DhEvathAnthram- Demi Gods: The
demigods or other deities inherit their nominal powers from EmprumAn.They are
subject to His will and wish. It is magnanimity that He has conferred such
powers to them keeping in mind various factors

Mudhal ThrivandhAdhi. The fact that the deities have been installed in several directions and
for different actions are all the illusion EmperumAn has
created. Adding to this the rajas and thamas nature of these deities make thim
think themselves as supreme and act
accordingly. Sri Nam AzhwAr clears this illusion in several pAsuram-s. Here is one
instance, nAdi

4?10-2; AzhwAr addresses the samsAri-s who presume that these deities are the
prime ?These deities whom you approach and worship and you are all created by
EmperumAn. Thus, one should realize that these deities are subservient to the Lord, these act as if they are supreme and are devoid of knowledge and look upon EmperumAn during their distress.
