even beyond eedu We have to remember up front that Azhwar paasurangal are
for us and it should be in the back of our mind when dealing with these
divine works. "naamam Paraankusamo Naaranamo"..Kurungudi Nambi incarnated as
Azhwar. Manda buddies (like us) have to approach these blessings through
eedu vyaakyaanams and without amplifying the differences between them (we
are not qualified to do so) we can enjoy each approach. Following one such
tradition we try to understand this paasuram.
>       My mind always is engaged in acts that will bring material happiness. 
> Even
knowing that Perumal anubhavam is the amrudam I am unable to suppress my
desires. Though I have no true bkakthi, I know the art of tricking not only
others but Perumal Himself by pretending to be dear to Him. By comparing Him
to KaruMaanikkam (Precious stone) and by praising the beautiful Chakrathu
Azwar shining in His Hand I act like those Sadus who have real affection for
Him. ( How aptly this applies to us! When we go to the temples how many of
us are taken aback by the bhakthi exhibited by simple minded - other -
people.). Thus believing me Perumal entered into me. He is a SuddhaSatvan. I
am made of puncha buthaas..what a surprise that He is inside me.  If this is
the fate who can change it?  Here "vidi"(fate) referes to His kaarunyam. We
express our extreme happiness (in spite of my pretension He showered His
blessings on me) by calling out "ayyo". By false act I got the real benefit
(Poyye solli meyye petrane). The benefit is Bhagavath anubhavam (meyye). 
>       In these 10 paasurams, Azhwar,  by obtaining the strength because of His
kaarunyam  challenges His swaatantriyam. Kanna! realising my false act, are
You running away from me? ..."araiyo".....This is an expression we use out
of affection in our daily life. We tell our spouse or children that if you
don't come back soon you will be punished  "adi vizhum".
