now is triumphed to be a special being. ?enakkAvAr AroruvarE

vundO vilai? (enakkAvAr AroruvarE) Oh Lord! Is there any being in the
two worlds (ubhaya vibhoothi) equal to me? I have been blessed to have you as my
saviour! Emperuman asked, ?Oh! Azhveer I am
the one who is declared by the Vedas and the vedantha to be peerless, no one
greater than me or equal to me. But now you say that you have no one to match
you. How is
that? (emperumAn tanakkAvAn thane maRRallAl) Oh lord you are
sarvEshvaran. No one can match you
in protecting one and all; similarly no one can match me in the category of the
protected souls. You are the master
of all but you lack a master for yourself.
But adiyen is blessed with a great master so even you cannot match
me. ?But what about the others who have
accepted me as their protector and surrendered to me?? asked the
lord (punakkAyA vaNNanE vunnai pirar aRiyAr) Oh my beloved
lord! I have not only surrendered to you due to your power to protect me. Irrespective of you protecting me or not
I will still fall to your feet.
Since I have attained this state due to your divine beauty that has
permanently mesmerized me to be under you.
Your soft, tender, warm, fragrant nature like a freshly blossomed flower
puts me under your feet. Who other
than me can really understand your pleasant nature? Will those who consider this body itself
to be the athma realize? Will those who consider themselves to be independent
and believe in their own efforts realize?
Will those who believe in the power of the anya devathas and go at the
back of them for cheap results realize? Or will the rishis who always meditate
on your svaroopa realize? But what about those in the nithya
mandalam, anantha, garuda, vishvaksena and other nithya sooris won?t they match
you? (en madhikku viNNellAm vundO vilai) There are many who strive to attain the
ultimate goal by the own efforts but I have been blessed with the true knowledge
by the divine lord and hence surrendered to the divine feet of emperuman to
attain my goal. ?nAganai misai
nampiran charaNE sharanendru nAl thOrum EkasindhayanAgi? Is my brain not
precious? Talking about those in paramapadam they have already
achieved the ultimate goal where is the question of them having the staunch
belief in emperuman as the upayam (upAya adhyavasAyam)? They don?t need an upaya since they have
already got what has to be achieved.
Even if they realize the supremacy and svaroopa of emperuman still they
cannot match me since they live in the world free of miseries it is me who
amidst all the innumerable hurdles that prevent my bhagavat sindhanai
(meditation) still have ultimate faith in you and am involved in your daily
services. How can they match me?
?seedhanaiyE thozhuvAr viNNulArilum seeriyarE?
(thiruviruththam-79) (enakkAvAr AroruvarE) Due to all the
above reasons no one can really match my intellect says azhvar. Though this seems to be a show off or
words arising out of pride still since it is due to the bhagavat sambhandam it
is nothing to be refrained off but warranted as necessity by our
poorvacharyas. (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
