NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 43 - TRINAVARTHA VADHAM

Dasakam - 43 - Trinavartha Vadham

One day Yashodha was carrying baby Krishna on her lap. Suddenly she felt the baby krishna was too heavy for her, to carry on her lap and left him on the bed. She was worried of the baby and kept praying for its welfare to God constantly while attending to her household chores. Then there heard a deafening sound raising dust all through the atmosphere. Demon Trinavarta came in the form of whirl wind and carried Krishna, the one who carries away the mind of people, amidst the envelope of dust and rose upward. 

The dust caused darkness in the entire Gokulam. Gopas and gopikas lost clear vision and mother Yashoda searched for her baby in that darkness. Not finding Krishna, she cried loudly. Meanwhile Trinavarta found baby's body becoming more heavier for him to carry and reduced his speed, his body shrank in size, dust storm and noise of whirling wind also subsided.  Soon the whole gokulam was echoing the cries of Yashoda. Nandagopan and other gopas, gopikas quickly reached the house and everyone cried in grief. 

In exhaustion, Trinavartha wanted to release the Lord, who actually releases everyone from bondages. However Lord did not let his hold of the asura, as a result, he lost his life and fell down from the skies to the earth. The gopas found outside the house, the huge body of asura falling on the rock and smashed. Gopas were amazed to see Krishna playing smilingly, with his lotus like hands on the chest of dead body of Trinavartha, without a single bruise. The Gopas picked up Krishna as if they picked up the blue gem from a big mountain.

Nandagopan and gopas rushed and took the child in arms, embraced and kissed with great joy. Gopikas also wanted to embrace but did not attempt due to their shyness. Knowing their plight, Krishna, like the honey beetle, jumped in to the lotus like hands of the gopikas. Nandagopan and Yashoda wondered how to abet such incidents in future and hence prayed to Govinda to protect their son, actually they prayed to Lord himself for his own welfare.

Bhattathiri  questioned Lord at this point, as to why, if he is strong enough to kill asura who came in the form of wind, is not removing his ailments which are also arising out of winds. If the ailments have been caused due to his past karma, he is helpless and asked what action should he take to get over it. He surrendered to Lord Guruvayoorappan to remove his internal and external ailments.
