Dear SrI Sudarsana BhakthAs:

 

We will continue with the rest of the Paasurams of

ThiruvAimozhi 7.4 in this posting.

 

TVM:7.4.6

Aaazhthyuar seythasuraraik-kollumARE

 

In this paasuram , the HiraNya samhAram is seen by

Swamy NammazhwAr.HirNyan was like a mountain.Our Lord

appeared like a ferocious and mighty lion that sat on

the top of that mountain and tore it in to two pieces.

The time when that it happened was the sandhyA kaalam .

The blood from the torn body of huge Hiranyan for

bhAgavathApachAram flowed like a red flood

and heightened the red color of the sandhyA kaalam .

Our Lord appeared instantly to save His ardent devotee,

who had MahA VisvAsam in Him . As Eedu says, " anAdhi

kAlam Bhagavath BhAgavatha vishaygaLilE paNNip-pOntha

prAthikoolyam adaya arai kshaNatthilE anubhavitthu

aRRapadi". HiraNyan had committed Bhagavath-BhAgavatha

apachArams (prAthikoolyams) for aeons . All of

that , the Lord made HiraNyan pay in half a second

and destroyed HiraNyan." The divine Father, the Father of

ALL , came and achieved the victory and served His devotee "

in that time of need . AzhwAr hails that victory in this

paasuram.

 

TVM: 7.4.7

**********

AzhwAr is now presented with the Sevai of

Vijaya Raaghavan destroying the assemblies of

RaakshasAs at Lankai and displaying His unmatched

valour:

 

mARu niRaitthu iraikkum sarangaL, ina

nooRu piNam malai pOl puraLa , kadal

aaRu madutthu uthirap-punalA, Appan

neeRu pada Ilankai seRRa nErE

 

The powerful arrows of VeerarAghavan are

whizzing in a stream from all directions ;

the mountains of corpses of slain asurAs

piled up in the battle field. Rivers of blood

from the slain asurAs flew like rivers and

reached th ocean and made it red.Lanka was reduced

to ashes from the fiery arrows of the Lord.

Swamy NammAzhwAr hails this majestic and

righteous victory of Lord Raamachandra in

the battle field of LankA .

 

TVM 7.4.8

**********

Swamy NammAzhwAr is blessed next with the sevai

of Lord in His KrishNAvathAram battling BaaNAsuran.

Lord KrishnA cut off all but four arms of the 1000

armed asuran , chased away Agni, Sivan and SubrahmaNyan ,

who came to the rescue of their friend , BaanAsuran.

Swamy NammAzhwAr sees the friends of BaaNAsuran

running from the battle field as a result of their

inability to stand up to the power of KrishNA's

weapons . Swamy NammAzhwAr describes BhANan as

the one , who deviated from righteousness (nEr sari

BaaNan) and shows us the flight of the freinds of BaaNan

from the battle field ( MukkaNN moorthy nEr sarinthAn

kaNDeer). They fell at the feet of KaNNan and protected

themseleves and their client (BaaNan) and grew VishNu

Bhakthi in BaaNan and thus saved him . AzhwAr hails

the victory of Lord KrishNa in this paasuram .

 

TVM 7.4.9

**********

So far through 8 paasurams , AzhwAr hailed

the Aasritha RakshaNam of the Lord and the valor

He showed during those occasions. In the ninth

paasuram , AzhwAr salutes the Srushti MahAthmyam

of the Lord as Sarva SwAmi. With the sheer power of

His sankalpam , our Lord created the world through

samashti srushti. Vyashti srushti followed and Brahma

Devan was created now to carry on the avAnthara

srushti every day during his term of office.

 

anRu maNN neererikAl viNN malai mudhal

anRu sudar iraNDu piRavum , pinnum

anRu mazhai uyir dEvum maRRum , Appan

anRu mudhal ulaham seythathumE

 

Ulaham seytha samAcharatthai AzhwAr inghu vivarikkirAr.

Appan ( Sarva Swamy) created all (Earth, Water, Fire,

wind , Sky , Mountains , the Sun and the Moon and

Jeevan , dEvAs and the rest) at a time , when none existed

with the sheer power of His sankalpam. Brahma took

over form there with the help of vedic instructions

given by the Lord and continued with Vyashti srushti.

 

TVM: 7.4.10

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

mEy nirai keezh puha maa puraLa , sunai

vaai niRai neer piLIric-choriya, ina

aanirai paadi-angE-odunga , Appan

thee mazhai kAtthuk-kunRamedutthAnE

 

Now , AzhwAr has the vision of the Lord

as Govardhana Giridharan. At the time of

the fury of IndhrA , which led to his sending

ferocious and destructive hails over AaypAdi,

Our Lord lifted the Govardhana hill and

held it with His little finger as an umbrella

and protected the citizens of AaypAdi and

all the calves and cows . The Sarva Swamy

protcted the AaypAdi and its population from

the thunderous rains sent by Indhra and

destroyed the arrogance of Indhran. What

a feat it was says Swamy NammazhwAr after

being blessed with the sEvai of Govardhana

GiridhAri.

Swamy NammazhwAr instructs us here through this

Phala sruthi Paasuram that any one , who masters

this decad will be blessed with victory in all

their endeavours by Appan ( sarvaasrayaNeeya Swami).

AzhwAr states that he had attained a state of Tanmayathvam

( OnRi ninRa SaThakOpan) with the Lord over the sevais

illustrating Appan's Vijaya SrI and instructs us that

the Sarva Sulabha aasritha rakshakan will bless us

with victory (venRi tarum) in all their endeavours ,

when they master this decad of Paasurams celebrating

the Appan's aasritha rakshaNam .
