SrI:
 
Dear Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha BhakthAs:
 
Today  , we will study  the Seventh Paasuram of Kaliyan on
AhObila Narasimhan :
 
munaittha seeRRam viNN sudappOy moovulahum piravum
     anaitthum anja AaLariyAi iruntha AmmAn idam
kanittha theeyum kallum allA villudai vEdarumAy
     tinaittanayum sella oNNA SingavEL KUnRamE
 
(Meaning) : When Lord Narasimhan engaged in destroying 
the Asuran , HiraNyan , the fire of anger of the Lord  rose sky high ;
next , it climbed upwards to the three lOkams above and spread
beyond that to the Sathya lOkam , where BrahmA resides . There
even anukoolars , who are totally obedient to the Lord also got
impacted by the intensity of the heat just as the Prathikoolars
like HiraNyan and othe rasurAs , who hated the Lord . Kaliyan
describes the ascending jwAlai of anger of the ferocious Lord
climbing up and up this way :
 
" Munaittha SeeRRam (  the flame of anger that arose out of the Lord)
ViNN Suda pOy ( spread up and made the sky burnt ) ; It continued to
climb upward to the three worlds above the anthariksham and the worlds
above ( " ViNN sudap-pOy , moovulahum , piRavum " paraviyathu) . These
worlds were populated by Bhagavath BhakthAs and His servants like
Indhra , BrahmA and the keepers of Directions . These were anukoolars ,
who obeyed the Lord and worshipped Him . Even those people were
beginning to wither under the intense heat from the flames of anger of
the Lord .They got frightened ( Moovulahum , piRavum , anaitthum anja)
and did not know what to do. As these flames spread everywhere , our Lord
who has taken  the Narasimha avathAram chased HiraNyan , got hold
of him , laid him on His lap while seating Himself on the door step and
destroyed HiraNyan . His avathAra kaaryam was completed . Now , He sat
still ( irunthAn) . This place which served as HiraNya SamhAra kshEthram
is indeed Ahobilam ( AaLariyAi irundha AmmAnathu idam) .
 
The Third and the Fourth Lines of the Paasuram
*************************************************************
" Kanaittha theeyum kallum allA villudai vEdarumAi
   tinaitthanayum sellavoNNA SingavEL KUnRamE "
 
In this fierce  kshEthram , where JwaalA Narasimhan's
anger burst out in to giant flames and leapt across higher
universes during the time of the destruction of HiraNyan ,
other things were happening at the time of Kaliyan's pilgrimage .
 
There were bursts of fire from the burning bamboo bushes that 
shot out and set fire to other objects around . The heat on ground 
from the burning objects made the stone red hot and they cracked
and exploded ( Kanaittha theeyum , kallum ) .
 
Besides the burning objects and exploding rocks ( kanaittha theeyum 
kallum allaa) , there were other matters to worry about . There were 
the hunter tribes with bows in hand making deafening noises , while
chasing after the animals running helter-skelter from the rapidly
spreading wild fires all around ( villudai  Kanaittha vEdarumAi ) . 
All these frightening events made it impossible to advance in
pilgrimage even by the smallest measure at SingavEL Kunram
( tinaitthanayum sellavoNNaa SingavEL KunRamE ) .
 
The intensity of the Lord's anger that affected all the worlds 
******************************************************************************
In SrI NaarayaNeeyam , Sri Bhattadhiri captures the frightening
scene at Ahobilam , while he is standing before Lord GuruvaayUrappan :
 
thyakthvA tamm hathamAsu rakthalaharee sikthOnnamadhvarshmaNi
  prathyuthpathya samasta dhaithya paDaleem chAdhyamAnE Thvayi
brAhmyath bhUmi vikampithAmBudhikulam vyAlOla-sailOthkaram
  prOthsarpathkhacharam charAcharamahO dhu:sTAmavasTAm dhadhou
 
Sri NaarANeeyam : Dasakam 26.7 
 
Here , Bhatthadhiri describes the scene after HiraNya SamhAram .
The frightening Narasimhan tore the chest of HiraNyan , killed him
and cast him away and ran towards the other evil minded asurAs ,
who meant ill to PrahlAdhan , His intimate devotee . He tore them
also apart  with His adamantine teeth this time . While the Lord was
engaged in these samhAra activities , the flames of anger shot
out from the Lord in all directions . The world with all its charAcharams
rotated with the fast movements of the Lord's mighty feet ( CharAcharam
bhrAmyath bhUmi: ) . The waters of the oceans got agitated and formed
whirlpools ( VikampithAmBhukulam ) . The assemblies of mountains
shook as if they were engaged in a dance movement ( vyAlOla SailOthkaram) .
The skies got loosened and shed their stars ( prOthsarpathkhacharam) .
The whole world stayed in a fearful state ( dhu:sTAmavasTAm dadhou) . 
As the Lord engaged in His frightening taaNDavam , the aNDa kOsams with
their CharAcharams , mountains and  oceans shook every where .
 
After that rapid movement , Lord Narasimhan sat majestically on
the throne of HiraNyan according to Srimad BhAgavatham :
 
" tatha: sabhAyAm upavishtamutthamE nrupAsanE sambhrutha
   tEjasam vibhum ".
 
It appeared as though the Lord wanted to sanctify that throne
through His sitting on it to make it auspicous for Bhaktha
PrahlAdhan , who would sit next on that throne of
his father .
