March 6, 2004

Dear BhakthAs :

Today , we will study 26th paasuram of Mey Viratha Maanmiyam

covering the Chathur Yuga vara pradhathvam of Lord VaradarAjan ,

the Emperor of boon-grantors , who grants boons in every one of

the four yugams without fail .

233. The Lord granting Varams (Boons) in all four yugams

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

aadhi yugatthu Ayan kaNdida ninRa aruL Varadhar

kaathal uyarntha kaLiRRai ThrEthayil kaatthu aLItthu

vaadhu uyar Deva guruvukku irangi DhvAparatthil

sOthi Ananthan klaiyil thozhuthu yezha ninranaRE

(Meaning): During the Krutha yugam (Aadhi yugam) , Bhagavan appeared as

Lord VaradarAjan and blessed Brahma Devan with His darsanam .He became

therfore "Ayan KanDida ninRa aruL Varadhan ". He became the merciful boon-

granting aruL Varadhan in Krutha yugam .During the next Yugam (ThrEthA ) ,

Lord VaradarAjan became Gajendhra Varadhan by saving His devotee , the king

of elephants, from sure destruction by the crocodile that grabbed GajEndhran

by the leg. VaradarAjan rushed on the back of Garudan and sent His

chakrAyudham to destroy the offending crocodile and saved the king of

elephants , which had performed SaraNAgathi to Him . Lord VaradarAjan

revealed here the vaibhavam of His BhagavathAs and demonstrated His aruL

Varadha tatthvam . Swamy Desikan summarizes this act of rakshakthvam of

the Lord as " Kaathal uyarntha KaLiRRai ThrEthayil kAtthu aLitthu".

In the third yugam ( DhvApara yugam) , Brahaspathi , the Deva guru suffered

a lot from the curse recieved from an offended Maharishi and was born as a

poor Brahmin on earth . This suffering Brahmin (Bruhaspathy) followed the

advice of

Sage BharadhwAja and worshipped Lord VaradarAjan at Kaanchi and became

the beneficiary of the grace of "aruL Varadhan". In the fourth yugam

(present Kali yugam ) , " aruL Varadhan " is blessing Aadhi Seshan ,

who lives near the temple tank ( Anantha Saras) . Thus in every yugam ,

Lord VaradarAjan grants boon to thsoe , who sought Him as refuge .

He blesses all those , who climb Hasthi Giri to come and worship Him.
