Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 THE BUBBLING CONFIDENCE LEVEL from the third pAsuram - vOngi ulagaLandha uthaman pEAr pADi-nAlAyirappaDi. sri bhattar: "...oruvarkku anjAdhEA yamADhigaLukku muzhangaik kAtti serukkarAi thirigaikku aDiy en? "aRindhOam. oru parama-dhArmIgan seviyilEA, 'dhurbalarAna nammAl nam kAriyam seiyya nirvahithuk koNdu kaRaiyEaRa voNNAdhu.. oru prabalanai aNdai koNdu dhrishtAdhrishta vishayamAna vunnudaiya yathnangaLadaiya avan vasathilEa pogattu nirpayanAi iru" enRu sollippOam; ivanum athaiyEa visvasithu 'appadiyEa' enRirukkum; emprumAn, kazhuthil Olai kattith dhUthu pOyum, mArbilEa ambERRum, pagalai iravAkkiyum, sathyap prathigjanAyum, ..poi/mei solliyum, .....ivargaL kAriyamEa nirvahiyA niRkum" How is it that srEvaishNavites are bubbling with confidence and do not fear yAmAdhigaL and confront them with composure? sri bhattar: They follow their AchAryAs words. That is " We are incapable and unqualified to take care of ourselves. Hence, we should take refuge in the Lord, who will take care of these." Accordingly, they also take refuge in Him. emperumAn for their sake, goes as an emissary, receives arrows on His chest, makes day into night, tells lies and truths and so on and so forth and always looks after their welfare. Hence, it is not surprising that they exude bubbling confidence while confronting yamAdhigaL. That is being 'uthaman'the Lord goes out of the way and performs all deeds for their sake.
