Paasuram-62

 

"thirunindRa pakkam thiRavidhendru OrAr

In the previous paasuram, azhvar rejoiced thinking about his fortune/greatness. 
 Immediately the state of the others around him troubled azhvar.  These people 
consider souls/devas similar to them born from the womb of a mother to be 
paradeivam (supreme) and undergo number of hardships.  How can azhvar being an 
Srivaishnava tolerate the sorrow of the fellow beings?

 

(thirunindRa pakkam thiruvidhu) The most blessed object in which piratti 
resides is the paratattvam.  "sraddhayA dEvO dEvatvamasnutE" (only due to 
piratti indicated by the word "sraddhA" perumal attains the quality of a deva) 
"apAngO bhooyAmsO yadhupari param brahma tatabhoot"  The nature of the object 
doesn't matter but wherever the divine grace of piratti falls in full becomes 
the sarvEswaran.  Sri Parasara bhattar reiterates the same in his 
GunaratnakOsam,

"vEthAnthAs tattvachinthAm murapiturasi yat pAdhachinhais taranti" (4)

 

(thiRavidhendru) All objects other than self is under her control.  Hence 
unless she shows herself it is difficult to visualize by others.  Appillai 
says, 'It is not understandable by superfluous words or tactics.'

 

(OrAr) If they are intelligent they can realize this tattva but there is no 
sign of any intellect in them.

 

(karunindRa) Similar to them devas like Indra take birth from a womb ("vushasi 
rOdha asinjat" declare the Vedas)

 

(karunindRa kallArkku vuraippar)  These people preach to stupid people, 
ignorant of Vedas just like them, about the supremacy of the devas.

 

What are they really trying to do? Azhvar explains;

 

(thiruvirundha mArvan siridharan)  In practice, an insect that doesn't even 
know the smell of a mango (mAmbhazham) is named as 'mAmbhazhavunni".  Similarly 
the devas who do not have any sort of relationship with piratti (the divine 
consort) are called as "sriman" by their bhakthas.  Whereas in the case of 
perumal, piratti resides always in his chest "agalagillEn eraiyum" and hence he 
is called as "sireedharan".  The Vishnu sahasranAmam reiterates the same with 
12 divine names,

Srivatsa: SrivAsa: Sripathi: SrimadhAm vara: Srita: Srisa: Srinivasa: Srinidhi: 
SrivibhAvana: Sridhara: Srikara: srEya: SrimAn

 

(Siridharan tan vaNdulavu taNtuzAi tArtannai soodi tariththu) Adorning the 
cool, honey filled garland of lakshminAdan "soodikkaLaindhana soodum 
eththondarkalOm "[thirupallandu-9] and attaining well being due to that; 
'thirunindRa pakkam thiravidhendru OrAr"
