ACHARYA HRDHAYAM -sUthram 212. Contd.

As mentioned earlier, sUthram 210 toes the line of second sriyappadhippadi 
correlating thiru voi mozhi with dhvyam.

The first sriyappadhippadi inter-alia speaks of artha-panchagam being the prime 
focus of thiru voi mozhi.This is explained in detail in sUthram 211.

The third sriyappadhippadip padi mentions that the first pAsuram of 
thiru-voi-mozhi is the nutshell of the whole thiru voi mozhi.

This is elaborated in this sUthram by comparing this with the first pAsuram of 
thiru-virutham vis-a-vis artha-panchagam. This was seen in posting 109.

Certain further points are also explained in this analysis.

avidhyAdhi swarUpam: It was seen earlier, that poi-ninRa gnAnam refers to the 
nature of obstacles. How is this?
The lack of knowledge leads to wrong perceptions like thinking that body and 
soul is one and the same resulting in endless births and deaths. These further 
leads to accumulation of further cause effects of action culminating into pApam 
and puNNiyam again accentuating the births and death cycle. Hence, the 
words"ini yAm vuRAmai" 

How then, can this cycle be avoided in future? By His blessings. This is stated 
by " mayaRvu aRa mathi nalam aruLinan" 

The nature of illiteracy and the effects and the way to remove them is given 
hereinabove.

Atham-Eswara bhandham: The relationship between the Lord and the soul is 
highlighted. 

Thiru-virutham: "imaiyOr thalaivA-----> adiyEAn" 
Thiru-voi-mozhi: "athipathi-thozhudhezhu" .
Thus, the relationship between the Lord and the soul is that of shEsha shEshi 
is underlined here.
