dhUthu pOnavan ERRam
 
Continuing the discussion on the fifth sUthram of Srivachana bHushaNam- let us now see how Sri MaNavALa mAmunikaL analyses the abovementioned  term.
 
Though the job of emissary is good, it is not an exalted one.
Visualise a king and  his messenger. The messenger has to don a pamphlet (Olai) on his neck indicating that he is the messenger of such and such person.
It is obvious that the emissary being a  representative/agent of the king,definitely is in a lower status than that of a king.
 
If in relation to a king, the messengerâs status is low, imagine what will it become if it is compared to that of King of Kings, the Lord of Lords-The Supreme. It will be belittling His status.
 
However, svAmi piLLai LOkaChAr mentions this as an attribute and prefers this term to Supreme.
 
âààààààà ààààààà àààà àààààà àààààààààà ààààààà?
 
svAmi maNavALa mAmunikaL explains this in detail
 
The reasons are:
 
a. The Lord out of compassion, saulabyam and sauselyam takes upon Himself this task.
 
b. The Supreme stoops down to this level for the sake of those  who had taken refuge in Him.
 
Overlooking His greatness and ignoring the smallness of the job, Sri KrshNA took upon Him the task for the sake of pANDAVAs. This is the wonderful quality of -Asritha pArathanthiryam.
Is that not the reason why Kaliyan eulogised this great divine act as
 
âinnAr dhUthan ena ninRAn' Periya Tirumozhi 2-2- 3.
'ààààààà ààààà àà ààààààààâ ààààà àààààààà à-à-à.
 
AzvAr-s Divya SUkthIs are the source for  AchAryAs to spell out these ideas. Is it not?
ààààààà ààààà àààààààààà àààà ààààààà ààààààà àààààààààà ààààà;
 
Periya JEyar's vyAkyAnam-s are dense with such incisive, wonderful and in depth analysis.
 
These great attribtues of the commeantries are to be understood to realise the values.
