Dear Sri Mks,

BTW, can you find the following NammAzhwAr pAsuram from this Vaishnava site?

It starts as "kedumidarAya vellAm kEsavA yennALum".

I understand it is in the 'ThiruvAi mozhi'.

Tx.

 

 

anbudan,

Dear SrI MKS:

 

The famous Paasuram dealing with the EmperumAn of

ThiruvahIndhrapuram have a special significance

to rasikAs of Dhivya prabhandham (Sacred Collect )

of Swamy NammAzhwAr.

 

This Paasuram (3085 in the 4000 Dhivya prabhandham

count ) is housed as ThiruvAimozhi.10.2.1

 

kedumidarAyavellAm KESAVAvenna , nALum

koduvinai seyyum kooRRin tamarkaLum kuruhahillAr

vidamudaiyaravil paLLi virumbhinAn surumbalaRRum

tadamudai vayal Ananthapura nagar PUHUTHUM INRE

 

This is the first of the ten paasurams on

Thiruvananthapuram , who points out the importance

of this dhivya desam and the significance of reciting

the Naamam of KesavA in this paasuram for Moksham .

 

Swamy NammazhwAr instructs us in His AchAryan's

role to utter the name of Kesavan , a celebrated name of

Lord KrishnA. On utterance , all the ills , griefs

and sins (kodu vinaikaL yellAm ) will be banished

and the servants of Yama (Yama DhUtharkaL ) will

run away from You .Let us start on our yAthrai

to Thiruvanathapuram to worship the Kesava Anantha-

Padmanaabhan TODAY There He is resting on His soft

bed of AadhisEshA amidst the ponds and rice paddy fields ,

where the bees/nithya sooris perfrom Kesava nAma

sankIrthanam . Any interference to the iniitative to

start on the journey to Thiruvananthapuram itself

will be destroyed by the utterance of Kesava nAmam.

You do not even need to know the deep meanings

of this Naamam. Just recite this specail name of the lord

says Swamy NammAzhwAr.

 

Swamy AlavanthAr did just that and was totally

lost in the enjoyment of the glories of the Lord of

Thiruvananthapuram and in that process forgot to

return home in time to keep His appointment to

be iniitated in to His Kula dhanam of Yoga rahasyam

from His grandfather NaaTa Muni's Sishyar. PerumAL

of Thiruvanantha puram adequately compensated for

that loss.

 

The slOkams quoted from VishNu PurANam and MahA Bharatham

to infrom us about the greatness of Kesava Naamm are:

 

YasmAth thvayaiva dhushtAthmA hatha: kEsI JanArdhana:

TasmAth KesavanAmA thvam lOkE khyAthO bhavishyasi

--VishNu PurANam

 

NarakE pasyamAnAsthu YamEna paribhAshitha:

kim thvayA naarchithO Deva: Kesava: klesanAsana:

--BhAratham

 

Kesava Naama sankIrthanam is thus recommended

for freedom from klEsams in this world and to

prepare one for Moksha Praapthi.This is the Upadesam

of Swamy NammazhwAr as he hastens towards SrI Vaikuntam

and takes leave of selected dhivya dEsa EmperumAns

in the last centum of ThiruvAimozhi,
