Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

AzhwAr here sings about the meditation on both forms

of PiraaTTi and of Lord Sriman Narayanan.

 

maNNaiyuNdu mizhnthupinni

Oh Lord! The One who retained the Universe in Your

stomach [during Dissolution- mahApraLayam]; who

brought out the Universe afterwards [during evolution]

who measured the Universe with his Feet [when He

begged for three measures of earth with His little

Feet appearing as Dwarf Brahmin- Vaamana avathAram];

This world is never under loss of my control or under

my overseeing- Thus You have been controlling this As

the Director at every time, every situation and all

circumstances! Red lotus eyed most beautiful Lord who

is ever associated with soft spoken Sri – residing in

her tender breasts! The divine Form that adiyEn

contemplates is Your most beautiful form [along with

PiraaTTi] only and none else’s.

 

The first line means: the Time- when You swallowed the

Universe; the Time You spat it out; The Time You

measured The same; Thus You are the Master of Time

also; Kaala naathan.

 

The swallowing and spitting are used by the AzhwAr to

explain the philosophic concept of Dissolution and

Evolution of the Universe. These dieas are not

borrowed. The KathOpanishad speaks of the entire

Universe comprising sentient beings and non-sentient

entities as food for Brahman (yasya brahma cha

kshathram ca ubhE bhavata odnah). Based on this

Upanishad Statement, Vedantha Sutras describes the

Brahman as attA or eater (attA charAchara grahanaath).

Thus swallowing ad eating are the cosmic functions of

The Lord who is the supporter, director and controller

of Brahman.

 

Your Beauty- even when there is no enemy You shine

valorously; and even when there is enemy You exhibit

calm and composure in Your divine Face- That is the

divine form with Your Divine Consort- I am blessed to

have in my dhyAnam- says AzhwAr.
