True to His Devotee

 

It is said that we shoud to be true to ourselves, true to our

teachers, true to our parents and true to the Lord.

 

But, here the fact that the Lord is true to His devotee is emphasised by kaliyan.

"adivaRku meyyan" -"dhevanAyakan". This aspect is succinctly brought forth by our Sadagopan swAmi.

a" (Maayavan) adiyArkku meyyanAhiya Dhaiva Naayakan idam ".Here

Kaliyan points out that the place of residence of this MaayAvi is

ThriuvahIndhrapuram. He also performsmangaLAsAsanam for the Lord of

Thiruvaindhai as (1)AdiyArkku Meyyan and (2) Dhaiva Naayakan .As

Adiyaarkku Meyyan , Our Lord went as the Messengerfor the PaaNdavAs

and also served as the Charioteer forArjunA and heeded the commands

of ArjunA in the battlefield. At the end of the day , He washed the

horsesand pressed them with His own hands and got them ready for the

next day's battle.What a soulabhyamthat he displayed then !AdiyArkku

Meyyan is the translation of the SanskritNaamam : "Natha Sathyan". He

is true to His adiyArs .He never fails them . He never lets them down

befititngHis other name : Achyuthan. He is easily accessible toHis

adiyArs and is most difficult of access to others.Thrice , SrI

VishNu SahasranAmam salutes Himas " SatyAya nama:" .He is the Satya

sandhan according to MahA BHAratha slOkam (69.12.13):" KrishNa is

rooted in Satyam and Satyam is rootedin KrishNa" (SatyE prathistitha:

as Dhaiva Naayakanor the Lord of all gods . He came to the rescue

ofdEvAs in response to their prayers and took many avathArams to
