Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :
 
 The Second Paasuram for the Lord of Ahobilam is :
 
 alaittha pEzh vaay vALL yeyiRu ohr kOLL ari aay , avuNan
    kolaik-kayyALan nenju idantha koor uhirALan idam
 malaittha selsAtthu yeRintha poosal vann-tuDi vaay kaduppa
    silaikkai vEdar thezhippu aRAtha SingavEL KunRamE
 
 - -  Periya Thirumozhi :1.7.2

Today , we will study the last two lines of the above Paasuram . 

There are the natives of Ahobilam . They are the hunters with a tight
sense of Community . Senju Lakshmi is one of them .Therefore , they 
consider Lord Narasimhan, who married Her as their kulam's son-in-law 
( MaappiLLai Swamy ) . They have a sense of ownership of the hills
and dales of Ahobilam . Now comes a band of devotees , who brave 
the dangers of the travel in Ahobilam hills and try to chase their fears
away by talking loud and being noisy . This makes the natives unhappy .
They want to assemble their clan by blowing on their trumpets and 
drums to fight " the intruders " .The hunters have their bows in hand
and do not hesitate to throw stones at the band of travellers rushing
towards the Lord's Sannidhi before the Sun sets and the wild animals
come out . The mutual distrust and the noisy quarrels between the two
groups fill the air and there is commotion all around . That noise never
subsides in the hills of SingavEL KunRam .

Out of their deep devotion for Narasimha BahgavAn , which at times 
appear to exceed even that of PrahlAdhAzhwAn , these BhaagavathAs 
climb the hills huddled together to overcome their anxieties arising 
from travel in the dangerous foot paths of Ahobilam hills populated by
hostile tribes and wild animals .

Such is the inaccessibility of Ahobila Dhivya dEsam ! The ardour of 
the devotees of the Lord overcomes their discomfort and fears as
they march bravely up the hills to have the darsana soubhAgyam of
the Narasimha BhagavAn .
