enakk-ArAdh-ena ninRa nErAr pEArAn-
nErvaNNan
TO BE SATISFIED OR NOT TO BE?


It is said that Lord is easily satisfied. A small leaf, little drop of water, 
any flower with devotion satisfies Him. However, this thiru-mozhi mentions that 
the LOrd at thiru-nErmalai is not satisfied at all. What is this contradiction? 

Well, the Lord is satisfied from whatever we give but is never satisfied from 
whatever He does for us. 

The Lord does lot of things for the devotees. Descends into the earht, lowers 
Himself, resues animals, devours the world surrounded by water and rescues the 
souls from the great praLayam and still feels dissatisfied-no! not enough  is 
His feeling.
He wants to do more and more for His devotees and longs to do more and more.

This fact is brought forth by sri thiurmangai AzhwAr in the fourth thiru-mozhi 
of the second ten-thru-nErmalai padhigam.The pAsuram:

"pArAr vulagum, pani-mAl varaiyum, kadalum sudarum ivai vuNdum,
enakk-ArAdhu ena ninRa em-perumAn.....nErAn pEArAn..." 2-4-6;

After having swallowed the bhUlOgam, the snowcapped mountains, the oceans, sun 
and the moon and rescuing them, still feels that 'this is not enough'.

The vyAkyAnam aptly summarises this idea."prajaigaL vishayamAga ellAm seidhum, 
pinnaiyum onRum seiyyAdhAnAiyirukkiRapadi" In the matter of devotees, despite 
having done everything He is behaves like one who has not done anything.

nErAr pEarAn is the beautiful name given by AzhwAr. The name of the em-perumAn 
in this divya-dhEsam is "nEr-vaNNan"


"enakkArAdhena ninRa em-perumAn-nErAr pEArAn"
