Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Dear Sri Rajagopalan swami, Sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr has also referred to the episode of 'GantA karnan' in one of the eighteen works-= thathva sEkaram= The discussion is regarding shivA wanting a boon from Lord krshNA to obtain a boon from himself. Accordingly, sri krishNA approahed shivA and requested for a child. shivA excalimed "lo! here is the creator of all the worlds and He is asking for a child" . 'kaLvA! emmaiyum Ezhulagum nin-uLLEa thORriya iRaiva" enRu veL yEARAn..." thiru voi mozhi. The discussion now veers around that is not a person seeking a boon is subject to kArmic effects. For this the episode of 'GantA karnan' is referred. On return from meeting shiva and obtaining the boon, sri krshNA grants salvation to 'GantA karnan' . When somebody is able to grant mOksham, how can he be subject to kArmic effect is the logic raised. The point here is that the Lord has obtained the boon just to fulfill the assurance given to shivA earlier. dAsan vanamamalai padmnabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
