SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on

ThiruvEnkatam. Today’s ThiruvEnkatam verse is:

NammAzhwAr’s Thiruvaaymozhi 6.10.5

 

puNaraa ninRa maramEzhan

Reytha voruvil valavaavO,

puNarEy ninRa maramirandin

natuvE pOna muthalvaavO,

thiNaraar mEgam enakkaLiRu

sErum thiruvENG kadaththaanE,

thiNaraar saarngath thunpaadham

sErva thadiyE Nnen^_naaLE? 6.10.5

 

5. Bhagawaan! (When Sugreevan wished to test You) You

sent an arrow through the disorderly grown seven trees

and showed Your capacity with Your Divine Bow. You

crawled between the two marudha maram (trees) with the

mortar tied to your waist, during Krishnavataara.

Thus, You appeared as Rama and krishna and became our

savior. You now are standing gracefully at

ThiruvEnkatam as Srinivasa PerumAL for our benefit

again. You are carrying the strongest Divine Bow in

Your hands. When will adiyEn [this servant of yours]

reach Your Most beautiful Lotus Feet?(Please bless

me).

 

PeriyAzhwAr also refers to these marudha trees

incident in his pAsuram 1.6.5 – He says: He is The

Smartest One who stole the butter and ghee prepared

and stored by long haired cowherd women; who later got

caught and tied to a mortar and crawled in between the

two marudha trees that stood and made them fall using

his thighs and hands to push them down. My father!

With those dense black tresses of yours moving here

and there (due to the body movements), the hair like

the ornament on and prelude to that smiling charming

beautiful divine face, dance for me. [Aduga senkeerai

Aduga AdugavE.]

 

Are those two marudha trees AsurAs? Due to Narada’s

curse (saapam) the sons of KubEra became the trees in

Nandhan?s backyard. says SrImad Bhagawatham. Thus,

though they just stood there as trees for being saved

by KaNNan, the cowherd group considered them as asurAs

(with an apprehension always because the asuRAs enter

into the wheel, the calf etc.. to kill KaNNan) due to

their intense love and concern for Kutti..

 

There is a Sloka which says:

Krite Nrisimha Bhoothosou Tretaayaam Rgahunandanah /

Dwaapare Vaasudevas Cha kalao Vemkatanaayakah //

 

(meaning) While Narasimha was the Lord of Kritayuga,

Rama (Raghunandana) was the Lord of Treta yuga,

Krishna (Vaasudeva) of Dwaapara yuga, it is

Venkateswara (Venkata naayakah) who is the Lord of

Kaliyuga. As we are in KALIYUGA, we surrender to this

KALIYUGA VARADA - Lord Srinivasa. [extract from the

article of Sri Anbil Ramaswamy’s]
