Emperuman doesn't do just one favour
but he continues to bless his devotees with all sorts of help all the time
when in this world, followed by happiness in svarga loka and finally in the
ever flourishing vaikundha. Even after doing so much he is
not satisfied says thirumazhisaipiran in this paasuram.
(vEndharAi) The kings in this world
under whose kingdom the poor are not suppressed by the overpowered "na Vishnu:
prithiveepathi:" (those kings are not different from Vishnu)
(viNNavarAi) Even if the king is
capable of ruling the country properly the natural phenomenons like rain and
proper seasons should aid for the development of the country.
The devas are responsible for the natural occurrence. "sarva ijyAscha
Krishna: [All devas are Krishna]
(vinnAgi) The svarga loka where we
enjoy the fruits of our good deeds (yaga, yagyas etc)
(taNNaLiyAi) The devas provide the
jeeva visiting svarga with ultimate pleasures all according to the wish of the
supreme lord;
(mAndharAi) All our friends and
relatives around us is none other than emperuman; "suhruth gadhir narayana:"
(subhalopanishad)
(mAdhAi) our mother (this implies to
father also);
"mAthA pithA narayana:"
[subhalo]
mAdhu otherwise means
beauty. So whatever beauty we enjoy is lord's divine
beauty.
(maRRellAmAi) "brAthA nivAsa:
saraNam" Everything left over. All relatives, upaya,
prApya everything is him.
(sArindhavarkku) He becomes
everything for those who have got hold of his divine feet
(thanARRAn) Inspite of all these
emperuman still feels indebted to the devotee for the act of surrendering;
"govindhEthi yathA krAndhath
krishnAmAm dooravAsinam I ruNam pravriththamiva….
Inspite of doing so many favours to
the pandavas, going to the level of becoming their servant (messenger),
charioteer (Parthasarathi) and accomplishing them the victory still Krishna
feels that he hasn't done satisfactorily in return to droupathi calling him
endangered in the court of the gauravas.
(nEmiyAn) He holds the divine discus
in his hand to kill the enemies of his devotees and make the devotees enjoy
his divine darshan.
(mAl vaNNan than kodukkum) Being an
embodiment of love and affection, inspite of all these emperuman still keeps
pouring his grace on all his devotees
(pinnAl thAn seiyyum pidir) First he
grants all wealth and happiness in this world then he makes them enjoy in
svarga and finally he takes them to the ultimate bliss.
Pidir-in excess; left over
Emperuman enjoys pleasure in the
company of the jeevatma and the jeevatma cherishes the joy experienced by the
lord
One doubt that may arise is why
should emperuman grant pleasures in this world and svarga leaving the ultimate
purushartham. Since the lord is common to one and all he
grants the joy according to each one's taste. Didn't
ramapiran grant jadayu (a bird) who sacrificed his life for the sake of
piratti, happiness in all lokas and finally paramapadam?
