SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesika namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Last verse- AzhwAr said in the last line: poRutthu nalgu- Forgive, accept and bless these verse.. ? last verse was about seeking His forgiveness for offense-; this verse is on seeking His acceptance and Blessing. vaithun^innai vallavaapa zhiththavarkkum maaRilpOr seythun^innai seRRatheeyil venthavarkkum vanthunnai eythalaaku menparaatha laalemmaaya! naayinEn, seythakuRRam naRRamaaka vEkoLNYaala naathanE! (111) Our most wonderful Lord! AscharyanE! [em maaya!] JagannAthA! (jnAlam nathanE!) About Such Greatest You- such Blemishless Faultless Supreme Lord, they- sisupAla and others] alleged some negative qualities and wring intentions on Your deeds and distorted the leelAs of Yours as dhOshams and performed a battle against You [who has no enemy or opposition to You at all] and got themselves killed in the battle filed being burnt by the fire and flakes of Your anger. Even the likes of such SisupAlan attained Your Lotus Feet and are able to attain Your abode- Thus Greatest Sages praise You to reach and attain You and thus blessed us with their verses and compositions. Hence, this ignoramus, illiterate, a~njnAni, also has sung these verse- and please consider and think as if these apAradhams (apachArams- offences - mistakes- blunders) are good ones (as upAchArams). [naayinEn seydha kuRRam naRRam aagavE koL]. Azhweer! When you do without purity, and what you did is kuRRam (apacharam or offences), how can I forgive that and accept, condone? Then if that is the case, I need to accept everyone's action in the world and grant them mOksham? on similar lines. ? Lord asks. The response is this verse. The Sages have declared that forgiving the apachArams and follies- wrong doings- is Your guNA and You accept those wrong doers as well. Sisuapala said that You are not a kshathriyan; You are a mere lowly cowherd Boy; You are not qualified to wed Rukmini PiraaTTi; Thus- He alleged such unparliamentary words and words that are unpalatable to even the ears of Kauravas. He scolded You during Raajasooya yaagam that You are not qualified to accept dhamboolam [betel leaves] and You are anarhan. Also, You as the Lord accepted the ardent devotees ? GopikAs and rejoiced being with them for their immense devotion on You, Sisupala alleged about your Raasakreedai and navaneetha chouryam (stealing Butter) . What did he achieve at the end after all this scolding You in public? He was blessed (and killed) by Your divine ChakrA and he attained Your Lotus feet. He scolded You and You accepted all of that as praise as he listed all your leelAs (in negative sense and intentions); You accepted all of them as if he is praising You and listing your leelAs. Dhandhavakkiran, Vidhoorathan assembled themselves in the battlefield and were killed by your anger fire and reached You as well. Thus even those wrong doers were blessed by You and similarly, You should Bless me as well. Sisupala and others were bhakthas before. Due to the curse, they behaved as if they were my enemies. The time was coming to an end and I accepted them. Their actions- offences- [kuRRam] thus were considered by me as praises [naRRam] because their entire life itself was the punishment for their past karma- sin; there was no need for any naraka- Lord appears to tell AzhwAr. AzhwAr responds: If that's the case, I am also having good intention to praise You and only that. Since I am the lowliest self [naayinEn), in the process of praising, adiyEn may perform some unintentional wrong doings without my knowledge. Please forgive that and accept them as praises. kuRRam naRRam aagavE koL- Please bless and consider the apachArams- wrong doings- as upAchArams as service. It is also wrongly interpreted here that the Lord enjoys the mistakes and wrong doing or offences of ours [i.e. His devotees] and He considers them as equal to the ones prescribed in SaasthrAs; Hence we, His devotees, can be and act in whichever nature on manner. All will lead to His anugraham only- This is all unacceptable and totally untenable. *Sri Periyavaacchan Pillai mentions also in line with the commentary as furnished above that: If ever there is a mistake or offence (kuRRam) while performing the kaimkaryam unintentionally , please bless the same as good action (naRRam). Also Sri PVP adds: Oh most wonderful Lord [em maayaa!- The One showed to me Your most wonderful kalyANa guNA of forgiveing Asrithar's aparAdhams and accepting them as praises due to Your utmost Compassion! Sri PVP mentions: This lowliest self ?naayinEn seydha kuRRam naRRam aagavE koL- I have no other refuge than You ? ananyagathithvam- I kook for Your Hand and perform these kaimkaryams, and while doing so, the mistakes that occur unintentionally many please be accepted as good ones due to Your dayA. Thus reading and enjoying Sri PVP's commentary sserts that He does not forgive ALL kinds of mistakes and wrong doings of ours; Also other unintentional mistakes [while in the process of serving Him] are forgiven by Him only; and not to be construed as if He enjoys those mistakes as well. He accepts them as anukoola vrutthi. If God were to accept the defects of devotees as good qualities, it might encourage them to commit more sins. Besides, a sinner deserves punishment. So, if unintentional apacharam [offences] is committed while doing kaimkaryam, (or any service to Him) then that can be accepted by God as if it is good (upAchAram). All errors and omissions thus are forgiven by the Lord if done intentionally; And any intentional committing is to be punished and thus He lets us get away with it with minor punishment (vaaL koNdu veesionA pOlE)- if we had already surrendered to Him. Or one has to do prayaschittham for the intentional trespasses / mistakes or apacharams Sri PVP's vyAkhyAnam: * kaalakshepaartthamaagap paNNina anukoola vrutthiyaal vandha kuRRatthaiyum, praamaadhikamaagach cheydha kuRRatthaiyum guNamaagak koLLavEndum engiRaar.
