SVS 314 [Anala: - 294] (32.4)

294. OM ANALAYA NAMA: अनलाय नम:
Unsatisfied with any amount of help to the devotees.

For Madhurakavi Alwar, Nammlwar was all and he said he did not know any other God. Swami Vedanta Desika that is why says the by following God, one might get some sufferings; but those following His devotees are free from any suffering. An Acharya is necessary. While Sri Ranganatha is urangum perumal [உறங்கும் பெருமாள்], an Acharya is ulavum perumal [உலாவும் பெருமாள்]! Anala means fire. It purifies and its capacity to devour is limitless. A whole city or forest could be consumed by flames! Similarly, the Lord can not be satisfied easily, in rendering help. Sri Krishna at the end of His Avatar, felt that He had not helped enough, Draupati. This is, in spite of granting sarees to save her modesty and waging Mahabharatha war to kill all those who were responsible in that indecent act!
