Since vasudhEvar was imprisoned, since krishNa was going to be born as his eighth son, krishNa incarnated as his son first, to eliminate vasudhEvar\u2019s distress before eliminating the distress of celestial entities, just as thirumangai AzhwAr has mentioned in his periya thirumozhi 8-5-1 \u201c<em>thandhai kAlil vilangaRa vandhu thOnRiya thOnRal<\/em>\u201d (the lord who incarnated in order to break the chains from his father\u2019s feet). thiruvAimozhip piLLai says, in his svApadhESam, that he could eliminate the distress of celestial entities only if he removes the distress of vasudhEvar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>thiNkoL \u2026<\/strong> &#8211; the one who was growing up in order to annihilate the monsters who had physical as well as mental strength.

For the monsters, <em>thiNmai<\/em> [strength] refers to the pain in the hearts of krishNa\u2019s followers due to the monstrous nature of kamsan et al and their birth. In other words, without considering that they are his parents or relatives, kamsan imprisoned them all; without considering that they are his nephews, he hit them against rock as soon as they were born. krishNa grew up in thiruvAyppAdi in order to burn the stomachs of such monsters and to annihilate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>kaNgaL \u2026<\/strong> &#8211; since he has come to help the noble ones and to destroy the enemies, he was showering his mercy on the favourable ones such that they would be protected. Look at his divine eyes. Oh, women who are wearing golden bangles! Come and have a look. thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the term <em>kanavaLai<\/em> [golden bangles] symbolises the total dependence of the surrendered entities\u2019 possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We shall next consider the 17<sup>th<\/sup> pAsuram of this thirumozhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br>pramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br>pramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br>SrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: Sri varavaramunayE nama: periyAzhwAr thirumozhi&nbsp;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;First Centum&nbsp;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Second Decad Previous avathArikai (Introduction) While AzhwAr was enjoying the overall beauty of the divine face of krishNa, the divine eyes secured his attention, as a result of which he enjoys their beauty again.
