avathArikai (Introduction)
Now, piLLai lOkAchAryar mercifully explains why these great personalities desire for inferior births, giving up the superior births.
sUthram 241
dhrushtaththil uthkarsham ahankAraththAlE; adhrushtaththil uthkarsham ahankAra rAhithyaththAlE.
Simple Explanation
In visible aspects, greatness is based on pride; in invisible aspects, greatness is based on not having such pride.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
dhrushtaththil …
The greatness which occurs for a person in visible benefits such as having superior birth, wealth etc, will occur due to pride which made even viSvAmithra to seek higher greatness than his current stature; the greatness which occurs in invisible benefits such as being subservient etc and having the wealth of kainkaryam (service) for a person will occur due to becoming humbler on having great desire for such aspects.
