Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Questioning the Credentials of Supreme Knowledge of The Almighty "ellAm ARivEr. EdhEA ARiyEAr!" Continuing the discussion with the parimaLa rangan, sri kaliyan, now starts questioning the very credentials of the knowledge of the Almighty. One of the fundamental attribute of the Almighy is "Complete knowledge"-sarvagjathvam. Oh ! Lord You know good AtmAs. Those who cannot survive without your presence. You not otherwise also-those who can sustain without your company. Thus You know everything. This is where typical thirumangai mannan' s poetic prowess comes into play. AzhwAr does not just say, You know everything, therefore You take care of me. On the contrary he mentions, You know everything oh! Lord, But not about the plight of your kaliyan. You know everything except about kaliyan. "nallAr ARivEr, thEyAr aRivEr, namakk ivvulagaithil, ellAm aRivEr EDhEA aRiyEr, indhaLurErEA" 4-9-6; the very purpose of adorning indhaLur is lost is indicated from the invocation -indhaLUrErEa. ellAm aRivEr, EDhEA aRiyEr,indhaLUrErEA" vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
