Thiruppavai _ Summary of Pasuram #3

Let us know the significance of third pahasuram. Lord exhibited two avataras at one time, as Vamana as well as Trivikrama, when he asked Bali to give him three feet of land. Through this pahasuram, Gauda Devi manifests the significance of both these avataras, Through this pahasuram, she says, let us sing the glory of the tiny feet of Vamana, which measure the whole earth that extended to measure the infinite sky by making himself Trivikrama to show how magnanimous he was. Through this avatara, God proves that he is all-pervasive. Gauda Devi declares what benefits we can get if we perform this vratam called the Nirmasa vratam. Through this vrata, we glorify the significance of each of his name and request the Lord, Trivikrama, to give rains three times in a month. And people should lead happy life without any droughts. The crop should grow to the height of the sky. The fish should enjoy their lives in their natural habitat, that's the pond, when the lotus flowers look so beautiful with their wide open petals. The cows should give lots and lots of milk. And the whole world should lead happy and peaceful life. His devotees who perform this vrata should reach him. They should attain salvation. This is what she wants to ask Lord Krishna by performing this vrata. Thus, Gauda Devi makes us believe that he, being all-pervasive, can give whatever we need. Thus, this pasaram reveals the significance of universal benefit as well as salvation to all devotees who perform this vratam with complete capitulation to God. Gauda Devi further declares, wherever Narayana mantra is chanted, there we get good rains and good crops. Though Pandavas became the victims of all Kauravas, wherever they had gone, there were good crops and good rains because every time they had Krishna in their hearts. That is what even Duryodhana also said when he sent his spies to know about the whereabouts of Pandavas during their exile.
