PiLLai vuRangAvilli
dhAsar-ponAichi
The great bhagawadha nishtai of Sri piLLai
vuRangAvilli dhAsar and ponnAichi is renowned. Here is one incident created by
Sri RAmAnujar himself to make this world to realise their large heartedness and
bhAgawadhA nishtai.
Sri RAmAnujA asked a few srEvaishNavites,
in the late hour of the night when viilli dhAsar was with him, to visit
PiLLai vuRangAvilli dhAsar's residence and remove the jewels from pon-Aichi who
must be fast asleep.
Accordingly, they made a beeline to her
house and saw that she was sleeping resting her left side on the floor and the
right side was adorned with jewels and ornaments. The left side also was so
decorated but was near the floor making it difficult to remove
deftly.
On seeing the srEvaishNavites, she feigned
sleep and permitted them to remove the ornaments without any problem whatsoever
from the right side. After they had removed so, to facilitate them to remove the
jewels on the other side also, she tried to rest the right side on the floor to
make it easy for the srEvaishNavites to take off with the booty.However, when
she so turned, they thought that she had woken up and legged it fast towards Sri
RAmAnujA s thirumALigai and narrated the incident. EmperumAnAr now asked them to
follow Sri villi dhAsar who was by then, going back to his residence, and
observe the discussion between the couples.
On entering the house, Sri vuRangAvilli
dhAsar was astonished that she was wearing the ornaments on one side alone and
the other was completely bereft of any jewels. He asked her the truth. She
narrated the incident explaining that when she turned the other side to enable
them to take off the valuables, they ran away. '
Now, here comes the hihglight.
VuRangAvilli dhAsar condemned her for exhibiting swAthanthriyam. 'After all the
jewels are theirs nd it is up to them to remove it to their desire. By turning
to the other side you have exposed your swAthanthriyam and made these jewels
useless. The jewels taken by them have become useful but here remaining with you
is indeed of no use"
PonAichi wanted to help the
srEvaishNavites by enabling them to remove the jewels and
turned.
PiLLai vuRangAvilli dhAsar also wanted to
see that the srEvaishNavites are benefitted.
The argument ensued for a common cause but
on different counts.
Nevertheless, the large heartedness of the
couples has no match like them.
