SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Nappinnai had appeared just like You; - But even for the case of samsaaris, the way You perform is also a wonder. The way You saved Rudran from the curse of having the skull stuck to his palms. The parama upakAram (greatest help) that You had rendered to Rudran is described here. When AzhwAr enjoying KrishNAvathAram- why did he mention this incident now- is for the last verse line- ?nee vagutthalum maayamaakkinaay?. vERisaindha sekkarmEni neeRu aNindha punsadai keeRuthingaL vaitthavankai vaitthavan kabaalmisai ooRusenkuruthiyaal niRaittha kaaraNanthanai ERusenRa darththaveesa! pEsukoosa minRiyE. (42) Oh SarvEshwaranE! Supreme Lord! The One who went to the seven bulls and crushed the same (to marry Nappinnai PiraaTTi)! [You] for The One who likes to be different and do different [vERu isaindha]; the one with red body; wearing ashes as the ornament; On the matted locked hairs- placing the crescent moon; filled the skull that was stuck to his palm (due to the curse) with your blood from your dhivya mangaLa vigraham. Why did You do that? Please tell me without hiding from me. VeRu isaidha- In everything he would like to be different and do different- Rudran has red boy; wears matted locks and adorns the crescent moon therein; performs the samhAram (death) for all unlike others who would not dare do such a cruel act. He did not want his father BrahmA also to have five heads (like himself who is also five headed) and hence plucked one of the heads that got stuck to his palm [due to the curse from BrahmA]; Hence vERu isaindhu. Also He wears ashes all over his body and lives in the graveyard. When he wore the ash, matted locks to reduce the heat of the paapam (sin) and inspite of doing severe penance the brahmma hatthi dhOsham (of having killed one head) did not get cured. The sages and Devas assembled and took mercy on Rudran and said, ?go for begging with the kappalam (skull) as the vessel. If the skull gest filled you will get rid of the sin.?. He went everywhere begging and it did not at all fill even an inch inside the skull. Helpless Rudran suffered wandered everywhere and ultimately went to BadrikAshramam crying, ?kAnda kadalum malaiyEzhul ulagEzhum undatthukkakkARRA OO mugil vaNNA! Cried Rudran yearning for His dayA and mercy on him to save him from the paapam. Then, KANNA! You took mercy on Rudran and removed a small droplet of blood from your divine chest and filled the skull fully and broke open the skull from his palm saving him from most cruel paapam. How can one comprehend this maayam (mystery) of Yours ? You being a SarvEshwaran. Why should the skull get stuck to his palm? Why should he go begging for the same to be filled? And finally with Your blood? It exploded to pieces once it got filled with your blood. And till then, it did not. Why? In Youyr divine suddhta sathva aprAkrutha ThirumEni (divine body) where is the question of normal blood? And how did it come out? In every deed and in every query, the mystery remains unresolved and it is not possible for us to understand. You even forsake Your suffering and bore the pain to bring blood to fill the skull for saving Rudran due to your mahOpakAram. When such should be the attitude of even at the expense of our pain, we need to help others and you appear to ask Rudran: why did you let your father suffer and why did you remove the head- was your underlying statement. Sekkar mEni- red coloured body- may also mean red sky like body. It matches with his duty of samhAram. neeRu aNindha- wearing the ashes. It is mentioned in atharvasirassaaram [of Sri UttamUr Swamy]. Punsadai- due to great penance, the hairs have become matted and hence lots of lice and dandruff have formed- hence lowly sadai (matted locks); yERu seNru adarattha ISA- Says AzhwAr- the one who went and crushed seven bulls- For saving the one who did one brahmaahatthi- here is the one who has done seven Gohatthi (killing seven bulls)- scholars say jocularly. He [the Lord] is akilahEyaprathyaneekan- untouched by imperfections and nirdhOshakan. In order to show that to the world- You performed this wonderful mysterious deed perhaps and declared Your parathvam (supremacy). koosaminRi Pesu- If I declare my supremacy (Parathvam) people would get scared and would not approach me and hence I should not tell that- Do not think like that. Do not hide the Parathvam like what You did for the GopikAs. Sicne we know that already, you should not hide the same. WQqe know of Your unparalleled Supremacy. Do not feel shy that ?how can I talk of myself?. Even if others think so, I would not. Come on. Please tell me all.
