SWAPADESA VYAKYANAM - TIRUPPAVAI 21 AND 22


21 and 22) Surrender of the ahamkara and mamakara, the feelings of I and Mine. The words வலிதொலைந்து in stanza 21 are indicative of the destruction of the strength of the self, and the words அபிமானபங்கமாய் in stanza 22 show the death of self-love. These stanzas end with emphasizing the effect of God’s Kataksha or gracious look. That and not enjoyment or expiation is the true panacea of our sins.
