Tiruppavai - Pasuram 4 : nAmA 10 & 11 (oozhi mudhalvan) (padmanabhan)

In this pasuram 4, AndAL glorifies two nAmAs : oozhi mudhalvan and

padmanabhan.Oozhi represents entire prapancham the leela vibuthi viz. 7 lokams

starting from bhu (our earth) until satya lokam (abode of brahma) and 7 lokams

below our earth called rakshasa lokam and the entire celestial planets. For

this entire oozhi, he is mudhalvan, the first and primodal. " EshO ha vai

nArAyana asit, na brahma, na isanaha " Swamy Nammazhwar in his tiruvAimozhi

" onrum devum ulagum uyirum yadum illa anRu, nAnmugan thaNodu devar ulagodu uyir

padaithAn " . Here AndAL praises his gunA of Jagat karana bhoothan. Is this can

be considered as a guNam of the Lord. This is leela of the Lord and hence aptly

called leela vibuthi.

 

The next nAmA is padmanAbhan. He is holding the entire jagat in his nabhi in

the form of lotus, giving us the assurance that he is the protector or jagat

rakshakan.

 

The next nAmA 12 appears in pasuram 5 - " mAyan " , which is his inherent gunA. (to

be continued)
