"braathAkkal rakshakargal allar enbathai vaali pakkalilum rAvanan
pakkalilum kAnalaam.."
Swamy PL takes the example of vaali and ravanan from Ramayanam to
show that borthers cannot protect one soul completely
1. vaali
After getting wounded by Rama and just before getting killed
vaali throws an arrow of questions at Rama. Rama answers each of his questions
patiently. Finally, when justifying the reason for killing vaali by hiding, Rama
offers following explanation:
" Oh vaali! I could have let you off for all your deeds but
one. At one point of time, Sugriva had surrendered to you completely to let his
wife off. Still you did not give any heed to that. When a person completely
surrenders to you, you are supposed to protect that person at any case even if
he is an enemy to you. But you have failed to adhere to this sAstra. Hence, I
had to take this hard decision."
2. Ravanan
This case scenario resulted in Vibishana Saranagathi.
When Ravanan wanted to go for a war with Rama, Vibhishana tried
to prevent that and also warned him of bad time influencing his bad action.
Ravana was not ready to listen to his brother's words, and hence Vibishana had
to leave the kingdom. After this Vibhishana surrendered to Rama. Despite the
fact that he was from the arakkar kulam and also the enemy group, Rama offered
to protect him without a second thought.

"putrargal rakshakargal allar enbathai
rundran pakkalilum kamsan pakkalilum
kAnalaam.."
Swamy PL takes the example of rudran and kamsan in explaining the
incapability of son to protect his father..
1. Rudran
piNtiyAr maNtai
Enthip piRarmanai thirithanthuNNum,
uNtiyAn sApam theerththa oruvanoor, ulaka mEththum kaNtiyUr arangkam meyyam kachipEr mallai enRu maNtinAr, uyyal allAl maRRaiyArk kuyya lAmE? (Thirukkunthaantakam pasuram 19) Thirumangai Azhwar talks about the story of Rudran (Paramasivan)
in the above pasuram. Rudran, because of the pride of killing Tripuram
considered that he was superior to even his father, Brahma. Hence, he
plucked one of his father's head, which got struck in his hand as a vessel
(brahma kapaalam). In order to get rid of this, he started to roam around all
the places to get that filled with biksha. Finally, Perumal sprikles his
sweat from his chest and eventually the vessel breaks in to pieces. Azhwar
refers to this Perumal in Thirukkandiyoor. HarasApavimOcanan is the
Perumal's ThirunAmam in this Divya Desam. Here is another beautifu reference to
this incidence by Kaliyan. Azhwar sings on the Perumal in
SalagrAmam.

not protected by his son Rudran.
2. kamsan
The story about kamsan is very well known. He imprisoned his
father Ugrasenan and also his sister. Infact, he is a glowing example for a bad
element in all aspects.
Let us look at how other reationships also fail to protect the
soul caught up in samsara in the following posting.
