upAyAntharam iraNdaiyum poRukkum.
Simple Explanation
Other upAyams (means) will tolerate both (self and others).
vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
upAyAntharam iraNdaiyum poRukkum.
Other upAyams are known as sAdhyOpAyam (upAyam gets manifested by individual effort) and are different from sidhdhOpAyam (bhagavAn who is readily available), for those who are devoid of knowledge about their total dependence on bhagavAn and are engaged in self-effort. Since these are mentioned in SAsthram (vEdham) as upAyam, they will tolerate self, and since they require the pre-requisite actions to be done in their coming into existence etc, they will tolerate others which are different from self as well. It is said in, lakshmI thanthram “bhakthyA labhyas thvananyayA” (He is attainable by pure bhakthi only), Athma sidhdhi “ubhaya parikarmitha svAnthasya akAnthikAthyanthika bhakthi yOgaiga labhya:” (bhagavAn is attainable by bhakthi yOgam which is without any other expectation by the one who is having pure heart decorated with karma yOgam and gyAna yOgam), lagvathri smruthi “janmAnthara sahasrEshu thapOdhyAna samAdhibhi: | narANAm kshINa pApAnAm krishNE bhakthi prajAyathE ||” (Due to karma yOgam in the form of thapas (penance), gyAna yOgam and bhakthi yOgam in thousands of births, for men, the sins get destroyed and bhakthi gets created) .
