SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

 

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

There are very many vibhava avathArams and one can

meditate on any avathAram of Sriya: Pathi Sriman

Narayanan. However, if one wonders that there are no

such vibhava avathArams now and where shall we go..,

AzhwAr says: There are Dhivya Desams like

TiruvEmkatam- that archA mUrthy alone is the refuge...

kaalan^Emi yaikkadinthu,

udainthavaali thanpinukku

thavavanthi raamanaay,

adainthamaala paathamE

yadainthun^aaLu muymminO (81)

 

Reclining on the Milky ocean that was once churned;

having killed kAla nEmi asurA; having

sent one arrow through seven trees effortlessly

[during rAmAvathAram] with an intent to prove his

valour to Sugreevan- Vaali's brother- at Rishyamukha

moutain where Sugreevan was living to help him; - Such

Greatest Lord is now at ThirumEnkatam- Be devoted to

His Lotus feet alone; and be saved all days...

 

The Lord who was reclining peacefully on the Milky

ocean on AdhisEshan bed, heeding to the

prayers of Devas, got out of His place, bed, and even

helped them in all sorts to churn the

ocean to get nectar (amudham) for them. He had never

even thought "this is where I am reclining; why should

I get out? When churned, it would spoil the milk;

there will be bad smell

arising out even; Will that be later Milky ocean? " He

never though of all of these and

immediately came forward to be Parama upakArakan- as

He usually is. That is why He is THE LORD.

 

Valli's brother was living in fear (from Vaali) at

Rishyamukha parvatham and Rama and Lakshamana went

there while searching for Sita PiraaTTi. When

Sugreevan was suspicious of Rama'a valour Rama,

effortlessly sent one arrow through seven trees to

prove His skill.

 

Some comment that seven refers to seven oceans, seven

kula parvadhams (moutains) and seven pAthALa lOkam

also. Sri KooratthAzhwAn had mentioned: saalaamsCha

saptha sagirIna sarasAthaLAn ya: Even here, seven

mountains and seven pAthALA are not referred to and

hence it may not be appropriate to refer to.

 

Be devoted to the divine lotus feet of the Lord

Thiruvenkatamudaiyaan and All days- be saved.

OR it may also mean: AT least one day go there and

surrender to His Lotus feet and be saved...
