Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara MunayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha Paasuram-20 " neeyE ulagellAm ninnarulE nirpanavum neeyE tavadEvadEvanum-neeyE erisudarum mAlvaraiyum eNdisaiyum andaththu erusudaru mAya evai " Listening to azhvar's sweet words, " kAppAi nee kAppadhanai AvAi nee vaikundam eepAyum evvuyirkkum nee " the lord was highly pleased and hence wanted to hear more from the mouth of azhvar. There is a verse in Sanskrit, " kim mrishtam sruthavachanam " that highlights the sweetness and happiness in hearing the childish words of one's kid. The same is repeated in tamil as, " kuzhalinidhu yAzhinidhu enbar than makkal mazhalai sol kEtkAdhavar " . Here emperuman is very much interested in hearing to the words of azhvar, his kid and hence requests azhvar to sing one more paasuram. Azhwar with great pleasure starts to sing this paasuram highlighting the sarvAthma bhAva of the supreme lord. (neeyE ulagellAm) " vishvam nArAyanam harim " declares the nArAyanuvAham. Accordingly azhvar says the whole world is none other than emperuman, Sriman nArAyanan (ulagellAm neeye). " sarvam samApnOshi thathOsmi sarva: " [being spread everywhere you are everything] declares the bhagavat geetha. " thatsthatvAthanupasyanthi heyEka yevEdhi sAdhava: " [since you are filled inside the jeeva sadhus consider both as one] declares the mahabharatha and " avasthithErithi kAsakrisna: " says the brahma sutra. Since there is no stage when any object in this world is ever away from emperuman (pruthakstithi) hence it is nothing wrong to call him as the world. We say a " lean man " " black pot " etc here lean or black is only a characteristic of the man or pot still it cannot be separated from the man or the pot. Similarly the world and emperuman are inseparable so it is nothing wrong saying 'neeyE ulagellAm' (ninnarulE nirpanavum) Only due to your grace one attains the moksha that is permanent. The happiness attained in the moksha loka is countless and hence azhvar says 'nirpanavum' (in plural) (neeyE tavadEvadEvanum) You are the lord of even those who have attained the post of devas due to the great tapas they did. PramAnams " tam dEvathAnAm paramAnja deivatham " (sve.) " yuga kOti sahasrANi vishnumArAthya padmabhoo: I punas trilOkya tAdrithvam prApthavAnidhi sushruma II " [brahma attained this position of creating the worlds after doing penance for thousand crores of yugas] (bhar-sabha 14-8) " brahmAdhayas surAs sarvE vishnumArAthya thE purA I svam svam padhanuprApthA: kEshavasya prasAdhatha: II " [brahma and all the devas did penance towards Vishnu and attained their positions due to the divine grace of keshavan] (nArasimhapuranam) " mahAdevas sarvamEthE mahAthmA huthvAthmAnam devadEvO bhabhoova " [bhAratham] [by sacrificing himself in the sarvamEdha yagna mahAdevan became devadevan] (neeyE erisudarum mAl varaiyum..) Should it be said separately you are Fire, the big mountains, all the 8 directions the sun the moon and everything in this world. All these are under your control. The Vishnu purana declares the same as, " jyOtheemshi vishnur bhuvanAni vishNur vanAni vishnur kirayO disascha " (To be continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam Adiyen ramanuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
