You hear the person of Lord Ranganatha on You on all His peregrinations. What is striking is that the same Lord wished, so to say, to reverse the role and bear You even on Your walks! So he put mother Earth in between; took the forms, namely, the pivotal base Koorma, Adisesha, the eight cardinal direction-elephants, the principal mountains-all being the Lord (as per the maxim 'Sarvam Vishnumayam Jagat') and bore all these and You too! May I be enabled to bear You on my head! Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 910 1. UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Like You bear Him on Your back duirng Your Lord's journeys, He bears You at other times in the guise of bearing BhUmi DEvi. He takes the form of earth-holding tortoise (AadhAra Koormam), AadhisEsha, the elephants of the eight directions, Kula parvathams et al. May I have the blessings of carrying You , who is carried by the Lord Himself on His head? 2.SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Bhumi is carried by Aadhi Koormam , AaadhisEshan, the eight elephants guarding the directions and the seven KulAchalams. That BhUmi supports the Paadhukais. It is ultimately the Lord, who as the SarIram for all sentients and insentients. Out of His Vaathsalyam, Soulabhyam, Souseelyam and OudhArya GuNams and His affection for You, the Lord bears You through many His many forms . 3. Oh PaadhukE ! During SanchAra Kaalam , Lord RanganAthan carries You, who is over the BhUmi Piratti that He is carrying ( Sa: Rangee api kshithi-vyavahithaam ThvAm gathishu vahathi). He does so through the many froms (BhumikA BhEdai: vahathi) He takes to carry BhUmi Piratti and Yourself on Her serving as His Paadhukais. These different forms to carry BhUmi Devi by the Lord are: Aadhi Koormam ( KamaDa Pathy ), AdhisEshan (Bhujaga PariBhrudan), seven mighty mountains ( Kulasikhari) and the eight elephants of the directions ( Karivara: )...(V.S) . ------------------------ Yahoo!
