The First Two lines of the
Ninth Paasuram (Continued) :
**********************************************************************
In this Paasuram , Kaliyan
uses the VisEsha padha prayOgam of
" Nammudai NamperumAL ".
Nammudai means at one level
the One who blesses us with
His VisEsha darsanam at
Ahobilam . "Nammaduai" is a
short for Nammudaya ( Our).
This is a way of
celebrating VisEsha BhAndhavyam
(Special relationship) . He
is our Mother , Father , Master
and every thing . We are
Mumukshus ( Those desiring
Moksham) and He is the
Moksha DhAyaka
Mukundhan .
Nammudaya PerumAL has to be
comprehended as
Lakshmi SamEtha
Narasimhan and not Just as Narasimhan .
MahA Lakshmi takes on the
appropriate roopams befitting
the appropriate avathArams
and does not leave His side
even for a second (
NithyaivaishA JaganamAthA VishNO :
SriranapAyini) . Even in
the Vamana avathAram , where
He had to appear as a
bachelor , He hid Her under the deer
skin attached to His
Yajn~Opaveetham . "Nammudai "
PerumAL ( Our PerumAL)
is thus a
special PerumAL ,
who can only be understood
through
HIs PradhAna
VisEshaNam
(vIz) ., PirAtti as per
AruLALa
PerumAL
EmperumAnAr's Sri Sookthi:
aakAriNasthu vijn~Anam
aakaara Jn~Ana pooravkam
tEnAkArm Sriyam
Jn~AthvA Jn~AthavyO BhagavAn Hari:
Here , the AchAryan
states that a vasthu's visEshaNam has to be
understood first before
one can comprehend the vasthu .Therefore ,
BhagavAn's
tatthvam can be understood only after comprehending
the Tatthvam of PirAtti
, His
chief / primary VisEshaNam .
Swamy ParAsara Bhattar
focuses on this unique sambhandham
of MahA Lkashmi with
Hari NaarAyaNan this way in one of
the slOkams
of GuNa
Rathna KOsam :
---------------------- Bhavathee sambhandha-dhrushDyA Harim
,
paSyEma prathiyAma
yaama cha paricharAn prahrushyEma
Oh MahA Lakshmi ! It is
only through Your sambhandham ,
we enjoy Him (Your
Lord) ; it is why we worship Him , perform
kaimkaryams to Him and
derive bliss by such kaimkaryams .
He thus becomes
"Nammudai NammperumAL " because of
Your Sambhandham .
Oh Lakshmi !
Because of yourself being His PradhAna VisEshaNam
,
He is saluted in Sri
VishNu Sahsra Naamam as :
Sridha: SriSa:
SrInivAsa: Srinidhi: SrivibhAvana:
Sridhara : SrIkara: SrEya: SrImAn lOkathrayAsraya:
Because of this
VisEshaNam , Kaliyan introduces Ramaa Nruhari
(MaalOlan) as "
Nammudai Namm PerumAl ".
Lord RanganAtha is
generally referred to as Namm PerumAL .
He was presented by
Brahma DEvan to the Kings of IshvAku
dynasty in which Lord
Ramachandra was born . At AyOdhyA ,
Lord Raama chandra
worshipped Lord RanganAtha during
His Vibhava avathAram
as the son of King DasaraTa .
NrusimhAvathAram is
however earlier than RaamAvathAram
and Lord Raamachandran
worshipped Ahobila Narasimhan
and blessed us with the
Sthuthi of Nrusimha PanchAmrutham .
From this
extraordinarily beautiful SthOthram composeed by
none other than
Lord Raamachandra in front of MalOlan ,
we can conclude
why Kaliyan's visEsha Padha PrayOgam of
"Nammudai Namm PerumAL
" belongs to Lakshmi Narasimhan
alone . The detailed
write ups ( Parts I and II) on Nrusimha PanchAmrutha
SthOthram of Lord
Raamachandran can be accessed at :
Alli-mAthar pulha ninRa
Aayiram thOLan
****************************************************
Ahobila KshEthram is
saluted by Kaliyan as " Alli-maathar
pulha ninRa Aayiram
thOLan idam ".
Sarva Swamy
Narasimhan was praised by PrahlAdhan and was
pleased by that moving
sthuthi ; He banished then His anger and became
a Saantha, Soumya
Moorthy . Now MahA Lakshmi approached
and embraced Him . Out
of the joy from that embrace , Lord Narasimhan
grew thousand arms to
return that embrace and placed Senju Lakshmi
on His lap and became
MaalOlan . BhagavAn did not have thousand arms
when a joyous SithA
Piraatti embraced Him during RaamAvathAram ,
when he returned
victorious from the battle with 14,000 rAkshasAs .
In NrusimhAvathAram ,
When MahA Lakshmi ( AllimAthar) embraced
(pulha ) Him , He
developed thousand arms to hold Her tight and
became
aasritha vathsalan (
Pulha ninRa Aayiram thOLan) and stayed at Ahobilam
( Aayiram thOLan idam
ithuvAm) .
This Aayiram ThOludayAn
became Nammudai Namm PerumAl ,
when He jumped in
to the cupped palms of AdhivaNN SaThakOpa
Jeeyar to travel from
village to village to bless us with Pancha
SamskAram
and Bhara NyAsam . Thus
He has become Nammudaya Namm PerumAL.
He comes to us even if
we can not get to AhObilam . He comes with His
PaadukA SEvakar . That
is why He is our (Nammudai) VisEsha PerumAL .

In previous Pasurams ,
Kaliyan described the frightening sights
at the Ahobila dhivya
dEsam , which made it inaccessible to all
but hardy . From sights
, Kaliyan shifts now to the sounds as an
accomplished
multimedia artist
(Poet) . It is a windy , sandhyA kaalam at AhObilam hills .
There are the palm ,
Coconut
, Bamboo and Plantain trees with
the kind of finger-like
leaves that are easily agitated by the winds
to make a loud noise
. Added to these almost non-stop noise of
the wind driven ,
violent movements of these lafy trees , there are
two more frightening
sounds that a pilgrim experiences , which makes
him fearful and
agitated : First is the sound of the shattering of
the rocks under one's
feet from the upward growth of the strong
roots
of hardy trees like
goose berry . Those sounds are infrequent ,
unexpected
and loud.That makes the
pilgrim jump with fear. Second is the persistent
and rhythmic sound of
the suvar Kozhis ( crickets) chirping their wings
to create a loud mating
noise .That makes the pilgrims fear that they have
intruded
into an
eerie land and makes them want to retreat to a safer place
.
The combination of the
three , Kall udaippu oli - Pull ilai oli - silli
pakshi's
sill oli, join together
to give an other worldly experience to the pilgrim
as he seeks a safe
shelter for the night against the sound and sights
that he experiences as
he climbs up the hills of Ahobilam .
