The knowledgeable jeevans living everywhere eulogize (stuti) the Lord in so

many ways. Although an ignorant human being may not know any such way of

extolling the Lord, if he says 'arangam' atleast once, all his sins will be

burnt to ashes and there will be no need for hell (or karmabhoomi, which is

the real hell for gnAnis)

 

 

 

(eRiyuneer . viNNavar kOnaiyEththa) : All chetanAs (beings) are entitled to

go to paramapadam; to praise the Lord there; and to enjoy the divine

fragrance of vaikunTanAthan's tulasi garland. 'uyirgal ellAm' means all the

beings in all lOkams (14 lOkams or tripAdvibhuti as it is called), as they

are nothing but the amSabhUtars of SrIkoustubham of PerumAL, Who likes them

very much says SrI PVP.

 

 

 

(aRivilA . azhaipparAgil) : It is very easy for people to express rough and

useless words. But it is very extraordinary that they say the word

'arangam'. If they say 'arangam' atleast once, then the Lord will look at

them (kaTAksham) and gradually they will be released from samsAra cycle. PVP

says 'there is no need for devout disposition towards tiruvarangam, just

telling the word is enough'.

 

 

 

(poRiyilvAzh naraka mellAm) : Azhwar considers even bhUlOkam as narakam as

the jeevans are living under the clutches of indriyams. 'poRi' is machine,

and here the whole leelavibhuti is called by that name as it brings all

jeevans into its fold. If all erudite and ignorant people start chanting the

word 'arangam', then there will be only plantations in leelavibhUti. Our

ancestors explain this as the concern of Azhwar that people are not even

chanting the word 'arangam', whereas the body has been blessed only for His

kaimkaryams.

 

 

 

(pullezhunthu ozhiyum) : If that were to happen, then His leeavibhuti will

turn into waste land.

 

 

 

sAram of the pAsuram : Jeevans blessed with human form have10 indriyams and

manas for praising the Lord and they are all eligible to enjoy the parumaLam

of the Lord's tulasi mAlai. Whether erudite or unacquainted, if a person

says 'arangam' atleast once, gradually the necessity for hell or earth will

become nil.
