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 .
