Indhiran-Brahman-Esan-imayavar.
'IndhiranOADu Biraman
Esan imayavar ellAm manthira mAmalar kONDu.maRaindu varAi vandhu ninRAr...'
2-8-1 of PeriyAzvAr thirmozhi.
The chief of DhEvAs Indhiran, the
functinal head of creation BrahmA and the functional head of destruction RudrA,
all worship EmperumAn with Vedic verses.
All the dhEva clans worship Him
alongwith us.
The commentary is
wonderful.
We are chanting this pAsuram daily
but the import can be realized from the words of
vyAkyAnam.
Sri MAmunikaL questions " when
BrahmA and RudrA are greater than Indira , why Indra should be placed first and
others tagged along wth him?
Actually, they do not have any
exalted status of supremacy.Their powers are derived from their functions of
creation and destruciton respectively.
Since, they doe not have any
special stauts, they are also put along with indhira.
The text of comemntary is worded
wonderuflly in this regard:
'mUvaraiyum sollugiRa
idathil, indhiranai mundhuRach solliugiRadhu,avanOpAdhi kAryathAl vandha yEATRam
ozhiya Esvarathvagandham illai'
When the three are being told
(BrahmA, RudrA and IndhrA) why Indhra should placed first? This is because, like
him other two derive their status from their functions and they dont have any
kind of supremacy whatsoever. Like any other AtmA, they approach EmperumAn with
fresh flowers and Vedic verses like purusha sUktham.
EmperumAn is the Supreme and all
others are AtmAs like us and any exalted status is due to their functional
posts.
