re- gita reference in 4000 prabhandham

[Guest guest]

Dear srivaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Just another link in 4000 prabhandham where reference to the teaching of

geetha is mentioned.

 

First the paasuram-

 

marumagan than santhathiyai uyir meettu maiththunanmaar

urumagaththE veezhaamE guru mugamaaik kaaththaan oor

 

thiru mugamaaich chengamalam thiru niRamaaik karunguvaLai

poru mugamaai ninRalarum punal arangam enbadhuvE

 

4 - 8 - 3 periyaazhvaar [maadhavaththOn padhigam]

 

See here guru mugamaai - as a teacher who taught - is a direct reference to

teaching of geetha

 

2 incidents referred here are very clear relating to maha bhaaratham

 

1. Marumagan than santhathiyai - the ward of abhimanyu - in the womb

of uththarai - later king parikshith - saved by none else than krishNa when

uththarai delivered the charred body - due to the paaNdava asthiram sent by

aswaththaama - krishna gave life to that charred portion - that "nithya

brahmachaari touch" gave life - uyir meettu.

 

2. Maiththunanmaar - the 5 paaNdavaas were saved from going down as

great sacrifice in the war with those kouravaas, when arjuna - the mainstay

of paandavaas refused to fight - he, the great lord of lords krishNa, became

a teacher in that war arena - to teach that greatest of great epic srimadh

bhagavath geethaa - gurumugamaaik kaaththaan.

 

That krishNa's place is here - it is srirangam.

PS: since madhavak kannan replied this query first, I wish to add

incidentally this padhigam also starts with "maadhavaththOn" . - that

relationship - maadhavan - govindhan - kannan has shown me this reference,

when I was going through the periyaazhvaar padhigams for a reference to my

on going series of govindhan gunam paaduthal.
