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.
