Dear All,

Known as MahAveeran, Raman was royal prince who was known for His

parAkramam. He was able to finish off thousands of rakshasas under

1.5 muhurta kalam. Raman's Thirumeni Azhaghu cannot be explained with

just words (called as AzhivannA by Kaliyan in describing His

Sousheelyam with Guhan in Ezhai Ethalan pathikam for Srirangam).

Here, Azhivannan not oly refers to complete thrumeni azhagu of Raman,

like thousands of pearls, but also His complete Kalyana Gunam

portrayed by His thirumeni itself. His thirumeni was full of marks

of arrows immediately after the battle was over. Sita thought that it

would not be possible to heal all those wounds on Raman’s thirumeni

with medicine. Hence, she embraced (Alanginam in sanskrit) Raman.

Immediately, all the marks and wounds on Raman’s thirumeni were gone.

Krishna made sure that He would not touch any of His DivyAyudhams

(weapons) until the battle was over. He stood by His words. He was

just having shangu and kOl (sattai) to run the chariot (we can refer

to one of the Azhwar’s pasurams, kollA mAkkOl…). In order to protect

Arjuna, Krishna took all the arrows on His thirumeni. His thirumeni

was full of marks at the end of the war. This time, Rukmini pirAtti

did not want to embrace Kannan. Had she done what she did in

RamAvatAram, we all could not have worshipped such a beautiful

thirumukha mandalam of Parthasarathy, the utsavar in Thiruvallikkeni.

In KrishnAvataram, Thayar had so much of KArunyam on us to ensure that

we all worship this unique beauty of Perumal as Parthasarathy.

PeyAzhwar, Thirumazhisai Azhwar and Thirumangai Azhwar have sung on

this Divya Desam. Let us start with Thirumangai Azhwar and end with

PeyAzhwar. In the second pathu of Periya Thrumozhi, Kaliyan has sung

10 pasurams covering all the Perumals in this Divya Desam. He starts

with the pasuram, virperu vizhavum. Kaliyan has interestingly

pictursied the kamsa vadham in this pasuram. When Kannan entered the

court of Kamsan, He first finished off the the elephant called

kuvalayApeetam. Then, He killed the pAgan (one who takes care of

elephant), and then Kamsan. Azhwar has reversed the order of killing

in this pasuram. How could it be possible? The reason is very simple.

Kannans’s activity of killing Kamsan was so spontaneous that it was

very difficult to make out who got killed first in the pipe line. It

seemed like everything happened instantaneously. Azhwar ends the

pasuram with the RamAvatAra anubhavam, saying that One who left the

kingdom to obey the order of sittrannai (Kaikeyi) is the One whom I

am worshipping as Venkata Krishnan in Thiruvallikkeni.

What ever form Perumal takes and which ever way He comes to this

earth, He is never less in His attributes. This aspect can be refrred

to the fouth chapter in Bhagat Gita where Kannan talks about His

avatAra rahasyam. Irrespective of His avatAram, He is always with

pArakramam.
