Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 viTTup paTruvadhEA upAyam The elventh pAsuram of thiruppAvai mentions of a maiden from a home where svadgarmam is followed meticulosuly. The twelfth pAsuram talks of maiden from a home where the person is always with Sri krshNA neglecting his svadhramam. Now, which is correct? The following of svadhrmam or neglecting? This is anlaysed by the commentator. Just going on giving meanings is a dictionary or thesarus. Analysing, coherently, corroborating and explaining with evidence is the hallmark of a good commentator. SvAmi Azhagiya MaNavALap perumAL nAyanAr doe exactly this Following ones duties -svadharamam- is not the means to attain Him. Neglecting ones duties is also not the means Neglecting and take refuge in Him is the appropriate one. vidach chonnavaiyum paTRach sonnavaiyum anRiREA upAyamviTTup paTrugaiyEA upAyam Following the rituals/duties as per ones svadharmam is not the means. Leaving/neglecting them is also not the means. Taking HIm as the ultimate refuge exclusively is the right one. This is avathArikai for 'kaNaithiLam kaTrerumai' and The vyAkyAna karthA' words will prove beyond doubt he is indeed a genius. dasan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
