COMMENTARY OF UPANISHAD BHASHYAKARAR
There are many aNDams (Cosmic Eggs) in the Lord’s creation. There are agents appointed by the Lord to take care of these different aNDams. These agents belong to the aNDak-kulam and are known as aNDAdhipathis. The Supreme Master (adhipathi) for all this aNDak-kulams (aNDAdhipathis) is Sriman NaarAyaNan (aNDak-kulatthukku adhipathi).
One of the duties of the Supreme Master is to come to the help of aNDAdhipathis, whenever their aNdams are threatened by RaakshasAs and asurAs. He destroys the asura and Raakshasa vargam and helps the aNDAthipathis to continue to rule over their aNDams as His appointed agents. The aNDAdhipathis have rulership over their respective aNDams but the Lord is Nikhila ANDAdhipathi, the Emperor of all aNDAdhpathis. He is HrushIkEsan. The destruction of the Asura and Raakshasa kulam by HrushIkEsan is saluted by PeriyAzhwAr as: “aNDakkulatthukku adhipathiyAhi asurar irAkkatharai, iNDakkulatthai yedutthuk-kaLaintha IrudIkEsan”. Our Lord protects the dharmam and preserves the aNDams and their rulership by the aNDAdhipathis. BhagavAn’s Akhila ANDAdhipathithvam stays thus firm and eternal.
Now, PeriyAzhwAr reminds the IswaryArTees that they are also Bhagavath BhakthAs and therefore asks them to banish their thoughts from karmAs that yield alpa (insignificant and perishing) phalans.
