Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :
 
Let us reflect on the 8th Paasuram of Kaliyan on Ahobila
KshEthra Naathan , Sri Lakshmi Narsimhan :
 
Naatthazhumbha Naanmuhanaum  Isanum-Aay muRayAl
     yEttha angOr AaLariyAi iruntha AmmAn idam
kaayttha vaahai neRRu olippak-kall athar vEynkazhai pOy
    tEyttha theeyAl ViNN sivakkum SingavEL KunRamE
 
(Meaning and comments ) 
********************************* 
 
The transformations in Brahma Devan , Indhran and all the other DevAs
after HiraNya samhAram are described here .The stage is set for
PrahlAdha Sthuthi of the Lord and the embrace of the Lord by
MahA Lkshmi to make Him Lasksmi Narasimhan (MaalOlan) .
 
" Naanmukhanum IsanumAi muRayAl naat-tazhumbha yEttha "
********************************************************************************
When HiraNyan got  the boons of "indestructibility " from Brahma Devan ,
he terrorized the world and its beings ; BrahmA and Siva transfromed
themselves into human forms to praise HiraNyan for fear of their lives ;
some times , they praised HiraNyan in their own forms . They forgot
who their real Lord was . Brahma was afraid of the HiraNyan that he
had created . Brahma slipped from the worship of the Lord prescribed
in SaasthrAs and lost his satthu and Svaroopa Jn~Anam . This went on
for a considerable time , when HiraNyan strutted around hailing his
supermacy and invincibility .
 
When NrusimhAvathAram took place and they ( BrahmAdhi DEvAs)
had the darsana soubhAgyam  of the adhbhutha Kesari ( wonderous form
as Naram kalantha singam) , Brahma , Siva and other celestials snapped back
into the true awareness of their status of eternal SeshabhUthars to
the Sarva Seshi , the Lord . Their dormant and temporarily immobilized
Svaroopa Jn~Anam blossomed forth to its full dimensions . They regained
their satthu (aay) and engaged in the sthuthi of their Lord (yEttha)
at a level much higher than that before . Their tongues developed welts
(tazhumpu) from the repeated utterance of the Lord's thousand names .
 
Brahma , Siva , Indhran and the thirty three crores of DevAs , MahA Lakshmi
and the Baala bhakthan , PrahlAdhan had the paramAnandham of the Lord's sevai
seated on HiraNyan's throne ( angu ohr AaLariyAi  IRUNDHA AMMAAN ) .
The Lord at Ahobilam was in  the seated pose (VeeRRirundha ThirukkOlam) .
This then is the  seated Jwaala  Narasimha Moorthy uthsavar that we have
the bhAgyam of worshipping inside PrahlAdha Varadhan Sannidhi today  
and at other sannidhis , where He is blessing us in Iruntha THirukkOlam .
 
The nine sannidhis of Sri Narasimha avatAra Moorthy can be enjoyed at
the Ahobila Matam home pages : http://www.ahobilamutt.org
 
Additional postings on the nine Nrusimha Sannidhis at Ahobila
KshEthram ( JwAlA , Ahobila , MaalOla , KrODa , Kaarancha ,
BhArgava , YogAnandha , ChatravaDa  and Paavana Narasimhans)
can be accessed at the archives in the series entitled " A SanyAsi
ascends to the Throne " by adiyEn  :

This posting covers the spreading of the resplendent JyOthi from
JwAlA Narasimhan  to reside at nine sannidhis around
the JwAlA Sthambham .

The shtuthi by Lord SivA ( Ahirbhudhnyan) came out in the form of
Mantra Raaja Padha SthOthram . Sri Muralidharan Rangaswamy has written
an excellent article on the sacred  Manthra Raaja Padha SthOthram , which you
can access at :
 
http://www.Ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/may98/0093.html
 
Sri Rangaswamy has written another informative article on the mahimai
of the Sudarsanam in the upper right hand of the Lord ( Naarasimha Vapu:
SrimAn Kesava: PurushOtthama:) , which became the adamantine nail
that bypassed BrahmA's boons and  destroyed HiraNyan :

The Third and the Fourth Lines of Kaliyan's 8th Paasuram on AhObila NaaTan
***************************************************************************************************
" Kaayttha vaahai neRRu olippa kall athar vEynkazhai pOy
   tEyttha theeyAl viNN sivakkum SingavEL KUnRamE "
 
AzhwAr says that this is the SingavEL KunRam , where even today
one has to climb the hills with difficulty due to its challenging terrain .
Here , the dry bamboo plants rub against one another as a result of
the strong winds at Ahobilam and generate forest fires that reach sky high .
The dried up fruits hanging on the many Vaahai trees burst open
in the encompassing fire and shoot out their seeds noisily all around .
The fire spreading from the dense bamboo bushes reminds one of
the fire that shot up to the skies during the time of destruction of
HiraNyan by Lord Narasimhan .
 
"ViNN sivakkum " sandhyA Kaalams must be wonderful to experience
at the Ahobilam hills (SingavEL KunRam) as described by Thirumangai
Mannan many hundreds of years ago .
