Divya Prabandham 2 страницаPurport The local people of Thiruvaaipaadi safeguarded the child from the evil eyes of Kamsa. The cowherd people were curious about the child and made frequent visits to see the child. Some of them were of the firm opinion that there is no equal to this great child. Some were certain that since the child was born on an auspicious thiruvona nakshatra day, He was bound to rule all the Worlds.

Purport Some of them picked the mud pots containing butter, curd and milk and rolled them over the floor. Some of them gave away in charity all the ghee, milk and curd they had with them. Some of them were roaming the streets with disheveled hairs, like people not in their ordinary senses
(5) koNdathaaLuRi kOlakkodumazhu thaNdinar paRiyOlaichchayanaththar viNdamullai yarumbannapallinar aNdarmiNdippukundhu neyyaadinaar.
Purport The cowherd clan, with their possessions such as dress made of bark, staff, axe and fiber mattress were celebrating the birth of Krishna with unbounded joy. They laughed heartily showing their shining white teeth in the process, smeared their bodies with oil,sang, hugged each other and danced with ethereal happiness.
(6) kaiyumkaalumn^imirththuk kadaaran^eer paiyavaattip pasunchiRumanchaLaal aiyan^aavazhiththaaLukku angaandhida vaiyamEzhumkaNdaaL piLLaivaayu
Purport One day, child Krishna was being given bath by Yasoda. In a typical way, she stretches the limbs of Sri Krishna and gives him a bath with warm water sanitized by turmeric. Then, when she was about to clean the tongue of little Krishna, Lo and Behold! She saw all the seven worlds inside His small and beautiful mouth.
(7) vaayuLvaiyakamkaNda madan^allaar aayar_puththiranallan arundheyvam paayaseerudaip paNbudaippaalakan maayanenRu makizhndhanarmaadharE.
Purport The innocent women who were with Yasoda at the time of this wonderful display of divine potency by Sri Krishna, also saw for themselves all the worlds displayed inside His little mouth. They were bemused beyond imagination and exclaimed to one another: "This is not an ordinary cowherd child; He is verily the supreme God endowed with most auspicious traits and great magic powers."
(8) paththu naaLumkadandha iraNdaan^aaL eththisaiyum sayamaramkOdiththu maththamaamalai thaangiyamaindhanai uththaanamseythu ukandhanar_aayarE.
Purport on the twelfth day of the birth of child, the inmates of gOkulam gathered together with great pomp to participate in the naming ceremony for the child. The child was named Sri Krishna. They took the child in their hands with great love and affection and recollected how once He effortlessly lifted the Govardhana hill with His little hand and protected the people who were subjected to great suffering by Indra.

Purport Displaying extraordinary strength even as a new born child, Sri Krishna was determined to make it known to Yasoda that He is not an ordinary child. When Krishna was placed inside the cradle, he would kick it and break it. When Yasoda lifted Him from the cradle and placed Him on her slender waist, His legs would encircle her waist with such a force that she would again try to change the position and now securing His limbs, she would keep Him in a position of embrace. Even in this position, He would dive down to her stomach with fierce strength. Experiencing all this, Yasoda tells the other ladies around her that she has become lean because of unbearable acts of little Krishna.
(Note: Some eminent commentators give another meaning to this and say that Yasoda was very much concerned that Krishna was getting thinner because of carrying out such strenuous acts with His tender limbs, unbecoming of a new born child)
(10) sennelaar vayalsoozh thirukkOttiyoor mannu naaraNan nambipiRandhamai minnu nool vittuchiththanviriththa ip pannupaadalvallaarkku illaipaavamE.
Purport The same Krishna who incarnated as an avatar in thiruvaaippaadi is stationed, as Sriman Narayana, at thirukkOshtiyur, a beautiful divya desam surrounded by fertile paddy fields. These pAsurams composed by Vishnu chitthan (periAzhwAr), who wears the sacred thread, describes the glorious period of Krishna's birth. Those who can sing these pAsurams, which are always recited by the learned men, shall be freed from all sins.
first ten second thirumozhi (part I of 2)
Summary Yasoda is enchanted by the extraordinary beauty of Krishna and His childhood activities. She invites her lovely friends to come and see how beautiful Krishna looks. AzhwAr knows that the child is the great Lord who had accomplished astounding feats in His various avatars and now He is just pretending to be an innocent child.

Purport Devaki, who is an aspect of the Devi residing in the cool Thirupparkadal (milky ocean), dispatches child Krishna to Yasoda, the beautiful lady with her lovely hairs decorated with flower garlands. Yasoda beholds the spectacular scene of Krishna chewing His lotus like legs. Vedas exclaim that the Supreme Lord's Thiruvadi (sacred feet) have flood of honey in them. Learned scholars say that He, in whose stomach is contained all the worlds, wished to bless the worlds by symbolically doing this act.

Purport Yasoda decorates all the ten little toes of Krishna's feet with the colors of nine precious gems
(such as diamond, coral etc) and gold. This color arrangement was perfectly matching with Krishna's body color of pearl (maNi vaNNan). Krishna was radiating brilliantly with this decoration. Yasoda invites the ladies gathered there, with brightly decorated foreheads, to witness this spectacle.

