SrI: Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs : Let us focus today on the ninth Paasuram of Thirucchinna Maalai ( Paasuram 277 of Desika Prabhandham ) . It is a glorious tribute to Lord's avathAram as SrI KrishNa , who blessed us with the Charama SlOkam for our ujjeevanam( upliftment) . In the previous posting , the Lord's role as PaaNdava DhUthan , as PaarthasAraTy , as the One who performed GeethOpadEsam and blessed us with Charama slOkam and gave abhaya pradhAnam to SamsAris were covered . The Paasurams for PaaNDavar DhUthan and ThiruvallikkENi dhivya dEsams as well as the aruLiccheyalkaLs for Pancha KrishNa kdhEthrams have to be enjoyed in this context . In this Desika Prabhandha Paasuram , PoothanA SamhAram , destruction of the wrestlers in the court of Kamsan , the vadham of Kamsan , BhANAsura garva Bhangam , granting of Moksham for offending SisupAlan and protection of the vow of PaanchAli ( Droupathi) as well as His innumerable upakArams for the PaaNDavAs are covered . This covers the content of many chapters of MahA BhAratham and the Dasama Skandham of SrImadh BhAgavatham . 277. Vanjanai sey Poothanayai mAytthAr vanthAr Mallar madha-kari mALa malainthAr vanthAr Kanjanaip-pOr kadumchinatthAl kaDinthAr vanthAr kaNNUthal munn VaaNan thOL kazhitthAr vanthAr vemm soll tara veedu kodutthu uhanthAr vanthAr vilakku illA vazhi nadattha virainthAr vanthAr Panchavarai pallvahayum kAtthAr vanthAr PaanchAli kuzhal muditthAr vanthAr Line 1: " Vanchanai sey Poothanayai MaaytthAr vanthAr" : Lord VaradarAja is the One who sucked the life out of the raakshasi , Poothanai, who took on the deceitful role as a mother & a wet nurse to destroy the infant KrishNa .She tried to cheat KrishNa and pretended to serve as His caring Mother , who wanted to feed Him with the poisonous milk from her breasts . Our Lord obliged to be fed and during that process sucked the life out of Poothanai . The reference is to "pEy mulaittala nanjuNDa PiLLai " /PoothanA Naasakan ( Periya Thirumozhi:7.10.4, ThirukkaNNamangai Paasuram ). Line 2. " Mallar madha-kari maaLa malainthAr vanthAr " The Lord who killed the mighty wrestlers and the angry court elephant of Kamsan ( KuvalayApeetam ) at Vada Mathurai is saluted here . Krishna accompanied by BalarAma arrived at the wrestling arena to watch the wrestling match between the wrestlers of KamsA's court. At the entrance of this arena , Kamsan had placed his royal elephant in rut to attack KrishNa and His brother. The elephant controller ordered the elephant to charge at KrishNa to kill the Lord of the Universe. KrsihNa fooled the attacking elephant in to making many missteps , tired it out and killed it with a blow of His palm and pulled its tusk and hit it to put an end to its suffering ( Srimath BhAgavatham: 10.43) . Next , KrishNa was challenged by the mighty wrestlers of KamsA's court to fight them .The combat between the boyish KrishNa and the seasoned strong men (wrestlers) looked uneven for the onlookers. Our Lord accepted their ( ChaNura and Mushtika ) challenge and crushed their joints with thunderbolt like punches and destroyed them. 3. Line 3: " Kanchanaip-pOr kadum sinathAl kadinthAr vanthAr" After the destruction of the royal elephant and the wrestlers , the next in line for the Lord's anger was His offending uncle : Kamsan .He lightened Himself and flew at Kamsan seated at His high throne and grabbed Kamsan like Garudan seizing a Serpent ( yaTOragam Taarkshyasutha: prasahya: BhAgavatham 10.44.36). Our Lord threw Kamsa from his high seat in to the arena and killed him .The mighty anger of KrishNa over the many apachArams of Kamsan is saluted by Swamy Desikan as "Kadum Chinam " here. 4. Line 4: " KaNN nudhal munn VaaNan thOl kazhitthAr vanthAr" The reference here is to the humiliation of BhANAsuran right in front of the eyes of his protector , Rudra Sivan ( SrImath BhAgavatham:10.62 & 63). Siva fought on the side of BaaNan and was chased away from the battle field by the mighty KrishNa. Rudra saluted the Lord as His Master and offered SaraNAgathy to the Lord of the universe . Rudra's SaraNAgathy words are: " Brahma and I and other DevAs and sages , who have attained purity of mind by Thy grace , all of us have made total surrender to Thee , the Soul of our Souls , the dearest of the dear and our Lord and Master" ( BhAgavatham: 10.63.43).Our Lord accepted Rudran's SaraNAgathy and spared the life of the client of Rudran ( BaaNan) and spared his life , while cutting off all but four of his thousand shoulders to put down the asuran's pride. Line 5: " Vemm soll tara veedu kodutthu uhanthAr vanthAr" Sisupaala Vadham and granting of Moksham to him by the Lord is alluded to here ( BhAgavatham: 10.74). SishupAla was a sworn enemy of the Lord. During Raajasooya Yaagam , King Yudhishtra elected to perform the Agrapooja for KrishNa . SisupAla challenged that choice and put KrishNa down and mocked at KrishNa's qualifications .Bhagavan KrishNa could not put up with the arrogance of SisupAla and used His chakram to cut off latter's head .Now a jyOthi rose from the fallen body of SisupAla and reached KrishNa's sacred feet .SisupAlA's constant thinking of the Lord even if it was in the mode of Him as his (SisupAlan's) enemy , SisupAla got Moksham from BhagavAn KrishNa . Line 6: "Vilakku illA vazhi nadattha viraindAr avnthAr" " Vilakku illA vazhi " means the archirAdhi Maargam without any obstacles. Our Lord is the One , who hastens to take the Muktha Jeevan on this ArchirAdhi Maargam to SrI Vaikuntam . Line 7: " Panchavaraip-palavahayum kAtthAr vanthAr" " Panchavar " is Pancha PaaNDavar . Our Lord KrishNa protected the PaaNdavAs in many , many ways from all the dangers that they faced from DuryOdhana and his ill meaning brothers . Line 8: " PaanchAli kuzhal muditthAr vanthAr ThAme" When Droupathi was humiliated at DuryOdhana's court and an attempt to disrobe her in front of her husbands was made , Bhagavan KrishNa came to her rescue and protected her. At that time , Droupathi untied her hair and vowed that she will not tie it back until DuryOdhana and his brothers were killed . BhagavAn KrishNa empowered the Pancha PaaNDavAs to destroy the DuryOdhana , his brothers and all who fought on his behalf. After that , Droupathi tied her hair back . Thus , Lord VaradarAjan , who during His KrishNAvathAram protected Pancha PaaNdavas , Droupathi and their families from all the harms caused by DuryOdhanan and his brothers . The Lord of such Vaibhavam has now appeared amidst us to the accompaniment of the Thirucchinna SunAdham .
