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 .

In the next set of postings , adiyEn would cover
the meanings of the individual slOkams of
SrI Sudarsana Sathakam of SrI Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar
following the commentary of SrI U.Ve.SthalasayanathuRaivAr
Swamy of BrundhAraNya KshEthram.
