Proverbs pointing towards
Scant regard (alakshiyam)
It might have sounded preposterous to
accuse EmperumAn of indifference. However, if one views the micro narration of
this attitude expalained thorugh
proverbs -pazhamOzhi-s- in each pAsuram -
A sympathetic view has to be taken towards EmprumAn Himself on such
accusations.
Let us see the following
proverbs
piLLai than kayil
kiNNam -10-9-1 -- -- A valuable vessel in the hand of a child will
not create a panic. It will not cause any concern. Not even a bat of the
eyelid. Why so?
If it had been taken away by a strong
person, immediate action to retrieve the thing has to be taken and a warlike
situation will emerge. If the same thing is in a powerless hand? who will
bother. The thing can be retrieved any time. Similarly, EmperumAn thinks of
parkAla nAyaki.
ankayil
vattu -- 10-9-3 ---- A sweet in the hands can be thrown off or
consumed. A parallell treatment is meted out on Kaliyan.
kavUL koNDa
nEru --10-9-8-- The water taken into the mouth can be spat out or
taken into the body system. The fate of the water at that instant can be decided
mercilessly. Likewise, the fate of
Thirumangai AzvAr is kept in suspended animation.
Ar azhal Ombum
aNdhanar thOTTam -10-9-9 -- A strictly religious devotee following
vedic practices will incite fire and worhsipt the Lord. His meticulous rites and
strenuous devotion in these aspects will be matchless. Nevertheless, the gardens
around his habitat will not be harboured properly as his concentration would be
elsewhere.
Similar in the case of EmperumAn. He
considers ParkaAla Nayaki in utter scant regard.
peru vazhi nAvaR
kaniyinum eLiyaL - 10-9-5 -- A fruit fallen from the tree on
the highway can be taken or left as it is or taken and thrown away. it carries
sucha value.
Thriumangai Azvar feels that her value is
lesser than that- peru vazhi -highway;navaR kaniyinum eLiyaL - lesser value than
that of this fruit.
thoNdaR kai
thaNDu -10-9-4- A leader takes a weapon whenever he wants and gives
it back to his student or disciple and again takes back whenver he desiresso.
Likewise, nElan is being treated.
The
words
nin manathu
vaithAyEa - Oh! Lord You consider parkAla nAyaki as low as this
and peru
vazhi nAvaR kaniyinum eLiyaL --- as valuelass as a roadside fruit
indeed put both Emepruman and Azvar
in a dicey situation - both to be pitied.
what to be
done?
