Paasuram-24 (contd)

 

 

 

(egazhindAi eruvariyum veeya) Two asuras madhu and kaitapa stole the Vedas from

brahma and hindered in his duty of creation. Under the request of brahma

emperuman killed the asuras and got back the Vedas to brahma. During the

bhAratha yuddha Oh! Lord you witnessed the killing of all the bad kings. [ " kola

mAkkOl kolai seidhu bharathapOr ellAch Senaiyum, eru nilaththaviththa endhai " ]

 

 

 

Further azhvar shows to what all extend emperuman goes for the sake of his dear

devotees.

 

 

 

(pugazhindAi sinappOr suvEdhanai) Arjuna is a great warrior. Instigated by

anger he was capable to fight a very tough war. Emperuman praised arjuna for

his strength to fight. Though arjuna was instructed by narada and other rishis

time and again that Krishna was none other than the supreme lord arjuna still

called Krishna as " hey! Krishna hey! YAdhava " , without even thinking about the

lord's greatness and supremacy. But emperuman didn't care about all these he

kept on praising arjuna as " paranthapa " (one who fires his enemies) " anaka: "

(one who is free from sins) etc.

 

Oh! My lord you are " stavya: " (one to be praised), " OdhuvAr OththellAm

evulagaththevvulagum sAdhuvAi ninpugazin thagaiyallAl piridillai " how amazing it

is to see you praising someone else!

 

 

 

(sinappOr suvEdhanai) A great warrior arjuna. He has a number of names among

which suvEdhan is one. ( " arjuna: palguna: pArtha: kireetee svEthavAhana: I

bheethatsur vijaya: krushnas savyasAsee dananjaya: II) The name svEthavAhana:

" one who rides a chariot run by white horses. [ " vellai puravi kurukku velkodi

tErmisai munpu nindru " says periazhvar] Here thirumazhisai piran instead of

svEthavAhana: says the name in short as 'suvEdhanai' indicating only to arjuna.

 

 

 

(sEnApadhiyAi) Though it seems to all that emperuman in the bharatha yuddha only

took the position of arjuna's charioteer, pArtha-sArathi still he was the only

governing force of the whole army of the pandavas that made them win the war.

That is why sanjaya declared to drutharAstra as follows:

 

" yathra yOgeeswara Krishna: yathra pArthO danurdhara: tatra sri vijayO bhoothir

druvA nidir madir mama " pAndavas are praised as " krishnAsraya: krishnabala:

krishnanAdAscha pAndava: " So there is nothing wrong to say that Parthasarathi

was the leader of the pandava army.

 

 

 

Why did emperuman praise arjuna and make him fight the war?

 

 

 

(manappOr mudikkum vagai) It was parthasarathi's wish to get rid of adharma and

establish dharma and hence the war had to happen. Moreover emperuman had a debt

towards drowpathi,

 

" govindhEthi yathA krAndath krishnA mAm dooravAsinam I

 

ruNam pravruththamiva mE hrudhayAn nAbhasarpathi II "

 

 

 

While being insulted in the court of the gauravas, drowpathi screemed for help

the thirunAmam of emperuman " govinda " . At that time Krishna was in a very far

of place and hence couldn't rush to the site. That remained as a great block in

emperuman's mind till he returned back to paramapadam. Only for the sake of

drowpathi did emperuman make the bharatha yuddha happen to see drowpathi tie her

untied hair and also make her happy by crowning dharmaputra to the throne.

 

 

 

(manappOr mudikkum vagai suvEdhanai pugazindhAi) " mayaivaithE nihithA:

poorvamEva nimiththamAthram bhava savyasAsin " declares parthasarathi himself.

(Oh! Arjuna you are capable of leaving arrows with your left hand, I have

already killed these gauravas just by my thought (sankalpam). Whatever you are

asked to do now is just for eyewash so that you get the name.) So emperuman who

is capable of getting rid of his enemies just by thought went to the extend of

praising a jeevatma, arjuna as if he alone can fight the war and did all

servitude to him being his charioteer for the sake of happiness of his dear

devotees.
