Svarūpam of Parabramham

Meaning:

This samsaaram is a karma bhumi. The Lord plays a sport of distributing karma-phalam to the aathma as per what it had accumulated through the course of its janmam. There are no limits to the Lord's auspicious gunas. He has "Svarūpa-Niroopaka Viseshanam and Niroopita-Svarūpa Viseshanam" among his gunas. Viseshanam is a distinctive characteristic that sets Him apart from others.

The Svarūpa Niroopaka Guṇas are five in number:

Satyatvam: He is invariant at all times.

Jnatatvam: His knowledge is eternal.

Anantatvam: He is present everywhere at all times.

Anandatvam: His presence brings out eternal bliss.

Amalatvam: He is the only one who is blemishless.

Meaning:

Everything in creation is under the control of the Lord's Saṅkalpam.

Attigiri Nathan and Perundevi Tāyār pervade in all objects of creation and control them by their will. The Lord will sever all the bonds of samsaram for those who perform sharanagati and will grant them moksham.

Meaning:

Svarūpam of jeevaathma.

The Pancha-bhutas, the senses, the mind, prana, and jnana constitute the body. This is distinctly different from the jeevaathma. The jeevaathma is of a diminutive size, and it differs from one body to another. The only aspect that is common to all jeevaathmas is the property of being a servant to the Lord.

Meaning:

The Lord witnesses how the jeevaathma enjoys the karma-phalam that was provided.

As seen in the first Pāsuram, the Lord distributes the karma-phalam to every jeevaathma. As the jeevaathma begins to experience the karma-phalam, it begins to detest it, and desires start to occupy the body. Due to this desire, the jeevaathma is sent continuously back into the ocean, known as samsara, to fulfill its desires. Perarulalan, along with Perundevi Tāyār, enters the jeevaathmas and bears witness to how the jeevaathma enjoys its karma-phalam.
