kIzhch chonna …
kIzh
Among those which were mentioned in vasthavyam (place of residence) etc previously.
bhagavath kainkaryam aRivadhu SAsthra mukaththAlE
Since bhagavAn will not mercifully speak directly to the prapanna now, he should know about bhagavath kainkaryam through SAsthram such as Sruthi, smruthi etc which reveal about the same.
AchArya kainkaryam aRivadhu, SAsthra mukaththAlum AchArya vachanaththAlum
One should know about AchArya kainkaryam through SAsthram which reveals how to serve AchArya and his direct instructions where he will reveal his likes and dislikes.
