Narayaneeyam : An Introduction
With his vast background of learning of the Scriptures, and his profound
grasp of their different systems and aspects, besides Sanskrit grammar
and prosody, Bhattathiri has produced a compendium of the larger epic,
which faithfully adumbrates all the vital constituents of the original in a
lucid style, easy for lay people to understand the abstruse concepts of
philosophy, while, at the same time, highlighting those incidents and
episodes that help to strengthen and deepen the reader's faith in the
basic theme of Bhakti, and practice its essential steps in daily life.
In Dasakam 45, Verse 9, Bhattathiri makes a bold assertion that the Lord
resorted to taking the curd or butter and ghee by stealth from the
homes of the Gopis (cowherd women), instead of begging them for these,
after his humiliating experience of begging for paces of land from Bali in
the Vamana incarnation. It is said that through the voice of an "asariri"
(disembodied voice) emanating from the garbhagriha (Sanctum
Sanctorum), the Lord approved of the poet's assumption.
Conclusion
Introduction to Narayaneeyam
The Narayaneeyam, a great Sanskrit epic, is a brilliant condensation in
1036 shlokams (stanzas) of the great epic Bhaagavatham composed by
Sage Vyaasa. The Bhaagavatham describes the entire Hindu beliefs and philosophy
of the origin of the Universe and the purpose of human existence. It also
describes the various incarnations of the Supreme Being to re-establish
righteousness and order in the Universe from time to time. According to Hindu
thought, all beings are subject to continual cycles of birth-life-death-
rebirth. Bhaagavatham contains advice and instructions for human beings to
achieve Moksha (Salvation) to break out of this eternal cycle and attain Union with
the Supreme Being at His Lotus-Feet
( By P.R.Ramachander )
