thirup pAvai - part 42 - sowlabyan and sowseelyan

 

Sri PV Pillai delivers further that "mEnmai kaNdu

iRAyAmaikku sowseelyatthai anusanthikka vENum". ie., It is said

that the Lord doesnot see for who is a small person and who is a

big person in their stature. HE simply mixes with everyone and

according to each one's pakkuvam and stature. ie HE mixes with

everyone in such a way that they donot feel any differnce

between them and HIM. HE also makes HIMself feasible so that

everyone can enjoy HIS company in their own capacities. HE has

such gunam that is called as sowseelyam.

 

Sri PV Pillai mentions that, "atheenthriyan enRu

iRAyAmaikku sowlabyatthai anusanthikka vENum". ie., There are

places like Sri parama patham that even demigods cannot reach

that easily. In fact they go to HIS vyUkam ie thirup pARkadal

everytime they have a problem that they need HIS help to fix so

they can survive. But everyone is not a demigod. Due to HIS

compassion Our Lord took other incarnations and as well becomes

arcchA murthy (Sri RanganAthan, Sri namperumAL, Sri malOlan and

Sri Oppiliappan and so on) such that we all have an easy access

to HIM. ie HE is always staying in our presence and the

proximity to reach HIM is near and made simple. It is upto us to

worship HIM in these nearby temples that we can access easily in

this jivAtma swaroopam.

 

While addressing the Lord as yasOdhai iLam singam HIS

sowseelyam is addressed. Sri yasOdhai thought this is HER own

son and she will mete out all kinds of punishment when she feels

necessary. Immediately after that, due to her pEthai nenjam

she will cry loudly and will rush to hug HIM and love HIM as HIS

mother. It is our lord's sowseelyam that HE made HIMself as this

naughty son of this milk maid (idaicchi) Sri yasOdhai such that

she thought HE is in her level ie as her own Son while HE is

the sarva swAmi HImself. ie, the Lord mixed HIMself so much

easily with yasOdhai and appeared to her as HER son.

 

By saying Sri "nandagOpan kumaran" HIS sowlabyam is

addressed. ie., it seems whenever Sri nandagOpan the "idayan"

or milk man calls out Sri Krishna HE will immediately respond

to such call and present HIMself in front of Sri NandagOpan.

This is a directive from a father to the son. It is said that

each time the mother tries to beat HIM or give a punishment the

father intervenes many times to relieve HIM and give HIM a great

big papa hug. Due to such overriding Sri Krishna always has

expressed HIMself very closer to HIS father. After each such

occasion HE had reciprocated with HIS obedience to HIS father

and such is displayed by the quick reporting time each time HE

has been called for. Though Sri Krishna is "para deivam" in

Sri parama patham amd gOlOkam, due to HIS sowlabyam HE presents

HIMself each time when HE is called by HIS father Sri nanda

gOpan. This is the reason as to why many of the Sri Krishna

bhajans often has HIS thiru nAmam or holy name addressed and

repeated several times as Sri nanda lAlA.
