Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Questioning the Supreme Potence of the Lord. In the previous pAsuram sri kaliyan questioned the credentials of the Almighty. In this pAsuram he casts aspersions on the supreme powers of the Lord. Sri PBA kanchi swAmy aptly summarises this as: "kEzh pAttil em-perumAnudiaya sarvagjanthiRku kuRai kURinAr; ippATTil avanudaiya sarva-sakthithvathiRku kuRai kURuginRAr" What is that ? The primary quality of the relationship between the Supreme and the Soul is subservience of the soul manifesting as a service to the Lord. This service or kainkaryam is not done voluntarily by the jEvAthmA -that is, there is no swAthanthriyam for the jEvAthmA to select the kainkaryam- rather the kainkaryam is commanded by the Almighty\. "paNi koLLa VEANum;yEAvip paNi koLLA vEANum was the lookout of sri iLaya-perumAL always. This commanding the jEvAthma by the paraman is an invisible or rather visible evidence of His powers. this is what is questioned by sri thirumangai mannan. His arguments are "I have come to thiru-indhaLUr to your doorsteps.You are the Supreme Lord capable and having full right and powers and command at your fingers. I am the jEVAthmA waiting for the service command from You. Despite all this You have lost this opportunity. Does it not throw a blemish on your powers and potent and cast aspersions of Your masterly position?" "mATTer AnEr paNi nEr koLLa emmai paNi aRiyA vETTEr.." 4-9-7; That is thirumangai AzhwAr for you mATTer AnEr paNi nEr koLLA vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
