Dear
srEvaishNavites,
QUID PRO QUO
PHALA-SRUTHI
It is common to observe AzhwAr-s giving a
benefit as a dole or an incentive at the conclusion of each pAsuram. For so many
years, the debate on the purpose for such an incentive, whehter it strictly
falls within the parameters of our philoshopical cult, are going on.
Even recently, I read an article regarding
negative incentive, - vaiyam sumappadhum vambu-from sri sadagopan iyengar
swami.
I hasten to add that, I am not venturing
into any discussion of the pros and cons of such phala-sruthi-s of AzhwAr-s. It
is perhaps suffice to say that these pala-sruthi-s, perhaps were the luring
thred or the tempting trump card for those souls indulging in the mudane
and materialistic world, day in and day out.
When, adiyEAn was participating in
the second day of adhayana utsava ghOshti and reciting the latter two hunderds
of the periyAzhwAr thiru-mozhi in thiruvallikkEANi, my dear friend and
ghOshti-mate thiruchERai nArAayNan, casually mentioned certain pAsuram-s
concluding without any such incentive.
When, we observed these with more
attention, these pAsuram-s, stand alone just on this basis, apart from other
things.
I shall appease my thirst for these, by
sharing some points on these pAsuram-s,
Thank You,
