Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 srI:srImathE rAmAnujAya nama: thirukkOLUrammAL vArththaigaL(thirukkOLUr peNpiLLai rahasyam) 10. mudhaladiyaip peRREnO agaligaiyaip pOlE mudhaladi refers to the Lord's divine feet. Gauthama maharishi's wife was named Ahalya. Hearing about her great beauty, Indra became enamored with her. When Gauthama maharishi went to the river to take a bath, he took the rishi's form and approached Ahalya; and she allowed herself to be used by him. Before Indracould leave, Gauthama rishi came back and saw him. He cursed Indrathat he would lose his masculinity. He also cursed Ahalya "You willbecome an atom within the ashes in the ashrama (some stories state that she was cursed to be a stone) and perform penance for a thousand years. At that time Sriman Narayana will be born as Sri Rama and will be brought here by Vishvamitra. You will be released by the touch of His divine feet and then can join me". Gauthama rishi then left the place. After a thousand years, Vishvamitra rishi took Rama to his place for the protection of his yaga. After the completion of the yaga, he took Rama to Mithila. On the way, he brought Him to Gauthama's ashrama. By the touch of His feet, Ahalya's curse was removed and she became pure. Gauthama rishi also came there at that time and accepted her. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Do I have the great fortune of gainingthe touch of the Lord's divine feet like Ahalya did?"
