nAcciyAr tirumozhi IV-kUDal izhaittal

pASuram 4.7 (fourth tirumozhi - pAsuram 7 anRu innAdana)

 

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

In the seventh pASuram, godai continues to praise the

valorous deeds of kaNNan: He destroyed SiSupAlan, who

had committed untold atrocities in his life. He felled

the twin marudam trees that were in His way. He conquered

the seven bullocks that stood in the way of marrying

nappinai, and also baKASuran who came in the form of a

crane to devour young kr*shNa. He destroyed the all-powerful

kamsan in front of everyone. godai appeals to kUDal to give

a good omen if it be true that kaNNan will be united with her.

 

 

anRu innAdana sei SiSUpAlanum

ninRa nIL marudum erudum puLLum

venRi vEl viRal kanjanum vIzha mun

konRavan varil kUDiDu kUDalE

 

B. Some additional thoughts:

 

anRu innAdana sei SiSUpAlanum: The reference here is

that SiSupAlan did everything that was unpleasant to rukmiNi

when her marriage was being contemplated. His acts, words,

and deeds were so distasteful that they have been described

as "pala nAzham Sollip pazhitta SiSupAlan", "kEtpAr Sevi SuDu

kIzhmai vaSavugaLE vaiyum, SEtpAl pazham pagaivan SiSupAlan",

etc. (SrI PBA's comments).

 

ANDAL continues to describe the leelA-s of kr*shNa in the

next two pASurams; however, in the current pASUram she names

some of the worst enemies whom He had overcome. In the next

PASurams, she describes some of His qualities of dayA to His

devotees.
