Dear All,

 

Known as MahAveeran, Raman was royal prince who was known for His parAkramam. He

was able to finish off thousands of rakshasas under 1.5 muhurta kalam. Raman's

Thirumeni Azhaghu cannot be explained with just words (called as AzhivannA by

Kaliyan in describing His Sousheelyam with Guhan in Ezhai Ethalan pathikam for

Srirangam). Here, Azhivannan not oly refers to complete thrumeni azhagu of

Raman, like thousands of pearls, but also His complete Kalyana Gunam portrayed

by His thirumeni itself. His thirumeni was full of marks of arrows immediately

after the battle was over. Sita thought that it would not be possible to heel

all those wounds on Raman’s thirumeni with medicine. Hence, she embraced

(Alanginam in sanskrit) Raman. Immediately, all the marks and wounds on Raman’s

thirumeni were gone.

 

Krishna made sure that He would not touch any of His DivyAyudhams (weapons)

until the battle was over. He stood by His words. He was just having shangu and

kOl (sattai) to run the chariot (we can refer to one of the Azhwar’s pasurams,

kollA mAkkOl…). In order to protect Arjuna, Krishna took all the arrows on His

thirumeni. His thirumeni was full of marks at the end of the war. This time,

Rukmini pirAtti did not want to embrace Kannan. Had she done what she did in

RamAvatAram, we all could not have worshipped such a beautiful thirumukha

mandalam of Parthasarathy, the utsavar in Thiruvallikkeni. In KrishnAvataram,

Thayar had so much of KArunyam on us to ensure that we all worship this unique

beauty of Perumal as Parthasarathy.

 

PeyAzhwar, Thirumazhisai Azhwar and Thirumangai Azhwar have sung on this Divya

Desam. Let us start with Thirumangai Azhwar and end with PeyAzhwar. In the

second pathu of Periya Thrumozhi, Kaliyan has sung 10 pasurams covering all the

Perumals in this Divya Desam. He starts with the pasuram, virperu vizhavum.

Kaliyan has interestingly pictursied the kamsa vadham in this pasuram. When

Kannan entered the court of Kamsan, He first finished off the the elephant

called kuvalayApeetam. Then, He killed the pAgan (one who takes care of

elephant), and then Kamsan. Azhwar has reversed the order of killing in this

pasuram. How could it be possible? The reason is very simple. Kannans’s activity

of killing Kamsan was so spontaneous that it was very difficult to make out who

got killed first in the pipe line. It seemed like everything happened

instantaneously. Azhwar ends the pasuram with the RamAvatAra anubhavam, saying

that One who left the kingdom to obey the order of sittrannai (Kaikeyi) is the

One whom I am worshipping as Venkata Krishnan in Thiruvallikkeni.

 

What ever form Perumal takes and which ever way He comes to this earth, He is

never less in His attributes. This aspect can be refrred to the fouth chapter in

Bhagat Gita where Kannan talks about His avatAra rahasyam. Irrespective of His

avatAram, He is always with pArakramam.
