Thirucchandhaviruttham- 43rd verse- Kamsa vadham is the today's grand event!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

Last verse was the connection to bull fight. Now is

the Kamsa vadham.

 

venjinattha vEzha veN maruppositthu uruththamaa

kamsanaik kadinthumaN aLandhu koNda kaalanE,

vanchanatthu vandhapEycchi aavipaaluL vaanginaay,

anchanaththa vaNNanaaya aadhidhEvan allaiyE? (43)

 

Oh AdhidhEvaa! Primordial Chief! The One who measured

the earth with Your lotus Feet! The One who sucked the

life along with the milk from Poothanai coming in

guise of a mother with an intent to kill; You broke

the strong white tusker of huge elephant

kuvalayaapeetam and entered into the palace of Kamsa

[who is also like another strong elephant] and killed

him too. The dark hued Lord! You are the Parathvam.

 

The word kadnidhu should not be related to koNda

kaalanE! As it does not go well with the context of

VaamanaavathAram. Only during Kamsa vadham, he killed

(kadindhu). Hence kadindhu should be read with

anjanattha vaNNan Aya.. The one who Killed Kamsan –

dark hued (collyrium like) AdhidEvan.

 

AdhidEvan allaiyE- When he killed Poothanai, the

SakatAsuran, VathsAsura and others, His Supreme

Lordship was not declared; and when He killed Kamsa,

He established His Parathvam- How? Because, the

ethereal voice [asareeri] had declared during Devaki

marriage that Devaki Puthran – MahAvishNu - would kill

Kamsa (the brother of Devaki). Thus everyone could

realize His Parathvam and only then, Kutti KaNNan

started showing off His four hands (till then He had

hidden the extra two hands heeding to the request of

Devaki).

 

Kannan went in and after killing the wrestlers

Chanooran, mushtikan, Kuta, Sala, Tosala who had

assembled there at Kamsa’a place when Kamsa arrived

and took his seat on a raised platform. Kannan and

Balaram rejoiced joyfully when they killed the

wrestlers. The crowd cheered and said, Well done.

Kamsa was angered and he ordered his men to catch

KaNNan and put him in chains.

 

Bu before Kamsa had even finished his orders, KaNNan

jupned onto his platform and Kamsan drew his srwod to

kill KaNNan. Kannan caught hold of Kamsan by his hair

from which the crown cam tumbling down. He swung him

round and threw him down into the arena, still and

dead.

 

Kamsan’s eight brothers started attacking KaNNan and

soon they were even overpowered and killed. Kannan

Balaram the rushed to see Vasudeva and Devaki and

prostrated at their feet. Kannan also released

Ugrasenar who was languishing in the prison where he

had been put by his own son, Kamsan as Kamsan was

impatient to get onto the throne.
