NARAYANEEYAM DASAKM - 41 - CREMATION OF PUTANA

Dasakam - 41 - Cremation of Putana

Nandagopan returned to Gokulam immediately as per the advice of Vasudeva. On his way, he saw a huge thing falling on the earth, crashing the trees. Frightened at this sight, Nandagopan surrendered to Lord and kept seeking protection for Krishna. The gopas were spellbound and shocked when they were informed by the gopikas about the incident. They took axe and cut Putana's body in to pieces and cremated it at a distant place.

Lord had sat on Putana's lap and sucked the breast milk, which sanctified her. So when fire engulfed her body, good fragrance emanated from it, making everyone wonder if it was incense or sandalwood that is burning. It was as if to send message to Gopas that the fruits of touching Lord's body or having vision of Lord will not be delayed. Eventually they will get Moksham in that birth itself. For this reason, Lord conferred such a fragrance on Putana.

Gopas were immersed in bliss seeing Krishna's face, surprised at the fact that the child escaped from the demoness and that those events were already predicted by Vasudeva. Gokulam flourished with prosperity, happiness, auspiciousness and undiminished virtues as Lord himself was growing up there.

Gopikas kept talking about the beauty of the child, his smile amongst themselves all day long while they did work and evenings they rushed to Nandagopan's house to see and play with the child. They would call baby Krishna and held him in their arms and showered their love in many ways. As each one of the gopikas passed Krishna from one hand to the other, it was like honey beetle moving from one red lotus to the other in a garland.

Yashoda fed the baby and kept looking at his face smilingly. Bhattathiri wondered at the joy, Yashoda must have experienced in all these acts of caring and pampering of Krishna. He requests such Lord to remove his afflictions and save him.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 40 - PUTANA MOKASHAM

Dasakam - 40 - Putana Moksham

Nandagopan, a man of great virtues, went to the kingdom of Mathura where Kamsa is ruling, to pay taxes. Vasudeva met Nadagopan and talked affectionately and very friendly to him. He congratulated Nandagopan and expressed his happiness over him begetting a son and conveyed that he is as happy as he would have got one.

Vasudeva warned Nandagopan of the bad omens which are felt at Gokulam at that time and hence instructed him to return home back as quickly as possible. Hearing it, Nandagopan fell in to apprehension about the safety of Krishna and set on his return to Gokulam.

In the meanwhile, Putana, the demoness, under Kamsa's order visited Nandagopan's house in the disguise of a beautiful woman, with hair adorned with beautiful and attractive flowers. She, after killing several infants, lifted Krishna in her hand, even while the other gopikas wondered amongst themselves as to who this beautiful lady was.

Awestruck by her charming looks, Gopis did not obstruct her when she took the child in her hand and went in to the house. She chose a place in the house and started to feed the child with her breast milk. Angered at Putana's killing of innocent children, Krishna fearlessly climbed on to her body and sucked the poison smeared breasts as if it was a huge mango fruit.

Krishna sucked the life of Putana, acting as if he was sucking the milk. She fell on the ground making thunderous sound with both hands stretched, reverting to her huge demoness form. Hearing the huge sound, entire Gokulam was in a state of shock. Seeing Krishna playing innocently on the dead body of Putana, Gopikas came and picked him up hurriedly.

Gopikas prayed to Lord, chanting his various names which brings auspiciousness to the world, seeking him to protect the child without knowing that Lord only is in the form of child Krishna in their hands. Bhattathiri requested Guruvayoorappan to free him from his disease and make him more devoted towards Lord.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 39 - KRISHNA JANMOTHSAVAM

Dasakam - 39 - Krishna Janmothsavam

Vasudeva, one who is best among the yadhu clan, carried the baby Krishna and reached the river Yamuna. The river was running to its full, with waves touching the sky. The moment he approached the water, she receded and reduced the water to the ankle height of Vasudeva, as if the huge flooding waters were an illusory magic. At Gokulam, everyone was fast asleep due to the prompt of Lord. Doors of Nandagopan's house opened and the yogamaya gave a shrill cry as if to announce the location of the house. Vasudeva left the baby Krishna near sleeping Yashoda and carried the girl child to reach Mathura faster.

