SUMMARY: Just like a pure, unstained (blemish less) mirror reflects all the objects kept in front of it and glows, the reflection-like Lord Sri Hari stays in all animate and inanimate beings and objects in multiple forms and shines. In the minds of the righteous, Sri Hari sparkles by staying in them as a stoic (immobile or stagnant), blemish-less, un-shaped and unsheltered (destitute) Lord of innumerable names.

The Lord resides in different forms in all animate and inanimate beings and objects in various forms to keep them active, vibrant, subject to their Karma or past deeds. He is immobile in each and every being or object because, if he gets out, the being or object becomes motionless. The expression ‘motionless’ in the case of inanimate things means that even if an ‘animate’ being tries to move or shake that object, it does not shake. Anything becomes ‘mobile’ only with the will of the Lord. Similarly, the Lord is blemish less forever. He is Nirvikara, which means he has no specific Akara or shape. The incarnations are symbolic representations of Lord Hari, who has no particular shape or form.

त्रिविक्रम न विक्रमं गणयितुं फणी शक्नुतॆ तवॆश नतवॆपथुप्रशमनं परॆ किं पुनः

अजान्डघन भान्डखन्डनपटीयसी यन्मृदुप्रदीप्तनगमॊक्तपन्नखशिखा जगद्व्यापिनी॥३८॥ 

SUMMARY: Oh Lord Trivikrama, even the thousand-hooded Shesha is incapable of your power with which you relieve those prostrating before you from the shiver they may get; how it can then be said that others, apart from Lord Shesha, are incapable of doing it? The tips of your soft nails, which blaze and are praised by the Vedas, are capable of slitting this huge and solid utensil-like Universe.  

Trivikrama is one of the ten prominent incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Initially appearing as a young dwarf Brahmin bachelor (Vatu, who has undergone the thread ceremony and not married) called Vamana. The word Vamana means Dwarf.

Lord #Vishnu was requested by Lord Brahma and other gods, including Lord Indra, the king of heavens, to prevent Bali, a demon king, grandson of Hiranyakashipu and son of Prahlada, from unseating Indra from the throne. Unlike the other demons, including his predecessors and ancestors, Mahabali or Balichakravarthy, took the pretentious, deceitful root of righteousness to unseat Indra. There is a condition that whoever performs 100 (some say 101) Ashwamedha Yajnas will automatically become eligible to occupy the throne of Indra. Bali Chakravarthy was performing the last Ashwamedha (hundredth or hundred and fist). Lord Vishnu incarnated as a dwarf Brahmin bachelor boy (vatu-वटु) and reached the place where Bali was performing the sacrifice. One of the primary conditions laid down for those performing any Yajna is that they should donate liberally and should not refuse to donate something desired by the recipients. Accordingly, Bali Chakravarthy asked the bachelor boy demand anything of his choice. Vamana, the bachelor boy, deftly drives Bali to stand by his words of offering that the Brahmin Boy might ask and when Bali vouched to keep his words at all costs, the boy pronounced what he wanted. The boy demanded Bali that he wanted to have a piece of land could accommodate his three steps. Bali was taken aback by the demand of the boy and said that the three-feet land was paltry and negligible. He wanted the boy to ‘demand’ anything under the Sun. The boy pretended to be adamant and stuck to his real demand. Bali prepares to donate ‘three-feet’ land to Vamana. Shukracharya, the Head Priest and sole Guru or the Master for all demons, guessed that the boy was Lord Vishnu and cautioned Bali against the demand of the boy. However, Bali was helpless. He was bound by his own ‘commitment’ to the boy. He asked Vamana to measure the piece of land he had demanded, earlier. Vamana suddenly expands his form to such a huge, giant form that Bali could not imagine. With one foot, Vamana, who had turned into Trivikrama, covers the entire earth; with the second foot, Trivikrama covers the entire space and other worlds. There was no place for Trivikrama to keep the third foot. #Bali offers his head for Trivikrama to keep the third foot. Lord Trivikrama was impressed with the ‘loyalty’ and ‘sincerity’ of Bali and asked him to demand any boon. Bali demanded that he should be the king of the underworld known as Patala Loka, Lord Vishnu should be the Door Keeper and once in a year, he should be allowed to take a look at the life of people on Earth. Lord Vishnu bestows the boons and also mandates that Bali would be the successor of the present Indra. The name “Trivikrama” is a compound word comprising “Tri” and “Vikrama” whereby “Tri” means three worlds and “Vikrama” means victor.

