Apte dictionary [1] gives the following meaning for avyAja and vyAja.

 

vyAja: 1.deceit; 2.art; 3.a pretext; 4.an artifice; 5.wickedness

 

and

avyAja: 1.absence of guile or fraud; 2.simplicity

 

The only thing in vyAja that comes close to reason is pretext. However

Monier Williams [2] defines "pretext" as follows: "a purpose or motive

alleged or an appearance assumed in order to cloak the real intention

or state of affairs"

 

I was under the same impression about avyAja like Prof. Jambunathan

and others, but when I went and read the commentary and saw the

meaning in dictionary (as well the tamil translation [3]), I found

that as not the direct meaning of the word.

As zri ravi explained "pretext" would fit my understanding as zrI mAtA

does not need any pretext ( my english translation for tamil kAraNam)

to shower her her karuNa which is herself.
