Dearest All,

 

In the sixth decad, Kulasekara AzhwAr assumes the role

of different milk maids (Gopikas) and conveys the

feeling of anger caused by the misbehaviour of Krishna

with regard to his affairs with other Gopikas. In the

words of Milkmaids, AzhwAr complains in this decad.

 

These special Rama Krishna avathArams have got a

sociality in them. The Sarvagnan,

SarvEshwaran, Sarva shakthan, the Supreme Lord- who is

unparalleled and Peerless- who has none equal to or

above Him… oppAril appan- ParamAthmA- PurushOtthaman-

Jagath kaarNanan; Jagath rakshakan- The Only One who

could grant mOksham [mOksha pradhan]; the Ultimate

enjoyment for NithyasUris and mukthAs at Srivaikuntam.

One can go on describing and extolling His positions,

Roopam, Swaroopam, vibhuthi (rulership) i.e. this

world [leelA vibhUthi] and Paramapadham [Nithya

vibhUthi], His innumerous kalyANa guNas… In spite of

such Greatest qualities, His dayA [compassion] is

Supreme and the most important One; manisarkaay-

padaathana pattu- For the sake of human beings- what

all troubles; briths (as avathArams) He undertakes.

 

He takes the avathArams in the lowly human forms – and

stoops down so low with such east accessibility to

illiterate Gopas, GopikAs, pasu (cows), pakshis

(jatAyu), monkeys, boatmen- hunters (Guha), et al. His

sowlabhyam [coming down so low] and sowseelyam [easily

accessible for all] is amazingly true and present in

such Greatest Parathvam…

 

He moved with everyone equally and attracted them all

with His sowlabhyam and sowseelyam. He is thus

possessed with the most wonderful gunAs –namely

Sowlabhya, Sowseelyams. Rama is addressed as Gunvaan-

mentioning this gunA especially.

 

KrishnAvathAra sowseelyam is Ultimate and there is no

match for that. aRivonRum illAdha Aykulatthu- He

appeared in the group of cowherd folks who were

completely illiterate; having no saasthra jnAnam- did

not even know how to eat with right hand or left..

[idakkai, valakkai theriyaadha].. He mixed with them

as if He had been a cowherd Boy for ages and even

Devendran, Chathu mukha BrahmA were all misled. He

reared cattle; tendered calves; played with Gopa boys,

shared their food, taking a bite from their palms;

played with Gopikas and danced with them… He allowed

Himself tied down to a mortar by the illiterate Gopa

lady (YasodhA) and NammAzhwAr marveled as His such a

sowseelyam and fainted for about six months it is told

[etthiRam? etthiRam] .

 

This sowseelya gunA which can not be seen in anyone

else in such grandest proportion is the natural

swabhAvam for the Lord.. It is His one of His inherent

kalyANa guNa for the sake of us- due to His mercy,

dayA on us. How many of us understand that? Hardly

any. The Lord Himself says in GitA- avajAnanthi maam

mUDA! …. Sa mahatma sudhurlabha:

 

Ravana talks lowly about Rama coming to the forest,

leaving His coronation for His younger brother;

Sisupalan talked in un-parliamentary language

(sudusol) about the deeds of KaNNan- as cowherd Boy.

 

avyaktham vyakthimApannam manyanthE maam abuddhaya: |

param bhAva majaanantha: mamaavyayam anutthamam ||

 

I, who was born as the son of Vaudevar, am being

considered as if born due to the bondage with Karma;

and they do not understand my supreme sowseelya guNaa.

The same holds good for all His avathArams. Without

understanding His true nature and guNAs, we (people)

talk low about His deeds performed during these

avathArams. Those who do that are foolish; and who

equate Him with them as humans and evaluate His

actions in their view point as humans.

 

Still, it continues. Even today such talking goes on.

Even sincere devotees sometimes get doubts on His

vaali vadham, Gopika dance etc.. The Lord Himself

tells Vaali: sookshuma: paramudhuehEya: Dharmam is

very subtle; it is not easily comprehensible. KaNNan

played with gopa sthrees –But we, srivaishnavites,

should never get such thoughts about His such grandest

deeds. But it is essential to get our doubts cleared

so that we reinforce our devotion on Him stronger and

it grows from strength. We will have to get these

doubts cleared off.

 

Now let us enjoy Kulasekara AzhwAr’s nayaki bhaava

verses… 10th verse of the sixth decad. The last one in

this decad

 

alli malartthiru mankaikELvan

Rannai nayanthiLa vaaychchimaar_kaL

ellip pozhuthini lEmatthoodi

eLki yuraittha vuraiyathanai

kolli nagarkkiRai koodaRkOmaan

kulasE karanin NnisaiyilmEvi

solliya iNnthamizh maalaipatthum

sollaval laarkkillai thunpanthaanE 6.10

 

The youthful cowherd ladies longed to untie with

KaNNan, (the Lord of Mahalakshmi, born of red lotus

flower), and waited in the mid nights and wee hours

and Kulasekara immersed in that intense bhakti and

love of Gopikas, burst out with these words in above

verse. Those who recite these most beautiful rhyming

tamil verses would never ever get any sorrows or grief

for them.
