Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, sankuthanku mun_kain^ankai konkaithanka luRRavan, ankamanka vanRusenRa darththeRintha vaazhiyaan, konkuthanku vaar_kuzhalma danthaimaar_ku dainthan^eer, ponkuthaNku danthaiyuLki danthapuNda reekanE! (57) He is the Lotus eyed One- Lord of Thirukkudanthai Divya Desam – where Cool River flows [wherein good fragrant long haired women take sacred bath]. He is the Lord [those days] who aimed divine chakrA to cut and destroy the one whose mind desired [lustily for] the breast of the most divine Periya PiraaTTi, wearing bangles in her resplendent hands. Some scholars say that this pAsuram [first two lines] refer to RamavathAram. rAvaNan’s ten heads strength was mentioned in last verse. In this verse his most cruellest asahyApachAram (act of terrible grave blunder) of desiring for PiraaTTi is mentioned. Angered on his daring thought and act, the Lord had sent “the chakrA” [Aazhi” ] to kill the raakshasa. AzhwAr says “yeRindha aazhiyaan”. Where does chakrA come in Ramayana? One may wonder. All weapons are chakrA’s amsa can be a justification. Or it can mean also the arrow sent by Rama [who is aazhiyaan- ChakratthAn- the one who holds ChakrA- i.e. mahAvishnu] Or since Rama avathAram has already been touched upon in the last verse (56), here it may mean KrishnAvathAram. SisupAlan longed desirously for Rukmini piraTTi and he was killed by the Lord aiming chakrA on his head when he {sisupAla) continued to tell names on KrishnA. The most fragrant long haired women take sacred bath in the river without even bothering about their hair getting spoiled by the bathing… They are so devoted to Thirukkadanthai maal. Also scholars say: madanthai means: ladies at Paramapadham- they come down to Thirukkudanthai for paying their obeisance to perumAL.
