avathArikai (Introduction)

The disaster that will occur if we change the meaning instead of explaining this way, is mercifully explained by piLLai lOkAchAryar subsequently.

sUthram 375

maRRaippadi sollil izhavukkuRuppAm.

Simple Explanation

If explained differently, that will lead to loss.

vyAkyAnam (Commentary)

maRRaippadi sollil

That is – instead of saying this way (as explained in previous sUthram), as explained in sUthram 367 “bhayAbhayangaL iraNdum mARAdil …“, if the reasons for loss and gain were reversed saying “the reason for loss is ISvaran’s freewill, the reason for gain is AthmA’s noble qualities”, that will lead to ISvaran withdrawing [from helping us] and will lead to losing the attainment of his divine feet. Alternatively – instead of saying that the loss is by AthmA and gain is by ISvaran as in previous sUthram “The reason for loss is chEthana’s karma, and the reason for the gain is ISvaran’s krupai”, if we said that ISvaran’s freewill is the reason for both loss and gain of AthmA, as ISvaran will withdraw considering that he is blamed for AthmA’s existence in samsAram since time immemorial, it will lead to losing the attainment of bhagavAn forever.