Sri Trivikrama Temple is on the banks of South Pinakini River.

Sri Trivikrama Temple is one of the “Pancha Krishnaranya Kshetras”, where, it is believed, Naalayira Divya Prabandam was explained to the world, for the first time.

The giant statue of Trivikrama here holds the Conch in the right hand, which is a deviation from the other statues of Narayana and his incarnations. Moreover, The Great Divine Disc is held in the left hand, another notable deviation from other sculptures.    

This temple is also known as Sri Ulagalantha Perumal Temple. It is located in Thirukkovilur or Thirukoilur in Villupuram District, Tamil Nadu. The incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Vamana and Trivikrama has been explained in Sri Bhagavata.    

According to sources, about a thousand years ago, Thirukkovilur was among the four largest cities in Tamil Nadu. The other three such places then were Kanchipuram, Madurai and Thanjavur.

Historically, the most popular Chola Emperor Raja Raja Chola was born inThirukkoilur as the third son of Parantaka Sundara Chola and Vanavan Devi of Malayaman dynasty.

Many shrines dedicated to different deities are located on the premises of Sri Trivikrama Temple.

SUMMARY: In a place, during his journey towards Badari, a person was making all the travellers dig the land. On seeing Sri Madhwaru, he asked Sri Madhwaru also to dig the earth. Sri Madhwaru told that king named Eshwaradeva “please show us how to dig as we do not know how to do it”.

Eshwara Deva was a subordinate king. He wanted to dig a tank in his village. He had ordered that whoever entered or was passing through the village should first dig for the lake from morning till evening, before continuing their journey. Asking Sri Madhwaru too to dig the earth without knowing the greatness of Sri Madhwaru indicated that he was very poor in judging people.

SUMMARY: Oh husband of Parvati Devi, Lord Eshwara, who is wearing the serpents like jewels, who is praised for his attire, who gets furious against unrighteous people, who destroys the follies of his beloved, who is the Lord of Indra, Sun and other deities, who removes the bond of family life and who always resides in the picturesque hill called Arunagiri, please protect us!

Precisely dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Arunachaleshwara temple is more popular as Annamalaiyar temple located on the Annamalai Hills in Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. Considered to be one among the Pancha Bhota Sthalas or places exclusively related to the five elements, the Linga in this temple is known as Agni Linga and is related to Fire. Sri Arunachaleshwara Temple is one of the largest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva in the world and is adored with four “Gateway Towers”, including the Eastern Tower, which has eleven stories and is 217 ft. tall. There is a shrine dedicated to Goddess Parvati here. One thousand-pillared temple, said to have been built during the Vijayanagar empire, is a very attractive temple structure and a prominent one here. Spread across about 10 acres of land,   

the inscriptions seen on the premises of this temple complex relate that the stone structures were raised by the Pallava Kings.

According to a legend, Parvati once closed the eyes of Lord Shiva from behind for fun. Even though the eyes were closed for a moment, the entire universe plunged in darkness for several years. Regretting for her momentary mistake, Parvati did penance to appease Lord Shiva, who appeared as a column of fire at the tip of Annamalai Hills. As a result, the light returned to the universe. With the backdrop of red hills, the temple is very sacred.

There is another legend in vogue about this temple. It is said that a contest arose between Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma on who was superior to the other. Lord Shiva appeared between the two as a flame and asked the duo to find the origin or the tip. Lord Brahma assumed the form of a swan and flew up to find the tip. Vishnu assumed the form of a Boar or Varaha to find out the base. However, neither of them could find the origin or the tip of the flame. Vishnu stated that he could not find the bottom most point of the flame while Brahma said he had seen the pinnacle. Enraged by the lie told by Brahma, Lord Shiva cursed Brahma that he would never be consecrated in a temple on earth.  

Lord Shiva is also known as Annamalayar here. Sacred Tamil works titled Thevaram and Thiruvasagam describe the temples in Thiruvannamalai elaborately with special reference to Sri Arunachaleshwara Swamy temple.
