thoo nilA muRRam - part 7 - chatra kainkaryam of Sri AdisEshan

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Sri AdisEshan of thiru kudanthai is very very special in many

ways. He is hosting engaL perumAN in his lap. He is also doing a

full blown "Sri chathra kainkaryam". This is known as kudai or

umbrellA kainkaryam. ie., He is bearing himself as an umbrella for

engaL perumAL Sri ArAvamudhan. Many know about the famous pAsuram

in manthra pushpam.

 

"senRAl kudaiyAm irunthAl singA Asanam Am;

ninrAl mara vadiyAm neeL kadaL uL -- enRum

puNaiyAm maNi viLLakAm poom pattAm pulkum

aNaiyAm thirumALukku aRavu"

 

Simple meaning:

 

dEvAs are sometimes selfish and they approach the lord for

sillarai pleasures for themselves. Our Sri AdisEshan has no such

dhur abimAnam. He changes his form to then there to suit the "state"

and thiru uLLam of our parama purushan Sriman nArAyanan. He does

his "adimai kainkaryam" then and there and constantly without

stopping. Our Sri AdisEshan who is the chief of all nitya suris

enjoys doing such. ie., If our Lord due to his own preethi wants to

stand doing His vibavam, Sri AdisEshan becomes his umbrella.

Didn't he do this full swung umbrella while Sri VasudEvar was

carrying our Lord crossing the river during heavy down pouring of

rains and the river are being in full spate themselves? (Those who

has not seen that, can see it in thiru kudanthai even today).

"sEshi uganthu adimai seybavan". ie., he does become an umbrella

and do "adimai kainkaryam" only when our Lord is standing or

walking due to Lord's own preethi or due to sEshi's ugappu. That is

why he is known as sEshan.

 

When our Lord Sriman nArAyaNa due to HIS own viruppam or desire

wants to sit in paramapatham, Sri AdisEshan becomes his simhAsanam

or the grand throne. When our Lord due to his own pleasure wants to

take a stroll he in his vibavam, (Sri Rama avathAram) Sri AdisEshan

becomes his holy footwear known as thiru pAthugai. In those wide

seas when Our Lord is in HIS kaLLa nitthirai, Sri AdisEshan becomes

HIS soft bed. When our Lord wants to see some vasthu, Sri AdisEshan

becomes the lamp or maNgaLa deepam that gives the light. He has so

many rathnams in his sirasu such that even 1000 suriyans cannot

match the brightness of such a light. When sarvEswaran wants to

wear a peethAmbaram or a new dress, Sri AdisEshan becomes Lord's

new silk wear. When our Lord is in private moments due to HIS own

icchai or antharanga nEram with HIS consorts, Sri AdisEshan serves

as the thazhu Anai or thalai Anai or pillow or thindu. It is also

said that when there is a oodal or a brief priod of flase fighting

between lovers, (here it is our Lord and HIS Consorts), Our Lord's

mood is down, Sri AdisEshan becomes the aNai that our Lord hugs to

come over this sorrow. aNai means hug ot the thing that is being

hugged. thazhu means hug in tamil. thazhu aNai means the one that

gets hugged.

 

In thiru kudanthai Sri Amuthan is not walking. If only when

Sriman nArAyana is senRAl Sri AdisEshan is to come as his umbrella.

Example is Sri vAmaNa avathAram. But in thiru kudanthai he is doing

"kudai" or chathra kainkaryam even while "engaL perumAL" is in

"utthAyana sayaNam". He is full blown and spread his hood to the

fullest extent and bent over engaL perumAL with his eyes wide open.

He is seen distinctly with all his five heads completely stretching

and spanning over "engaL perumAL" who is attempting to get up.

When HE is kaLLa nitthirai, AdisEshan can be little away or not in

full blown state. But when our Lord Sri ArAamuthan's eyes "sengan"

are open who else will not see let alone his constant companion Sri

AdisEshan. It is said that Sri AdisEshan is bent to look at those

eyes of engaL perumAL Sri ArAamudhan that are wide open.
