SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy ThirumangaiAzhwAr?s Periya Thirumozhi. Today?s verse is Periya Thirumozhi 1.8.5 kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama: I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance (a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali dhOsham. vaNkaiyaanavuNarkkunNaayagan vELviyilsenRumaaNiyaay, maNkaiyaaliranNdhaan maraamaramEzhumeydhavalatthinaan, eNkaiyaanimayatthuLLaan iruNYchOlaimEviyavembiraan, thiNkaimmaathuyaitheertthavan thiruvEngkadamadainNeNYchamE! 1.8.5 The One who appeared as the young Brahmachari dwarf boy and begged mahAbhali with His small Hands (for the whole universe ultimately)- the One who appeared as Sri Raman and sent the arrow through seven trees (saala vruksham) at a stretch- the One who lives in Thirumaaliru~nchOlai- the One removed the sorrow of GajEndran elephant and granted mOksham to the animal- is showing Himself at ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Reach there. vaN kaiyaan- the strong armed Mahaabhali or the king of strong armed asurAs; Mahaabhali?s audhaaryam was so much that he is revered as vaNkaiyaan; That?s why the Lord did not wish to take avathAram and fight to get back the three worlds. Instead, he wished to utilise his audhaaryam and retrieve the worlds to give back to Devendran. He went begging for three measures of ?maN? [the earth].. He Himself is the Lord of the entire Universe; all worlds; Lord of everyone and everything. He owns them; It is His property and He went begging for the three measures of His Feet from Bhali? what a sowseelyam.. Anything He does for the sake of His asrithars? devendran pleaded to the Lord Upendran [Sriman Narayanan] and thus He took this Vaamana avathAram for Devendran?s sake. Vyakhyana Chakravartthi Sri Periyavacchan Pillai adds here: Like the cotton that changes its form and shape and transforms itself or is changed by others- into twelve types, the maN (meaning the matter- or prakruthi) is also changed by the Lord different forms or types. The cotton forms: seed; rolled into the ball; gets to thread form; woven; formed into a cloth; washed; ironed; worn and then torn? etc.. The matter undergoes such forms or changes [by the Lord]: The matter is in subtle form inside Him; He brings it out; It takes into mahath and the elements; Also the seven worlds (upper and below); He houses jeevans into these five elements as their sareeram; He swallows the matter during dissolution; and spits out during evolution; He lifts the Universe on His teeth [eeayiRRu] (during Varaaha avathAram) and keeps in vayiRu [during praLayam]. Such a Master who owns this universe goes to beg from this Bhali for three measures. What a sowseelyam! ? enjoys Sri Periya Vacchaan PiLLai. He saved the strong armed Gajendran [The One who the string trunk] from the crocodile.. and granted mOksham to the elephant. The elephant is reported to have fought with the crocodile for 1000 years and was also supported by its relatives and family members. But all in vain and finally yelled for the Primordial Chief [Adhi moolamae] He rushed to save the elephant immediately and never asked as to why it did not call for His help before? Also He felt guilty that He did not come earlier and let the elephant be saved. That sorrow [kuRai] of the Lord is now resolved as He is ever ready at ThiruvEnkatam standing for our sake and waiting so that he can rush immediately. He is the Lord of Attapubhuyakaram divya desam {lord with eight hands]; He is the Lord of Thirumaaliruncholai; And he is ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan.