Purport Yasoda's beauty is described here. She, as a young lady, has beautiful bamboo like shoulders and breasts full of milk. Baby Krishna embracing her breast with his hand, sucks as much milk to fill his stomach and goes to sleep. Enjoying this blissful moment, Yasoda simultaneously notices how beautiful silver bracelets are looking on His legs. She immediately summons her beautiful lady companions to come and witness this for themselves.

Purport With great difficulty, Yasoda had gathered milk from the cows, made them into curd, churned the butter out of them, made them into ghee and stored them in a number of containers. When nobody was around, Krishna grabbed the opportunity and ate all the ghee without leaving a trace. On seeing this mischief, Yasoda became angry and at the same time she was gripped with fear that Krishna might fall sick consuming such huge quantity of ghee. She took a strong stick with the intention of beating the child. Krishna became afraid on seeing Yasoda's anger and started crawling on His knees to escape. This dramatic event melted Yasoda's heart. She immediately called the other ladies, beautiful with full breasts, to come and witness the scene.

Purport Long time ago, in Narasimhaavathaaram, he tore open the chest of the evil minded Hiraniya kashipu and killed him. On another occasion, demon named poothanaa, instigated by Kamsa, came in disguise as a beautiful lady to feed Him breast milk. Acting as if He wanted to suck milk from her breast, Krishna sucked the life out of her and made her perish. Oh, ladies of exquisite breasts, come and look at the stupendous thighs of baby Krishna, who is sleeping as if nothing had happened!

Purport Achutan (Krishna) was born on the 10th day from hasta nakshatra to the lovely couple Devaki and Vasudeva, the latter is known for rearing elephants. Yasoda invites the ladies, with enchanting smile on their faces, to come and look at little Krishna, who was lying naked.
Note:Here commentators opine that AzhwAr avoids quoting exact nakshatra of Krishna out of fear that evil minded Kamsa and his associates might try to harm/kill the child by misusing the nakshatra in black magic.

Purport Kamsa plans to kill Krishna by instigating a rogue elephant to charge towards Him. The great Lord Krishna easily plucks the two tusks of the elephant with His hands and killed both the elephant and its mahout. Yasoda invites the ladies with brightly decorated foreheads, to come and see Krishna who was wearing a lace thread, filled with corals and pearls, across His beautiful waist.

Purport When playing with other children, Krishna always stood alone on one side, while other children, were forced to make a single group against Him on the other side. He played like a tusked baby elephant, giving prominence only to His abilities. Yasoda calls the ladies, decorated with shining jewels, to come and see Krishna's beautiful navel.

Purport Krishna, who is of the color of ocean with its roaring waves, is cheated by Yasoda in a way that while breast feeding Krishna, she ties an old rope around His tender waist without His knowledge. It is well known to everyone that Krishna ransacked the entire stock of butter, milk, curd, ghee and other eatablies from the houses of cowherds and ate them. This act of mischief gave rise to a lot of complaints raised by the cowherd women against Him. Yasoda had no other choice but to take the harsh step of tying up Krishna with a rope around His waist and the other end of the rope tethered to a mortar. Yasoda invites the ladies with shining bangles on their hands, to come and see Krishna's beautiful stomach with a rope still around it.

Purport Tied to a large morter, Sri Krishna pulled it with His might and along with it walked between twin arjuna trees, which resulted in Nalakoobaran and Manigreevan
(sons of Lord Kubera) getting absolved of a curse. His radiant chest adorned with lovely Koustuba jewel is so enchanting to the sight that Yasoda couldn't wait any longer in inviting her lady friends, who themselves were adorned with brilliant jewels, to have a glimpse of Krishna.

Purport The little Krishna, when He was just four-five months of age, was accomplishing extraordinary feats that were way beyond His age. Once, Yasoda left Him alone in a cradle underneath a big wheeled cart and went to Yamuna. Seizing the opportunity, a demon named Chakatasuran, who was sent by kamsa to kill Krishna, infused his spirit into the cart and sprang forward to kill Krishna. Lo ! what happened then is a story. Krishna didn't seem to have exerted Himself much as He lifted His cute legs and kicked the demonized cart/wheel, enough to crumble the cart and crush the asura at the same time. On another occasion, He killed Poothana, a demon sent by Kamsa, who came in disguise as a beautiful lady with a tall stature. Yasoda invites the ladies with curly hairs to come and have a look at the mighty little shoulders of Krishna.

