Challenge 3.04. " YOU HAVE DROWNED YOUR LORD! "

=============================================================

bhagavathi dayE bhavathyA vrishagirinAthE samApluthE thungE /

aprathiga majjanAnAm hasthAlambhO madh AgasAm mrughya: //

(DayA Sathakam SlOkam 13)

 

Meaning

" Oh! DayA DEvi!

You have drowned in your torrential flood of DayA, your Lord,

TiruvEnkaTamuDaiyAn Himself, who stands aloft on the mountaintop.

 

Is drowning me together with my Papas (which troubles the Lord) impossible

for you? Come on! Now try to do this drowning! "

 

Comment

 

SwAmi seems to tell that when she has so successfully drowned the great Lord

Himself, it will be a child's play for her, to drown SwAmi's sins.

 

SwAmi seems to imply also that when TiruvEnkaTamuDaiyAn gets drowned lock,

stock and barrel, His heart laden with the burden of bearing with SwAmi's

sins, ipso facto, will also be drowned along with Him! The Container and the

Contained sinking together down deep into the floodwaters of DayA!
