Dear BhakthAs :

 

In this and subsequent postings , we will enjoy

the anubhavam of Kaliyan visualizing Amuruviappan

as some of the dasaavathAra mUrthys .

 

Amuruviappan took the avathArAms as Mathsyam ,

Koormam , VarAham , Narasimham and Krishnan .

Kaliyan was blessed to witness the dasAvatharams

at Therazhundhur , when he performed the mangalAsAsanam

of Amunruviappan . In addition to the dasAvathArams ,

Kaliyan also saw Amuruviappan as Vata Pathra Saayee ,

HayagrIvan and Gajendra Varadhan .Since Aamuruviappan

presents Himself in Archai as GopAlan (Gosakan ) , Kaliyan

celebrated this avathAram in great eclat and detail .

Thus 10 of the 45 Kaliyan Paasurams about Amuruviappan

is about KrishNAvathAram , three are about RaamAvathAram ,

three are on NarasimhAvathAram and one each on ParasurAma ,

VarAha and Vaamana avathArams.

 

One is reminded of Swami Desikan's DasAvathAra

sthOthram and Jaya DevA's salutation to the Lord

who presented Himself as DasAvathAra Murthy .

In the prathama Sargam of Geetha Govindham ,

Jaya DevA salutes KrishNA as DasAvathAra

mUrthy through 16 slOkAs . The fifteenth and

the sixteenth slOkAs summarize the DasAvathAram :

 

Sri Jayadeva kavEridham udhitham udhAram

sruNu sughadham Subhadham BhavasAram

Kesava dhrutha dasavidha rUpa Jaya JagadhIsa HarE (15)

 

(Meaning ):

 

" Listen to the perfect invocation of poet JayadevA

Joyously evoking the essence of existence !

You take the ten fold cosmic form , KrishNa.

Triumph, Hari , Lors of the World ".

 

VedhAnuddharathE JagannivahathE BhUgOLamudhbhibrathE

Dhaithyam dhArayathE Balim chalayathE Kshathrakshayam KurvathE

Poulasthyam jayathE Halam kalayathE kaaruNyam aathanvthE

mlEcchAn mUrchayathE DasAkruthikruthE KRISHNAAYA THUBHYAM NAMA:(16)

 

(Meaning) :

 

" For Upholding the VedAs , For supporting the Earth ,

For raising the world , For tearing the demon asunder ,

For cheating Bali , For destroying the warrior class ,

For conquering RavaNA , For wielding the plough ,

For spreading compassion ,For routing the barbarians ,

Homage to You , KrishNA , In Your ten incarnate forms!

 

We will enjoy the Lord's DasAvathArams as seen by the eye of

Thirumangai at TherazhundhUr in our next posting .