Yogamaya cried after reaching the prison and guards rushed to inform Kamsa that 8th baby is born. Kamsa came running in anger and agitation to the prison cell, but was confused to see a baby girl in his sister Devaki's hands. Kamsa thought to himself that this must be some maaya of Lord Vishnu. He snatched the baby from Devaki's hands like an elephant snatching and plucking the lotus from the pond and lifted his hand to hit it hard on the stone slab. The baby girl slipped of his hands and took a divine form with powerful weapons in her eight arms in the sky.

Yogamaya called out to the cruel king Kamsa and said that there is no use in killing her, the person who is going to kill him is born elsewhere.  Lord's sister then vanished in to the different temples in the earth while devas sprinkled flowers on her. Kamsa informed his demons Pralamba, Baka, and Poothana about Yogamaya's words, the next morning and immediately the asuras went on a spree of killing all male infants all around the world. Bhattathiri exclaimed that what deeds are not possible for such merciless people?

Krishna now gave a cry announcing his birth in gokula, waking up Yashoda. She immediately informed Nandagopan and all gopikas, the happy news of arrival of male child. The whole gokula rejoiced the arrival of the child. Yasodha looked at the baby Krishna who was as fresh as the kayambu flower, fed him with milk, touched and caressed him and felt extremely happy. Bhattadiri exclaimed that yasodha is the most fortunate one in the world to experience this bliss.

Nandagopan brimming with joy distributed gifts to all holy Brahmins and performed all rituals for baby's welfare. Gopas did all the auspicious rites and observances for the child. Bhattathiri requested Lord who bestows auspiciousness to all in the three worlds to ward off his afflictions and protect him.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 38 - KRISHNA AVATHAARAM

Dasakam - 38 - Krishna Avathaaram

Narayana Bhattathiri was overwhelmed with joy as he started the story of Krishna Jananam. He sang, ''Ananda roopa Bhagavannu ayi thae avathare'', meaning Lord's form when born itself, is bliss personified. 

When the time of incarnation came, the sky was covered with rain bearing clouds. It shone very similar to the Lord's blue colour skin which was emanating radiance all over. While the rain cooled the earth, moon emerging out and shining at midnight, virtuous people feeling joyous that their wishes are going to get fulfilled, the Lord who is remover of sorrows in all the three worlds, incarnated on earth as Sri Krishna!

At the time of birth as a child, Krishna was fully decked with sparkling crown, necklaces and sporting his conch, discus, lotus, mace. His blue coloured chest was sporting Mahalakshmi and all the identities to prove that he is Lord Hari himself. Mahalakshmi who never leaves her place on the Lord's chest, glanced the entire room of the prison cell and sanctified it and warded it, of all the evils and negative vibrations due to Kamsa.

Vasudeva saw the form of lord, which cannot be explained by even divine sages, with his own eyes. His eyes swelled and entire body got goosebumps. With his throat choking with overwhelming joy, in a melting voice, Vasudeva sang in praise of the Lord for a very long time. He requested that Lord remove all his sorrows and sufferings with his side glances overflowing with compassion. Devaki's thin body soaked with joyful tears prayed to the Lord. At that time, Lord who is a seat for mercy, reminded them of their previous two births. As per mother's request, then Lord took the form of a human infant.

Lord instructed Vasudeva, son of Soorasena, to carry the infant and exchange it with yoganidhra, the daughter of Nandagopan. The one, whose form can be perceived only by the virtuous sages, was seated like a swan perched on the lotus, in the hands of the father. The yoganidhra born in Nandagopan house put all the people in the entire region to deep sleep with her maaya. For Vasudeva, the locks on the prison doors broke open on its own facilitating Lord to be carried by Vasudeva. This was no surprise.

