Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs : Let us continue our enjoyment of 
the NINTH Paasuram of Kaliyan on AhobilaKshEthra Naathan ,
Sri Lakshmi Narsimhan . 
nallai nenjE naamm thozhuthum nammudaya namperumAL
    alli mAthar pulha ninRa aayiram thOLan-idam
nelli malhik-kalludaippap-pul ilai aarntu atharvaay 
    silli sill yenRu oll aRAtha SingavEL KunramE 
 
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 .
 
Third and the Fourth Lines of the Ninth Paasuram
****************************************************************
nelli malhik-kalludaippa pullilai aarnthu atharvAy
silli sillenRu oll aRAtha SingavEL KunRamE
 
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  .
