Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Chakravathith thirumagan One may wonder why the embodiment of compassion 'Chakravarthith thirumagan' is being left out of ther series on magnanimity. No way. Can anybody forget His equanimous treatment of AyOdhya Empaire and banishment to exile. 'anRalarndha senthAmarai' says kambar- The radiance on the countenance of perumAL is likened to a fresh blossomed lotus on hearing the news, that He is being sent off to exile. '..sERRam ilAdhAnai' says Sri peiryAzhwAr. On denial of ones legitimate rights, one gets angry and rattled. Here AzhwAr describes Him as sERRam ilAdhAnai thereby meaning that Sri RamA is composed. Over and above being composed, PerumAL accepts this with Grace and smile. That is magnanimity. Sri thirumangai AzhwAr describes the Large Heartedness of perumAL on two counts in the 'yEAzhai yEAdhalan' thirumzohi 5-7. One is the episode of guhA. The fact that guhA is an ordinary hunter. He does not possess much wealth. He is not born in a High clan. Overlooking all this the Lord out of complete compassion showers His Grace on him. He introduces lakshmaNA as(GuhA's) his brother and sEthA as His sister -thOzhi. Does the Great mind stop there. No. He introduces Himself as guhA's friend rather than introducing guHA as His friend. 'vugandhu thOzhan nE enakku are kaliyan's exact words in this regard. That is why Sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr mentions in srEvachana bhUshaNam ' SribharathAzhwAnukku nanmai dhAnEa thEmai AyiRRu; SrEguhaperumALukku thEmai dhAnEa nanmai AyiRRu." 145; The next is in respct of thiruvadi. Thiruadi is descendent of vAyU. Belongs to the clan of monkeys. Is not considered in the category of mankind. Glossing over all these , the Lord takes food in single banana leaf with him. What a Great mind. 'vAdha mAmagan-maRkadam-vilangu-maRRoAr sAdhi-enRozhindhilai...kOdhil vAimayinAnOdu vudanEa vuNban nAn" 5-7-2; There are so many instances in the rAmAyaNA where if one drops a pin it will go and get stuck up in one or other of such magnanimous qualities of the Lord. kAkAsuran who tormented pirATTi was driven by brahmAstharam in the form of a grass. After circling all the worlds kAkAsuran fell at the feet of divine Lord who spared its life leaving one of its eyes blind. ' aNaithulagum thirindhODi, vithaganEa, irAmA Oh! nin-abyam enRazhaikka, athiRamEa adhan kaNNai aRuthadhum Or adaiyALam" periyAzhwAr thirumzohi 3-10-6; Thus this can go on and on and that is why swAmi nam-AzhwAr puts it like this: 'kaRpAr irAma pirAnai allAl maRRum kaRparOA'7-5-1 of thiruvoimozhi. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
