Fictional Ferocity
 
koNda sERRam
 
Ferocity comes to one naturally as it is a part of our emotion.  If one is very soft and never gets perturbed? Then anger may not come. This is seldom seen.
 
However, in case of sriman nArAyaNA wrath never wraps Him. Anger never comes up. It cannot surface because it is never underneath.
 
Now, a question comes up. If anger does not spring naturally how come the Lord vanquishes and demolish the enemies within no time? How come He slains the asurAs and demons mercilessly. Here again thirumangai AzhwAr comes up with a ready made answer. The Lord takes up the ferocity for the sake of devotees. He adapts the anger to suit the situation. He adopts the temerity temproarily to fulfill the desires of His devotees.
 
Here the srE-vachana bhUshana sUthram "Eswaran avatharithu seiyyum Anaith thozhilgaL ellAm bhAgavatha apachAram poRamaiyAlE" should be kept  in mind. The Lord comes into this world and does all the deeds as He cannot tolerate His devotees being insulted/harmed-bhAgavatha abachAram.
 
The crocodile caught hold of the elephant gajEndrAzhwAn. gajEndrAzhwAn wanted to do servcie to the Lord. The Lord took upon Him the anger and ferocity;
