SrIH SrImate raângarAmAnuja MahA deSikAya namaH tiruppArthanpaLLi (Periya tirumozhi 4.8) - tirunAngUr divyadeSam (Please set your encoding to Unicode UTF-8) SrImad ANDavan tiruvaDi, kalyANi kRshNamAcAri ============================================================== tiruppArthanpaLLi - Periya tirumozhi 4.8.2: kanjan viTTa vencinatta kaLiRaDartta kALai enRum vanjamEvi vanda pEyin uyirai uNDa mAyan enRum SencolALar nIDu nAngai dEvadEvan enRenRodi panciyanna mellaDiyAL pArthanpaLLi pADuvALE A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan: The elephant, kuvalyApIDam, comes charging furiously, being deployed by the evil kamsan to kill kaNNan. Even if the elephant was not sent by kamsan, the elephant would have come barging at anyone it came across because of its condition of madness. One cannot expect to escape the evil kamsan who sent the elephant; nor can one expect to get away from the danger presented by the infatuated elephant. AzhvAr is saying, âHe is the youth that vanquished that kind of an elephantâ. pUtanA was a demon to start with. And she came with the deceitful intent of killing kaNNan and took the form of a mother to feed poison to Him. Being one who performs astonishing feats, He killed her by sucking her life out of her. In this pASuram, the mother of parakAla nAyaki says that her daughter is in a sad state where she is blabbering about all His phenomenal accomplishments. Those who live in that place are all well-versed; they always speak the truth ; they never lie. Thinking that He should be like them, He declared, âI shall never leave youâ and He lives eternally in nAngUr divya dEsam. The nAyaki (parakAla) remembers that promise of His, and sings of Him as the leader of nitya sUri-s and that He resides in pArthanpaLLi. Her mother says, âMy daughter has very soft feet that feel like delicate cotton. Instead of His longing for her tender feet, she is the one who is prattling about Himâ. B. SrI PVP: My daughter does not realize her greatness as one of very tender nature, and instead, is talking about how kaNNan astonishingly vanquished His enemies. She is constantly chattering about His being held in high esteem by the nitya sUri-s, and about His place â pArthanpaLLi. kanjan viTTa vencinatta kaLiRaDartta kALai enRum â He killed the mad elephant, kuvalayApIDam sent by kamsan; thinking about that, AzhvAr is indulging again in kRshNAvatAram. The elephant was the one that was ordered by kamsan who is evil-natured. The elephant does not need anyone to order it to destroy whatever it encounters; the elephant itself is a mad one and will charge on the whole world; both kamsanâs demoniac nature and the frenzied nature of the elephant are such that no one can escape from either. But kaNNan, who had not even grown to a mature age, killed the elephant in His very young age. vanjamEvi vanda pEyin uyirai uNDa mAyan enRum â pUtanai was naturally demoniac by birth. On top of it, she came with the explicit objective of killing Him; but He took away her life miraculously, even though He was only a child at that time. She came with the pretext of giving Him poisonous milk, and He fulfilled that wish and sucked her life out in the process. SencolALar nIDu nAngai dEvadEvan enRenRodi â the folks in this place speak nothing but the truth. So, emperumAn, who lives in this place should also take up the same nature, right! He had said to her earlier : âI will not leave youâ ; now, He cannot leave her in the presence of these truthful folks. That is a big consolation for my daughter. She sings about Him as One who lives in tirunAngUr where everyone speaks the truth ; She also sings of Him as the deva of all the deva-s (âayarvarum amarargaL adhipatiâ â tiruvAimozhi 1.1.1). panciyanna mellaDiyAL pArthanpaLLi pADuvALE â My daughter is gifted with very tender feet like soft cotton. One would expect that He should be pining for those soft feet ; but instead, she is the one who is longing for Him, and singing about His place of residence - pArthanpaLLi. C. SrI UV: SencolALar nIDu nAngai â those well versed in vedams had their tall houses in long rows in that place. panciyanna mellaDiyAL â tiruttAyAr â the mother of nAyaki, is concerned that her daughter with very tender feet is leaving for pArthanpaLLi. D. SrI PBA: Can the help provided by my husband, namely, the killing of kamsanâs elephant, be praised just once? If He had not done that, the whole world would have suffered. Is it an ordinary feat to do battle with a wild elephant and vanquish the same? This feat was accomplished when He was at least a few years old. Do you know His great achievement when He was lying in His toTTil â crib? In the pretext of drinking milk from her, He wonderfully sucked her life out. ======== End of periya tirumozhi 4.8.2 on tiruppArthanpaLLi To be continued â.. ------------------------------------ Oppiliappan Koil Varadachari Sadagopan http://www.sadagopan.org Yahoo!
