Dear Sriman Padmanabhan, Nice to see the posting. From the words of Azhwars, it is clear that jIva does not have any swAtantryam and kartrtvam as u have quoted the vyAkhyAnam, and evry happening is due to Him. Thus, it is the Lord Who really cut the nose and ears of SUrpaNakhA thru lakshmaNa. Similarly it is the Lord Who burnt the lankA, say AzwhArs - I do not know the exact pASuram. > The vyAkyAnam clarifies the position > :"iLaya-peurmAL karaNabhUdhar AgaiyALEa, karthrthvam perumALadhAgach sollugiRadhu". same thing is said by KrshNa while pleading with arjuna to fight "nimitta mAtram bhava savyasAchin!" dasan Vishnu --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Padmanabhan <aazhwar@xxxx> wrote: > sUrpanaKAvai seviyodu mUkku > > sUrpa-nakA who desired the Lord but ignored pirAtti had to pay the price of losing her nose. Who cut her nose to size? It is iLaya- perumAL. However, sri periyAzhwAr and AndAL have mentioned that sri rAmA had done this act. sri thiru-mangai-mannan also has this opinion. > > sri periyAzhwAr had mentioned in > "...sUrpanakAvai seviyOdu mUkku, anRu Arka arindhAnaip pAdip paRA..." periyAzhwAr thiru-mozhi 3-9-8; > > Here it is mentioned that sri rAmA had cut her to size. > The vyAkyAnam clarifies the position > :"iLaya-peurmAL karaNabhUdhar AgaiyALEa, karthrthvam perumALadhAgach sollugiRadhu". > This act is attributed to Lord sri rAmA as iLaya-perumAL has done this as an extended arm of the Lord. > sri periyAzhwAr has further considered this in "mUkku pOkkuvithAn" in 4-2-2; and in"thangaiyai mUkkum thamaiyanaith thalaiyum thadindha, em dAsarathE pOi" 4-7-1; > > sri AndAL mentions this as an act of sri rAmA in " kollai arakkiyai mUkkarindhitta kumaranAr" nAchiyAr thiru-mozhi 10-1; > > thirumangai-AzhwAr has mentioned this as of sri rAmA's act in periya-thiru-mozhi 3-9-4 > "kAdhodu mUkkudan ariyak kadhaRi avaLOdi" > > It is observed that the deed of sri LakshmaNa is being deemed by AzhwAr's as done by sri chakravarthith thiru-magan. > vanamamalai padmanabhan > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
