yasOdhA to Lord krshNA

vangEpurathu nambi to Sri rAmAnujA

 

Neither aruLicheyal of AzhwAr-s nor their vyAkyAnam-s of pUrvAchAryAs

are exaggerations or imaginations. They are emancipation of emotions.

 

 

The vyAkyAnam-s are felt and experienced and understood from various

incidents from the life of our AchAryAs.

These are then sweetly brought out by vyAkyAna karthAs for better understanding.

 

Lord krishNA who is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of one and

all, was caught in the act of picking up butter and was tied to the

vural. The Lord on seeing yAsOdhA wept, tears rolling out from His

tender eyes and had to undergo the punishment--AppuNDu.

 

Is it possible? The supreme Lord being so silent and subservient to one of the jEvAthmAs?

Or is it just an emotional narration?

 

vangEpurathu nambi was requesting vudayavar to teach him

thiru-ArAdhanam for quite some time. Due to some reason or other this

was not done.

 

One day, Sri rAmAnujA started teaching thiruvArAdhanam to AzhwAn and

sri hanumath dhAsar. Suddenly, emerged therein vangEpurathu nambi.

vudayavar felt guilty on two counts. Having been requested, he should

have taught him this. At least, this day when he was teaching others,

he should have called him for the study. Hence, he felt extremely

embarrassed and delicate. The great Sri rAmAnujA feeling guilty and

shy in front of his own disciples.

 

Here came the flash to Sri rAmAnujA. If this is possible, this should

have been the case with Lord krshNA. Similar to this fashion that

should also have occurred. Therefore, more than emotional narrations,

these experiences do explain to us the full import of pAsuram-s and

happenings to be seen in the right perspective.

 

This very incident has been described by Sri periyavAchAn piLLai in

the vyAkyAnam for the thirumozhi pAsuram, where thirumangai AzhwAr

narrates Lord krshNA bursting aloud with sobs when caught stealing

butter.

 

The pAsuram.

 

"oLiyA veNNai vuNDAn enRu vuralOdAichi on kayiRRAl, viLiyA Arka AppuNdu vimmi azhudhAn" 6-7-4;

 

and there goes another incident being narrated in thriumozhi.
