Questioning the Supreme
Potence of the Lord.
In the previous pAsuram sri kaliyan
questioned the credentials of the Almighty. In this pAsuram he casts aspersions
on the supreme powers of the Lord.
Sri PBA kanchi swAmy aptly summarises this
as:
"kEzh pAttil
em-perumAnudiaya sarvagjanthiRku kuRai kURinAr; ippATTil avanudaiya
sarva-sakthithvathiRku kuRai kURuginRAr"
What is that ?
The primary quality of the relationship
between the Supreme and the Soul is subservience of the soul manifesting as a
service to the Lord. This service or kainkaryam is not done voluntarily by the
jEvAthmA -that is, there is no swAthanthriyam for the jEvAthmA to select the
kainkaryam- rather the kainkaryam is commanded by the
Almighty\.
"paNi koLLa
VEANum;yEAvip paNi koLLA vEANum was the lookout of sri iLaya-perumAL
always. This commanding the jEvAthma by the paraman is an invisible or rather
visible evidence of His powers.
this is what is questioned by sri
thirumangai mannan. His arguments are
"I have come to thiru-indhaLUr to your
doorsteps.You are the Supreme Lord capable and having full right and powers and
command at your fingers. I am the jEVAthmA waiting for the service command from
You. Despite all this You have lost this opportunity. Does it not throw a
blemish on your powers and potent and cast aspersions of Your masterly
position?"
"mATTer AnEr
paNi nEr koLLa emmai paNi aRiyA vETTEr.."
4-9-7;
That is thirumangai AzhwAr for
you
