Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

Today , we will study the next THREE paasurams of

Swamy Desikan's Mey Viratha Maanmiyam , where Lord VaradarAjan's

appearance(aavirbhAvam ) from the AswamEdha Yaga vEdhi is

described .

 

222) AavirbhAvam of the Lord with PuNyakOti VimAnam

*********************************************

SukalEsam yeNNiya soozhvinai theerkkat-tuNintha ayanAr

ahalAtha anbhudan koNDa ayamEdha vEdhiyin mEl

puhal Ongu ponn malai anna Ohr puNNiyakODiyudan

PahalOn pahal viLakkAhap-Paramsudar thOnRiyathE

 

(Meaning) : Thus , Brahma carried out the AswamEdha yAgam

for destruction of his karmAs that led him earlier to think that

insignificant worldly pleasures are great and lasting sukhams .

 

At the conclusion of the AswamEdham with great bhakthi for

the Lord , Brahma Devan performed the vapA hOmam .

 

It was then the month of Chitthirai, Sukla Paksham ,

Chathurdasi , Sunday morning and Hastha Nakshathram , when

Brahma completed the VapA Homam. Immediately thereafter,

the supreme radiance of the Lord arose from the middle of

the Yaaga Kuntam shining like thousands of Suns . It was like the rise of

a golden mountain surrounded by PuNya Koti VimAnam , which made

the regular Sun look like the lamp lit in a bright day.

 

The next two Paasurams describe the MangaLa ghOsham of

KaaLam , Valampuri and Thirucchinna Vaadhyams

saluting the most auspicious avathAram of Lord VaradarAjan

in response to Brahmaa's aswamEdha Yaagam .

(Meaning ) : PeraruLALan of limitless auspiciousness has

arrived here ( at Kaanchipuram ) now. He is the One with

immeasurable glories . He drenches His BhakthAs with the rain of

KaaruNyam . He is saluted by the precious VedAs . His Svaroopam

is that of the VedAs with its ancillaries (angams). When His PirAtti is of

the form of Sabdham , He takes on the form of its meaning (arTam) .

Out of His infinite compassion , He blessed us with the SaasthrAs.

He confuses the nAsthikAs by presenting them with deluding (Mohana)

SaasthrAs. He shows us the way ( Prapatthi) to SrI Vaikuntam , His

Supreme abode . Recognizing and celebrating the arrival of the Lord of

such magnificent attributes , the joyous dEvAs played on the MangaLa

Vaadhyam of Thirucchinnam to hearald His avathAram .

(meaning ): PeraruLALar is the most beautiful Lord , who

rides on His Vaahanams of Elephant , Horse and ThEr .

He blessed a blind devotee of Kaanchi (Haritha VaaraNa Bhruthyar)

with sight . He is the grantor of boons for those , who meditate on Him.

He stays as the torrential rain that drenches us with Moksha

Sukham. He saved the King of Elephants , who suffered from

the Crocodile , when it shouted " AaadhimUlamE " and sought

His protection .He arose from the Yaaga Kuntam at the end of

the performance of the AswamEdham by Brahma Devan. His

sacred feet are worshipped by the MukthAs and Nithya sooris .

Elated by His avathAram , the dEvAs blew the MangaLa Vaadhyam

of Thirucchinnam at Kaanchi on that Chithirai Hastham .
