Pride and
Prejudice?
sAthvEka
ahankAram
The fourteenth pAsuram of ThriupAvai
commences with the words 'vuNgaL
puzhakkadai'.
SvAmi NamAzvAr in the second thriuvAimohzi
categorically proscribes the sense of egoism and egotism -nEr numadhu enRivai.
This being so, is it correct on the part
of kOdhai nAchiyAr to use the words symbolic of ahankAram
'vungaL'?
The commenator Sri
Azhagai MaNavALap perumAL nAyanAr in ARAyirappadi anlayses this aspect
-true to the hallmark of a
great commentator.

'vungaL-engaL' engai virutham anROA? ennil; Having realised that the 'Pride' is
detrimental, can they talk 'vungaL' and 'engaL'? Is it not contradictory?
The pride springing out of bodily/physical
conteniton is untenable.

However, the pride blossoming out of
EmperumAn's connection is welcome.
: bhagavath sambandhathAlEA varum ahankAram vuthEsayam ; Where can this be seen? Is there a
precedent?
