AchArya Hrdhayam
sUthram 227-7
The ninth Ten
None other than Lord krishNA - Our
Saviour
"kaNNan allAl illai kaNdEr
charaN"
"im mada vulagar kaNdadhOdu
patta abAndhava, arakshaga, ayOgya, asuga, anupAya, pradhi sambhandhiyAik
kAtti.."
AzhwAr now turns his attention towards those who still
have not been reformed by his earlier counselling and are still in the midst of
life cycles. He advises them the fraility, inability, undependability,
opportunistic nature of the so called friends and relatives in the thiru voi
mozhi "koNda peNdir" 9-1. Those people who are
supposed to give happiness will vanish when distress stirkes. The friends and
relatives will not lend a helping hand when problem springs up. They are also
incapable of doing so. When there is money they will swarm us, when there
is darkness they will desert us. They will sap us.
Then who should we depend on, if these friends and
relatives are not so? Approach Lord krishNA. He is the saviour. He is the
trouble shooter of all times. He is the dependable one. He is the one who has
installed Himself for troubled times. He is the ultimate. He is our
happiness.
He is thus the one to be reached. He is the means, He
is the saviour, He is the happiness is the counselling extended by
AzhwAr.
pAsuram-s
The inadequacy, the incapability, the undependablity
and futility of so called friends and relatives are all summarised in the thiru
voi mozhi "koNda peNdir" 9-1;
"koNda peNdir, makkaL vuRRAr,
suRRathavar piRarum,
kaNdadhOdu pattadhu allAl kadhal maRRu
Adhum illai.." 9-1-1
The wife, friends, children others do not extend real
love and affection. Their love and affecton are not true.
"thuNaiyum ,sArvum AguvAr pOle
suRRathavar piRarum,aNaiya vandha
Akkam vuNdEAl, attaigaL pOle
suvaippar..." 9-1-2
Those who claim to be ones life partner and others
actually sap off us like leeches.
"poruL kai vuNdAi seiyyak kANil
pORRi enREthu ezhuvar
iruL koL thunbathinmai kANIl ennEA
enbArum illai" 9-3-3;
When they see us with money and wealth they indulge in
flattery;
When darkness surrounds, there nobody to even throw
compassionate words.
"sadhiram enRu thammaith thAnEa
sammadhithu in mozhiyAr,
madhuram bhOgam thuRRavarEA, vaigi
maRRonRu vuruvar.."9-3-5;
Those women who had appreciated and entertained men,
subseqently insult them.
Then who is the ultimate who helps
us; Who is our saviour; who is our refuge?
"..eNdhisaiyim, kEzhum mEalum
muRRavum, vuNda pirAn.." 9-1-1;
The Lord who consumed and safeguarded one and all
during the praLayam is our refuge.
"..vada madhurai piRandhARku ,
aruLkoL ALAi vuyyal allAl,illai kaNdEr
araNEA."9-1-3;
The Lord who descendedinto mathurA is the one who is
our shield agaist all problems.
'vada madhurai piRandhavan vaN
pugazhEa charaN enRu vuyyap pOgil allAl,
illai kaNdER sadhirEA"
9-1-4
He is the ultimate to surrender oneself
to;
"illai kaNdEr inbamEa"
9-1-5
He is the ultimate happiness.
'kaNNan allAl illai kaNdEr charaN
adhu niRka vandhu.." 9-1-10
There is none other than Lord krshNA who is our
ultimate refuge.
The final say is that Lord krshNA is our refuge which
is expressed as
"kaNNan allAl illai
kaNdEr charaN"
