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) : YasOdhA got the

ultimate happiness in her life by bringing you up. She

was so fortunate to witness so much of leelas and

pranks by the Emperumaan, Kutti KaNNan.

The freshly made butter is in the pot; You entered

into the room and took the butter out with Your small

hands; You were caught red handed (white handed); You

were found licking your hands after dipping it in that

pot of butter; When you were beaten with a rope on

your small and soft hand, you were standing with a

guilty look; your beautiful red lips were quivering;

you were apologizing with folded hands; Yashoda who

saw all these expressions from You with her own eyes

realized the Paratvam and enjoyed eternal bliss. Oh

She is so most fortunate.

 

[When The Lord was born Vasudeva and Devaki are

overwhelmed and praise their little darling].

Continuing from the earlier verse (tamadbhutham)

 

Mother DEvakI eulogized Her child , the Lord this way

:

 

rUpam yath tath prAhu: avyaktham aadhyam

Brahma jyOthirnirguNam nirvikAram I

satthAmAthram nirvisEsham nirIham

sa tvam SaakshAth Vishnu: adhyAthm adhIpa:

---Srimadh BhAgavatham : 10.3. 24

 

(Meaning ) : O my child ! Thou art truly

MahA VishNu , the divine light , what the sages

describe as the primordial , the unmanifest ,

the giganatic , the effulgent light beyond the

three guNAs , the eternal , the purest ,

changeless and the desireless one .

 

Devaki recognizes Her divine child as the master

of PrakruthI and the principle behind the whole

time doctrine and the driver of the Kaala chakram

serving as the basis of the dynamics of the Universe .

She is overwhelmed by the magnitude of this concept

and recognizes her child as the JagadhAdhAran and

performs prapatthi to that divine child {

--MahIyAmstham thvEsAnam KshEma dhAma PrapadhyE ).

 

Devaki continues with her salutations and reveals

His avathAra rahasyam this way : " That Thou , who

bearest the whole universe within Thyself at the time

of Thy cosmic sleep , hast been born of my womb

(mama garbhagOabhUdhahO ) is only Thy imitation

of human ways to hide Thy identity . [by Sri Satakopan

Swami]
