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 .
