The Deeds of the Divine Feet

 

Having emotionally requested for the thiru-vaDi of the Almighty,

sriman nArAyaNA graced sri thirumangai mannan by directing him to the

thiruvarangam. "Here I am in thiruvarangam for your sake " .

 

Sri thirumangai AzhwAr proceeds to kOil and recalls the deeds of the Lord.

 

The Deeds of the Divine feet is recalled.

 

Sri krshNA felled kamsan and placed His divine feet on him and vanquished.

 

The wrestlers were beaten to ground and his divine feet brought them their end.

 

A delay in mother's milk made sri krshNA to elongate His little feet

to finish off the demon -sakaTAsuran.

 

All these three are described by sri kaliyan in a single sentence

highlighting the deeds of the divine feet of Lord sri krshNA.

 

"... kanjan nenjum, kaDum mallarum, sakaTamum,

kAlinAl thunja, chudar AzhiyAn vAzhidam enbarAl......" 5-4-7;

 

Here, the intense hatred and tenacity of kamsan's mind is highlighted by the word 'kanjan nenjum'.

 

How, come it can be said that even kamsan and the wrestlers are also

demolished by the divine feet, when it is known that the sakaTAsuran

is the one who was destroyed so?

 

kamsan was pulled by the hair and pushed down and the divine feet was

placed on his back. The wrestlers were bracketed by the same divine

feet. Therefore, AzhwAr mentions all these three as the divine deeds

of the divine feet.
