Continuing the fourth pAsuram of the
thiruneudunthANTakam, let us go into the anlaytical angle of Sri PeriyavAchAn
piLLai.
DEvaRkum
-ààààààààààà
Kaliyan mentions that even the DEvA clan
cannot realise EmperumAn.
Sri PeriyavAchAn piLLai questions why
should AzvAr mention the special term
Even DEVAs i.e ààààààààààà
This is because of their exalted status of
holding higher knowledge and power
vishesha gnAna
sakthigaL
The point here is -even those wielding
higher knowledge and power cannot relaise Him. It is not just mankind like
us
but even the souls possessing better
powers cannot understand Him.
That is why this term 'DEvaRkum' 'ààààààààààà'
ààààààà
Generally, the term 'andhanan' refers to a
Brahamin.
Here, Sri PeriyvavAchAn piLLai gives the
meaning as 'THE PURE ONE'
'ààààààà'
Why not Brahmin? He himself
qeustions/
This pasuram talks Empeurman as indweller
of the five elements, the languages, directions and prime mover of the deities
and souls.
Being so, does the defects of these touch
the Almighty.'NO' is the categorical response. Despite bieng indweller of the
souls and inanimate objects, the defects do not touch Him and He is
pure.
Therefore, the 'puritan' meaning is
attirbuted to the term 'andhanan'. Further, svami Nam AzvAr has also used this
term as
'Azip padai andhanan' 'ààààà ààà ààààààà' . The andhanan
adorning sanku and sakkaram.
We dont see any brahmins adorning
these.
Thus, we see PeriyavAchAn piLLai's
anlaysis and probing quesitons incisively give out not only the meanings but
also splending viewpoints.
