thirup pAvai - part 47 - How does Aaycchiar identify Sri KrishnA ?

- as Sriman nArAyaNa !

 

HE controlled the "kAlinga" snake and protected the cow

herds and their water hole. HE also humiliated lord Sri BrahmA

himself when HE expanded into many cows HIMself and protected

the cows as Sri Amaruviyappan. If Lord Sri BrahmA himself was

unaware of this avathAra rahasyam untill then and during the

avathAram times, then who else will know ? The converse is

that if one is unknown to Lord Brahma HIMself who else HE can

be ? HE must be the para deivam Sriman nArAyaNA HIMself. Now

after reading Srimadh bAgavatham we can derive such conclusions.

But how did the Aaychiars came to know of HIS para swaroopam

during the time of avathAram itself ? Revelation to Sri Akrur

took place as HE was leaving AaypAdi.

 

If one may say HE had the special mani or pendant in

HIS "thiru mArbu" or chest, then it is understood that HIS

acquiring the "mani" was a later incident and it didnot take

place during HIS tenure in AaypAdi. If some may say HE revealed

HIS para thtathuvam to Sri Arjuna during Srimadh bagawath Geetha

upadEsam, then such incident also took place after HE had left

AaypAdi. So this revelation must have occured while HE was in

AaypAdi, and to a select few Aaychiars. The supposition is

such that as everyone in AaypAdi witnessed, HE carried the

govardhana giri mountain with his lillte finger and gave refuge

to the entire Aayar kulam. This and all the other "athimAnushya

kAryams" of the Lord easily identify HIM as one who is an

extraordinary person.

 

But then saving the Aayars from the wrath of Indra by this

gOvardhana giri episode was seen as the turning point such that

HE identified HIMself as the para deivam to Aaychiars. ie When

"kAlinga" snake was poisoning all the water and was nabbing

cow herds one by one, the Aaychiars were not in great danger.

When Kamsa's army took away all the cows, and the Lord performed

HIS vEnu gAnam to recall the cows, the Aaychiars were not in

great danger for their life either. However when Indra was

inducing thunder storms and pouring all the myth through the

rains, the entire clan of Aaychiars was facing extinction.

They thought there was no other way than to perish. It was,

when the Lord gave them the protection in an extraordinary

way by simply lifting the mountain with great ease, they did

survive and as well (some of them) believe that this is the God

Sriman nArAyaNa HIMself the speciality of whom is to always

protect those who are surrenderd to HIM. Hence certain Aaychiars

already know that this is nArAyaNA HIMself who appeared as Sri

KrishnA to save them. Since this line is revealing the avathAra

rahasyam this pAsuram that contains this line is very important

one for the entire thirup pAvai, and since this one pAsuram

itself reveals the para thatthuvams all in one, this nool or

literature itself is very important and is known as the "thiru

avathAram" of the Lord HIMself.
