RARE ANECDOTES (1)

 

In their works, the Alwars have referred the great

Epics of Srimadh Ramayanam, Maha Bharatham, and

Srimadh Bhagavatham in several places. They have

transformed themselves into the particular character

and explained the entire episodes. Though all such

verses have the exact reference of the great epics, in

certain places they have not been supported by the

actual explanations. In view of innumerable blessings

of Bhagavan on them, the Alwars could experience those

episodes. In this mail I am trying to share those

verses with our honourable members. Needless to note

that our Acharyas have also explained them in their

commentaries.

 

Sri Periyalwar, in his work in the 2nd century, 7th

division, 8th song, makes a direct reference, which

runs as under.

‘O Ranganatha, Please come and adorn the IRUVATCHI

flower garland without any delay. In spite of your

repeated warnings to SRIMAALIKAN in a friendly manner,

he was adamant to hold the Disc(chakra) in his hand.

Finally he was disposed with the same chakra as the

Chakra is the divine weapon and an ornament, which

will not allow any unwanted elements to survive.

 

Likewise, in his work in the 3rd century, 10th

division, 2nd song, 3rd line, Sri Periyalwar tries to

speak through SIRIYA THIRUVADI (Hanumar).

 

In Srimadh Ramayanam, in the Sundara Kandam Division,

Perumal, while giving the Ring to Thiruvadi, narrates

certain identifications with a request to pass on the

same to Thayar. Alwar says that while both perumal

and Thayar were in their private hall, during a

particular night, perumal threw a jasmine garland on

thayar out of joy. This information he preferred to

convey to Thayar.

 

Kindly permit me to present some more in my next mail

Dear Sri Madhavan,

 

If I am not mistaken (correct me If I am wrong),

narration of Sri Rama giving the ring to Sri Hanuman

is in Kishkindha Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, not in

Sundara Kanda as stated above.

 

Bala.
