Paasuram-7

 

?endrAga nAlayE yAga enisiridhu

 nindrAga ninarulen pAladhE-nandrAga

 nAnunnai andri yilEnkandAi nArananE

 nee yennai yandri yilai?

 

In the previous paasuram azhvar worried about the wrong interpretations done by the Buddhist, jains and saivaites and felt sorry for them but in this paasuram he throws them out of his mind and finds solace in the thought that whatever may happen to others azhvar will always be near to emperuman as emperuman?s grace will flow towards azhvar as a great stream.

 

(endrAga nAlayE yAga enisiridhu nindrAga ninarulen pAladhE)  It may be today or tomorrow or a few days later but it is sure for emperuman?s unconditional grace to flow towards azhvar.  It may take time but it will surely happen.  What gives you such confidence? Enquired perumal,

 

(nandrAga nAnunnai andri yilEnkandAi)  It is because I have the great wealth of Akinchanyam (kaimudaellAmai), that is I have no one other than you to come to my rescue.  I have surrendered to you and will wait till you come running to save me.  Without you I cannot exist and all my good remains in you.  Only if I have faith in something else also you can show that and escape (?A-sha bhandhA vidharpAnAm A-sha yAthi hi kOsalAn? This is the path to vidharpadesam and this to kOsaladEsam showed nalan to dhamayanthi and got away from her similarly you cannot show that this is karma yoga, this is bhakthi yoga or this is jnana yoga and get away, ?nerikAtti neekudhiyO??).  But what is the proof that I alone can be the upAya (way)? Enquired perumal

 

(nArananE) What other proof do you need?  Your thirunAmam itself is the proof.  This great thirunAmam shows that you are the prapyam (upEyam, that which has to be attained) and prApagam (upAyam, the way to achieve the ultimate goal) for all the jeevatmas who fall under the category of narAs.

 

(nAnnunai andri yilEnkandAi nArananE)  ?vyasanEshu manushyAnAm prusham bhavathi dukkitha:? while any person was struck by grief the first person to feel more is Sri chakravarthi thirumagan.  So will I fall to the feet of any other god leaving this great emperuman filled with ultimate grace (krupAsindhO!)?  But when you have nothing to give me why should I come to your help?

 

(nArananE nee yennai yandri yilai) But you are my master and I am your property.  Will the master be satisfied without taking into possession his property?  Further one person can be praised for his charity only if there is some one to take.  So if you have to establish your graceful attitude on the poor jeevatmas then I will be on the first list.

 

(nArananE)  Further your name nArAyanan will hold good only if you come to my rescue else you will have to loose that name itself.

 

Aalavandaar expresses the same in his stotra ratnam,

 

?tadaham dvatdrutE na nAthavAn

   madruthE tvam dayaneeyavAn na cha I

 vidhinirmithamEdhadhanvayam

   bhagavan bhAlaya mA sma heehapa: II?

 

[So I do not have any other master other than you; Nor do you have another servant like me; This relationship occurred merely due to your unconditional grace so please don?t leave it.]

 

This paasuram can be enjoyed in one another manner also which we will see in the next posting.
