THIRUPPAVAI SWAPADHESAM

SREMATH PARAMAHAMSA VANAMAMALAI JEEYAR.

It was seen in the twentiteth pAsuram that service to the Lord should be done 
to the divine consort in their togetherness.

The twenty-first pAsuram: On seeing the bhAgawadha ghOshti nappinnai pirAtti 
also considers herself one among them and calls upon them to awaken Lord 
krishNA by thinking aloud His ausipicious qualities. Thus, it is inferred that 
for the srEvaishNavic clan, thriving-thinking on His qualities, is their basic 
attribute.-yERRa kalangaL.

The twenty-second pAsuram: In this pAsuram they express their 
ananyArya-shEshathvam. What is this? The fact thatt they are subservient only 
to HIm and none else. It is thus understood that for His great blessing, this 
ananyArya shEshatvham becomes a gate-pass or a reference point.-angaN mA . 
abhimAna bhangamAi .vandhu thalaip peidhOm--- ananyArya shEshathvam.
angaN iraNdu koNdu engaL mEal nOkku-sAbham iyindhu-----Divine blessing.

The twenty-third pAsuram: The Lord feels that He has made these devotees to 
approach HIm instead of He approaching them. He enquires their requirement. 
They request HIm to adorn His assembly and sort out their problems. 

In contrast to those who take efforts to attain some benefits from Him, or For 
those who do not want exactly any benefits but put on efforts, the Lord Himself 
takes up the task of granting the desired end for those do not have anything to 
offer quid-pro-quo.
(yAm vandha kAriyam ARAindhu arUL)
--mAri mazhai muzhainjil.

The twenty-fourth pAsuram: On seeing that the Lord accedes to their request, 
the devotees forget their mission and commence talking and desiring His welafe. 
-mangaLA sAsanam. anRivulagam aLandhAi adi pORRi....

The subject matter makes them to do so, is the elicited spirit from this 
pAsuram.

The twenty-fifth pAsuram: If there are any obstacles for us, You may yourself 
remove it. ( varuthamum thErndhu)
As seen hereinabove, where the desired end is granted by Him the obstacles are 
also removed by Him. Both granting the desired end and removing the OBstacles 
is a matter of ball in Lord's Court. The person with whom the ball is, has to 
take the action and hence, it is the Lord who has to put the efforts, is the 
underscored philosophy here.
-oruthi magan. -varuthamum thErndhu magzhiyal.
