Kulasekara AzhwAr PerumAL Thirumozhi- 7.4- I missed all your childhood pranks, Krishna

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

 

Dearest All,

 

AzhwAr pours out his grief for not being able to enjoy

the Kutti KaNNan (in Devaki’s role). He cries out

through the media of Devaki by simulating emotions

motherly tenderness to the child.

 

AzhwAr feels (in the Devaki role) “I have missed all

Your childhood pranks, Krishna..”

AzhwAr enjoys the beauty of Krishna.

 

Oh Krishna, I now enjoy Your sight as the handsome

Young man with the most beautiful full moon like

brightest face, the strong yet tender and soft long

hands, the wide broad chest, strong shoulders, the

tender leaf and dark flowers-like black curls of

tresses fall on the forehead which is like the

beautiful crescent moon, the large well laid out wide

eyes resembling that of red lotus petals, the dark

tender eyebrows, and I drink all these collective

beauty of Yours now; But I grieve for not having had

the pleasure of seeing and enjoying Your beauty as a

little child at that age when the infant can not

recognize anyone except its mother as its own mother..

How can I endure this life, Krishna?

 

How unfortunate I have been that I did not have the

opportunity to see you in your childhood when a child

does not leave its mother? Being cheated thus, sinner

that I am, I cannot bear this life.

 

Let us enjoy Krishna’s beauty when He was born.

---Srimadh Bhaagavatham : 10.3.9

 

[From Sri Satakopan Swami’s article] Lotus-eyed,

four-armed, adorning the conch , mace and other divya

aayudhams , the newly born child had the shining

Srivathsam birth mark on its chest and the effulgent

KousthubhA gem around its neck. The beautiful child

had a golden yellow cloth around its waist and had the

hue of the dark blue cloud of the rainy season. The

father VasudEvA saw the beautiful black, curly tresses

of hair on the child's head , a diadem , ear rings

containing precious gem stones , bracelets on its arms

, armlets and golden waist girdle . The luminous

appearance of this beautiful and extraordinary child

with all the alankArams , aabharaNams and natural

beauty are described in the above slOka. Let us enjoy

next sloka in next post.
