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. Respected Swami, We are learining from your beautiful explanations. SEshatvam is explained in stOtra ratna. AchArya says: SarIra bhEdai: tava SEshatAm gatai: which means AdiSEsha is for Him in differen forms like cot, pillow etc. So the statement "aham sarvam karishyAmi" has to be understood from this perspective, which means blemishless service as ordained by Him. Also lakshmaNa is younger brother who has to serve the elder one as per his order, in our Vedic culture. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Dasan Vishnu ------------------------ Yahoo!
