Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 Dear Ravi, ‘marakatavallIm manasaasmaraami’ is a small krithi of dIkshitar dedicated to Sri marakatavalli of ‘virinchi puram’. This town is near kanchiipuram. The deity there is ‘maargasahaayeshvara swami’ and his consort is ‘marakatavalli’. After mohini avataara mahavishNu united with shivaa in his left half. As you stated devi and viShNu are one and the same. In this temple maragatavalli is the mohini rUpam of viShNu. To enforce their identity there is no devi shrine in this temple. ‘marakatavalli’ the mohini form of vishNu is the consort of shivaa here. DIkshitar sang in praise of this deity, marakatavallIm manasA smarAmi madanajanakAdi devapAlinIm harahR^idayAveshinIm mohinIm harihara putra jananIm naLinIm krUra daityAdi bR^inda marddinIm guruguhAdi nuta vahnivAsinIm Devi in the form of vishNu is ‘hari hara putra janani’ and ‘harahR^idayAveshni’. (Some people have an erroneous text ‘harihR^idayaaveshni’ which does not suit this context as well as goes against the praasa rule( ‘mara’ hara’).

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 --------- I received this query recently. Kindly address this question. I have stated my understanding (briefly) at the end of this question. -------------------- > > (ii) I do not know if you are familiar with the Muthuswami > Dikshitar kriti 'Maragatha Vallim' in Kambhoji. In it, Mu.Di. > addresses the Devi as " Hariharaputra JananIm" ? Could you > or someone else please explain this line to me ? > I can forward this to the list. I would welcome you to join the list. Narayana is non-different from ambaaL. In the verse starting with baaNatvam in shivaanandalaharii it is explicitly stated by shankara. hari and harisodari (or padmanaabha sahodari) are same. Hence, it is appropriate. There is also a talk by kanchi periyavaa which identifies hariharaputran ayyapa svaami with Lord Muruga. -- ===== Ravi <miinalochanii miinalochanii paashamochanii shive paahi shive paahi http://www.geocities.com/miinalochanii/meenakshi/ Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 Dear Aravind, Thanks for your prompt reply. In one of the talks kaanchi paramaacharya points that sthala puraaNams fill many gaps in puraaNams which otherwise would not be accurately understood. How true it is! Thanks again.
