THE SLEEPING
BRAHMA
rAvna, as we know had sought boon from
BrahmA.
When brahmA was sleeping, EmperumAn
took the form of an infant and indicated to brahma by counting the ten heads of
ravana.( Sri PBA svami points out that this event has been recorded only by Sri
PEi AzVAr and Tirumazhisai Azvar and not in purANams or
idihAsams)
Actually, a doubt may arise, why
should ravana approach while brahma was sleeping?
It is again because of joining of certain
letter combinations this happens.
Aindha arumaRaiyon
nAnmugathaOan nangu

yEaindha

àààààà ààààààààààà
ààààààààààààà
àààààààààààà
àààààà
àààààààààà....
the words nangu vurangil -While in Good
sleep.
Actually this word should not be split
like this but as
Aindha ArumaRAiyOan
nAnmugathOAn nan-kuRangil
yEinha
kuzaviyAi
àààààà ààààààààààà
ààààààààààààà ààà-ààààààààà
àààààà àààààààààà-àààààààà
ààààààààààà -77 kuRangu is
lap.
The Lord took the form of an infant on the
lap of Brahma
when ravanan had approached for a
boon.
So when we chant we chant like nan kuRangil
dasan
vanamamalai
padmanabhan
