Sirikin Cheppadu



When Sri Vishnu hears his devotee Gajendra calling him, he runs to save him. This poem describes how he rushed to the aid of Gajendra. This poem is from Gajendra Moksham in Bhagavatam by Potana.

Vishnu, in his eagerness to save the life of Gaja, does not tell his wife(siri), does not take his sankham and chakram, does not call any of his servents, does not listen to garuda, does not leave the saree of lakshmi that is in his hands.

no hari in the poem. it increases the letters in the padam and spoils the chandassu(metre.Do a quick check and you will know. Only in commentaries and harikadhas- for explanation- hari is added.

that is right SLN.. but the Avatara of GOD which holds SHANKHA CHAKRA.. THE LORD WHO IS A SURVIVOR / PROTECTOR .. is none other than SRI MAHA VISHNU...
