SUMMARY: This most charming Varadaraja is most romantic, certainly. If he was

not so, he would not have chosen Kanchee, a very distinct place of his consort

Mother Earth, to reside.

Sri Vadirajaru has deftly described Lord Varadaraju as well as the place called

Kanchipuram, which is considered to be like the jewel worn by women at the waist

of Earth.

Kanchi is considered to be one of the seven holiest places known to provide

salvation to the devotees. Kashi and Kanchi are like two eyes of Lord Rudra. It is said that when Lord Brahma performed a sacrifice here, Lord Vishnu manifested out of the sacrificial fire in the form of Sri Varadaraju. It is mentioned in the Lalitopakhyana in Brahmanda Purana that when Lord Brahma did penance seeking the Darshan of Goddess Lakshmi, she appeared in front of him along with Lord Narayana.

Kanchi is known to have been made of two parts namely Shivakanchee and Vishnukanchee.

Kancheepuram is well connected by train and surface transport.

A temple dedicated to Sri Varadaraju is situated in Vishnukanchee. The temple is about three miles away from the railway station. Shivakanchee is against about three miles away from Vishnukanchee.

Sri Vadirajaru has dedicated two more stanzas in praise of Sri Varadaraju. These two stanzas will be furnished in the next episode.

SUMMARY: Most knowledgeable (Sarvajna) younger brother of Sri Madhwaru was the head priest (Hotru) of the sacrifice that Sri Madhwaru got performed by the son of his Guru; he (younger brother of Sri Madhwaru), by chanting the Mantras eulogizing the deities through proper variations in the sound, made the respective deities happy.

Younger brother of Sri Madhwaru came to be known as Sri Vishnu Tirtharu after he was initiated into sainthood.

Yajya refers to the second Ruk or sentence of the holy chant that the priest pronounces before offering the specified item into the sacrificial fire. AnuvAkyA is a phase involved in the conclusion of the sacrifice. Pravargya, Vibhava and AbhiShTava are related to the performance of the sacrifice for which there is no word in English to exactly convey the meaning.

SUMMARY: Very sharp and intellectual brother of Sri Madhwaru reached the part of offerings to respective deities like Agni (Fire God), Vayu (Air God) and others by disappointing the Asuras and demons, who tried to spoil the sacrifice, by employing sharp weapons of appropriate holy chants, like a super Victor.

Here is an indication that proper pronounciation of appropriate Mantras or holy chants ensure perfect completion of sacrifices not only by driving away the deterrents such as attacks of demons or evil spirits but also conveying the offerings to respective deities so that they get satisfied and pleased to bless the performer. Fire God, Air God and other recipients of the offerings are known as Vishwedevatas.

SUMMARY: Twelve forms such as Keshava exist in the twelve months; Vedayasa exists in twelve Pundras or Twelve Namas or marks of Gopi worn on the body by Brahmins; Aniruddha and others reside in the Six Ritus; with this firm faith, one should do righteous deeds, without any desire or demand or expectation and pray to Lord Sri Hari, seeking his kindness and grace.

Forms of Keshava and others should be invoked each month commencing from Margasheersha month till Kartika month. Keshava and other eleven forms should be thought of while wearing the twelve linear marks on the body with Gopi Chandana.

दुष्टशूद्रं हत्वा द्विजसुतगुप् “रुद्रपदॆच्छया तपः कुर्वाणं अधःशिरसमूर्ध्वान्घ्रिं लम्बमानं जन्घनामकसुररूपं तम्बूकनामकशूद्रं हत्वा, तत्कृताधर्मॆण मृतं द्विजकुमारं जीवयित्वा।“

SUMMARY: He killed a demon named “Shambooka”, who was an incarnation of demon called “Jangha”, who was doing penance by staying with his head down and legs up with the intention of attaining the position of Rudra, and made a Brahmin boy, who had died due to the crime committed by Shambooka, live.

