Dearest all,

 

After mudhal aazhwArs, next we have begun to enjoy

Thirumazhisai AzhwAr’s verses on thiruvEnkatam.

Today’s verse is the 44th verse in Naanmukhan

ThiruvanthAthi..

 

koNdu kudangaalmEl vaiththa kuzhaviyaay,

thaNda arakkan thalaithaLaal- paNdeNNi,

pOmkumaran niRkum pozhilvENG kadamalaikkE,

pOmkumara ruLLIr purindhu. 44

 

Oh Young People! Proceed to ThiruvEmkatam desirously,

where the Ever Youthful Lord Srinivasan is standing

most gracefully- the One (as a baby sitting on his

lap) who had hinted to BrahmA, that he should not

grant boon to punishable rAvaNan, by drawing ten lines

on the ground with his toe finger, erased them and

disappeared. DhaNda arakkan thalai thaaLaal- paNdu

eNNip pOm.

 

SrI Sadagopan Swami of New York as usual elaborated on

the above: few years ago:

 

According to purANams, Brahma devan was approached by

RaavaNAn. He hid his natural form with ten heads and

appeared before BrahmA as some one else to seek the

boon of indestructibility at any one's hands. At that

time, our Lord appeared before BrahmA as a beautiful

toddler.

Brahmaa was charmed by the beautiful child and lifted

it up and placed it lovingly on his lap.

 

What did this MaayAvi child do? It used its fingers to

count the ten fingers on its two feet to indicate on

the sly to Brahma that the one seeking the boons is

none other than the ten headed Ravana in disguise.

Sriman NaarAyaNA wanted to curb the runaway impulse of

BrahmA from giving too much away and strengthening the

hands of RavaaNA, who deserved punishment instead of

rewards. RavanA ended up with a boon that offered

protection from every one and every thing except a

human , since he did not think too much about a human

being as an adversary in battle.He asked for

protection against devAs , animals, weapons etc. Our

Lord forewarned thus Brahma as a playful infant to

protect His avathAra Kaaryam. That is what

Thirumazhisai is alluding to.

 

AzhwAr refers to ThiruvEnkatamudiaan as Kumaran…

eternally Youthful Lord. He is yuvaa: kumara: - says

Sruthi. He is the only Youthful One eternally Young;

[Kumaran] and the One who is Supreme Lord

[Parathvam].. – says Thirumazhisai Piraan.

 

He also appeals to the youngsters who are now

physically able, string to climb the hill and pay

their obeisance to ThiruvEnkatamudiayaan. When old,

you will not be able to take the strain.
