Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

He came running in the front and hugged. Now AzhwAr enjoys the Kutti KaNNan

coming from behind and hugs.. (puRam pulgal) AzhwAr enjoys the scene and

feels bliss at Kutti’s hugging from behind.

en kuttan – My son- KaNNan- similar to the white little pearls that get

dropped, the little droplets of water trickle from the small (growing) bud

(male organ) [which is found in between the two blue hued gem-like dark

circular ones (bhIjam- testicles)] making “falling” sound from those

droplets of water trickling (sottu sottenna thuLikka thuLikka) comes behind

and hugs my back.

 

Govindhan’s this water made his cows’ water (gomoothram) more sacred.

With the anklets and waist ornaments tied around the feet and the waist

respectively, wearing bangles around his wrists, red coral chain and golden

chains around the neck, within a fraction of a second, my KaNNan comes

walking along with his battalion (of ornaments) from behind and hugs my

back.

 

Within fraction of a second- is to be enjoyed. AzhwAr (YasOdhA) calls him

for hugging him; he refuses and goes and walks somewhere else. She feels

bad; when she is busy doing something else, he suddenly turns and hugs from

behind.

It is my wealth; - like that everyone shouts wants to possess- such

Saamraajya sampatthu (royal throne) is not shared with Paandavaas and

DhuryOdhanan all alone wanted to rule the entire earth. For his whole family

to perish the Lord came as KaNNan. Such SarvEshwaran KaNNan comes running

from behind and hugs my back. The lion of cowherd group – bull- hugs my

back.

KaNNan- who drove the chariot of Arjunan [who had surrendered to Him saying,

Oh PurushOtthmA! Who has the sword (nandhakam) in his Hand!] and made other

kings in the battlefield shiver with fear seeing the beautiful and strong

chariot of Arjunan driven KaNNan. That KaNNan come fron behind and hugs me;

the nirvaahakan of the Paramapadhan comes behind and hugs me.

Those days (during Thiruvikrama avatar) the devotees sang in praise of Him

and greeted Him, when He measured the earth with three measures of His feet;

This Lord- has the sword around His waist plays in the charming cool garden

shadows. This playful Boy comes from behind and hugs me. Vaamanan comes from

behind and hugs me.

 

ViLaiyaadi- playing- in the first two lines- kaNNan’s play and the second

two lines mention Vaamanan’s play. The sword (which is blunt) is for cutting

the leaves in the garden so that they will have more space to play.

The Lord- who has PiraaTTi in His ThirumEni- who has the Divya mangaLa

vigraham- who took Thrivikrama avatar when he came as little small

brahmachari Boy, the Unparalleled One – holding an umbrella- when all kings

paid their obeisance in the yaagam performed by MahAbhali who stood seeing

Emperumaan in the Yaaga saalai- such greatest Lord comes from behind and

hugs me. The One who measures the earth comes from behind and hugs me.

The hollow mortar was kept upside down and on top of it, He stood to extend

his hand for getting the curd, sweet milk and the butter that were hung from

the top in pots;- He ate them all to his stomach full and He is the Swamy of

all. Such greatest Sarva Swamy will come from behind to hug me- the One who

has the divine chakrA in His Hand will come from behind to hug me.

 

Why did he choose the hollow mortar- pottha ural? Because none will come

looking for it. Or YasOdhA would have had many good ones being used in the

past by KaNNan for his “purpose” and now she kept only the “holed” one. He

used it intelligently keeping it upside down. Or the mortar (ural) was used

to climb in order to drill a hole (potthal) at the bottom of the pots. (what

a great anubhavam by our AcharyAs!) To drill that hole, he had the ChakrA

and hence, AzhwAr refers to ChakrA. The butter itself was in huge pots; To

make such butter, how much of milk should have been kept!- one can

visualize. (Those who have seen making butter would be able to guess)

The assembly of great knowledgeable elderly Vedic scholars; (in order to see

Him in person and pay obeisance to Him - not only to just merely attempt to

comprehend Him from vedic hymns; also to enjoy His Divya mangaLa vigraham in

Vibhava avatar) the celestial bodies (Devas) assemble in the skies praising

Him with sthOthrams, (thus everyone assembled there enjoying His) playing

different tunes of music with his flute from a small sand hill (in order to

let everyone have a look); and then (suddenly) He would come running towards

me to hug me from behind. My Parama upakaarakan will come from behind and

hug me.

 

Even those who do now know music can enjoy His playing flute. He dances and

plays so nicely and effortlessly. Everyone comes; there is no dhourbhAgya

saali (no unfortunate ones. All see Him). The vedic scholars enjoy the

esoteric vedic hymns being played so beautifully and mellifluously; the

Devas also enjoy the flute music and they start praising the Lord. The One

who just enchants the whole Universe and everyone should come (just for me

and me alone) from behind and hug me.. (Asai Asai..:-)

For SathyabhAmA, who desired for the paarijaatha (which is like KaRapaka)

tree from DEvEndhra lOka, KaNNan immediately said, “I will get it right now”

and went to indra lOkam to get the same (Indran fought first and later asked

for pardon. Later he pleaded..” this tree came out when we churned the Milky

ocean and hence it is the greatest Paarijaatha tree. Please give it back

after your avatar at least, Swamin. And KaNNan) gave it back to him after

Krishna avatar thereby it is now in Indra lOkam) and planted it in the inner

quadrant of SathyabhAmA’s residence where the cool moon shines brightly

(meaning the quadrant is open to the skies; and Sun shine comes in for the

tree to stay live.. – it is muRRam..) Thus, the tree was saved (uytthavan)

by the Lord with His darshan and kataaksham more than the moon rays’) Such

greatest One will come from behind to hug me. The director of Paramapadham

will come from behind to hug me.

 

KaNNan brought this tree because IndrANi (wife of Indran) had committed some

apacharam and hence had to lose this temporarily as sort of punishment. Thus

the Paarijaatha tree was given to sathya bhAma. (says Vishnu puraaNam-

5.30.29 and also PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi 3.9.1)

Sri VishNu chitthan’s enjoyment of KaNNan’s vibhava avtaar’s hugging His

mother YasOdhA PiraaTTi from behind is sing in ten sweet chaste Tamil

pAsurams. Those who can sing (or read this meaning of) this ten pAsurams are

blessed with good children (who in turn will be blessed with this Bhagavad

vishayam in their life time too) and feel happy.

 

Here in this PAsuram, first KaNNan’s hggung from behind is narrated and then

YasOdhA is mentioned. Means: Till last pAsuram, she pleaded Him; now He has

come on his own and hugged from behind. – says Sri Manavala manunigaL.

 

AzhwAr thus completes the first patthu. (first hundred).

He described in

1. Thirupallandu

2. KaNNan’s birth

3. From the feet to Head description

4. lullaby to Kutti KaNNan

5. calling the moon

6. senkeerai Aduthal (moving to and fro)

7. clapping hands

8. taking faltering steps

9. comes running to hug her from the front

10. Comes from behind to hug

 

He enjoyed all in the role of YasOdhA.. and He does not stop. He continues..

for us to continue too.
