Fictional Ferocity

 

koNda sERRam

 

Ferocity comes to one naturally as it is a part of our emotion. If

one is very soft and never gets perturbed? Then anger may not come.

This is seldom seen.

 

However, in case of sriman nArAyaNA wrath never wraps Him. Anger never

comes up. It cannot surface because it is never underneath.

 

Now, a question comes up. If anger does not spring naturally how come

the Lord vanquishes and demolish the enemies within no time? How come

He slains the asurAs and demons mercilessly. Here again thirumangai

AzhwAr comes up with a ready made answer. The Lord takes up the

ferocity for the sake of devotees. He adapts the anger to suit the

situation. He adopts the temerity temproarily to fulfill the desires

of His devotees.

 

Here the srE-vachana bhUshana sUthram "Eswaran avatharithu seiyyum

Anaith thozhilgaL ellAm bhAgavatha apachAram poRamaiyAlE" should be

kept in mind. The Lord comes into this world and does all the deeds

as He cannot tolerate His devotees being insulted/harmed-bhAgavatha

abachAram.

 

The crocodile caught hold of the elephant gajEndrAzhwAn. gajEndrAzhwAn

wanted to do servcie to the Lord. The Lord took upon Him the anger and

ferocity;

 

"kadi kOl pUm pozhi kAmaru poigai vaigu thAmaria vAngiya vEazhum

mudiyum vaNNam ore muzhu vali mudhalai paRRa,

maRRAdhu nin charaN ninaippa, kodiya vAi vilangin vuyir malanga -koNDa sERRAm..." 5-8-3;
