SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, AzhwAr pours out his grief for not being able to enjoy the Kutti KaNNan (in Devaki?s role). He cries out through the media of Devaki by simulating emotions motherly tenderness to the child. AzhwAr feels (in the Devaki role) : Please bless me with those wonderful childhood leelas that you performed. mallai maan^akark kiRaiyavan Rannai vaanse lutthivan^ theengaNai maayatthu ellai yilpiLLai seyvana kaaNaath theyvath thEvaki pulampiya pulambal kolli kaavalan maalati mutimEl kOla maamkula sEkaran sonna nalli saitthamizh maalaival laar_kaL naNNu vaarollai naaraNa NnulakE 7.11 11. Lord in the Krishna Avataram helped Kamsa, the King of wealthy and great Madhura, to attain bliss. In this Avataram Krishna's limitless and extraordinary exploits could not be seen by Devaki even though she gave birth to him. These Tamil songs bringing out the melancholy of Devaki was sung by Kulashekara, the king of Kolli, who adores the feet of the Lord as an ornament on his head, in a sweet tune. Those who recite these songs with understanding will attain Vaikuntam, the abode of Lord Narayana. Let us conclude this decad with Srirangam Sri TS Sundararajan Swami?s wonderful write up (extract) on Krishna name.. 'karshati iti krshNah' [enchanter, therefore krshNa]. Who can ever have his heart's content in speaking of krshNa? To think of krshNa is like spending an evening on the sea-shore; one cannot measure the sea nor know everything about it, but facing the sea of an evening yields its own fulfilment. Some of the Lord's roles came to my mind vividly, and I composed a modest 'anushTubh' which I offer humbly to the bhAgavata-s: "krshNAya vAsudEvAya gItA-SAstra-pradAyinE dEvakI-priya-bAlAya rukmiNyAh patayE nama:" vAsudEva was not only His name as the Absolute, it was the name most dear to Him too: "vAsudEvas-sarvamiti sa mahAtmA sudurlabhah!" The Lord's gift of the gItA is forever, and would be a single sufficient gesture of His love for His creatures. The SrIkrshNa-charama-SlOkam [sarva-dharmAn parityajya] should be the anchor-sheet of our career through life. The sacred name of dEvakI establishes the Lord's "paratva" identity itself in the ChAndOgya upanishad [3:16:6]: "ghOra Angirasa said, Be it for krshNa the son of dEvakI, and became rid of his cravings." Hence the sahasra-nAma listing of this name, "Atma-yOnih svayam jAtah vaikhAnah sAmagAyanah dEvakInandanah srashTA kshitISah pApanASanah." Thanks to Sri TS Sundararajan swami.
