NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 11 - SANAKA ENTERS VAIKUNTHA

Dasakam - 11 - Sanaka Enters Vaikuntha

The creation of species progressed with Brahma creating Swayambumanu and Shatarupa. The four divine sages Sanaka, Sananda, Sanat Sujatar, Sanatkumara desirous of having darshan of Lord, went to the Vaikunta. Crossing Six fortresses or gates and a beautiful garden full of Kalpa trees, known as "NAISREYAM", surrounded by several lakes and mansions shining with pearls and gems, the divine sages came to the abode of the Lord,

As sages were about to enter the Lord's abode, gate keepers Jaya and Vijaya stopped them. The sages, prompted by Lord from within, forgot their satvic nature and got angry. They cursed Jaya and Vijaya to become asuras, as the conduct of the two made them unfit to be in Vaikunta. Jaya and Vijaya requested the sages to pardon them for their mistake.

The divine sages sung praise of the Lord standing at the gate of the abode, Lord appeared before them with Mahalakshmi on Garuda vahana. Having got the enchanting darshan of the Lord, sages became so happy and fell at the Lord's feet. 

Jaya and Vijaya, now took refuge at Lord's feet, prostrated and asked for pardon. Lord with great kindness said that Jaya and Vijaya will have only three births in earth as asuras and then will come back to Vaikunta.

Jaya and Vijaya were born as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasipu, for Sage Kashyapa and Diti. Both were cruel in nature due to mother Diti conceiving them at the wrong time of twilight. The two brothers tormented the whole world with their evil tendencies.

One of them, Hiranyaksha sought an opponent to fight. Since no one was ready to fight with him, he immersed the earth in the waters and roamed around the worlds with his mace.

God Varuna, the Lord of waters told Hiranyaksha that only Lord Vishnu is proper opponent for him. He then went around searching for Lord Vishnu, who can be attained only by his devotees.

Bhattathiri requested Lord, whose form is visible only to his true devotees, to cure him of his ailments. Lord Guruvayoorappan acknowledged his request immediately by nodding his head.
