Notes:
This is a classic example of nindA stuti, where the Lord is covertly praised but overtly reproached. In the pallavi, the saint has questioned Rama's capability to do any good to his devotees. In the
very next lines in the anupallavi, he reverses his stance and praises the Lord as one who destroys sins and is home to all the good attributes. In the charanam he cites examples of the Lord's (ostensibly) strange behaviour towards his devotees.
1. Sita, his wife, went to the forest twice. The first time with Rama, where she was abducted by Ravana. This was the catalyst for vanquishing the great evil King and countless demons. In the
second instance she was banished in an advanced stage of pregnancy. This was the catalyst for Valmiki who composed the Ramayana and also taught it to Rama's sons.
2. Surpanakha was inflamed with passion for Rama and had her nose lopped off. This was the catalyst for Ravana's destruction.
3. Narada approached the Lord with a request to be made immune to Maya. The story goes that Narada boasted to Brahma and others that since he was such an ardent devotee of Vishnu, he was immune to Maya. Having said this he left and was floating about when he saw a lovely lake on Earth. He came down and bathed in it and was immediately transformed into a young maiden called Sudati who had no memory of having been Narada. As she wandered in the forest, King Nikunda of
Peethikapuri (modern Pitthapuram in AP) saw her and fell in love with her. Narada (or rather Sudati) reciprocated and they were married. Sudati bore Nikunda sixty children, after whom the sixty years
of the Hindu calendar (Prabhava, Vibhava etc are named). One day, Nipunjaya, the neighbouring king waged war on Peethikapuri and killed Nikunda and his sixty sons. Queen Sudati ran to the battlefield and wept for days. Then one day, she was overcome with hunger and looked about for
food. The only edible item there was a fruit that hung high on a tree. To reach it, Sudati used the skeletons of her sons to make a ladder. Lord Vishnu, now taking pity on her appeared and asked
her to take a dip in a second lake nearby for her children's sake. She did so and was transformed back into Narada, but with a set of bangles on his left hand. These bangles served to bring to his memory the happenings of the past years and helped him realise that he had become a victim of Maya. The two lakes Narada Gundam and Mukti Gundam are at Sarpavaram near Pithapuram. There is also a temple to Patala Bhavanarayanaswamy here. Narada is said to have undertaken penance here and was then blessed with enlightenment and was freed of the bangles.This was the catalyst to his becoming a renunciate.
4. Durvasa was sent by Duryodhana to the forest to meet the Pandavas. The brothers and their wife Draupadi were living off the bounty of the Akshaya Patra, a vessel gifted by Surya to them which would continuously have food in it till Draupadi had her meal everyday. Duryodhana sent Durvasa to them, timing his arrival in the forest so that the food would have been exhausted. When Draupadi saw
Durvasa she was in panic for the sage's curses were well known. She requested him to proceed to the river for his bath while she prepared the meal. Krishna in answer to her prayers arrived there and asked her to fetch the magic vessel. He picked up a tiny morsel that was sticking to it and swallowed it. At once the appetites of all living beings were quenched. Durvasa, his hunger gone could not face Draupadi and left hurriedly. This was the catalyst to Draupadi and the Pandavas receiving the blessings of the Sage.
5. Devaki, who had begged to have the Lord as her son, was not allowed to witness his pranks at Gokula. This was the catalyst for the death of Kamsa.
6. The Gopis, all chaste women, were so enamoured of the Lord,that they forgot their own husbands. This was the catalyst for their salvation. The saint therefore points out the greatness of the Lord while
being sarcastic about His achievements. this song was composed by saint Tyagaraja, a great devotee of lord rama!!!
