<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n Is there any place which is not his? Is there any activity that he has not carried out for his followers? That being the case, what is special about thirumalai? AzhwAr<\/a> says that unlike other places, emperumAn<\/a> has come to this place with lot of affection and has made it his permanent dwelling place and this speciality is exclusive to thirumalai.<\/p>\n Let us first go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n idandhadhu bhUmi eduththadhu kunRam<\/em> pEr Odham vaNNan \u2013 emperumAn having the complexion of a large ocean idandhadhu bhUmi<\/strong> \u2013 when the world drowned during deluge, emperumAn<\/a> took the form of varAha (wild boar) and dug out the earth.<\/p>\n eduththadhu kunRam<\/strong> \u2013 when indhra (lord of celestial people) became angry [on being denied food] and created hailstorm, emperumAn<\/a> lifted the gOvardhana hill like an umbrella and stopped the hailstorm, thus protecting the cowherds.<\/p>\n kadandhadhu kanjanai mun anja<\/strong> \u2013 in earlier times when kamsa tried to destroy krishNa, he made kamsa to shiver on merely seeing him and killed him.<\/p>\n kidandhadhuvum nIr Odham mA kadalE<\/strong> \u2013 as the origin of these incarnations, emperumAn<\/a> reclined on thiruppARkadal<\/em> (the milky ocean) which has large amount of liquid and throws up waves.<\/p>\n During each of these incarnations, very few people only were able to see him and enjoy him. Unlike that, he came to thiruvEnkatam to be seen and enjoyed by everyone at all the times.<\/p>\n pErOdha vaNNar peridhu ninRadhuvum vEnkatamE<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn<\/a> who has the complexion of large ocean with agitating waves, does not return to paramapadham<\/em> after his incarnations but goes to thiruvEnkatam to take permanent residence, with full desire. Just as he himself has divined in SrI bhagavath gIthA 4-8<\/a> \u201cparithrANAya sAdhUnAm vinASAya cha dhushkruthAm, dharma samsthApanArththAya sambhavAmi yugE yugE<\/em>\u201d (in every yugam, I incarnate myself in order to protect the good people, destroy the bad people and to establish righteousness), his incarnations are only to remove the dangers that could occur to his followers. But is it not true that thiruvEnkatam is such that he comes ahead and stays there so that it will prevent dangers that would set in, in future! There is not a deed that emperumAn has not carried out for our sake, with immeasurable love. But, we [the samsAris] do not have real involvement in anything. While professing that we enjoy him, we relish food. But we do not have total involvement even in that. We observe fast on some days because we do not like that food. We like women. But on occasions, we forget them too and play games like chathurangam<\/em> (modern day chess) or sleep, as a pastime. We do not have real love towards anything. This is a major difference between him and us.<\/p>\n idandhadhu bhUmi eduththadhu kunRam kadandhadhu kanjanai mun anja<\/strong> \u2013 he overcame the danger that befell earth during deluge; he removed the danger due to hailstorm; he removed the danger due to kamSan too. He reclined on his thirupARkadal after completing incarnations so that he could rest awhile and be alone for some time. We can see the beauty of his digging out bhUmi which got drowned during deluge; the beauty when he lifted\u00a0 the gOvardhana hill as an umbrella; the beauty which came as a victory upon destroying kamSan; the beauty of his reclining in thirupARkadal \u2013 all these beauty can be seen together at thiruvEnkata hills, in the divine form of thiruvEnkatavan.<\/p>\n We shall next take up the 40th<\/sup> pAsuram.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa ramanuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai Is there any place which is not his?
