SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan : Today , we will study the next three paasurams of Swamy Desikan's Mey Viratha Maanmiyam . 215) Brahma DEvan's commnad to Visvakarman *************************************** Yetthisai nilanum yeythi arum tavam seyhtha nannAL Satthiya viratham selvAi yenRa ohr urayin sArvAl atthisai senRu azhaitthu angu amararil yeduppAn tannai utthara vEdhi sey yenRu urai aNangu iRai uraitthAn (Meaning): The Lord of Saraswathi commanded VisvakarmA, the architect of the DevAs to construct an Utthara Vedhi to accomodate the Yaaga Vedhi (Yaaga SaalA ) for performing AswamEdha Yaagam at a sacred site known as Sathya Vratha KshEthram . This Brahma Devan did after listening to the divine voice (asariree ) commanding him to go to Sathya Vratha KshEthram to perform his elected yaagam . The divine voice instructed Brahma after Brahma performed a severe penance seeking the directions from the Lord about the most appropriate location to perform the planned AswamEdha Yaagam. Additional Comments: In the earlier prabhandha paasuram , Swamy Desikan referred to the agitated state of mind of BrahmA over the impact of his KarmAs , which stood in the way of the direct visualization of the Lord . He performed additional Tapas and still could not see the Lord and was mortified over his pitiable state. At that ime , the asarIree told Brahma that his mind will become tranquil to see the Lord only after performing 1,000 AswamEdha Yaagams .BrahmA was worried that it will be very difficult to complete those long yaagams and it will take a long, long time for finishing them.The asariree responded and said that a single yaagam performed at Sathya Vratha KshEthram would yield the fruits of 1,000 AswamEdha Yaagam and commanded BrahmA to go to Kaanchi (Sathya Vratha KshEthram ), where the Lord resides permanently on top of the Hasthi Giri . The asariree commanded BrahmA to construct a Yaaga Saalai on top of Hasthi Giri and perform the aarAdhanam of the Lord there through the Yaj~nam. Brahma became delighted and called upon the architect of DevAs to create that Uthara Vedhi for the Yaj~nam as well as lovely accomodations for the participants and visitors to the Yaj~nam at Kaanchi.Thus arose the Hasthi Giri YaagasAla and the RaajadhAni of Kaanchi . 216) The Glories of Kaanchipuram *************************** Utthama amartalam amaitthathu ohr yezhil tanuvin uyttha kaNayAl atthira arakkan mudi patthum oru kotthu yena uthirttha tiRalOn matthu uRu mihuttha tayir moyttha veNnai vaitthathu uNNum Atthan idamAm Athigiri patthar vinai totthu aRa aRukkum aNi AtthigiriyE This is the 83rd Paasuram found in AdhikAra Sangraham dealing with the SthAna VisEsha adhikAram of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram , where the uniqueness of Kaanchipuram is celebrated. (Meaning): Kaanchipuram is the KshEthram , where the heinous sins of the chEthanams are utterly destroyed and in that context , Kanchi is like the powerful Sudarsanam found in the hands of SrIman NaarAyaNan. Here resides on top of Hasthi Giri , the heroic Lord , who cut asunder the ten heads of RaavaNan in the mighty battle at Lankaa ; this is the same Lord who showed valour as Veera Raaghavan during His RaamAvathAram and demonstrated His soulabhyam during KrishNAvathAram , when He swallowed copiously the navaneetham and curds in His Mother's house and got tied by her to a mortar as punishmnet for His mischief. 217) BrahmA's delight over Visvakarman's creation **************************************** TiNN-maNigaL ponnudunE sErthalAlum sithayAtha nool vazhiyil sErtthiyAlum vaNmai yezhum yeer iraNDu vaNNatthAlum vAnavarkkum viyappAna vahuppinAlum oNmayudai vaasi viLi osayAlum oru kaalum azhiyAtha azhahinAlum MaNN-mahaLArku alankAram yenna mannum mathiL Kacchi nahar kaNDu MahiznthittAnE (Meaning): Thus , the Kaanchi rAjadhAni created at the command of BrahmA by ViswakarmA embraced all the rules of Silpa Saasthram . In many sections, the gems encrusted in gold showed their glorious lustre. The people of four varNams followed precisely their VarNAsrama dharmams in this divine city .The neighing of aristocratic horses filled the air everywhere demonstrating the richness of the city.Kaanchi was resplendent as an exquisite aabharaNam for the Earth itself and drew the admiration of the DevAs .Brahma saw the supreme beauty of this RaajadhAni and was immensely pleased over the thought that it would be the most appropriate setting for his AswamEdha Yaagam .