Vasudeva who was so fortunate to have become father of Lord, carried him to Gokulam. Adiseshan spread the hoods over the child, protecting and preventing from getting wet by rain. It also illuminated the path with the light emanating from its gems on the hoods.

Bhattathiiri requested Lord Guruvayoorappan of such glory to cure him of his ailments.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM 37- KRISHNA AVATHAARAM - PRELUDE

Dasakam 37 - Krishna Avathaaram - Prelude

Lord had killed lot of asuras during their fight with devas, some attained salvation. Few like Kaalanemi who had some karma left, were again born as kamsa and other asuras and were troubling people on the earth.  Soon Goddess Earth was over burdened with the weight of Asuras and people with evil mind and actions. She surrendered at the feet of Brahma asking him to bring relief to her. Even before she reached, Devas and other gods had already reached and requested the same. Seeing the sorrowful plight of Mother Earth and Devas, Brahma meditated on Lord.

Brahma suggested that only Lord Hari could help at this point and hence led by Lord Shiva, Mother Earth, devas, Brahma and other gods reached the milky ocean and took refuge at the lotus feet of the Lord. Everyone meditated at the Lord's feet, Brahma heard the voice of Lord in his heart. He conveyed the happy news to the gods that Lord is aware and acknowledges the sad plight caused by asuras and hence will be born in Yadava clan with all his powers to have a complete incarnation. The gods will be born as rishis, wives of Devas will be born in earth to serve him. These words brought happiness and peace to the Mother Earth, devas and gods assembled there.

In the famous city of Mathura, Vasudeva, son of King Surasena, ruling over Mathura city, married Devaki, the daughter of Devaka. Devaki's brother Kamsa took the couple on procession in the decked chariot, to honour them. At that time, Lord's voice sounded that Kamsa will be killed by Devaki's eighth son. Kamsa immediately, out of fear, took his sword and caught Devaki by hair and was about to kill her. Vasudeva pleaded with Kamsa to spare her life but those did not make any positive impact on Kamsa. After Vasudeva promised to hand over all his children, the moment they are born, Kamsa let Devaki free. 

When the first child was born, Vasudeva handed over the child to Kamsa. Even the cruel minded Kamsa for a moment got attracted to the beauty of child and thought of sparing him. Sage Narada prompted by Lord, advised him that he is an asura and Yadavas were Devas, Hari the master of Maaya will be born in any of the birth to kill him. Kamsa then chased the yadavas and killed the child and this cruel action continued for all 6 children born to Vasudevan and Devaki. 

The King of Serpants, Adhisesha entered the womb of Devaki, when she concieved for seventh time, Lord prompted yoga maaya to transfer the fetus to the womb of Rohini. Lord then entered the womb of Devaki at her eighth pregnancy. Devas and Gods praised the Lord in appreciation for his avathaaram as Sri Krishna to commence on earth sooner.

Bhattathiri overwhelmed with the love, devotion and appreciation for the Lord Krishna prays to him to remove his sufferings and grant him devotion to Lord, which can lead to salvation.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 36 - PARASURAMA AVATHAARAM

Dasakam - 36 - Parasurama Avathaaram

Lord had incarnated as Dattatreya earlier, born to sage Atri and Anusooya. Attracted to him for his yogic powers, many disciples thronged his place. This was a hindrance to his Dhyanam, So he stayed alone with his wife Muktha kannikai.  King Kaartaveeryarjuna was extremely devoted to Dattathreya. When he visited, Dattatreya granted psychic powers consisting of eight siddhis and promised death only in his hands.

