SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi. Today?s verse is Periya Thourmizh 1.8.6. 

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. 

eNdisaigaLumEzhulagamumvaangkip ponvayiRRilpeydhu,
paNdOraalilaippaLLikoNdavan
paanmadhikkidarttheertthavan,
oNdiRalavuNanuratthugirvaittavan oLLeyiRRodu,
thiNdiRalariyaayavan thiruvEngkadamadainNeNYchamE!    
 1.8.6

ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan is the One who ate the whole
Universe. The One who (once), in order to protect the
seven directions, seven worlds during mahApraLayam
(Cosmic cycle), ate them and retained them in His 
stomach and lied down on a small Banyan leaf- the One
who removed the sorrow of the white moon)- the One who
appeared as Narasimhan (Lion-faced Lord) and tore the
chest of hiraNyan with sharp nails to kill him- Such
Greatest Emperumaan is at ThiruvEmkatam mountain. Oh
mind! Reach there. 

Vaamanan ? The Lord who has the entire Universe- all
worlds, all oceans, everything in Prakruti [Cosmic
matter] went a Bramachari Boy and begged for three
measures of earth? all for the sake of His devotees.
He stoops down to any level for mere protection and
saving of His asrithars. His kalyANa guNA of
sowseelyam is to be cherished and enjoyed forever by
us and then only we can comprehend His Parathvam. 

Such greatest Lord who not only owns it; He knows how
to protect the property as well. Some people know how
to get the materials; but not to save/protect or
sustain them. They are not capable of.. Our Sarva
shakthan also protects these seven worlds; oceans,
mountains, by retaining them all in His stomach during
cosmic dissolution. He has them in tact and nothing
gets disturbed. 

The Lord who reclines on Banyan leaf as an infant
retaining these seven worlds in His stomach, places
His toe finger in His stomach? is enjoyed by
Poorvacharyas in the commentary that He is now
checking the universe after bringing them in? similar
to the person who measures at the place where he gets
and brings the material to home- and checks with the
same measure if the quantity is correct and in tact.
Similarly The Lord who had got the property from Bhali
by measuring with His Feet, now has all the worlds in
his stomach safely placed. He wants to ensure that
they are all in place and hence wants to measure with
the same Feet again and tries to push the toe into His
mouth? - a great enjoyment..

He is the One who removed the sorrow of the moon. He
is the Lord who appeared as Narasimhan and saved His
bhaktha Prahalada from HiraNyakasipu. 

HiraNyakasipu asked:

Oh Prahalada, if He is there everywhere, why is He not
here- present in this pillar? Let me cut your head and
let me see how your most worshippable Lord comes to
protect you. With terrible anger,
hiraNyakasipu struck his fist against the pillar.

THERE APPEARED FROM THE PILLAR, CAME A fierceful
sound, which appeared to crack the covering of the
universe. It reached even the abodes of Brahma.
Demi-gods thought the planets are getting destroyed.

Sri NammAzhwAr's ThiruvAymozhi describes wonderfully:

"engum uLan KaNNan enRa maganik kaayndhu/
inghu illaiyaa? enRu iraNiyan thooN pudaippa,
"anghu", "appozhudhE" avan veeyat thOnRiya
"en" Singapiraan perumai aarayum seermaitthE..

what an anubhavam and emotional narration of MaaRan..!
Prahalada says.. enghum uLan.  (KaNNan is there
everywhere) IraNiyan asks "inghu illaiyaa? (is He not
here?)
The Bhagawathas say "He is everywhere.
The athiest asks in negative.
Bhagawatha is affirmative and positive.
anghu- (Then and there..-Immediately), appozhudhE,
avan veeyatthOnRiya..what a word! en- My Singapiraan-
ennudaiya Singapiraan- My Lord Nrusimhan-
ArAyum seermaitthE- Can His graetness be measured and
comprehended? (Never)

HiraNyakasipu studied the form of the Lord:

It was extremely fearsome, because of His angry eyes,
like molten gold, shining mane, which added ferocity
to the face, His deadly sharp teeth, His razor sharp
tongue, the erect ears, the cave like nostrils and the
mouth, slightly parted jaws, the whole body so huge
that it touched the sky, short neck and thick, broad
chest, thin waist and the body hairs like the rays of
moon. Long arms spread in all directions;

Just a small insect falls forcefully into the fire,
the insignificant creature becomes invisible,
HiraNyakasipu attacked the Lord, who was full of
effulgence. Like Garuda plays with the snake by slowly
releasing and again catching, the Lord left him a
little by letting him come back to fight;
HiraNyakasipu thought he is winning.

Making a huge noise, shrill sound of laughter, the
Great Lord Sri Narasihman who is extremely strong and
powerful, captured HiraNyakasipu, and with the great
speed, He hit him on the strong chest. With great
speed, HiraNyakasipu was tossed sometimes in the sky
and sometimes in the earth, he kept his eyes closed
because of fear of the Lord and His laughter.

Lord Sri Narasingan placed HiraNyakasipu on His lap
supporting him with His thighs, in the doorway, at
twilight and effortlessly and very easily tore open
the demon to pieces with His sharp nails.

Lord Sri Narsimhan's mouth and mane were sprinkled
with blood, His fearsome, fierce eyes, full of anger,
were just impossible to look at. Licking the edge of
the mouth with his tongue, simply threw the body
aside. He killed the asura effortlessly. Such most
merciful Lord is here standing at ThiruvEnkatam for
saving us..
