Guest guest Posted March 8, 1999 Report Share Posted March 8, 1999 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 ".

We will enjoy the Lord's DasAvathArams as seen by the eye of Thirumangai at TherazhundhUr in our next posting .
