Fire In the Forest,
Run-Run-Run
Once when Sri krshNA and arjuna were
playing, agni requested the Almighty for food. Sri krshNA directed agni to
devour the forest -kANDA vanam/kANdAva vanam.
This kANdA vanam was under the
jurisdiction of indhiran and nobody was able to destroy this
forest.
as the agni was given powers from
the Lord , indhiran was not able to do anything but witness the proceedings
mutely.
Sri krshNA wanted to vanquish the demons
and He utilised agni appositely for this purpose. The fact that the forest
which was under the reign of indhiran was consumed by flames in front of him is
highlighted in the words
"amararku araiyan adhu
kaNDu niRka.."
"kANDA vanam enbadhOAr kADu,
amarakku arayan adhu kaNdu niRka,
munEa, mUndAr, azhal vuNNa
munindhadhuvum..." Periya Thirumozhi 2-4-2;
The Lord's power of sustenance and
destroyal through fire.The force behind the fire being our beloved is reiterated
by sri thirumangai mannan
"kANdavathai thE mUTTi vittAnai" 6-8-7 of periya
thiru-mozhi.
