Supremacy
EmperumAn's Supremacy is
highlighted in several ways. We observe it from His valor, His
greatness. Sometimes it is established through vedic verses. It is
from idhihAsam-s otherwise.It is from the manner of creation,
sometimes.
Sri PeriyAzvAr summed up this by
going in ascending order of greatness from the tortoise to the Greatest
EmpeurmAn.
The Ganges, which flows from
the himalayas through the northern and eastern part of india under various
names, was brought down by bhagErathan from Shivaperuman's head.
When EmperumAn measured the worlds
one Divine feet reached the upper worlds -(en mathiyum
kadanthu.. appAl mikku) immediately BrahmA worshipped him
by pouring water on the feet and
the Sri PAdha thErtrham was taken by
SivaperumAn in his head and then the this was brought down
to earth.( in fact that is why AzvAr mentions
that SivaperumAn's hairlock as
nalan thigazh sadai-nalan thigazh sadiayAn mudik konRai
malarum nAraNan pAdath thuzhAzh4-7-2 of PeriyAzvAr
Thirumozhi)
Sri Velukkudi Varadachari svAmi
used to often say Quote: 'Decide yourself. who is supreme? The one
doing the worhsip. The one taking the SrI pAdha Therhtam on his head or the one
who is the recipient of all the obeisance?
While describing the antecedent of
Ganges, PeriyAzAr succinctly underlines the greatness of EmperumAn - a unique
way of expressing Supremacy