To make the boon come true and also because of enmity in between kings, which could only be partly kept in check by Kaarthaveeryarjuna's valour, Lord incarnated to reduce the burden on the earth. He was born as the last son of Sage Jamadagni and his wife Renuka and was named Parasurama. By fourteen years of age, he was well versed in vedas. Once Sage Jamadagni got furious with his wife Renuka for her attachment with a gandharva Chittaratha and ordered his sons to behead their mother. First two sons refused to carry out the order. However, Parasurama beheaded his mother and his brothers and after father cooled down, he got the boon to restore them back to life. Happy with Parasurama, Mother Renuka also granted boons.

Jamadgni had brought the divine cow, Kaamadhenu to ashrama to please Renuka. As per Advice from Sage Bhrigu, Parasurama went to Himalayas to meditate on Lord Shiva. Shiva granted him battle-axe or parasu and various other missiles. He killed an asura under Lord Shiva's instruction and became friends with Akruthavranar and returned to the ashram. Meanwhile, at the ashram, once King Kaarthaveerya Arjuna and his huge army visited and they were fed by the milk from the divine cow. On return to palace, King was ill advised by his ministers to purchase the cow, hence he sent his emissary to purchase it from Sage Jamadagni but he refused to sell it. Jamadagni  was killed and the cow and calf were abducted. Furious over the action, Kaamadhenu produced warriors from her body which destroyed king's army, still the calf was abducted by the remaining army of soldiers. Jamadagni was revived by Sukracharya.

Parasurama on his return, came to know of the happenings from father. He immediately invoked Mahaodaran, an emissary of Lord Shiva and received bow, arrows, axe and left to meet the king at Maahishmathi, in a chariot along with Akruthavranar. After King refused to handover the calf, Parasurama fought with Kartaveeryarjuna and his ten thousand sons. King with his sons and seventeen akshauhini army and his friends fought a fierce battle with Parasurama. Most of them were killed by the battle axe of Parasuraama and some fled. 

Kartaveeryarjuna had thousand arms and he had once, stopped flow of Narmada with his hand to form a dam. He had frightened Ravana by holding him under water and making him go breathless. Such a mighty king gave a fitting fight with his remaining sons, but was soon made powerless by Parasurama. Then Kartaveeryarjuna realised that it should be only Lord. He surrendered to the Lord and was killed and granted salvation immediately.

Remaining sons of the Kartaveeryarjuna king, wanted to take revenge for killing of their father and beheaded Sage Jamadagni. Renuka cried calling her son twenty one times and Parasurama took a vow to kill Kshatriyas who hated brahmins, twenty one times massacred the entire community and then did tarpana to the ancestors at the blood bath called Samanta Panchaka. Sage Jamadagni was revived by the pleased ancestors. When Parasurama tried to fight with Saalva, Sanat Kumarars stopped him from the action and advised that he will be killed later by Krishna.

Parasuraama gave away all land, he conquered from Shatriyas to sage Kashyapa and left to Mahendra parvath for meditation. Once Earth was surrounded by Sea water up to Gokarna, he fired missile of fire at the ocean. Ocean diety in fear withdrew slowly, and upon throwing of sacrificial ladle, the Sruva into the ocean, sea receded  and the land of Kerala came up.

Bhattathiri praised Lord for all his mighty powers in his Parsurama avatharam and pleads to protect him of all his afflictions.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 35 - RAMA AVATHAARAM (PART 2)

Dasakam - 35 - Rama Avathaaram (Part 2)

Meaning of Dhyana Shloka: (Eka Shloki by Poojya Guru Raghavendra Swamigal)

I worship that Shri Rama, by whose grace, Shri Hanuman, who has Lakshmi kaTAkSha (grace), playfully crossed the ocean, reached Lanka after overcoming various obstacles, who after getting the status update from Sita (wife of Rama), destroyed the forest except Ashoka Vana, the place where sita resided, destroyed the entire army (about 80 crores) headed by Akshaya Kumaran, son of Ravana, by merely displaying the power of his palm, who after meeting Ravana in his chamber and burning Lanka into ashes, returned to Rama and worshiped Shri Rama along with other monkeys.

