Additional Comments on the YaadhavEndhra Tatthvam

*************************************************

The Yadhu clan arose from Chandran , His son Budhan

and then on to YayAthi and king Yadhu . VasudEvar who

married Devaki belongs to this Yadhu Vamsam .

KrishNa was born as the son of VasudEvar and Devaki

to destroy Kamsan (asuran KaalanEmi's rebirth )

and to perform many miracles as avathAra purushan.

The Lord's avathAram as YaadhavEndhran is saluted by

SrI NaarayaNIyam: " BhavAmi Yaadhava kulE sOham

samagrAthmanA" ( The Lord's words: I will incarnate in

the Yaadhava Kulam in my ParipoorNa Svaroopam to

destroy the kings like Kamsan , who terrorize

others on Earth).

 

Swamy Desikan has created one of the greatest Kaavyams

celebrated as YaadhavAbhudhyam . KrishNa is the IndhrA

( the famous ruler) of the Yaadhava vamsam. He is

the Yaadhava kula DhIpam and Tilakam .The other Indhran

( King of DevAs) performed Govindha PattAbhishEkam to

the Indhran of YaadhvAs to acknowledge the divinity of

KrishNa and His role as SarvEswaran. This was after

the Lord destroyed Indhran's power by lifting Govardhana

Giri and protected the terror-stricken GopAs and Gopis

as well as the cattle of Vraja BhUmi. The humiliated

Indhran brought the divine cow , KaamdhEnu , and performed

AbhishEkam for the Lord Govardana GiridhAri with

KaamadhEnu's milk. Indhran fell at the feet of

the YaadhavEndhran and saluted the Lord this way:

 

PithA Gurusthvam jagadhAmadhIsO

hithAya svEcchAtanubhi: samIhasE

mAnam vidhunvan-jagadhIsa-maaninAm

--SrImad BhAgavatham: X.27.6

 

Oh Lord! Thou art the father , AchAryan and

the ruler of this world. As the Emperor of

this world and its controller , Thou as

the wielder of Time punish the trespassers

of Your commands swiftly for the benefit of

the world. Thou incarnates in different forms

and engage in Your dhivya leelais to humble

those , who believe that they are the masters

of this world .

 

namas-Thubhyam BhagavathE PurushAya MahAthmanE

VaasudEvAya KrishNAya SaathvathAm PathayE Nama:

--SrImad BhAgavatham: X.27.9

 

Lord of Thirumalai is this YaadhavEndhran

(Venkata KrishNan )who is the Omniscient One .

He is the Divine PurushOtthaman , who has assumed

His form on top of the Saptha Giri out of His own

will and is of Suddha Satthva svaroopam.He is

the Jagath KaaraNan and is the AntharyAmi Brahman

for all chEthanams and achEthanams.
