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
.
