srImathE rAmAnujAya namaha Tiruppavai - Pasuram 4 : nAmA 10 & 11 (oozhi mudhalvan) (padmanabhan) aazhi mazhaik kaNNaa! onRu nee kai karavEl aazhiyuL pukku mugandhu kodu aarththERi oozhi mudhalvan uruvam pOl mey kaRuththu pAzhiy am thOLudai paRpanaaban kaiyil aazhi pOl minni valamburi pOl ninRadhirndhu thaazhaadhE saarngam udhaiththa saramazhai pOl vaazha ulaginil peydhidaay * naangaLum maargazhi neeraada magizhndhElOr empAvAi. In this pasuram 4, AndAL glorifies two nAmAs : oozhi mudhalvan and padmanabhan. Oozhi represents entire prapancham the leela
vibuthi viz. 7 lokams starting from bhu (our earth) until satya lokam (abode of
brahma) and 7 lokams below our earth called rakshasa lokam and the entire
celestial planets. For this entire oozhi, he is mudhalvan, the first and
primodal. "EshO ha vai nArAyana asit, na brahma, na isanaha" Swamy
Nammazhwar in his tiruvAimozhi "onrum devum ulagum uyirum yadum illa anRu,
nAnmugan thaNodu devar ulagodu uyir padaithAn". Here AndAL praises his
gunA of Jagat karana bhoothan. Is this can be considered as a guNam of the
Lord. This is leela of the Lord and hence aptly called leela
vibuthi.
The next nAmA is padmanAbhan. He is
holding the entire jagat in his nabhi in the form of lotus, giving us the
assurance that he is the protector or jagat rakshakan.
The next nAmA 12 appears in pasuram 5 -
"mAyan", which is his inherent gunA. (to be continued)
