Shri Sadagopan Than- Tamil Nool Vazhiya
Shri Kaarimaaran Thiruvadikalae Saranam
Dear Kasturi Rangan Swamin
Adiyaen's Pranams.
Adiyaen is surprised/embarrassed to know new things by reading
your mail.whatsoever it be, for us to get rid of this birth ,death
cycle, we approach our almighty.
Tamil(Dravidian) people's favorite poet Thiruvalluvar also ,
i think , may be a Shri Vaishnavite. here is a clip.
Vendunkaal vendum Piravaamai matrathu
vendaamai venda varum.
See What our beloved kaarimaaran ji says: ( complimented)
Atrathu Patrenil Utrathu Veedu Uyir (Ref 1.2.X)
Veedumin Mutravum Veedu seithu Veedu udaiyaanukku....
Our Shri Vishnu sahasranamama is also saying "sharabha story "
"Atula sharabho bheema sama yajno havir Hari:"
Reference : www.mypurohith.com/Rituals/vishnusahasranaamam[0-75].asp
When i try to go the word by word meaning,
They say that Shiva took the form of eight legged Creature(like a
spider man) to kill lion. Let Lord Shiva be a Spider man/Ape man.
That is his business.
ADIYAEN IS concerned of OUR almighty.
Howsoever the meaning of Sarabha (= Sara + bha ) refers as
sara means that which is perishable. all finite substance/entities
are subject to annihilation. so sarabha here refers to He who
dwells and shines forth in us. (that is our almighty).
complimenting the Balamurali krishna's carnatic song.
"Anthari ki Shri hari anthar-aathmaa !!! Brahmam okka-dey para-
brahmam.."
Thanks for bringing this story.
ADIYAEN
THONDAR THONDAR THONDAN SADAGOPAN DAASAN.
"Kodumaa vinaiyaen avan adiyaar adiyae koodum ithu vallaal
Vidumaaru - yenpathaen ANTHO VIYAN MOO-VULAGU PERINUMAE"
