Sri
Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha Paasuram-30 “avan ennai
Ali arangaththu arangil avan ennai eidhAmal kAppAn- avan
ennadhu vullaththu nindrAn erundhAn
kidakkumE vellaththu aravaNaiyin
mEl.” If emperuman is vugappuruvan, olivuruvan and
magappuruvan as told by you in the previous paasuram Oh! Azhveer how did you see
him? Azhvar answers, “What is so difficult when emperuman himself left his
thirupArkadal and came to reside in my heart in order to uplift and save
adiyen” (arangaththu avan ennai Ali) Making everyone realize
that he is none other than Ramapiran, that very lord who took me under his
control resides in Srirangam. He
came to srirangam for the very purpose of mesmerizing me with his beauty and to
protect me. What did he do lying down in
Srirangam? (arangil
avan ennai eidhAmal kAppAn) He stays in arangam and prevents me from falling
into the stage of samsAram (life is itself a stage drama). Nammazhvar reflects the same idea in his
words, “piravi mAmAyaththu kooththu” [thiruvai 8-4-11]. An actor takes different roles in
different dramas and performs on the stage similarly the same athma takes
different bodies and enters the world of
samsAra. Till now
azhvar talked about the hardships undergone by emperuman in order to obtain
azhvar furthur azhvar talks about the results
obtained. (avan
ennadhu vullaththu nindran erundhAn) Emperuman stands and resides in different
divya desams like Srirangam and thirumalai for the sole purpose of entering into
the heart of azhvar and hence now emperuman has attained his goal. “rakshApEshAm pratheekshathE” as per the
verse emperuman waits for the acceptance of the jeevas to protect them. When he even gets a small chance
emperuman jumps to avail the opportunity and enters the hearts of the bhaktha
and stands, sits, resides and enjoys himself inside the bhaktha’s
heart. (kidakkumE
vellatharavanaiyin mEl) Why should he reside on top of the adisesha
anymore? After achieving the result
why should anyone continue to undergo all the hardships (sadhanAnushtAnams)?
Here residing on adisesha implies the existence of emperuman in pAramapadam,
ksheerApthi and all the divya desams.
After coming to the heart of azhvar all these places have been shed by
emperuman. In
thiruchandhaviruththam (65), thirumazhisai azhvar himself declares,
“nirpadhum Or verpagaththu vinkidappadhum narporul
thiruakkadalul nAnilAdha munnelAm arpudan ananthasayanan Adhibhoothan mAdhavan
nirpadhum eruppadhum kidappadhum en
nenjulE” Nammazhvar reflects the same in periya
thiruvandhAdhi-60 as, “kallum kanaikadalum vaikunda vanadium
pullendrozhindhana kol A- pAvam!-vella nediyAn nirankariyAn vul pugundhu neengAn
adiyEnadhullaththu agam” Emperuman who resides in paramapadam, ksheerAbhthi and divya desams only as a sAdhanAnushtAnam to obtain a jeevatma and after attaining the results, “panikkadalil paLLikOlai pazhagavittu
Odivandhu en manakkadalil vAzhavalla mAyamaNaLanambi” [periyAzhvar thirumozhi
5-4-9] If the jeevatma then prays to the lord, “vellaththu elankOil kaividEl” then the lord for the sake of the jeevatma to fulfill their wish stays there also. ElankOil (bAla Alayam) ksheerAbhthi and other places are only small temples, temporary places for emperuman to stay until the correction of the jeevatmas and getting them to his path. After that emperuman prefers to stay only in the big temple, the heart of the bhakthas. But if the bhakthas pray to him to stay in the small temple also he gives respect to the words and hence due to force stays there also. (To Be Continued)
