                         Shri :
        Shri Sadagopan Than- Tamil Nool Vazhiya
         Shri Kaarimaaran Thiruvadikalae Saranam

Dear Kasturi Rangan Swamin


Adiyaen's Pranams.

    Adiyaen is surprised/embarrassed to know new things by reading 
your mail.whatsoever it be, for us to get rid of this birth ,death 
cycle, we approach our almighty.

Tamil(Dravidian) people's favorite poet Thiruvalluvar also , 
i think , may be a Shri Vaishnavite. here is a clip.

Vendunkaal vendum Piravaamai matrathu
vendaamai venda varum.

See What our beloved kaarimaaran ji says: ( complimented)
        Atrathu Patrenil Utrathu Veedu Uyir (Ref 1.2.X)

        Veedumin Mutravum Veedu seithu Veedu udaiyaanukku....

Our Shri Vishnu sahasranamama is also saying "sharabha story "
"Atula sharabho bheema sama yajno havir Hari:"

Reference : www.mypurohith.com/Rituals/vishnusahasranaamam[0-75].asp
When i try to go the word by word meaning,
They say that Shiva took the form of eight legged Creature(like a 
spider man) to kill lion. Let Lord Shiva be a Spider man/Ape man. 
That is his business.

ADIYAEN IS  concerned of OUR almighty.

Howsoever  the meaning of Sarabha (= Sara + bha ) refers as 
sara means that which is perishable. all finite substance/entities 
are subject to annihilation. so sarabha here refers to He who  
dwells and shines forth in us. (that is our almighty).
complimenting the Balamurali krishna's carnatic song.
 "Anthari ki Shri hari anthar-aathmaa !!! Brahmam okka-dey para-
brahmam.."
 
Thanks for bringing this story. 

 
ADIYAEN

    THONDAR THONDAR THONDAN SADAGOPAN DAASAN.

"Kodumaa vinaiyaen avan adiyaar adiyae koodum ithu vallaal
 Vidumaaru - yenpathaen  ANTHO VIYAN MOO-VULAGU PERINUMAE"
