Nanmathi VAindha NallOrgalE,
Dasasya Vigyapanam. It may be recalled that Nrisimha appeared from the pillar the moment the asura king hit it. Was the instant Avathara to protect his boy devotee Prahladha or to tear to pieces his demonic father? Neither.When Prahladha was thrown into the sea, pushed down the hills, given poison, trampled by elephants, put into the raging fire, or attacked by fierce snakes, though the boy devotee was protected by Sriman Narayana's sankalpa, the Lord himself did not appear on the scene. But surely he manifested at the exact moment when Hiranyaksha smashed the pillar.Why? The reason (given by our elders) is The Lord appeared to keep up the word of His boy devotee who said The Lord is omnipresent (Engumulan Kannan). This one illustration is enough to prove Who the Supreme Being is. Again When Gajendra wailed in agony and called "Aadhimoolame" in a distress signal, Who but Sriman Narayana rushed (dragging even his Vahana Garuda) to the rescue of that elephant king. Aadhimoolame is a term which does not specifically refer to any deity Vishnu, Siva, Brahma or Indra. Because the origin or the original source and cause (Adhimoolam) applied to Sri Maha Vishnu only ie., Sriman Narayana, He alone by virtue of His omnipotency in all respects spontaneously responded to the agonising call of his animal devotee who desired to offer a lotus flower in all sincerety in spite of the torure inflicted by the clutching crocodile. Other deities did not respond at all and were inwardly praising the Supreme Being who went to the rescue of that animal with such a great compassion. All our Acharyas and Azhwars repeatedly glorify the supremacy of Sriman Narayana by quoting these two episodes. Can there still be doubt in the minds of Bhagavathas? Dasan Devanathan
