AchArya hrdhayam 204

Text: " thAikum, maganukkum, thambikkum, ivarkum, ivar adi paNindhavarukkumEa 
ivai vuLLadhu"

Summary: It was seen in the previous sUthram that AzhwAr out of compassion had 
preached to those who were interested in the materialistic world only as AzhwAr 
saw that these souls also had natural relationship with the LOrd.

In this sUthram, a list is made of those who had displayed such similar 
compassion.

thAikkum: In spite of the fact that rAvaNan had exhibited bad intentions, sri 
sEthA showed undue mercy and preached to him the way for his welfare. She 
advised him to befriend chakravarthith thirumagan. She reiterated that sri rAma 
pirAn is not a person who will ignore such offers as He is full of 
understanding, love, affection and compassion. Hence, she prescribed this to 
rAvanan. 

maganukkum: sri prahlAdhAzhwAn preached good lessons to his father. Just by 
spelling out the name of the Lord, prahlAdhan attracted the wrath of his father 
hiranyan who tried again and again tortured and tormented prahlAdhan.Despite 
this, prahlAdhan advised his father to attain salvatin by worshipping and 
approaching Lord sriman nArAyaNA. 

thambikkum: sri vibhEshanAzhwAn preached welfare to rAvaNan. sri 
vibhEshanAzhwAn strongly suggested that sri sEtha dhEvi should be returned to 
sri rAma pirAn forthwith. For this he was branded enemy of rAkshasAs. In spite 
of this he went on to preach welfare again and again.
