Misdeeds , Not Birth -
The Criterion
The Lord punishes those who commit
mistakes. A supreficial observation that the Almighty decimates the asura Clan
will point to the fact that He targets the clan, as they are
'asurAs',
However, if one looks into this deeply, we
may observe that, in fact it is by their sins that they are punished and
not because of their birth.
That is what Sri PeriyAzvAr mentions when
he uses the prefix pizhakkudaiya
-asurargaL
The sinning asurAs. Those demons who have
committed sins. They are singled out and treated with
disdain.
SVAmi MAmunikaL explains this clarly.
' ithAl- asura yOnigaLiL
piRandhavargaL ellAraiyum nirasikka vEANum ennum nirhandham illai
iREA;
avargaL pizhaigaLai
kaNakkittEA nirasikkum ennumidam thOTrugiRadhu'
By this, just because of
their births, the asurAs are not killed but going by their account of sings,
they are being slain.
Not because of their Birth but due to
their follies.
'pizhakkudaiya asurargaLai
piNam padutha perumAn' 4-8-7 of PeriyAzvAr Thirumozhi.
