The Sixth Ten
Lord's Divine Feet is the means for one and
all.
"ennaiyum, yAvarkum surarkAi adiyEr
vAzhmin enRu karuNaiyAlEa sarva lOga bhUdhEbya: enRavai kadalOsaiyum kazhuthukku
mElumAgAmAl upAyathvam kalvettAkkugiRa charaNyan..."
Summary: When the Lord did not show Himself
in person to AzhwAr, emissaries were sent " inform Him, that here is a woman
left out by Him".
The refuge is the feet of Lord in "thiru viNNagaram". There is no other refuge.
The refuge for the dhEvA-clans in their world is
also HIm.
Those who surrender unto His feet, without
expecting anything in return but Him, are out of His Grace blessed by
Him..
It is highlighted He is the refuge for one and
all.
He is the refuge for nithya-sUrigaL, for
souls like us in this world and for animals. Even for those who expect something
other than Him, He is refuge.
Thus, He is the refuge for one and all, for all
purposes. He is in "the thiru-malA" -Lord
thiru-vEnkatamudaiyAn -- The means for one and all.
pAsuram-s: The Lord did not show
Himself in person immediately to AzhwAr. The need for sending mesengers arose.
Various types of messengers including birds were sent to the Lord and to
say
" Here is also a person who is to be rescued by
You?".
"yEaru sevaganArku ennaiyum vuLaL enmingaLEA"
6-1-11
the Lord of thiru-viNNagar is the
refuge for all
"thiru-viNNagar
sEarndha pirAn varamkoL pAdham allAl illai,yAvarkkum
vaN charaNEA" 6-3-7 thiru voi mozhi;
He rescues the dhEva clans by vanqusihing the
demons
"vaN charaN surarkkAi
asurarku venkURRamum Ai" thiru voi mozhi
6-3-8; The Lord showers His Grace to those who surrender
totally at His divine feet. They are blessed by Him.
"adikkEzh amarndhu pugundhu
adiyEr vAzhmin enRu aruL kodukkum" thiru voi
mozhi 6-10-11;
Is He refuge only for those in this
worlds?
Even for the dhEvAs in their world He is the
refuge
"vAnavar kOnodum namanRezhum
thiru vEnkatam' thiru voi mozhi 3-3-7;
Is He refuge only for those who surrender to Him
completely.
No. He is approached even by those who expect
other things from HIm
"ezhuvAr, vidai koLvAr, En
thuzhAzhAn adiyEA vazhuvAi vagai ninaindhu vaigal thozhuvAr" mudhal
thiruvandhAdhi 26.
Is He not refuge for animal
class.
Yes! of course
"pOdharindhu
vAnarangal" iraNdAm thiruvandhAdhi 72 and " kaNdu
vaNangum kaLiur" mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 70 go to confirm this
point.
Thus Lord thiru-vEnkatamudaiyAn is the refuge for
one and all; for all purposes.
This is indelibly exhibited conspicuously in
thiruvEnkatam--> kal vettAkkugiRa charaNyan.
