SLAYING OF HIRANYAAKSHA


Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 01
हिरण्याक्षं तावद्वरद भवदन्वेषणपरं
चरन्तं सांवर्ते पयसि निजजङ्घापरिमिते ।
भवद्भक्तो गत्वा कपटपटुधीर्नारदमुनि:
शनैरूचे नन्दन् दनुजमपि निन्दंस्तव बलम् ॥१॥

Oh Varada ! Hiranyaksha was roaming about in the knee-deep waters of the delugelooking for Thee. At that time, Sage Narada then approached the Asura,Hiranyaksha who was at that time wandering about in the waters in search of Vishnu.The waters of ocean hardly reached his knees.So you can imagine the huge size of the Asura.Narada was a great diplomat.He flattered the Asura and vehemently criticized the Lord to achieve his end.

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 02 
स मायावी विष्णुर्हरति भवदीयां वसुमतीं
प्रभो कष्टं कष्टं किमिदमिति तेनाभिगदित: ।
नदन् क्वासौ क्वासविति स मुनिना दर्शितपथो
भवन्तं सम्प्रापद्धरणिधरमुद्यन्तमुदकात् ॥२॥

Narada, who wished to provoke the demon against Thee, "Alas!" Narada said, "How is it thatthe deceitful Vishnu is allowed to whisk away your 'earth', O mighty one?" The Asura roared with rage, "Ha, Ha, Ha!Where is this Vishnu? Where is he?" where he was. Thus, following the direction given by the sage, he reached Thee, as Thou were rising up from the waters with the earth..

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 03
अहो आरण्योऽयं मृग इति हसन्तं बहुतरै-
र्दुरुक्तैर्विध्यन्तं दितिसुतमवज्ञाय भगवन् ।
महीं दृष्ट्वा दंष्ट्राशिरसि चकितां स्वेन महसा
पयोधावाधाय प्रसभमुदयुङ्क्था मृधविधौ ॥३॥

As he saw the huge animal form of Vishnu,the Asura could not control his laughter.He abused the Lord, "O, this is only a wild animal." In the meantime, Mother Earth resting on the tusks of Varaaha was trembling in fear due to the confrontation by the demon.The Lord then placed the earth gently on the waters and got ready for a fight.

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 04
गदापाणौ दैत्ये त्वमपि हि गृहीतोन्नतगदो
नियुद्धेन क्रीडन् घटघटरवोद्घुष्टवियता ।

निरुन्ध्या: सन्ध्यात: प्रथममिति धात्रा जगदिषे ॥४॥

As the Asura To start with, there was a fight with mace ("Gada")between Vishnu and Hiranyaksha was armed with a mace, Thou too flourished a mighty mace and sportingly gave him battle. As the clang of the clashing maces resounded in the sky, the hoasts of gods assembled eagerly to see the dual..Brahma cautioned the Lord that the demon had to be killed before nightfall.

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 05

गदाघाताद्भूमौ झटिति पतितायामहह! भो: ।

During that combat, the Asura's stroke suddenly knocked down Thy mace to the ground. With a smile on Thy face Thou invoked Thy discus (Sudarshana) which is well known for slaying of the race of the Asuras. Thou looked magnificent as the invoked discus placed itself in Thy hands with a radiant smile.

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 06
तत: शूलं कालप्रतिमरुषि दैत्ये विसृजति
त्वयि छिन्दत्येनत् करकलितचक्रप्रहरणात् ।

Hiranyaksha then took a trident,which was broken to pieces with the discus (Chakra).The demon then hit the Lord with his fists.He also resorted to various magical feats of warfare. against Thee,which may deceive the whole world but does not effect Thee who are above all Maya.

When the illusions created by the Asura were all dispersed being hit by a powerful spark of Thy divine discus, the Asura's mind was overcome by intense rage ;While the Asura was madly attacking the Lordwith heavy punches with his fist,the Lord in the form of Varaaha gave a fatal blowwith the toe of His leg at the base of the ear of the demon.

Then those great sages,whose hearts were delighted, with deep, enhanced, fervour, extolled Thy virtues The Sages began to sing various hymns in praise of the Lord in the special "Avatar" of "Varaaha Murthy".The form of Varaaha symbolically representedthe very embodiment of a "HOLY YAGNA".

Dasakam: 013 -- Shlokam: 09
त्वचि छन्दो रोमस्वपि कुशगणश्चक्षुषि घृतं
चतुर्होतारोऽङ्घ्रौ स्रुगपि वदने चोदर इडा ।

O Infinite Lord! In Thy skin are the Vedic Mantras, Thy hair are the 'kush' grass, Thy eyes are the ghee, Thy feet are the four sacrificing priests, Thy face is 'sruk',( the ladel for sacrifice) and Thy stomach is the 'Ida' (the vessel which holds the sacrificial ingredients), Thy tongue is the soma pot. O Lord! Thy ears are the chamasas (the vessel which holds the sacrificial remnants) and Thy virility is soma. O Bestower of Boons! in Thy neck are the sacrifices called Upasat, (the subsidiary rites). Thou are the embodiment of the holy Yagna.The Sages could see through, that each and every partof the body of the Great Boar, "VARAAHA",compared magnificently well withsome ingredient or other, some utensilor priest or thing required for a holy, sacrificial "YAGNA".