Lord Rama got introduced to Sugreeva by Hanuman, who agrees to help Rama, if he helps him win against Bali. Rama flung the body of Asura Dhundubi with his toe  and pierced row of seven sala trees with one arrow, to prove his might to Sugreeva. He then killed mighty Vali, standing behind the tree, only because Bali treated Sugreeva unfair and with enmity. Rama stayed in the Matanga Muni ashrama during the entire rainy season tormented by the pangs of separation of wife Seeta. Rama conducted pattabhishekam for Sugreeva and instructed him to come and see him in the autumn season, but he did not come. At the prompting by Lakshmana, Sugreeva sent his army of monkeys to search for Sita. Hanuman received Signet ring and a message from Rama and set out on his search mission.

Monkeys explained the Rama charitham to Sampaathi, it grew its wings and flew higher and faster and found Sita in Lanka with its long and distant vision. With the inputs given by Sampaati, Hanuman leaped across the ocean and located her in Ashokavana, gave the ring and took choodamani in return, killed Aksha Kumara in battle, surrendered himself to Brahmasthra and got entangled in it,  during his fight with Indrajit, son of Ravana. Hamuman met Ravana and agitated with the insult made by him, set fire to Lanka and returned to ashrama quickly and gave information about Seetha and her choodamani to Rama.

Rama and Lakshmana led by Sugreeva, Angad and monkey warriors reached the shore of ocean to set out to cross to the other side of the ocean. Vibheeshana, brother of Ravana surrendered to Rama and helped in giving information about his brother's secret tactics in warfare. Samudra Rajan refused to heed to Rama's request to give way even after three days. Rama got angry and was about to pierce it with Fire missile. Scared by its effects, Samudra Rajan gave way. Soon Monkeys built a bridge across the ocean with mountains, stones and logs.  Reaching Lanka, Monkeys attacked rakshashas with teeth, claws and mountains but sooner Indrajit, son of Ravana tied Rama and Lakshmana with Nagasthra, Garuda came flapping his wings immediately, releasing both of them. 

Lakshmana killed Indrajit when he insulted his maaya shakthi. Ravana got furious and attacked Lakshmana with shakti missile. Lakshmana's breath was slowly slipping of his body and fell unconscious and was revived by herbs of Sanjeevini mountain brought by mighty Hanuman. Lakshmana killed Indrajit and Rama killed kumbakarna, brother of Ravana. Using the Ratha and armour given by Indra, Rama fought with Ravana and killed him by cutting off his row of heads by Brahmasthra. Rama accepted Seetha Maatha after she was sanctified by fire god and returned to Ayodya in a pushpaka vimana along with Vibheeshana, Hanuman and army of monkeys.

With the divyabhishekam from water brought from several holy rivers, Sage Vashishtar conducted Pattabhishekam for Rama and Seetha couple and Rama ruled the kingdom for more than 11,000 years. Seetha  became pregnant and at that time, Rama unable to bear gossip about Seetha for her stay in Ravana's kingdom from a common man in his Kingdom, decided to sacrifice her and hence, sent her to Exile. Bhattadiri as he recites this is overwhelmed with pity for her. Lavanasura was killed by Satrugana and shudra ascetic by Rama. Seetha lived in Valmiki ashrama and gave birth to twin sons Luv and Kusha. 

Rama conducted Ashwamedha Yagam. Several sages and devotees visited the yagnya gathering. Sage Valmiki attended with Luv and Kush and made them render Ramayana sweetly. Under Valmiki's advice, Rama want to take back Sita, but She called her Mother Divine Earth and entered earth. Maatha Seetha returned from where she came back. When Yama reminded Rama of the time, he must return to Vaikunta, Rama rested the responsibility of Kingdom with his sons and sacrificed Lakshmana and departed the earth by submerging in to river Sarayu with all his people, army of monkeys, Sugreeva and reached Vaikunta.

