12. mAyan : This is inherent gunA of the Lord and he got many such

praises during Krishna avatAram as poyyan, kaLvan, sUdhan. Almost

all azhwars have sung about his mAyam. Swamy Nammazhwar "ariyA

kalathuLe adimai kaN anbu seivithu, ariyA mAmAyathul adiyEnai

vaithAyal" and praises that his mAyam is such that without even the

azhwAr knowing, Lord has entered his mind, just like in vAmanA

avathAram, where even without the realisation of mahAbali, the Lord

measured all the worlds.

 

But, AndAL here praises the mAyam, Lord did to nithya sUrIs. She uses

the nAmA before Lord reached madura (mannu vada madura maindhan). In

nitya mandalam "tad vishnOhO paramam padagum sadhA pashyanti

sUrayaha" nitya surIs always have darshan without any interruption.

Though there is no time factor in nithya mandalam, the Lord came to

madura during dUpa aradhanai when smokes emanated and his avatAram

was a flick of eyes for them.

 

AndAl uses the namam mA mAyan in later pasuram as how he entered back

into nithya mandalam after the completion of his avataram. We shall

see when that pasuram comes.

 

The next nAmA 13 appears in pasuram 5 - "vada madura maindhan",

sowseelyam of the Lord. (to be continued)
