AakAsa Nagareesa Managalam : SlOkams 7-12 & Conclusion

[Guest guest]

Seventh MangaLa SlOkams On Sri Oppiliappan &

Sri Venkatachalapathy of Saptha Giri:

 

lAvaNya nidhayE apAstha lavaNAya MaheekruthE I

kAruNyEnaavatheerNAya SaraNyAyAsthu mangaLam II

 

MangaLams to the SaraNyan ,Lord of ThiruviNNAgar ,

who is the embodiment of beauty , who incarnated out of

DayA for His bhakthAs and rejected the taste of salt

in His food for the sole purpose of qualifying to

marry the most beautiful BhUmi Devi , the daughter

of Sage MarkandEyA .

 

Comments: The ThiruviNNagar sthala purANam-Covered

at length by Sri Sampath Rengarajan earlier- states

that the Lord appearing as an old man vying for the

hand of the young BhUmi Devi assured Sage MarkandEyA ,

the worried father , that He will rather give up salt

totally in His food instead of worrying whether

the bride can prepare food with the right amount of

salt/seasoning . Sage MarkaNdEyA was trying to discourage

the old man seeking his daughter's hand in marriage with

the statement that his daughter , Bhumi Devi was

so young that She does not even know how to

prepare food and even add the right amount of salt

in the food to properly season it . The clever old man,

our Lord , disarmed Sage MarkandEyA with His deft

concession that he would rather give up salt

than the hand of Bhumi Devi .Once Sage MarkandEyA

recovered from that parry , he had no argument .

He recognized now the true identity of the old man

standing in front of him beseching his daughter's

hand in marriage .The sage gladly consented now to

the marriage and stays even today with folded

hands on the left side of the Lord at His garbhagraham .

On the right hand side is his daughter serving

the Lord , who has taken on the name of

LavaNa varjitha VenkatEsan , or the One who

has rejected salt in His NaivEdhyams out of

His love for His consort .