Details: Once, an elderly Brahmin reached the entrance of Ayodhya with the corpse of his young son. Crying inconsolably, the elderly Brahmin said: “Oh my unfortunate son! This is the kingdom of Lord Rama where there is question of youngsters dying before the elders. It appears I have committed some serious crime in my previous birth. That is why, you have demised before me. Oh child, please wake up and speak a few sweet words and make your weeping mother happy. If you do not open your mouth now, I and your mother will end our lives to join you in the journey of no-return.”

“Srirama is the sole protector in all the three Lokas. Let him protect me too. None else is as kind as Srirama. Let that embodiment of kindness protect me.”

This appalling appeal of the Brahmin was heard by Narada, who was amidst many distinguished Munis.

Narada told Srirama: “Oh Lord Srirama, the Goddess of Dharma has four legs that are symbolic of pure penance, pure body, pure speech and pure mind, besides kindness and truthfulness. This Goddess of Dharma is in the form of a cow. Similarly, even the Goddess of Adharma has four legs. At the beginning of Kruta Yuga, the four legs are complete in every respect. At the end of Kruta Yuga, the leg symbolizing penance starts deteriorating and this is evident from the disturbance that those engaged in penance face. Similarly, during Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga, the other three legs start deteriorating and the legs of Adharma gain strength. This is evident from the fact that Brahmins indulge in non-Brahmin practices and none follows his or her traditional and cultural habits. Therefore, it is essential to identify the person who has deviated from his established cultural ethos and punish him. Otherwise, instances such as the one in front of us where a younger one is dead in front of an elderly person, start occurring frequently. It is pertinent now to identify the reason for the death of a young Brahmin boy even as his father is alive still.”

Srirama appreciated Narada for his analysis and ordered Lakshmana to console the Brahmin. Lakshmana pacified the lowing Brahmin. Srirama just remembered the Pushpak Airplane and it arrived. Srirama boarded the plane and launched a journey in that plane to visit every corner of his kingdom. Being omniscient and omnipresent, Srirama was aware of what was happening but pretended to be unaware of the activities happening around. After searching in the three directions of east, west and north, Srirama turned towards the south. He reached a pond near a mountain called “Shaivala”. There he saw a man lying upside down and doing penance. Srirama went close to that person and asked “Who are you?”

The person lying upside down replied: “I am a non-Brahmin. My name is Shambuka and I want to replace Lord Rudra and ascend his throne because anyone sitting on the seat of Rudra gets the power to kill everyone. Once I usurp the throne of Rudra, I will kill everyone and become the emperor of all the fourteen Lokas. I am doing the penance to usurp the position of Rudra.

A demon called Jangha did penance to impress upon Goddess Parvati with the desire to be alive till the term of Lord Brahma. He wanted to be the husband of Goddess Parvati. He also wanted to kill everyone and roam about with Goddess Parvati in all the Lokas. With these demands, Jangha was also doing penance standing upside down.

Srirama beheaded that demon with his sword. Indra and other deities came there and showered the flowers like the coral flower (Jatropa multifida) or Parijata on Srirama. Srirama then ordered Indra and other deities to make the Brahmin boy alive. The deities said that Shambuka was also doing penance with same desire. Shambuka was a non-Brahmin and the Brahmin boy would become alive soon after Shambuka died. Srirama again pretended as though he was unaware of this fact and as though he was unaware of the place where Shambuka was doing penance. After searching for Shambuka in a few places, Srirama found him and killed that demon too. After killing Shambuka, Srirama went to the Ashram of Sage Agastya. He was accompanied by all the deities. Sage Agastya worshipped Srirama and other deities, in accordance with their rank and file. The deities returned to their Lokas. Srirama spent a night in the Ashram of Agastya, as requested by the latter. Sage Agastya handed over an extraordinary necklace to Srirama. However, Srirama questioned Sage Agastya about the origin of that necklace.

The background of that necklace, as narrated by Sage Agastya to Srirama will be furnished in the next episode.
