Post 2

 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In post 1 we saw the beautiful addressing of my krishNa as sundhara by two, one

the would be consort rukmiNee, eventually the wife, and second an ascetic

naaraayaNa theertha. Now we can see same address "jagan mOhana" by another

bhakthaa. See here krithi of oothukkadu venkata subbu iyer where sri krishNa is

also addressed "sundhara".

 

Raagam: mOhana

thaLam: aadhi thaaLam

 

pallavi:

jagan mOhana sundhara anga

dhrutha ratha anga karuNaapaanga

sarasa kalyaaNa guNa madhura lalitha saahasa

mrudhu mandhahaasa mukha -- jagan

 

meaning: oh krishNa, who entices the world by your charm, who has a beautiful

body, or Mr. Body beautiful, one who supports a part of a chariot, [means one

who supports the wheel the sudharsana chakra], one who pours sympathy through

the edge of the eye, a lake of good characteristics, having gentle playful

acts, one who has a smiling soft gentle face.

 

anupallavi:

nigamaata vishya kaantha charitha nirupamaana

manOllaasa kara leelaamrutha thunga gOpeejana

 

meaning: the one who is the roaming substance in vEdhaas, the hero of history

incomparable, the heart throb of gOpees and playful nectar of them.

 

charanam:

santhajana manO ramaNa chidhvilaasa dhayaakara mahOthsava ranjana

chinthaneeya thaneeya neeya tha yatha para samsaara ghOra bhaya haraNa

 

meaning: the one who delights the minds or hearts of ascetics, who expands the

mind, outpouring the sympathy to all, who likes celebrations, minutely entering

nectar who thinks thoroughly or investigates so thoroughly, one who removes or

destroys the dreaded fear of the samsaara- the life.

 

Let us go back to the aazhvaar who turned himself as mother yasOdha to enjoy

krishNa as his/her son - see he also addresses 'sundhara'

 

kaayaa malar niRavaa, karumugil pOl

uruvaa kaanaga maamaduvil

kaaLiyan uchchiyilE thooya nadam

payilum sundhara en siRuvaa ----

1-5-6 periyaazhvaar

 

meaning: oh the blue lily coloured, having body as the black cloud, who learns

the art of pure dancing on the crown hoods of kaaliyan the deadly snake the

beauty personification, my young lad ---

 

This address of "sundhara" was heard by krishNa, when he was an adult, and that

too in the war field, near the arrow bed of bheeshma, when he recited the great

sri vishNu sahasra naamam.

Naama 797 is "sundhara:" in slOkam 85 "udhBhava: sundhara: sundha:" - meaning-

beauty personified.

 

I just cannot add any comments at this stage, since the beauty of my krishNa the

sundharan overwhelms my mind. So please excuse me, Dear bhakthaas, and meditate

on the beauty of such a lord krishNa.

 

Dhasan
