Introduction
When you are
capable of changing your nature to fulfill the wishes of those
prayojanantharaparas (who surrender for a cause) will you not do the jobs of
ananyaprayojanas (wanting nothing else than emperuman himself) like me, wonders
azhvar.
Commentary
(mun vulagam vundu
vumizhindhAikku) In the very beginning
during the time of pralaya Sriman Narayana placed all the worlds inside his
stomach and protected without any damage.
Later during the time of Srushti (Cosmic Creation), for the welfare of
the chetanas the Lord created the world as it is.
Here azhvar says just two acts, swallowing and throwing out the
worlds indirectly indicating all other acts of the Lord.
“padaiththidandhu vundu vumizhindhu thErindhu vulagaLikkum”
[Thiruvasiriyam 6]
“parandha deivamum pallulagum padaiththu andRudanE vizhungi
karandhu vumizhindhu edandhadhu” [Thiruvaimozhi 4-10-3]
(avvulagam
eeradiyAl pinnaLandhu kOdal perithondrE)
While cotton is spun into cloth it undergoes 12 stages of
processing viz:-
Removing the seeds; Beating; Rolling;
Making thread (Yarning); Spinning; Weaving;
Folding; Selling; Washing; Drying; Wearing; Tearing;
Similar to the above the world undergoes processing in the hands
of the Supreme Lord. But hiding the same
the Lord appears in front of mahabali and begs for 3 foot of land and as if he
has got something great measures the worlds with his divine two feet filled
with extreme joy.
Is this a big job?
(ennE!) While comparing with your greatness the above
is a very small happening. Why are
people crediting you greatly for this small thing?
Wonders azhvar and further continues to explain the greatness of
the Supreme Lord who did all the above
(thirumAlE) Name
any wealth in this world, it belongs to that Sridevi nachiyar and She is your
property (thiruvukkum thiruvAgiya selva) and You went in front of Mahabali as a
begger….
(senkaN) Your red eyes are enough to hint your
Supremacy over the two vibhuthis (ubhaya vibhuthi) along with Sridevi
Herself. But You went in front of
Mahabali as a beggar to beg your own property.
(nediyAnE) Your
greatness is immeasurable but You dressed Yourself to be a beggar.
(engal
perumAnE) Oh! Master of ananyaprayojanas
like me. You did all these to fulfill
the wish of Indra (a prayojanantharapara).
(nee edhanai pEsu)
Only You can explain this irony.
“eththiram!” [Thiruvaimozhi 1-3-1] wonders nammazhvar
Thereby peyazhvar concludes that when the Lord put himself so low
for the sake of Indra who was only interested in getting back his wealth, he
will surely take care of the ananyaprayojanas like azhvar.
Interesting points from
DivyArthdeepikai of kanchi swamy
Azhvar
in the 18th paasuram talked about the Lord measuring the worlds and
the 19th talked about swallowing the worlds. Now in this paasuram azhvar combines both and
propounds a funny question to the Lord.
Oh Lord! You who with a small form swallowed all the worlds later
measured them with your 2 feet in a big form.
What is there in it to astonish?
Why does everyone fuss so much about these?