Purport Wearing mascara on her already beautiful eyes, Yasoda brought up Krishna, never taking her eyes off Him even for a moment. Eminent scholars have tastefully commented on this aspect stating that the black color of Krishna is probably due to her constant gazing at Him with her beautiful black eyes. At times, Krishna used to appear before Yasoda with Chakra and Conch in His hands. His palms contained the marks of Chakra and Conch, which denoted that He is a maha purusha (supreme person). Yasoda invites the ladies, who were wearing golden ear ornaments, to have a look at Krishna's palms.
(13) vaNdamar poonguzhal aaychchi maganaagak koNdu vaLarkkinRa kOvalak kuttaRku aNdamum naadum adanga vizhungiya kaNdam irundhavaa kaaNeerE kaarigai yeervandhu kaaNeerE.
Purport Yasoda always keeps fresh flowers on her hairs to be of a pleasant disposition to Krishna. Sri Krishna, a fostered son of Yasoda and Sri Nandagopa, grows up happily in their overwhelming care. Yasoda invites the lovely ladies to see the beautiful neck of Krishna, who at the time of dissolution of the Universe, swallowed all the worlds and all that is contained in them and kept them protected in His stomach.
(14) enthoNdai vaaychchingam vaavendru eduththukkondu anthondai vaayamu thathariththu aaychiyar thamthondai vaayal tharukkip parugum ich chenthondai vaayvandhu kaaNeerE Seiyizha yeervandhu kaaNeerE
Purport The cowherd girls became exuberant on seeing Krishna. They would call Him by pet names like 'you lion cub', 'you young elephant' etc and take Him into their hands. Out of great affection for Krishna they would press their red colored lips with that of Krishna's and imbibe the nectar from His mouth. Yasoda invites the ladies with the best ornaments in their body, to come and see the rosy lips of Krishna.
(15) nOkki yasodai nuNukkiya manjaLaal naakku vazhiththu neeraattum innambikku vaakkum nayanamum vaayum muRuvalum mookkum irundhavaa kaaNeerE moykuzhaleer vandhu kaaNeerE
Purport This pAsuram describes the beauty of Krishna. Yasoda, while giving Him a tongue-clean with a turmeric stick, followed by a bath, is enthused by His baby talks, gets mesmerized by His eyes and enchanted by His smiles and His red coral colored lips. She calls the ladies with bushy hair styles, to come and see the charming boy.

Purport He took an Avataar on this Earth, by being born as a child to Nandagopa (to be understood figuratively). He dispelled the fears and hard times of the demigods of heavenly planets by quelling the might of asuras. Ever admiring the great abilities of Krishna, Yasoda invites the ladies with golden bracelets to see the beautiful eyes of Krishna.
(17) paruvam nirambaamE paarellaam uyya thiruvin vadivokkum devaki pettra uruvu kariya oLimaNi vaNNan puruvam irundhavaa kaaNeerE pooNmulaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE
Purport Even at the young age, as a little child, Krishna decimated the asuras for the welfare of the worlds and its' inhabitants. He is now born from the womb of Devaki, an aspect of Mahalakshmi, and possess a body that has the color of a black pearl. Yasoda gets attracted by His sharp eye brows and summons the ladies, their breasts decorated with ornaments, to come and see the beauty.
(18) maNNum malaiyum kadalum ulagEzhum uNNun thiRaththu magizhnthuNNum piLLaikku vaNNa mezhilkoL makarak kuzhai ivai thiNNam irundhavaa kaaNeerE Sei yizhaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE
Purport At the time of great dissolution, Emberumaan swallows the earths, mountains, oceans and the seven worlds and tucks them happily inside His stomach for their protection till they are released back. Such unimaginable Supreme being, now taken birth as a mortal, is wearing fish-shaped ear ornaments and Yasoda, yet again, calls upon the ladies, adorned with ornaments, to come and see this Child.
(19) mutrilum thoothaiyum munkaimMel poovaiyum sitRilizhaithuth thiritharu vOrgalLai patrip paRiththukkondu Odum paramanthan netri irundhavaa kaaNeerE Nerizhaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE
Purport Krishna would be looking for the little girls playing the game of house construction from the mud and stones stacked on the streets, utensils and other equipments. He would grab their hands and snatch away all their possessions and run away. Tired of running, small droplets of sweat would be visible on Krishna's forehead. Yasoda invites the ladies, wearing excellent ornaments on their body, to catch sight of Krishna.
(20) azhagiya paimponnin KolangaikkoNdu kazhalgaL sadhangai kalanthu yengu maarppa mazha kandrinangaL maRiththuth thirivaan kuzhalgaL irundhavaa kaaNeerE kuvimulaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE
Purport Krishna wielded a nice stick, made of pure gold, in his hands to control the calves while He wandered the streets of Gokulam as a cowherd boy. The ornaments and the anklets adorning His legs used to make melodious musical sounds that kept the herds in a group without going astray. Yasoda invites the ladies with conical shaped breasts to have a look at the curly hairs of Krishna. Through this pAsuram AzhwAr intends to glorify the Lord from His lotus Feet to the Head, is the opinion of scholars.
(21) suruppaar kuzhali yasodai munsonna thiruppadha Kesaththai then pudhu vaippattan viruppaa luraiththa irubadho dondrum uraippaar pOy vaikunthath thondruvar thaame.
Purport In this pAsuram, AzhwAr says that he, belonging to the land of beautiful Srivilliputtur, rendered these pAsurams with authority, reflecting Yasoda's living experiences with Sri Krishna at the time of His divine birth, glorifying His immense bodily beauty- from Feet to Head, the stories of which she profusely shared with the ladies of Gokulam. Those who recite these 21 pAsurams will go to Sri Vaikundam and render service to the Lord.
