Thiruppavai and Divyadesams -20

pasuram: Muppaththu Moovar

Divyadesam: Thiruppadagam

 

The divyadesam of Thiruppadsgam is in Kanchipuram

and is also known as Pandava Dhoothar sannidhi.

Here, the Lord has a large divine form.

 

In Periya Thirumozhi 9-1-8, Thirumangai Azhvar

sings " arava ni:lkodiyo:n avaiyul a:sanaththai

anjcha:dhe: ida, adharkup periya ma:me:ni andam

u:duruvap perunthisai adangkida nimirndho:n " .

The form in this divyadesam matches to the

itiha:sa in this pasuram.

 

Sri Krishna went as a messenger for the Pandavas

to the sabha of the Kauravas. Duryodhana, with

a snake in his flag ( " arava ni:l kodiyo:n " ), built

a hidden chamber in the floor of the sabha, kept

wrestlers in there and placed a chair on top of

it for Sri Krishna to sit. When Krishna did and

fell in, the wrestlers attacked Him. He took a

huge form and killed them.

 

This event is experienced in this pasuram

" serra:rkku veppam kodukkum vimala: " ). " amararkku

mun senru " shows Him going as a messenger for

the Pandavas, who were born of Devas. " kappam

thavirkkum " stands for the removal of their

fear (kampa in Sanskrit is trembling; this word

is used as kappam in Tamil).

 

Thus, the divyadesam of Thiruppadagam is

experienced in this pasuram.

Jai Srimannarayana!
