Dear All,

Pranams!

aDiyEn would like to touch up on some of the anubhavams of Kaliyan on Krishnan. 
It will look little odd to combine Kaliyan and Kannan when compared to the 
anubhavam of Periyazhwar, Andal and Nammazhwar on Kannan. ADiyEn would like to 
draw reference form 3 Divya Desams from Kaliyan?s pasurams.

Periyazhwar starts with the birth of Kannan in Thirukkoshtiyur. Since the 
Goshti discussion on Kannan?s avataram happened there, Azhwar decided to call 
that as the place of birth. Kaliyan, on the other hand is a great sishyan of 
Thirukkanapuram Sowrirajan. He learnt the meaning of Ashtakshara mantram from 
Sowrirajan. He spoke about the birth of Krishnan in one of his pasurams on 
Sowrirajajan. Here is it,

thanNdhai kaalil vilaNGgaRavanNdhu thONnRiya thONnRalpiNn, thamiyENnRaNn 

Let us look into Azhwar?s anubhavam of Kannan when singing on his favourite 
Thirunaraiyur Nambi,

uRiyaar veNNe yuNdura lOdum kattuNdu, veRiyaar koonthal pinnai poruttuAn 
venRaanoor, poRiyaar maNYNYai poompozhil thORum nadamaada, naRun aaN malarmEl 
vaNdisai paadum naRaiyoorE 

Kaliyan discusses about Kannan?s mischievous activity in the above pasuram. He 
was eventually tied to the ural (mortar). Incidentally, Yasodha is the only 
blessed soul of all the times to have tied both 'akAram' and 'AkAram' . He 
discusses about Kannan's stealing activity in Siriya Thirumadal,

cheeraar thayir kadaindhu veNNai thiraNdadhaNai vEraar nudhal madavaaL vErOr 
kalaththittu naaraaruriyERRi nankamayayaiththathanai pOraar vErkaNmatavaaL 
pOndhanaiyumpoyyurakkam Oraadhavanpol uraNgiyarivuRRu thaaraar thadanthoLgaL 
uLLaLavum kaineettii 32 aaraadha veNNaivizhuNgi -- arukirundha mOraar 
kudamurutti munkidandha thaanaththE 

Kanna always likes things in natural form. He does not like butter milk. He 
likes butter and strong curd. After eating the butter He just rolls out the 
vessel with butter milk. He feels very happy to hear the noise of that rolling 
vessel. 

Azhwar says that Kannan, as a kid did not know that he cannot get more butter 
just because he can try to insert more of his hand in the pot. He could get 
butter only to the length of his small hand. He immediately pretends as if he 
is sleeping after doing all the mischievous activity of stealing butter and 
rolling the pots. 

Let us look at the anubhavam of KrishnAvatAram in Srirangam Perumal (Unique for 
Him in terms of number of pasurams, 50).

Kaliyan talks about some unique aspect in KrishnAvatAram,



?mAgam mAnilam muzhutum vandhirainjum?.?

KrishnAvatAram was the only avatAram where all the kinds of souls have done 
kaimkaryam to Perumal.

mAgam refers to Nityasuris. Adhi Seshan did kaimkaryam immediately after Kanna 
was born. He acted as the umbrella, when Kannan was carried by Vasudevar to 
Gokulam.

mAnilam refers to the bhadhAtmAs ? This is very obvious. Vidhura, the Gopikas 
an people in AyarpAdi have done kaimkaryam to Him in some way or other.

muzhuthum ? refers to Devas. Indran did kaimkaryam and surrendered at the feet 
of Perumal to protect him. 

aDiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
