NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 28 - EMERGENCE OF KAMADHENU, KALPAKAVRUSHA, IRAVATHAM, MAHALAKSHMI AND DHANVANTHRI

Dasakam-28-Emergence of Kamadenu, Kalpakavrusha, Iravatham, Mahalakshmi & Dhanvantri

Devas and Asuras churned the milk ocean with the help of the Lord. First, Kalakoota poison emerged from the ocean along with flames of fire. The dreaded poison was swallowed by Shiva with great mercy for the mankind. Divine gods sang hymns in praise of Lord Shiva for his mercy. 

Next came, Kamadhenu the divine cow, which was gifted to sages. Then the beautiful horse, Uchchaishravas and the great elephant, Iravatham, Kalpaka vrusha and Apsaras came too. All of them were gifted to Gods.

As the ocean was churned further, Goddess Mahalakshmi appeared. Her magical form attracted everyone. Indra gave her a throne; divine sages did abhisheka to her with holy Ganges. Mahalakshmi decked with studded earrings, yellow garment and necklaces appeared enchanting and due to her extreme devotion to Lord, she offered the divine garland in her hand to Lord, who readily accepted her. Her compassionate glances brought prosperity to the whole world.

Next the Goddess Varuni, the deity for Liquor came, who was intoxicating in appearence and is a source of all vices and sins. Lord presented her to the asuras as they are the seat of ignorance. 

Dhanvanthri, a beautiful form of Lord, finally appeared from the ocean carrying the divine nectar in his hands. Bhattathiri praises Lord for having made world get such priceless gifts by his mercy and requests that he cure him of his ailments.
