emperumAn's tirumeni - Green color.

[Guest guest]

I sincerely appreciate the additional comments from SrImAn Sadagopan on

the nAma anirdeSya-vapuh, and the reference to acyuta Satakam and to

pAdukA sahasram. In particular, the reference to the Slokam in acyuta

Satakam deals with the green color for the tirumeni of bhagavAn, which

has been the subject of discussion recently in the list. The original

question posed on my posting related to the significance of bhagavAn's

green color. SrI rAmadeSikAchAriar in his vyAkhyAnam for this Slokam

refers to two special points of significance about this greeen color of

perumAL. One is the pleasing nature of this color as we notice when we

see a nice green tree. The second is the "paccilai maram" or the green

medicinal tree aspect referred to in this Slokam. He is the One who

cures all the diseases, especially the worst of all diseases, that of

samsAra, which only He can cure. So He is like the "pqaccilai" or the

green herbal cure. Signifcantly, He resides in the aushadha acala or

the "Herbal Mountain" like a tamAla (green-leafed tree). Those are at

least two aspects of His paccai meni.

 

Again, my sincere praNAmam-s to SrImAn Sadagopan for enriching the

write-up on anirdeSya-vapuh with his additional quotes from SrI pAdukA

sahasram and from acyuta Satakam.