Bhattadiri says that Lord's incarnation as a human being, Rama, is to teach Mankind that excessive attachement to beings or things will lead only to sacrifice and suffering of innocent souls. He requests Lord who taught this truth to the world through his Rama avathar to cure the world of all afflictions.

PS: By reading the Rama charitham, one gets rid of the fear of death; gets liberated from the birth-death cycle; receives best things in this life - from the notes of Sengalipuram Brahmasri Anantharama Dikshithar.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 34 - RAMA AVATHAARAM (PART I)

Dasakam - 34 - Rama Avathaaram (Part I)

Dhyana Slokam: Meaning

Lord Ramachandra, who gave up the kingdom to keep up the promise of his father, who wandered in the forest accompanied by Seetha maatha, from one forest to another on his lotus feet, which were so delicate that they were unable to bear even the touch of Sītā’s palms, who was accompanied by Hanumān [or by another monkey, Sugrīva], king of the monkeys, and by his own younger brother Lord Lakṣmaṇa, both of whom gave Him relief from the fatigue of wandering in the forest, who got Surpanakha's nose and ears cut which resulted in him getting separated from Seetha Maatha, which made him angry causing his eyebrows to narrow, scaring the Samudra raaja, who then allowed the Lord to construct a bridge to cross the ocean and as a result, the Lord entered the kingdom of Rāvaṇa to kill him, like a fire devouring a forest, may that Supreme Lord, Rāmacandra, give us all protection.




Ravana was becoming more powerful and devas prayed to Lord for his destruction. King of Kosala, Dasaratha performed Puthrakameshti yagam with help of sage Rishyashringa. The Lord himself emerged with paayasam and asked Dasharatha to distribute it to his three wives, Kowsalya, Sumithra and Kaikeyi, They concieved immediately. Lord incarnated as Rama together with Lakshmana, Bharatha and Satrugana.

At the instruction by father, Rama took his bow accompanied by Lakshmana, went with Sage Vishwamitra to protect his noble yajnya and reached Dhandaka forest. Pleased with the two, Sage taught them two mantras Balai and atibalai which gives great health and prevented fatigue. Rama killed Taadakaa, a demoness who was troubling the sages from doing yajnyas. Sage Vishwamitra taught all the asthra-shaastras to Rama and Lakshmana and took them to hermitage called Siddashrama.

Mareecha came to disturb the yajna in the very beginning itself. Rama chased him away but killed Subahu and other rakshashas. Ahalya was turned to stone by the curse of  her husband, Sage Gowthama. Rama liberated ahalya from her curse and united her with her husband. Rama and Lakshmana reached King Janaka's palace in Videha kingdom. Rama broke Shiva danush and married Sita, daughter of earth, incarnation of Mahalaxmi. Lakshmana, bharatha and satrugna married three sisters of Sita and couples and set out to Ayodhya.


Parasurama, the descendant of Brigu vamsa confronted Rama, blinded with rage and was defeated. Parasurama handed over all his powers to Rama and went away. Rama reached Ayodhya with Seetha and lived there happily. One day, Bharatha left to his uncle's house along with Sathrugana. During that time, King Dasaratha planned for pattabhishekam of Rama, but the ceremony was stopped by step mother Kaikeyi.

To keep up father's words, Rama taking his bows and arrows, left to exile along with Sita and brother Lakshmana. The people of ayodhya with grief, followed Rama but he advised them to return back to the kingdom. Rama reached the residence of Guhan, the boatman and changed to ascetic dress with matted hair. Guhan ferried the three, across the river ganges and they reached sage Bharadwaja and offered respects to him. Under his guidance, Rama along with Seetha and Lakshmana, left to Chitrakoot and lived peacefully.

Rama came to know that his father died due to separation from his beloved son Rama, through Bharatha, was grief stricken and performed Tarpana for him. Bharata requested Rama to come back and take over the throne. However Rama gave his paadukas to keep them with him and  take care of kingdom in Rama's absence. Rama paid respects to sage Atri and his wife Anusuya and reached Dandaka forest, killed Viraada and gave salvation to Sage Sharabangee.

