kurippu” In the
previous paasuram, azhvar instructed all to prostrate the divine feet of
emperuman, “adiadaiminO”. But will
all the hindrances that had followed for so many janmas allow us from doing so?
Thirumazhisai azhvar answers this question in this paasuram “When he is
sarvasakthan, capable of removing all the obstacles like he did in the case of
nappinnai piratti and others why should we worry?” (adisagadam sAdi) On the seventh day of his birth
Sri Krishna killed sagadAsuran, by just kicking him with his small soft feet and
protected himself for the welfare of all. (aravAtti) He danced on top of kaliya and
sent kaliya from that place thereby saving everyone in gokulam from the poison
of kaliya. Here periyavAchAn pillai’s commentary reads, “kaliyanai turaththi” that
indicates that probably “aravatti” could be
“aravOtti” (Anai pidiththosiththu) He stopped the big
elephant kuvalayApeedam with just his hands and broke its
tusk. (pEimulai nanjundu) He drank the poisoned
milk from the breasts of bhoothanai, in the process drank her
life. (vadipavala vAipinnaith thOlikkA
vallERReruththiruththu) For the sake of nappinnai piratti who
had beautiful coral-like lips and beautiful shoulders, he fought with seven
strong oxen and got them into control. (adisagadam sAdi aravAtti) – virOdhi nirasanam –Winning over the
enemy with the legs (divine feet) (Anai pidiththosiththu) – Victory for the divine
hands (pEimulai nanjundu) – Victory for the divine
mouth (vadipavaLa vAipinnai thOlikkA vallERReruththiruththu) – Victory
for the whole body. For the rest,
just one part of the body was enough but to get a priceless gift like nappinai
emperuman felt that he had to strain his whole body. That shows his bhaktha
vAtsalyam. (pinnum kurippu kOvAnAn) Emperuman did all
these acts when he took avatara as krishna. But after returning back to his divine
abode does he keep quiet? No emperuman rests as ksheerAbhdhi sAyee meditating
only on the welfare of his bhakthas.
During the avatara he got rid of the enemies by his physical activities
but lying in parkadal he does the same with just his sankalpa (thought). “vellai vellaththin mEl oru pAmbhai
meththaiyAga viriththu adhan mElE kalla nidhdhirai kolginra mArgam” (Periazhvar
5-1-7) “vurangu vAn pOl yOgu seidha perumAnai” (thiruvaimozhi
5-4-11) Even after
returning back his svamithvam (quality of remaining a master) remains and hence
he constantly meditates on protecting his slaves (bhakthas/seshans). So irrespective of him taking
vibhavAvatara or remaining as vyuha moorthi emperuman is concerned with the
welfare of his bhakthas so why should we worry’ enquires
azhvar. (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
