The
Lord of this kshetram is known under the name "Palli Konda
perumal". He poses as Lord Ranganatha with four hands. In a
way of explaining the Unison of Lord Shiva and Vishnu, Lord Vishnu
has adopted many qualities of Lord Shiva such as dancing (Kuravai
Koothu at Thiru Arimeya Vinnagaram), Accepting Lord Chandra as a
head ornament in Thirushankadu etc, he transforms this place as
his stage for dancing as Lord Shiva took Chidambaram as his dance
stage, and stys still as Ranganatha respresenting stableness Shivalogam.
When Lord Narayana took the Dasawatarams,
the dance which was danced by the Lord after killing Hiranya as
Narashima lots of kings as Lord Parasurama is called as "Shankara
Thandavam".
Lord Krishna dance with the Rishi's
who were born as Gopikas in Gokulam is "Aanandha Thandavam"
Lord's special dance "Koda Koothu" in Thiru Arimeya vinnagram
is a splendity. The actions of Lord Varadharaja, while testing the
devotees and giving warmth to his devotees while giving boons and
showing Vishnupadham using his hands are known as "Anavaradha
thandavam" the dance of Lord Krishna on the top of the Banyan
leaf as an infant kicking and curling, sucking his toes, in the
period of Pralaya is known as "Pralaya Thandavam".
As Lord Shiva showed his dances to
Sivakami Parashakthi, viyakrapadhar, Padanjali, Paanini and Nandhi
deva, Lord Vishnu too has showed glimpses of his dances to piratti
Naachiyar (wife of Lord vishnu), Aadhi Shesha Anathalwan and the
heards of cows too got dharsan of his Yoga naya dance while he was
Lord Krishna at Gokulam.
Here the perumal is in sleeping posture.
Here we may take that either he lying down before dancing or taking
rest after dancing.
Though the Lord is in sleeping posture
his eyes would be wide all the times. The perumal at this
place is known as Shenkann Maal for he has reddish eyes. The eye's
would have become red after performing a very tough dance or would
have become red as he never closes his eyes even while sleeping.
In order to inform people tht the
ideal person explained in the Vedas is noneother than himself, the
vimaanam is named as Vedha Vimaanam. Though the Lord is in sleeping
posture, he is guarding his devotees using Yoga Maya and is seeing
the happenings of the world through his sun like eyes. So the Pushkarani
is named as Surya Pushkarani (Suryan means Sun). |
