thoo nilA muRRam - part 33 - Sri hEma maha rishi Vaibavam

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Prior to narrating the Vaibavam of Sri ArA amuthan to thiru

kudanthai from Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam and Sri RanganAthar, the

premises that was part of the main reason for this to happen is

explained here. Long ago, Sri Brigu rishi set out on a mission of

para dEvathA nirthAnaram. After meeting BrhamA, and Shiva he went

to meet with Sriman nArAyanA. It is said that he kicked the Lord in

HIS holy chest to see the temperament of the Lord. Instead of

getting angry with him, the Lord made him feel comfortable and was

massaging the very leg that kicked him saying that "you must have

hurt yout legs by hitting my thiru mArbu, I would want you to feel

comfortable in your legs". Sri Brigu rishi, not only realized that

Sriman nArAyan who had this sAntha swaroopam is the paradEvathA and

as well that it is great sin of unthinkable proportions to have

kicked the thiru mArbu of Sriman nArAyaNA. In order to get relief

from this sin, he incarnated as Sri guha AzhwAr in his next birth

and served the Lord. After Sri RamA avahtAram, he incarnated as Sri

hEma maharishi and was doing a very severe thapas in mEru malai for

several years. Sriman nArAyanA appeared asked Sri hEma rishi to

seek or his wishes. Sri hEma maharishi pleaded, "Oh Lord your prANa

vallabhai Sri mAhA lakshmi may become my daughter and I would

request you to bless me the opportunity to do the kaNNigA dhAnam to

you in marriage of yourself and Sri mahA Lakshmi. I seek your

blessings to relieve me from all my sins and finally grant me

mOksham".

 

The Lord replied to him, "Rishivar, So be it. Let me tell

you the upAyam for all these to happen. You must get down and leave

this mountain. You must goto all the puNNiya kshEthrams such as

kAsi where gangai is very prominent and visit many divya dEsams

enroute and finally arrive at the banks of the kAuveri in which Sri

BrahmA has done many yAgAs in the past several kalpAs. In that

place there is a puNNya pushkarani. There is a swarna lotus flower

along with several other lotus flowers. There is a lotus flower

with 1000 petals and SrimahALakshmi in the name of Sri kOmaLa

valli is seated in the centre as similar to a golden branch. SHE is

doing a severe penance, seeking my darshan and union with me as

well. You may reach there and assume HER as your daughter and if

you also do a penance there along with HER, all your wishes will

get fulfilled".

 

Sri hEma mahrishi immediately followed the ANGYA of the Lord

and reached the kumbakOna mahA kshEthram and had the darshan of Sri

kOmaLa valli thAyAr and adopted her as his daughter and was

extremely happy. He then stayed there and used to take a dip in the

holy poRRAmaRai pushkaraNi. He will then sit under the pArijAtha

tree on the northern banks of the pushkaraNi and used to look

forward to the arrival of the Lord everyday as he was also doing

prayers and thapas there.