Rama left Chitrakootam after Bharatha left. He met Sage Agastya  who gave him divine bow of Vishnu, Brahmastra, and other missiles to protect the sages from Rakshashas. Rama met Jataayu, the eagle, Dasaratha's friend and then reached panchavati on the banks of River Godavari and stayed happily with Sita.

Shoorpanakha, demoness attracted by Rama's beauty tried to lure him. Annoyed Rama, sent her to Lakshmana, who cut her nose and ears in anger. Seeing her plight, Karan, Dhooshanan and Trishira came to fight with Rama and Lakshmana and got killed. Rama killed 14000 Rakshahas who accompanied the three demons with his bow.

Shoorpanaka went back to Ravana and gave an account of Seetha's appearance and beauty. Ravana got infatuated and devised plan to abduct her with help of Mareecha. Mareecha acting like a golden deer, lured sita and ran away. Rama went in search of it killed it but Mareecha shouted Lakshmana in Ram's voice before it died. Sensing danger, Lakshmana was forced to look for Rama by seetha. When Seetha was alone, Ravana abducted her. Though Rama was very sad about his separation from Seetha, yet he was happy that now he got a reason for Ravana Vadham.

While taking her to Lanka, Ravana caused fatal wounds to Jataayu for having tried to protect Seetha. Rama performed funeral rites for Jataayu and set on a searching mission with Lakshmana. A monster Kabandha obstructed their way and got killed by Rama. He granted salvation to pious Shabari and met Hanuman on the banks of River Pampaa.

Bhattathiri prays to Lord to protect everyone.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 33 - AMBAREESHA CHARITHRAM

Dasakam - 33 - Ambarisha Charithram

Vaivaswatha Manu got ten children. One was Ikswaku in whose clan, Sri Ramachandra moorthy was born. Ikshwaku's younger brother was Nabhaaagan. His son was Naabhaga. King Ambareesha was the son of Naabhaga. He ruled the earth surrounded by seven seas yet, he was a great devotee of Lord. 

King Ambareesha did all karmas mentioned in Vedhas appropriately with total dedication and surrendered the fruits of it to the Lord. Pleased with him, Lord gave  him, his thousand pointed sudharshana chakra for his protection, even without Ambareesha asking for it.

As a part of his worship, Ambareesha conducted poojas, donating sixty thousand cows to the vedic scholars and performed Dwadashi rituals for a year together with his wife at Maduvana on the banks of river Yamuna. 

One such day, he was to complete the Ekadashi-Dwadashi fast, the Paaranai time (fast completion time) was only for half an hour. King had to serve the sages and Brahmins and take his food too within that stipulated time. At that moment, sage Durvasa and his disciples visited him. Ambareesha welcomed them, offered respects and requested them to take food with him. In order to test Ambareesha, how he attends to guests and complete his fast on time, Durvasa walked to river Yamuna slowly to take bath and took lot of time to return. 

The paaranai time was getting over, still there was no trace of sage Durvaasa from the river banks. He consulted learned sages and brahmins and under their advice, Ambareesha concluded his fast by taking shaalagrama water. Durvasa returned back and understood the events through his yogic powers. He got angry at the king, for having concluded the fast, before his return. Sage Durvaasa created an evil spirit, Krityaa with his matted hair and ordered it to kill Ambareesha.

Krityaa moved ferociously towards Ambareesha, creating fire all around with a sword in hand. But King Ambareesha was ready to take up the punishment. What if, he had unknowingly committed mistake, hence did not move from his place. Seeing the Devotee's plight, Sudarshana Chakra gifted to Ambareesha by Lord, destroyed Krityaa in a second and started to chase sage Durvaasa.

