Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Good Bad and Bad Good Is there a good in bad and bad in good. Yes. As per AzhwAr;s pAsuram-s there are bad apples in good lot and good apple in bad lot. An instance; Sri vibhEshanAzhwAn and Sri PrahlAdhan are born in the demon clan. However, they are pious souls. that is good frombad. This is what Sri ANDAL mentions pollA arakkan ( ThiruppAvai 13) as the aformentioned two are good souls. The same analogy is drawn in vEdhic treatise. Generally, the vEdham-s and upanishads are good lot. However, the treatises dealing with other deities pure rituals and sacrifieces are not indeed pure and good. they are bad out of good lot. This is what comes up when Sri ANDAL mentions 'vAi nallAr nalla maRAi ODhi manthirathAl' nAchiyAr Thriumzohi 6-7; Sir Nam AzhwAr in his magnum opus ThiruvAimzohi 'nal vEdathu oli' 7-3-4; Here, in the Thirumozhi dedicated for ThirunAgai Sri Thirumangai mannan 'ivaL vAyil nal vEdham vOAdhum vEAdhiyar'9-2-1; Para-kAla nAyaki identifies the Sparkling entity as the one who has recited the good vEdhic works. The VyakyAnam mentions categorically 'purusha sUkthAdhigaLaip pOlEa '.The Vedhci portion exclusively dedciated to EmperumAn. Apparently even the vedhic works do have unwanted portions unlike aruLich cheyal where it is EmeprumAn all the way. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
