SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, After mudhal aazhwArs, next we have begun to enjoy Thirumazhisai AzhwAr?s verses on thiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse is the 44th verse in Naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi.. koNdu kudangaalmEl vaiththa kuzhaviyaay, thaNda arakkan thalaithaLaal- paNdeNNi, pOmkumaran niRkum pozhilvENG kadamalaikkE, pOmkumara ruLLIr purindhu. 44 Oh Young People! Proceed to ThiruvEmkatam desirously, where the Ever Youthful Lord Srinivasan is standing most gracefully- the One (as a baby sitting on his lap) who had hinted to BrahmA, that he should not grant boon to punishable rAvaNan, by drawing ten lines on the ground with his toe finger, erased them and disappeared. DhaNda arakkan thalai thaaLaal- paNdu eNNip pOm. SrI Sadagopan Swami of New York as usual elaborated on the above: few years ago: According to purANams, Brahma devan was approached by RaavaNAn. He hid his natural form with ten heads and appeared before BrahmA as some one else to seek the boon of indestructibility at any one's hands. At that time, our Lord appeared before BrahmA as a beautiful toddler. Brahmaa was charmed by the beautiful child and lifted it up and placed it lovingly on his lap. What did this MaayAvi child do? It used its fingers to count the ten fingers on its two feet to indicate on the sly to Brahma that the one seeking the boons is none other than the ten headed Ravana in disguise. Sriman NaarAyaNA wanted to curb the runaway impulse of BrahmA from giving too much away and strengthening the hands of RavaaNA, who deserved punishment instead of rewards. RavanA ended up with a boon that offered protection from every one and every thing except a human , since he did not think too much about a human being as an adversary in battle.He asked for protection against devAs , animals, weapons etc. Our Lord forewarned thus Brahma as a playful infant to protect His avathAra Kaaryam. That is what Thirumazhisai is alluding to. AzhwAr refers to ThiruvEnkatamudiaan as Kumaran? eternally Youthful Lord. He is yuvaa: kumara: - says Sruthi. He is the only Youthful One eternally Young; [Kumaran] and the One who is Supreme Lord [Parathvam].. ? says Thirumazhisai Piraan. He also appeals to the youngsters who are now physically able, string to climb the hill and pay their obeisance to ThiruvEnkatamudiayaan. When old, you will not be able to take the strain.
