Dear Sri Rajagopalan swami,
Sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr has also referred to the
episode of 'GantA karnan' in one of
the eighteen works-= thathva
sEkaram=
The discussion is regarding shivA wanting a boon
from Lord krshNA to obtain a boon from himself. Accordingly, sri krishNA
approahed shivA and requested for a child. shivA excalimed "lo! here is the
creator of all the worlds and He is asking for a child" .
'kaLvA! emmaiyum
Ezhulagum nin-uLLEa thORriya iRaiva" enRu veL yEARAn..." thiru voi
mozhi.
The discussion now veers around that is not a
person seeking a boon is subject to kArmic effects. For this the episode of
'GantA karnan' is referred. On return from meeting shiva and obtaining the boon,
sri krshNA grants salvation to 'GantA karnan' . When
somebody is able to grant mOksham, how can he be subject to kArmic effect is the
logic raised. The point here is that the Lord has obtained the boon just to
fulfill the assurance given to shivA earlier.
