azhaippu” Since whatever is happening depends on the sankalpa (thought) of
emperuman, he is considered to be the Adhi (supreme). It is said in the sastras that brahma is
the creator and siva the destroyer.
Then can’t they also be considered as par with emperuman? “If he is not
inside them as antharyAmi, then they will loose their power and become useless”,
says azhvar. (agaippil manisarai) How much ever we advise the jeevas, people like
you never try to understand anything and strive to be foolish; “agaippu”-
ascend; improvement of knowledge.
(agaippil manisarai) those jeevas who lack intelligence. (Lack of
intelligence in a greater level) (Aru samayam pugaiththAn) He made them involved in the six different
philosophies viz.,sAkkiyar (bhoththa), ulookiyar (naiyAyika), akshapAdar
(vAishEshika), kshapanar (jaina), kapilar (sAnkiyam), padanjali (yOgam) [instead
of naiyAyikas and yoga- sArvAga and pAsupadha philosophies are sometimes
included in the six types of philosophies) (pugaiththan) hunters, in order to get the wild animals outside their
bushes burn some dry leaves and with the help of the smoke hunt the innocent
animals. Similarly emperuman using
the same trick used the six different philosophies to capture the poor jeevatmas
into the nest of samsara. (agaippil ….pugaiththAn) amidst the smoke it is very difficult to get
a clear vision. Even if someone
instructs us the way, still the travel is difficult similarly though azhvar
advices the jeevatmas many times still it is very difficult to come out of the
illusion of devathANtara paratvam and understand the sole supremacy of
emperuman. (porukadal neervaNNan-vugaikkumEl) That supreme lord, who gives
pleasure to the eyes of all those who enjoy his darshan. Like the ocean that fulfills the wishes
of all, emperuman grants all our wishes.
There is no chance for him to ignore us. If incase water becomes fire and he ignores us? (eththEvar vAlAttum ozhiyum) The ego and pride of all the devas who
behave like monkeys will all vanish. (vAlAttum) the shaking of the dog’s tail indicates the dogs
gratefulness towards us. Hence here
vAlAttum also indicates gratitude (abhimAnam) the devas remain with the thought
that they are the supreme (IshvarOham) (evvAru azhaippu seikaiyum ozhiyum) People in this world do all sorts
of yagnas to please the devas and call them with vedic verses, “indram
AvAgayAmi; varunam AvAgayAmi” All these will come to an end. The calling will stop; the yagnas will
stop when emperuman ignores them.
Only under the willingness of emperuman can all these devas who consider
themselves to be gods and all those who call them through yagnas and give
avirbhAvas will remain. The instant
he neglects them irrespective of the devas or jeevas everything will come to an
end even before the pralaya kAlam. (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
