SrI:
Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :
Let us enjoy the deep Upanishdhic and SampradhAya
Vishayams housed in the second Paasuram :
270. Aru-MaRayai Oozhi tanil kAtthAr vanthAr
athu tannai anRu Ayanukku aLitthAr vanthAr
dharuma vazhi azhiyAmal kAppAr vanthAr
ThAmarayALUdan ilangum Taathai vanthAr
ThriuvurayAyAit-Thaamm PoruLAi nirpAr vanthAr
ThiruvaruLAl sezhum kalaikaL tanthAr vanthAr
maruvalarkku mayakku uraikkum MaayOr VanthAr
vAnn yERa vazhi tanthAr vanthAr thAmE
The Rakshathvam ( protective aspect ) of the Lord
echoed in the AkAram of PraNavam is elaborated in this
Paasuram .
Rahasyathraya SlOkam reminding us of the Lordship of SrIman
NaarAyaNa-VaradarAjan in Rakshakathvam has to be reflected upon
in the context of this second Paasuram:
thrANE Swamithvam ouchithyam nyAsAdhyA: sahakAriNa:
pradhAna hEthu: svAtantrya-visishtA karuNA vibhO:
(meaning ): It is befitting for Him to be the Master in protecting
ChEthanams . Prapatthi and the like are the saha-kAris ( udhavik-
kAraNangaL). The main kaaraNam(PradhAna hEthu) however is
our Lord's dayA intertwined with His SvAtantryam ( Independence ,
unquestioned Lordship).
Let us now summarize the meaning of the second Thiruchinna Maalai Paasuram
************************************************************
Lord VaradarAjan is the Supreme Being , who protected
the VedAs during the time of MahA PraLayam from destruction
and performed upadEsam on them for Brahma Devan duirng
the time of Naimitthika Srushti . He is the One , who protected
the dharma mArgam from destruction and took many avathArams
to provide protection to the SanAthana dharmam . He is never ever
seperated from Periya PirAtti ( PerumdEvi ThAyAr) and stands
as arTa savaroopam , while His divine consort stays as Sabdha
Svaroopam (Vaak) . He is the Lord , who blessed the Maharishis
to create dharma Saasthrams , IthihAsams and PurANams as
UpabrahmaNams to elaborate on and clarify the meanings of the VedAs.
He is the powerful Lord , who banishes NaasthikAs and Kudhrushtis
(avaidhikAs) to different kinds of narakams after enchanting them
with mohana Saasthrams . He is the benovolent krupA Saagaram ,
who revealed Bhakthi Yogam and Prapatthi yOgam as the means for
Moksham through His Saasthrams. Our Lord of such Vaibhavam as
a protector of VedAs , dharma mArgam , VaidhikAs has now
arrived amidst us as inferred from the SunAdham of His Thirucchinnam.
Special Notes on individual Lines:
***************************
Line 1: " aru-marayai Oozhi tanil kAtthAr vanthAr"
aru-maRai refers to the precious and scared VedAs.
These precious Veda mantrams are essential for the creation
of the world with its multifarious chEthanams and achEthanams
by Brahma DEvan according to srushti kramam. . When the VedAs
were are exposed to danger during PrAkrutha PraLaya Kaalam ,
the time during which the entire world reaches layam in ParamAthmA ,
our Lord protects the Vedams for the benefit of BrahmA during the time of
Naimitthika Srushti .There are four kinds of PraLayam ( Naimitthikam ,
PrAkrutham , Aadhyanthikam and Nithyam).The PrAkrutha PraLayam is
the one at the end of the life of BrahmA , when the charAcharams and
Pancha BhUthams attain layam inside ParamAthmA . Srushti is of
three kinds: PrAkrutha Srushti , Naimitthika Srushti and Nithya Srushti .
The Srushti Kaaryam done by the Lord using Moola Prakruthi to
create Mahath, ahankAram and related tatthvams is PrAkrutha Srushti .
At the end of BrahmA's day , there is a praLayam after which Srushti
starts and that Srushti is Naimitthika Srushti . VedAs are needed then
by Brahma Devan for carrying out his assigned responsibilities of
creation and the Lord presents the VedAs to Brahma DEvan
for enabling Srushti.
There are times when BrahmA loses the VedAs (due to carelessnes
to asurAs ) and the Lord goes after the asuras , destroys them and
brings the VedAs back and instructs Brahman again in the form of
a Hamsam. This is the vaibhavam of "Oozhi tanil aru-maRayai kAkkum
Vaibhavam " saluted in the first line.
