pathi? In this paasuram, thirumazhisai piran elaborates the prApya vaibhavam (greatness of ultimate goal). The greatness and the immense happiness attained by understanding the essence or the meaning conveyed by the charma sloka cannot be understood even by the brahmarudras. Otherwise, this paasuram can also be considered to give the charma sloka vaibhavam (greatness of the charama sloka) The meaning conveyed by the charma sloka is not only not understood by the ignorant souls, but is unreachable by even the so called maha jnanis brahma or rudra. Sri parasara bhattar immersed in the divine arthas of these two paasurams
lucubrates them, quotes periyavachan pillai in his commentary. (ArE arivAr anaithulagum vuNdumizhindha pErAzhiyAn tan perumaiyai) Who
will understand the greatness of that supreme lord who placed all the worlds
inside his stomach during the time of cosmic destruction, saved everything from
any damage and delivered them out during the time of
creation? ?apramEyO mahOdhadhi:? ?that supreme lord with remarkable divine
qualities (pEr AzhiyAn) compared to the big ocean. Here according to appillai another commentator to this divine work, pEr
azhiyan refers to the lord Krishna who holds the divine sudarsana chakra in his
hand as a weapon to protect his devotees, In tamil, Azhi means both ocean/sea and
chakra/discus Won?t the four-faced brahma and three-eyed rudra understand the greatness
of the supreme lord and his divine abode? (kAr seRindha kaNdaththAN) Rudra esteems himself to be the all-powerful
one who swallowed the deadly poison (AlakAla visham) and protected all the
devas. (eN kaNNAn) Brahma is filled with pride since he possesses 8 eyes and
hence being able to visualize things simultaneously in all 8 directions and act
accordingly. Inspite of all their powers both brahma and rudra are incapable to
visualize the almighty. The divine
abode of emperuman is unreachable. (avan vaiththa pandaith thAnaththin pathi) Emperuman has made this
ancient abode due to his permanent wish forever that cannot be visualized by
anyone. Many pramanas from vishnupurana and bharata substantiate the above. Thus the prapya vaibhava is elaborated
in this paasura. Otherwise, Who will know the greatness of that ocean of valour, the almighty who
swallowed the worlds during pralaya, saved them inside his stomach and then
created the exact replica during creation?
He is the unconditional means.
Did he swallow the world due to anyone?s request or with anyone?s
support? Did he bless the jeevas with a body due to anyone?s prayers or does he
hold the divine chakra to protect anyone in danger due to any reason other than
his wish? Though filled with knowledge even the brahma rudras or incapable to
understood the divine essence of the charama sloka preserved as a secret by
emperuman. Charama sloka declares
emperuman to be the ONLY ABSOLUTE UPAYA (means to attain the ultimate goal, the
moksha, the divine abode of the almighty) (To
