SrI: Dear SrI Sudarsana BhakthAs: We will continue with the rest of the Paasurams of ThiruvAimozhi 7.4 in this posting. TVM:7.4.6 ********* pOzhthu melintha punn sekkaril , vaanthisai soozhum yezhunthirap-punalA , malai keezthu piLantha singam otthathAl , Appan Aaazhthyuar seythasuraraik-kollumARE In this paasuram , the HiraNya samhAram is seen by Swamy NammazhwAr.HirNyan was like a mountain.Our Lord appeared like a ferocious and mighty lion that sat on the top of that mountain and tore it in to two pieces. The time when that it happened was the sandhyA kaalam . The blood from the torn body of huge Hiranyan for bhAgavathApachAram flowed like a red flood and heightened the red color of the sandhyA kaalam . Our Lord appeared instantly to save His ardent devotee, who had MahA VisvAsam in Him . As Eedu says, " anAdhi kAlam Bhagavath BhAgavatha vishaygaLilE paNNip-pOntha prAthikoolyam adaya arai kshaNatthilE anubhavitthu aRRapadi". HiraNyan had committed Bhagavath-BhAgavatha apachArams (prAthikoolyams) for aeons . All of that , the Lord made HiraNyan pay in half a second and destroyed HiraNyan." The divine Father, the Father of ALL , came and achieved the victory and served His devotee " in that time of need . AzhwAr hails that victory in this paasuram. TVM: 7.4.7 ********** AzhwAr is now presented with the Sevai of Vijaya Raaghavan destroying the assemblies of RaakshasAs at Lankai and displaying His unmatched valour: mARu niRaitthu iraikkum sarangaL, ina nooRu piNam malai pOl puraLa , kadal aaRu madutthu uthirap-punalA, Appan neeRu pada Ilankai seRRa nErE The powerful arrows of VeerarAghavan are whizzing in a stream from all directions ; the mountains of corpses of slain asurAs piled up in the battle field. Rivers of blood from the slain asurAs flew like rivers and reached th ocean and made it red.Lanka was reduced to ashes from the fiery arrows of the Lord. Swamy NammAzhwAr hails this majestic and righteous victory of Lord Raamachandra in the battle field of LankA . TVM 7.4.8 ********** Swamy NammAzhwAr is blessed next with the sevai of Lord in His KrishNAvathAram battling BaaNAsuran. Lord KrishnA cut off all but four arms of the 1000 armed asuran , chased away Agni, Sivan and SubrahmaNyan , who came to the rescue of their friend , BaanAsuran. Swamy NammAzhwAr sees the friends of BaaNAsuran running from the battle field as a result of their inability to stand up to the power of KrishNA's weapons . Swamy NammAzhwAr describes BhANan as the one , who deviated from righteousness (nEr sari BaaNan) and shows us the flight of the freinds of BaaNan from the battle field ( MukkaNN moorthy nEr sarinthAn kaNDeer). They fell at the feet of KaNNan and protected themseleves and their client (BaaNan) and grew VishNu Bhakthi in BaaNan and thus saved him . AzhwAr hails the victory of Lord KrishNa in this paasuram . TVM 7.4.9 ********** So far through 8 paasurams , AzhwAr hailed the Aasritha RakshaNam of the Lord and the valor He showed during those occasions. In the ninth paasuram , AzhwAr salutes the Srushti MahAthmyam of the Lord as Sarva SwAmi. With the sheer power of His sankalpam , our Lord created the world through samashti srushti. Vyashti srushti followed and Brahma Devan was created now to carry on the avAnthara srushti every day during his term of office. anRu maNN neererikAl viNN malai mudhal anRu sudar iraNDu piRavum , pinnum anRu mazhai uyir dEvum maRRum , Appan anRu mudhal ulaham seythathumE Ulaham seytha samAcharatthai AzhwAr inghu vivarikkirAr. Appan ( Sarva Swamy) created all (Earth, Water, Fire, wind , Sky , Mountains , the Sun and the Moon and Jeevan , dEvAs and the rest) at a time , when none existed with the sheer power of His sankalpam. Brahma took over form there with the help of vedic instructions given by the Lord and continued with Vyashti srushti. TVM: 7.4.10 ************ mEy nirai keezh puha maa puraLa , sunai vaai niRai neer piLIric-choriya, ina aanirai paadi-angE-odunga , Appan thee mazhai kAtthuk-kunRamedutthAnE Now , AzhwAr has the vision of the Lord as Govardhana Giridharan. At the time of the fury of IndhrA , which led to his sending ferocious and destructive hails over AaypAdi, Our Lord lifted the Govardhana hill and held it with His little finger as an umbrella and protected the citizens of AaypAdi and all the calves and cows . The Sarva Swamy protcted the AaypAdi and its population from the thunderous rains sent by Indhra and destroyed the arrogance of Indhran. What a feat it was says Swamy NammazhwAr after being blessed with the sEvai of Govardhana GiridhAri. TVM 7.4.11 *********** kunRameduttha PirAnadi yArodum onRi ninRa SathakOpanurai seyal nanRi punaintha OrAyoratthuLLivai venRi tarum patthum mEvik-kaRppArkkE Swamy NammazhwAr instructs us here through this Phala sruthi Paasuram that any one , who masters this decad will be blessed with victory in all their endeavours by Appan ( sarvaasrayaNeeya Swami). AzhwAr states that he had attained a state of Tanmayathvam ( OnRi ninRa SaThakOpan) with the Lord over the sevais illustrating Appan's Vijaya SrI and instructs us that the Sarva Sulabha aasritha rakshakan will bless us with victory (venRi tarum) in all their endeavours , when they master this decad of Paasurams celebrating the Appan's aasritha rakshaNam .
