Thirumangai AzhwAr's ThirunedunthANdakam- 7th verse- oh mind! let us prostrate and pay our obeisance!

[Guest guest]

Sri:

SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

 

Dearest all,

 

AzhwAr who had enjoyed Trivikraman in His

vAmAnAvathAram and is the divya desam ThirukkOviloor,

has mentioned in this verse (7th) that the same

Trivikraman is the Kovalan, who took avathArams as

Rama, Krishna, Balaramam et al. Even in Periya

Thirumzohi, when he enlists the ten avathArams, he

mentions Hamsa avatharam in lieu of Balarama

avatharam. In the last verse, he mentions alam,

(halam), it may refer to the axe that was held by

Balarama avatharam.

When the mountains were flying and destroying the

lands and people, Devendra cut their wings. Some

mountains entered into the oceans and hid themselves.

The Deva sena pathi- the arm commander of Devas-

Subramanian, sent his sharp spear towards the ocean to

help Devednra and attack those mountains. He is so

strong. He supported along with his father, brother

and mother to bANAsuran when bAnan fought against

Krishna (as his daughter Usha was in love with

Krishna’s grand son Aniruddhan). Krishna chased them

all away and conquered them; later as per request of

Rudra, (on behalf of his devotee bANasura), spared his

(bANAsura’s) life and cut only his 1000 shoulders.

 

This Lord appeared as Parasurama, and then as

Chakravartthi Thirumagan Kothanda Rama, and then to

understand His SarvEshwarathvam and His graceful

presence at Thirukkoviloor as Trivikraman, Durga devi

is there to protect the place; she serves Him by doing

that role as her kainkarya. It is also to seek

forgiveness (as prayaschittham) for their apacharam in

bANAsura battle by the whole family of hers). (Periya

Thiruzhi 2-10-6 also refers to the same). Krishna is

the one who asked Durga to be born as Maayai and be

born in Nandhan’s place and be swapped with Himself to

Devaki’s place for letting kamsan know of His arrival.

Hence Durga has intense and great devotion for Kovalan

(KaNNan).
