Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful

verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram

yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

 

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the

whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance

(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali

dhOsham.

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr proceeds to plead the Lord of

TirumalA for His unbounded limitless mercy that pours

out on His own -out of His Greatest compassion on us.

Let us enjoy this nice ten on AzhwAr's plea.

 

thooNaayadhanoodu ariyaayvanNdhuthOnRi,

pENaavavuNanudalam piLanNdhittaay!,

sENaar thiruvEngkadamaamalaimEya,

kONaagaNaiyaay! kuRikkoLLenainNeeyE. 1.10.5

 

Oh Lord! The one who appeared from a pillar and tore

the body of hiraNyan and killed him! NarasimhA! The

One who has AdhisEshan - ThiruananthAzhwAn as His Bed!

The Lord of Great ThiruvEmkatam! Please come out of

Your own will and out of Your Greatest compassion,

have mercy on me!

 

PeriyAzhwAr also enjoys Narasihma avathAram in his

verse…

[Excellent PAsuram!] HiraNya kasipu had built the

pillar under his own supervision a huge, beautiful

pillar in his palace hall. When he himself knocked the

pillar that was measured so many times earlier by him,

with pride, then and there came out and grew so huge

the ferocious Lion faced Lord Nrusimhan, with

thunderous sound and glowing fiery eyes and thEjas; He

tore open the chest of HiraNyakasipu with his sharp

nails in his Hands and clap with those Hands! Oh Lord

who sucked the breast of demon Poothanai! Clap! Clap…

 

 

Since he himself measured and built it, how there

could be Sriman Narayanan there inside!- he would have

thought. Poor guy! When Nrusingan came out, He thought

there could be some transformation in his

(HiraNyakasipu’s] heart and hence He touched the heart

to see. Still, it was with terrible cruel anger and

hatred glowing inside. Hence He tore open the chest.

 

He tore open the chest keeping the enemy on His lap.

He sucked the breast holding the same with His nails

and killed her lying on her lap. -compares Sri UttamUr

Swamy quoting poorvar’s vyAkhyAnams.
