Alternatively, in an earlier birth, kamsan had been born as <em>kAlanEmi<\/em>. He came with anger, opposing emperumAn. The scent of that anger was still lingering in this birth too, as kamsan. After seeing all his supporters getting killed by krishNa, with none left to send, kamsan decided to bring krishNa through akrUrar. When krishNa came to mathurA, with akrUrar, kamsan stood opposing him, for the first time, directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>poRuththu \u2026<\/strong> &#8211; bakAsuran, came to harm krishNa [with the form of a crane]. When he came flying fast, krishNa slowed him down and tore his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that bakAsuran came in the form of a crane, with his mouth wide open, crying aloud to harm krishNa. Effortlessly, krishNa tore his mouth and protected himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>neRiththa \u2026<\/strong> &#8211; while running ahead of the calves, when he was grazing them, krishNa\u2019s divine locks, which were curled up tightly and were hanging in the front, swayed from side to side<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>siRukkanRu \u2026<\/strong>&#8211; Bring a stick for one who is going to graze young calves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that the young calves were not only not involved in protecting themselves, they wouldn\u2019t even know how to eat grass. Hence, krishNa would take some grass in his hands, squeeze them well, and put them into the mouth of the calf. When the calf eats it, he would be happy. This is how he was grazing the young calves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>dhEva pirAnukku<\/strong> \u2013 since he destroyed monsters such as kamsan et al, he became a benefactor for celestial entities. Bring a stick for such an entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>thiruvAimozhip piLLai says here that AzhwAr says that krishNa is the benefactor for both the entities in leelA vibhUthi [samsAram] who look up to him for their protection and the nithyasUris in nithya vibhUthi, thus being the benefactor for both the realms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We shall next consider the 4<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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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;Second Centum &gt;&gt; Sixth decad Previous avathArikai (Introduction) There is no specific avathArikai for this pAsuram. kaRuththittu edhir ninRa kanjanaik konRAnpoRuththittu edhir vandha puLLin vAy kINdAnneRiththa kuzhalgaLai nInga munnOdisiRukkanRu mEyppadhOr kOl koNdu vA dhEvapirAnukku Or kOl koNdu vA Word-by-Word Meanings kaRuththu \u2013 being full &#8230; <a title=\"periyAzhwAr thirumozhi \u2013 2.6.3 \u2013 kaRuththittu edhirninRa\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2026\/01\/periyazhwar-thirumozhi-2-6-3\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about periyAzhwAr thirumozhi \u2013 2.6.3 \u2013 kaRuththittu edhirninRa\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,717,720],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mudhalayiram","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi","category-periyazhwar-thirumozhi-2nd-centum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58642"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58675,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58642\/revisions\/58675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
