Dear Sri VijayaRaghavan, 
Thank You. My intention was not to write in dertail about iLaya-perumAL but to 
ward off the impression that by refusing to being separated from sri rAmA- 
going with HIm to the exile- iLaya perumAL had no pArathanthriyam at all.

Hence, I took refuege in few AzhwAr's verses and vyAkyAnam-s and work of sri 
piLLai lOkAchArya.

True, there are many more fascinating facets to sri lakshmaNA.

thank you and regards

  A nice enlightening post. This covers only one aspect of the Bhakti that the
  Atma has for God, Lakshmana also excelled in other forms. Will post 
seperately on that.

  Dear SrEvaishNavites,
  I
  Why did sri lakshmaNA refuse to heed sri ramA's direction to remain at 
ayOdhyA? though this question is not directly taken up, the comentary -sri 
maNavALa mAmunikal's vyAkyAnam has addressed this issue.

  Two reasons have been attributed. 1. lakshmaNA could not stand separation 
from the Lord. 2. He wanted to do all the service to the Lord- that is why he 
mentioned 'aham sarvam karishyAmi'

  Why should he say 'i will do all ' . This can also be inferred from the 
vyAkyAnam:
  "inna inna adimai seiyya vEaNum enRa oru niyadhi inRikkEa, ellA adimaiyum 
seiyya vEANum ennum"

  An event has been quoted here. When they were in pancha-vati,  sri rAmA asked 
lakshmaNA to build a parNa-sAlA at a place which is located near water source 
and is also in a shadow area. sri lakshmANA felt doomed. Why? He felt that Lord 
had mounted independence on him. 
  'nam thalaiyilEa swAthantharyathai vaitha pOdhu perumAL nammai kaivittAr enRu 
vikrutharAi, pirAtti munnilaiyAga kaiyum anjaliyumAga ninRu- "yEavik-koLLa 
vEANum' enRu prArthithAr.

  The blemish of independence should not mix while doing kainkaryam.

  II. In the 85th sUthram the important characteristics of upAyam and upEyam 
are highlighted.
  "upAyathukku sakthiyum,lajjaiyum, yathnamum kulaiya vEANum;
  upEyathukku, prEAmamum,  thannaip pEANAmaiyum, thariyAmaiyum vEANum" 
srEvacahana bhUshaNam.

  For upEyam - Immense emotional attachment and affection towards the Lord 
which propels oneself not to be separated from Him adn do all the services.sri 
laksmaNA excelled in this. 

  Recalling the event referred hereinabove, it is crystal clear that lakshmaNA 
had feared independence while performing kainkaryam thus removing the defect of 
independence and self enjoyment in the shEshathvam.

  Does this not make iLaya perumAL a true role model of upEyam.

  That is why we often correlate iLaya-perumAL with the thiru-voi-mozhip pAsuram
  "vozhivil kAlam ellAm vudanAi manni, vazhuvilA adimai seiyya vEANum nAm" 
3-3-1;

  'lakshmaNO lakshmi sampannA:!"
