avathArikai (Introduction)
Subsequently, piLLai lOkAchAryar mercifully explains the thoughts of AchArya and Sishya in caring for their bodies.
sUthram 337
AchAryan thannudaiya dhEha rakshaNam than vasthuvaik koNdu paNNak kadavan; Sishyan sva dhEha rakshaNam AchAryan vasthuvaik koNdu paNNak kadavan.
Simple Explanation
AchArya should care for his body with his wealth; Sishya should care for his body with his AchArya’s wealth.
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
AchAryan …
AchAryan thannudaiya dhEha rakshaNam than vasthuvaik koNdu paNNak kadavan
As said in “SarIramartham prANancha sadhgurubhyO nivEdhayEth” (one’s body, wealth and life should be utilised for the sake of one’s AchArya), as Sishya would have originally submitted all the wealth to AchArya, to care for his body, whatever is offered aptly by the Sishya at apt times, AchArya should accept that wealth and use it considering it to be self’s and not considering it to be the Sishya’s wealth.
Sishyan sva dhEha rakshaNam AchAryan vasthuvaik koNdu paNNak kadavan
Since the Sishya does not have any wealth and all his wealth are owned by his AchArya, Sishya should consider whatever is used to care for his body, to be owned by AchArya.
