In the earlier postings it was seen that swAmi nam-piLLai
explains the import of adjectives as meant by AzhwAr and conveys the meanings
through real life examples. swAmi nam-piLLai further elucidates the meanings
through real-life events which happened during the lifetime of our AchAryAs.
This is being explained by Sri TCA venkatesan in the "A day iin the life our
AChAryAs". This help us not only have a peep into the past but also understand
the real meaning of the pAsuram through these illustration.
one pAsuram in fourth ten for instance.
" maNi mAmai kuRaivillA malar mAdhar vurai
mARban,
aNi mANath thadavaraith thOL adal Azhith thadak
kaiyan,
paNI mANanam pizhaiAmEa adiyEanai paNi
koNda,
maNI mAyan kavarAdha mada nenjAl kuRaivilamE"
4-8-2
When explaining the the lines "paNi mAnam pizhaiAme
pizhaiyAmE adiyEanai paNi koNda"
Edu : paNi-kainkaryam-service; mAnam-aLavu-measure; adhil
OraLavum kuRaiyAme;
AzhwAr conveys to the Lord that the service to the LOrd was
fulfilled without any shortage in size.
This is being explained with an event . Once when
srEvaishNavites were being served food, sri AchAn was providing water and while
doing so he was doing it slightly bending himself. On seeing this udaiyavar ran
towards him and straightened him and said " nErEa anRoAvudOa parimARuvadhu" The
serving should be done with an upright stance. For this AchAn was very pleased
as his service level became full from a blemished one. Hence, he responded "
paNi mAnam pizhaiyAmE adiyEanai paNi
koNda"
Even while doing service AzhwAr prescribes that the service
should be in full measure and our AchAryAs were meticulously following this.
This is being explained with an event. Edu is replete with such
narrations.