Durvasa ran around the three worlds and was followed by the sudarshan chakra. He went to Brahma and Shiva for protection, but they could not help him. Finally he went to Vaikunta and took refuge in the Lord. Lord told Durvaasa that he is the servant to his devotees and directed him to take refuge in the feet of King Ambareesha himself. 

Durvasa came back from Vaikuntam and held the feet of  Ambareesha tightly. Still the Sudarshana chakra did not leave the sage. The embarrassed Ambareesha, with lot of empathy for the sage, prayed to the divine chakra to return back to Lord and leave the sage unharmed. Durvasa understood the king's devotion to Lord and kindness and blessed him.

King Ambareesha who stayed without food for the whole year, till Durvaasa returned, now happily fed him with sumptuous lunch, bid him farewell and then took lunch. His increased devotion to Lord, in due course of time, lead him to salvation and merged with Lord himself. Bhattathiri pleased at Lord's mercy for his devotees, requests that he be protected.

PS: This Charithram explains the greatness of devotion, the glory of following Ekadashi upavasa and Dwadashi Vrathams - From the explanatory notes of Sengalipruam Brahmasri Anantharama Dikshithar.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 32 - MATSYA AVATHARAM

Dasakam - 32 - Matsya Avatharam

Sathya yuga was about to end and Pralaya was to take place at the end of the sixth Manvantara. Brahma went to sleep, asura Hayagriva emerged from his face, stole the Vedas and hid himself deep in the ocean. The power for creation for Brahma came from these vedas, so Lord decided to incarnate as Matsya (fish) and save the world before the Pralaya.

The king of Pandya Kingdom called Satyavrata, later known as Manu, was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. One day when he was doing Deva, Rishi tarpanam in waters of Kritamalaa river, the one which runs to the south of present vaigai river in Madurai. Lord entered in to his hands as tiny fish.

When Satyavrata was about to leave the fish in to water, the fish requested it to be protected. Satyavrata then left the fish in his kamandala of water, and took it to his ashram. Next day, it grew big in size and as the fish kept on growing bigger, it was moved to well, then to a pond, then to a river and finally to ocean.

Sathyavratha took the fish to the ocean by sensing the uniqueness of it by his yogic powers. He saw the fish grow bigger in ocean too and questioned it as to who it really was. As the chance of fish growing up so fast and big is not possible, he decided that it should be Lord himself in fish form.

Lord appeared before satyavratha and told him the reason for his incarnation. Lord asked him to wait for pralaya which would come in seven days. On the seventh day, rains came, water submerged the entire earth. Sathyavratha and divine saptarishis took refuge in Lord, when earth in the form of boat approached them and carried them. As boat was being tossed in turbulent ocean, Lord appeared in the form of fish with a horn and asked the boat to be tied to its horns by the king of serpents, Vasuki.

As the boat was being pulled and taken around various regions of the universe, King Satyavarata and divine sages sang Lord's glory and pleased with it, Lord imparted the knowledge of aatman. At the end of the deluge, Saptharishis were put back in their places and Sathyavrata was reborn as the Vaivasvatha Manu.

Now Lord went in search of the asura Hayagriva and attacked him with rage. Hayagriva was made powerless and his chest was tore apart by the horns of the fish. Lord recovered the Vedas from Hayagriva and handed over them to Brahmaa to restart the creation.

Bhattathiri praised the Lord who came in form of Fish to restore vedas and advise the knowledge of atman to Sathyavratha and Saptharishis and requested to be protected.

PS: We get to know from Matsya avatharam that Lord only can help us cross the samsara sagaram. To help us cross the samsara sagaram with the blessing of Lord, we need a boat which is "Sathguru". One who listens to this or chants this, will get rid of all sins and get to cross the samsara sagaram easily, will get all their wishes fulfilled. - from the explanatory notes of Sengalipuram Brahmasri Anantharama Dikshithar.

Three "S" we need to remember in life. Samsara, Sathguru, Sathsang - from the Sapthaaham notes of Guru Savithri Mami.
