Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Thiruppavai pasuram 3 - "Ongi uLagaLandha"

Here the vyakhyanam explains that the Lord who slept in
the milky ocean (prior pasuram - 'pARkadaluL paiyath
thuyinRa paraman') did so to help His devotees. Listening
to Indra and other devas, He took the Vamana ("Ongi") 
avataram and grew. The decrease and growth of samasaris 
are due to their karmas and their nature, and are 
therefore dOshas. Whereas His acts are due to His grace 
and are for others, and are therefore guNas.

Here, an incident in Bhattar's life is recalled.

Bhattar said "srivaikuNtaththilirukkum pOthu samsArikaL-
udaiya izhavukkuth thiruvuLLam nonthirukkum". That is,
"In SriVaikuntam, the Lord's divine heart is sad 
thinking about the samsaris".

Upon hearing this, some people commented that how could 
the Lord who had no wishes that are unsatisfied and who 
is always filled with joy, be sad. 

Bhattar replied "'vyasanEshu manushyANAm' engiRathu 
guNa prakaraNamO dOsha prakaraNamo". That is "When the 
Ayodhya people said that Lord Rama feels sad when He
sees any of them being sad, is that quality one of 
dOsha or one of guNa?"
