In the kali yuga, bhoomi piratti took avatara as godha devi, daughter

of Sri vishnuchittar, periazhvar. Bhoomi piratti took avatara under

a tulasi plant in the garden of Sri Vishnuchittar at Srivilliputtur.

 

Sri Parthasarathi emperuman, delivered the bhagavat geetha to arjuna

amidst the warfield and explained the upAya svaroopam to the world.

Sri BharatAzhvan showed the upEya svaroopam. Sri Andal nAchiyar

without much difficulty explained both these in simple words in her

thiruppAvai. She started her prabhandam with “nArAyananE namakkE

parai tharuvAn” and ended with “vunakkE nAm AtseivOm maRRainam

kAmangal mARRU”

 

Sri Krishna in his vibhavAvatara tried to uplift the jeevatmas with

his great words, the bhagavat geetha but failed to do the same since

even arjuna couldn’t remember the same after sometime. So he was

forced to take another archAvatara as thiruvEnkatamudaiyan to

establish the same arthas through abhinayams (dance posture). We see

today that multimedia presentations and visual graphics spread message

more easily than just theoretical writings. The same was done by

thiruvEnkatamudaiyan. He landed to thirumalai, a place common to

both the nithya sooris and mannulagavAsis (people of this world) and

showed his feet with his right hand (“mAm Ekam charanam vraja”).

Again we people liked his beauty and taking all sorts of boons from

him but didn’t understand the inner meaning of his posture. Then

emperuman thought “Oh! During the bharata yuddha when arjuna wanted

to see the vishvaroopa darisanam I first gave him the divya chakshus

(divine eyes) and then only was he able to rightly see me. Similarly

I have to do something to these mandha jeevatmas to realize the

importance of my posture” What did emperuman do?

 

He decided to come even down only for the sake of these mandha

jeevatmas who feel lazy even to climb the seven hills. He came to

brindAranya kshetram (brindavanam of archa Krishna) as Krishna.

Since he came down by venkatam he is called venkata Krishnan. Here

he did two extra things. First he gave darshan with just 2 hands

indicating that he was so easily accessible since he also has only 2

hands like all of us. Then he held a conch in his right hand. For

what? Blowing it like in bharata yuddha? No since no duriyOdhana or

party is going to come to his sannadhi now. This sanghu is to give

jnanam to innocent people like druva. Druva was a 7-year kid he did

great penance to see the lord. Emperuman came in front of him due to

acharya krupai (Narada was druva’s acharya). But the kid didn’t even

know to do stotra to the lord. So emperuman touched the cheek of the

child with his sankam and gave him the divya jnanam. We are all kids

in front of the lord like druva who don’t even know to say a single

stotra. If we like druva pray, “Oh! Lord adiyen is so small

(innocent/jnana heenan) that adiyen doesn’t even know to sing a

stotra in front of you” emperuman will touch us with the sankam with

love and immediately show his other hand that instructs us to fall to

his feet. If we fall to his feet then the adisesha under emperuman’s

feet will show us that our ultimate goal is only kainkaryam.

 

So emperuman from thiruvenkatam landed in thiruvallikeni as

Venkatakrishnan showing both his jnana poorthi and beauty as a

warrior (paratva, sowlabhyangal). Will bhoomi piratti who cried in

her nAchiyar thirumozhi to put her under the divine feet of

thiruvenkatamudaiyan “Venkatavarkkennai vidhikkiRReyE” and did a

great mArghazhi nOmbu (“vil peru vizhavu”) to attain krishnAnubhavam

miss the opportunity to enjoy Venkatakrishnan? No, that is why she

also took a archAvataram and landed here as the consort of

Parthasarathi emperuman. The divine truth is that in the

vibhavAvatara, Krishna gave importance to Sridevi and neeladevi

nAchiyars as seen earlier but now in archai thirukkalyAnam of

Parthasarathi is only with godha devi (Bhoomi piratti). Another

important aspect in thiruvallikeni is that unlike thirumalai rukmani

piratti gives darshan right at the side of the moolavar here. So we

get the purushakAram of piratti always. So in this temple we can

straightly go to parthasarthi sannadhi without any hesitation.

 

Since adiyen is enjoying the divine darshan of Sri rukmani sametha Sri

Venkatakrishnan and Sri Andal sametha Sri Parthasarathi emperuman

daily that too in a place named brindAranyan (brindAvanam) where even

today we are able to visualize a number of cows enjoying with Krishna

adiyen added this archAvatara anubhavam in this series. Though our

concentration from here on will be only on the vibhavAvatara godhA

piratti (pattarbiran kOdhai) who gave the two divine prabhandams

ThiruppAvai and Nachiyar thirumozhi both to establish two important

aspects of Srivaishnava siddhAntham.
