Subject: Good/Bad-2 -pollA arakkan GOOD DEMONS
nalla
asurar-thEya asurar-pollA arakkan
kulathaLavEA AgumAm GuNam- is the general
rule -old tamil saying.
Going by one's birth, the clan is the
criteria on deciding the good and badness of the sect.
Notwithstanding this, Sri ANDAL
mentions
'pollA arakkan'
in the 13th pAsuram of ThriuppAvai 'puLLin vAi kENDAnai
pollA arakkan..'
When we talk of pollA arakkan, there
should be good demons also. This is the import of the words 'pollA
arakkan'
There are good souls born in these asurA
clan. Sri vibhEshanAzvAn, Sri PrahlAdhAzvhAn are standing examples of
such.
Demons per se are bad. However, AzvAr-s,
apparently do not go by birth but by bhagavath-bhAgavatha sambandham.Thus comes
out these words
emphasising these
thougths.
It is to be understood therefore, that
'good' or 'bad' is not determined by birth but by the
bhagavath-bhAgavatha sambandham.
Sri Azhagia MaNavALap PerumAL nAyanAr
clearly mentions
"vipraRku GOthra,
charaNa,SUthra kudasthar-parAsara, pArAsraya,
bodhAyanAdhigaL;
prabanna jana
kUdasthar parAnkusa, parakAla, yethivarAdhikaL" AchArya Hrdhdayam
36;
ancestral lineage is not our ghOthram or
kulam but for we SrevasihNavites it is prabhanna jana kUdastharAna svAmi
Nam-AzvAr
'parAnkusa parakAla
yathivarAdhikaL'