Line 2: Athu tannai Ayanukku anRu aLitthAr vanthAr " .This refers to
Lord VaradarAjan blessing Brahma dEvan with the VedAs during
the time of Naimitthika PraLayam . The glories of the Lord as the Protector
of the VedAs , Creator and the Dissolver of the World is saluted by
Sage ParAsarar in VishNu PurANam:
Sa yEva Srujya: Sa yEva Sarga karthA
sa yEva pAtthayathi cha Sa yEva PaalyathE cha
BrahmAdhyavasTAbhi: asEsha Moorthy
Vishnu : Varishta: VARADHO VarENya:
He enters in to BrahmA (anupravEsam) and facilitates
the creation according to the rules of the Lord's VedAs.
Line 3: " Dharuma Vazhi azhiyAmal KaappAr vanthAr ":
Our Lord protects the way of SanAthana Dharmam
through His many avathArams , when Dharma mArgam
is threatened ( Dharma samsTApanArtthAya sambhavAmi
yugE yugE ).At the end of Kali yugam , He incarnates as
Kalki and destroys all avaidhikAs and adharmikAs and starts
the cycle of the four Yugams once again .
Line 4: " ThaamarayALUdan ilangum ThAthai vanthAr" :
The SarvalOka SaraNyan , who is the Father of the entire
universe , who shines with MahA Lakshmi in an inseperable
manner has arrived now in our midst to the accompaniment of
Thirucchinna oli. They are a unique couple (MiTunam with joint
Parathvam/Supermacy) and they are never seperated from each
other as understood from the VishNu PurANa sLokam :
NithyaivEshA JaganmAthA VishNO : SriranapAyini
YathA SarvagathO VishNu: TaTaivEyam DhvijOtthama
She is the eternal , Mother of the Universe , the auspicousness
Of VishNU and is never ever seperated from Her Lord .
In the same manner as VishNu is pervasive in every object of
creation , She is also seen there together with Him . That is the Tathvam
of the Lord being resplendent with the lotus lady ( ThAmarayAL).
This Sarva RakshaNa DhIkshithan , SrIman NaarAyaNan is hailed
as the Rakshakan accompanied by His Divine Consort , MahA Lakshmi
in all siddhAnthams:
LakshmyA Saha HrusheekEsO DEvyA KaaruNyaroopayA
Rakshaka: SarvasiddhAnthE VedAthapi cha geeyathE
Line 5: " ThruvurayAyAi Thaamm PoruLAyAi niRppAr VanthAr"
Our Lord and His DEvi are like the union of arTam and Vaak.
Our Lord is the arTa svaroopan, while MahA Lakshmi stands
as the Sabdha Svaroopi ( arTO VishNu: iyam VaaNi according to
VishNu PurANam ).
Line 6: " ThiruvaruLAl sezhum KalaikaL tanthAr vanthAr": Our Lord
is Parama DayALu and is propelled by His KrupA to bless the Maha Rishis
like ParaasarA , VyAsa with the nourishing Dharma Saasthrams , IthihAsams
and PurANams as UpabrahmaNams to intrepret/comprehend the meaning of Veda
Manthrams (MaRais) .
Line 7: " Maruvalarkku Mayakku uraikkum MaayOr VanthAr" :
For those , who are NaasthikAs and avaidhikAs , Our mysterious
Lord creates enchanting Saasthrams that result in the practioner
ending up in narakams like LavaNam ( for those who put down
and deny Vedams as PramANams ). He is Maayavan and creates
the tantalizingly tempting false Saasthrams for the avaidhikAs that
lands them in cruel narakams , where they repent and return to earth
in different bodys to enjoy their karma phalans.
As MaayA Mohanan , he induces PaashaNdis through special
ukthis ( utterances) to follow avaidhika mathams like Bouddham,
Jainam and leads them on to their own demise.
Line 8: " VaanERa Vazhi TanthAr vanthAr thAmE "
Our Lord through His VarAha , Raama and KrishNAvathAra
charama slOkams , showed us the Parama Padha SopAnam or
the path to ascend to Mosham via archirAdhi mArgam. That path
(means) is the SaraNAgathy mArgam .This path to SrI Vaikuntam
is elaborated in the 21st chapter of SrImadh Rahasya Thraya Saaram
( Gathi VisEshaadhikAram) and PhalAdhyAyam of SrI BhAshyam
Lord VaradarAjan 's arrival in our midst of His BHakthAs
is announced by the sweet sound of His Thirucchinnam .
