thoo nilA muRRam - part 30 - Sri RanganAthar and Sri ArA amuthan in

Srirangam

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Sri RAmA presented the Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam (that has the

Sri Vaideeka vimAnam in it) to HIS most ardent dAsan and friend Sri

vibheeshaNa AzhwAr as a "seer" or a parting gift. Sri vibheeshanan

was extremely sad to take leave and go back to Sri Lanka. He set

out on a long journey through the southeren skies. While on his way

he spotted a very fertile place surrounded by the water of kauveri

and wanted to perform his anushtAnam. So he landed there and kept

the praNavAkAra vimAnam there and went to the river bank. After

performing his nitya anushtAnam, he came back to the site where he

had kept the vimAnam. He tried to lift it and it would not move an

inch from where it was. He tried with his best strength and many

still it would not move. Fearing that he may not be able to do any

thing to take it home, he was crying aloud and was in a state of

deepest grief. Simple words cannot express this sOkam of Sri

vibheeshan.

 

On seeing this, due to HIS own mercy Lord Sriman nArAyaNA,

opened HIS eyes and talked to him. HE said, "Dear Vibheeshanan, I

have been wanting to come here for a very long time. There is a Sri

chandra puskarani and a "punnai maram" here. Sri chandran and many

others are doing a severe penance seeking my arrival and presence

here for a very long time. Hence I am going to stay here and do

"nityA vAsam" here. You cannot even shake me from here. I am

resolved to stay here and I cannot come to the lanka that was

earlier brought to shambles due to the asura kingdom. Further, in

the east direction from here, (4 yOjaNa away), Sri brigu rishi who

kicked me on my chest, is to be born as Sri hEma maharishi and

he is going to be doing a severe penance seeking my blessings and

presence there as well. Sri mahA lakshmi who was residing in

the chest that got kicked was very much annoyed and is also going

to be incarnating as Sri kOmaLa valli and is also going to be doing

a severe penance seeking to see me again. In order to see them

and be with them, I am going to separate from here the Sri Vaideeka

vimAnam that is part of me, and go there and be there for anantha

kodi kalpAs there itself. I will do nityA vAsam there for all the

anantha kOdi kalpAs to come (*). You may come here once in a year

and do an ArAdhanA and attain the palan of doing ArAdhanA for the

whole year. HE thus convinced Sri vibheeshan and persuaded him to

go back to his kingdom in Sri lanka leaving the twin vimAnam and

twin perumALs in Sri rangam.

 

In the mAhA nagar Sri rangam, the lords were residing in this

very special twin form for many years. ie., This special union was

a blessing that continued for many years. It is said that during

all these time the twin perumALs and the twin vimAnams were all in one and

the punniyA athmAs were enjoying this. One may wonder why the Lord

revealed the secret about the twin moorthis and vimAnam and their

future plans to Sri vibheeshan. There is a reason there that is being told.

Sri vibheeshan did many prayatthanam to move or

even shake the vimAnam and the perumAL to take back to Sri lanka. HE even

prayed to the Lord to somehow come there. Lord said no to him. However,

an inner part of the Lord is going to leave for another place sometime

later and there has got to be an explanation for this. or else Sri

vibheeshanan would definitely wish that this

inner part of the Lord come to Sri lanka whenever convenient.

If he comes to know later that "the Lord said that HE wouldn't move

from there, but HE moved with HIS inner part to thiru kudanthai",

then he may feel really bad that the Lord had deceived him and did

not keep HIS promise that HE would not move anywhere. If HE can

move from Sriramgam, then why not to Sri Lanka? Instead of giving

an explanation on a later day, Sri vibhesshan was provided with

an explanation on the very same day when the Lord decided to stay

in Srirangam. Thus Sri ArA amuthan vaibavam was revealed to Sri

vibheeshan in advance.
