AchArya Hrdhayam -sUthram 223
The Fifth Ten
Lord of the Lords-dheiva nAyakan


"dhEsa kAla dhOsham pOga engumidam koNdavargaLai mEavith thozhudhu 
ujjEviyingOL, nEngaL niRuthugiRavargaLai dhEvathaigaLAga niRuthinavanai...."

Summary: The hindrances, obstacles and problmes are created by the defects 
plaguing this world. What are these defects? The disease which eat away the 
life, the hunger, enemity, and other bad things, all of which remove peace of 
mind and torment one and all. These are termed as 'dhEsa dhOsham'

Similarly, the problems associated with certain period- kali kAlam--which make 
things varied from their normal sense and attribute and result in illusion and 
illiteracy. These are termed as 'kAla dhOsham'.

How to escape from these deficiencies associated with the place and period 
which create a lasting negative impact?

Approach and surrender unto the Lord Almighty without expecting anything 
quid-pro-quo -in exchange

Who is this Lord Almighty?

He is the prime-entity who has posted deities at various places akin to a king 
deputing his servants. "Oh!. souls all of you, out of ignorance approach these 
deities, who have been actually installed by the Lord. Approach this Lord 
Almighty who has assigned these posts to these deities.Out of your ignorance 
and shyness you are still acknowledging these deities as God. Hence, Surrender 
unto Him" is the ultimate advice by swAmi nam- AzhwAr.
pAsuram-s: 

The dhEsa dhOsham-s mentioned above are : disease which torment and eat away 
the life,
enemity, hunger and other bad effects.

"konRu vuyir uNNum visAdhi, pagai, pasi, thEyana ellAm, ninRu ivvulagil 
kadivAn..."--> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-6; visAdhi-vyAdhi=disease; pagai-enemity; 
pasi=hunger; thEyana ellAm-- All bad things. The Lord will remove all these.

"kaliyum kedum kaNdu koNmin"---> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-1--> The kAla dhOsham - 
The kali- will also be decimated by the Lord's Grace.

To escape from the effects of these, surrender unto the Lord.

"mEavith thozhudhu vuyminErgaL' ---> thiru voi mozhi 5-2-9---> Approach Him and 
survive.

"niRuthinAn dheivangaLAga ath theiva nAyakan thAnEa"--thiru voi mozhi 5-2-8---> 
He is the Almighty who has posted smaller deities but oh! souls, you apporach 
these as the god. Only, the Lord Almighty can rescue. He has deputed these 
similar to a king assigning roles to his servants. "hence, oh! souls, realise 
that these are not god but smaller deities installed by the Lord Almighty. 
Surrender unto Him and get yourself rescued' is the counsel by swAmi 
nam-AzhwAr. 

He is the Lord of the Lords- dheiva nAyakan.
