There are lots of instances where Sriyapthi has taken different forms to
protect a soul. Infact, he also has come down to live in Divya Desams in
various forms accepting the request of bhaktas. He is the one who shows
complete motherly nature to all the souls. Initially we saw that even a
mother cannot protect a soul. That instance refers to parental nature that
leads one in the wrong direction.
kazhuthilE Olai kattikkondu thoodhu pOyum
He has infact indulged in lowly activities to just protect his bhakta. He
went as a messenger for Panadavas by wearing the garland with olai. His
kalyana gunam is more visible in the fact that He resides as Panda Dhoothan
in a Divya Desam for current day bhaktas.
puruvam neritha idathilE thErai nadAthiyum mArpilE anbEtrum sAvAmal nOkkiyum
He did not stop with this act. He won the battle for pandavas just by
driving the chariot. Pandavas did not win the battle by their valour. He
protect Arjuna from the rain of arrows by accepting them on his body. Again
he shows his kalyana gunam with the same Thirumukhamandalm, as Parthasarathy
in ThiruvallikkEni Divya Desam. He satood by his promise of not taking the
weapon in his hand before the battle. Thirumangai Azhwar refers to this in
his pasuram as..
paRRalar veeyak kOlkaiyil koNdu
paartthanRan thErmunnNin Raanai,
siRRavai paNiyaal mudithuRanN dhaanaith
thiruvallik kENikkaN dEnE (Periya Thirumozhi 2.3.1)
Krishna also protected Arjuna from Agni asthram by making him get down the
chariot first. Initially, Arjuna was hesitant to get down first, but Krishna
requested him to get down.
sethArai meettum
He also protected the pandavas from yaksha and broght them back alive after
they had consumed poisonous water. In other instance, Krishna brought back
the son of his guru Sandipini from the clutches of an asura. This is
referred to by Thirumangai Azhwar in his pasurams on Srirangam Perumal...

aNipo zhilthiru varangaththam maanE (PTM 5.8.7)
Azhwar refers to another instance where Krishna borught back the newborn
babies of a rishi from Thayar in Paramapadam. Thayar had took those babies
to just make Krishna come to paramapadam and show some of his leela.
vEtha vaaymozhi yanthaNa Nnoruvan

His very name, Narayana refers to the fact that he is the one from whom
everything arises and he is the one who sustains and protects us all. Hence,
this relationship is similar to that of a baby's relationship with its
mother's womb.
Swamy PL continues with Akinchanyatvam and hence shows us that Narayana is
the one and only protector for all the souls. We will look at that in the
next posting, which will be the concluding one.
