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?
 
en seivadhu enthai pirAnEa
dasan
vanamamalai padmanabhan
