thirup pAvai - part 46 - "Why" must Aaycchiars identify Sri

KrishnA as an extraordinary person ?

 

It was stated earlier that the nArayaNa saptham is a special

one and that one has to take every care in handling or chanting

it.

nAra sapthEna jeevAnAm samooha: prOchayathE buthai |

kathirAlambanam thasya dEna nArAyana: samrutha:||

 

ie Our elders state that the nAra saptham represents the

society (samooham) of the nArALs or jeevAs. The one who stands

as the "prApyam" (palan) and Siddha upAyam (means) as well for

this jeeva samooham is also called as nArAyaNan.

 

It is also said in nArAyaNa saptha vyAkyAnam, nArAyNa

anuvAham that "nArAyaNam pArAyaNam" or nArAyaNan is the one who

stands as the superior siddhA upAyam. Sri sulaba upanishad

also narrates this thiru nAmam as "saraNam nArAyaNA" or saraNam

to nArAyaNa.

 

Sri ANDAL already knows that Sri KrishnA is Sriman

nArAyaNA and the para deivam. But then it is puzzling to many as

to how she identifies SriKrishna when she in Aaychiar bhAvam ?

ie., Did those Aaychiars already know during Sri Krishna

avathAram that Sri KrishnA is Sriman nArAyanA HIMself. Yes ! It

is derived from this extraordinary verse in the first pAsuram of

thirup pAvai that certain Aaychiars very well knew of HIS

avathAra rahasyam during the avatharam itself. It is conceived

that Sri ANDAL is conveying that certain Aaychiars already

knew that Sri Krishna is Sriman nArayanA HIMself. Even during

the previous avathArams, the avathAra rahasyams were revealed

to some during certain stages.

 

It seems certain rishis also proclaimed then that "Esha

nArAyaNa: ...hyAga mathurAm purim"., ie Sriman nArAyaNan HIMself

has come to mathura puri.

 

Unlike the previous avathArAs, Sri KrishnA accomplished

a lot of HIS avathAra kAryams when HE was a child itself. The

"asareeri" or the divine voices from heaven pronounced about HIS

coming to do kamsa samhAram. Sri AdisEsha appeard in HIS real

swaroopam and protected HIM as HE was carried from the prison

(of HIS parents) to Sri Nandagopar's thiru mALigai. HE did suck

up the life of Sri Boothanai and kicked off the life of

sadakAsuran, and relieved the sons of Sri kubEra from their

spell bound. HE showed the entire universe in HIS mouth to Sri

yasOdhai. HE is the one who killed many demons or asurAs such

as vyOmAsura, dhinAkAsura, pralambasura, kEshi, and few others

sent by Kamsa. Slaying so many asurAs in one's childhood is not

an ordinary achievement. Only an extraordinary person can do so.
