duritAraNya pAvakanU = Purifier of our forest like sins

koTTudanu = whatever is given to Him by His devotees (with knowledge &

understand that He has flawless qualities, He is saRvOttama and that He

is the Redeemer of our sins)

kaigoMba = He would accept them

araxaNa = half a second

biTTagala = cannot live without them (His devotees)

tannavara = His devotees

dUradali = far away

aTTuvanu = drive them away

beTTa = maMdara mountain

bennali = on His back

horisidavaroLu = on those dEvata-s who made Him carry (the maMdara mountain)

siTTu mAdidanEnO = did He get angry? (Meaning – He did not get angry)

hari = ParamAtma

kaMgeTTa = those (dEvata-s) who were gloomy by the poison which was propelled by VAsuki

surarige = dEvata-s

ParamAtma is easily bound by His devotees and showers affection to those

who have a natural attitude of Lord-servant relationship with Him and He

accepts a leaf, a flower, fruit or water which is offered with devotion

and shows immense satisfaction and blesses them as referred in Bhagavad

gIta.

-- If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or

water, I will accept it.

 

He also becomes their “friend in need” and He does not separate Himself

from them even for half a second and remains as their biMba rUpa. He

drives away their sins (aj~nAna coming in the way of j~nAna) which are

as thick as a forest. He never gets angry with His devotees.

 

Here JagannAtha dAsa gives a fine example.

 

dEvata-s and asura-s jointly carried out the samudramathana to obtain

amR^ita. They began to churn the xIrasamudra with the help of maMdara

mountain and Vasuki snake. After some time the maMdara mountain

depressed on the sea bed. The dEvata-s became gloomy and they implored

upon shrIman nArAyaNa to help them. ParamAtma heeded to their prayers

and took the form of kURma (tortoise) and carried the maMdara mountain

on His back and the process of churning continued, but ParamAtma was not

annoyed with the dEvata-s. He in fact took the form of dhanvaMtari

brought the amR^ita kaLasha (nectar) and distributed it to the dEvata-s.

The asura-s were angry and geared up for a battle. At that time

ParamAtma took the mOhini rUpa and fascinated the daitya-s, confused

them and then defeated them in a battle (- in puruSha rUpa) and made the

doomed sura-s immortal. This shows the the kindness showered by

ParamAtma on His true devotees. Thus it is known that He is really

“siTTinavanalla” -He is never angry with His devotees, as stated in

HKAS_02-26, which is now exemplified with this example of HiskURmAvatAra.
