforming the

fact the insentient things fall off.

 

" emmai onRum ninaithilaLEA " -thiru voi mozhi 6-7-9---> She does not consider me

as an entity is the grievance by mother -thAi.

 

Thus , the sentient and insentient go out of AzhwAr while approaching the Lord

Almighty.

 

B. Certain things are offered to devotees who would facilitate the road to thiru

nAdu.

 

" ponnulagu ALErO! bhuvani muzhudhu ALErO! " --thiru voi mozhi 6-8-1;] The

worlds and the

" neyyamar pAl adisil nichal pAlodu mEAvErO! " --thiru voi mozhi 6-8-2; ] good

things are offered

for His devotees.

C The worldly pleasures distance us from You.

" ennaip puRathittu innam keduppAyO'---thiru voi mozhi 6-9-8--------> By keeping

me here, You are distancing me from You.

" pala nE kAttip paduppAyO'----------------- thiru voi mozhi 6-9-9-------->I am

afraid of these ends. Do not distance me by showing these ends.

 

D. He is everything and everyone for AzhwAr.

 

The things that were left off were seen hereinabove. What is the state of AzhwAr

now:

 

" vuNNum sORu, parugu nEr, thiNNUm veRRilai, ellAm kaNNan " ---thiru voi mozhi

6-7-1--- He is the food and water for AzhwAr.

" dhEva pirAnaiyEa thandhai thAi enRu adaindha " --thiru voi mozhi 6-5-11---> He is

the parent of AzhwAr.

" vaitha mA nidhiyAm " --------> thiru voi mozhi 6-7-11----> He is the Treasure

Chest, Reserve Fund, Wealth for AzhwAr.

" pUvai, pain kiligaL, pandhu , thUdhai , pUm puttilgaL, yAvaiyum , thirumAl,

thiru nAmamEa kUvi ezhum " ---> thiru voi mozhi 6-7-3 wherein even playthings

spell out the divine name of the Lord, thus the Lord becoems everything and

everyone for AzhwAr.

 

 

'ellAm kaNNan.
