142. OM CHATHURBHUJAYA NAMA: ॐ चतुर्भुजाय नम:
In the Para Vasudeva form, He has Four arms.
Vyakya mudram karasarasijai pusthakam shanka chakre
bibrat binna spatika ruchire pundarika nishanna|
Amlanasri amrutha vishavai amsubhi plavayanmam
avirbhuyat anaka vahima manase vagadeesa:||
Thiruvonam is an important day and falls on 12th September, 2008. Avani Thiruvonam is very important. It is the Avatar day of Sri Hayagriva, Acharya of goddess Saraswati, and Who taught all Vedas and other texts. It is beneficial for children to worship the Lord as Sri Hayagriva, to acquire knowledge. Today's [8th September 2008] Divine name suggests the Lord with Four hands. In the above sloka, one palm of the Lord is in vyakya mudra or in preaching style. In another arm the Lord is holding Vedas. Upper Two arms are holding discus and conch. Swami Desika addresses Sri Hayagriva as Vagisakya Vasudevasya Murthy. The Lord was born to Devaki in the midnight in jail; but was born with Four arms, with all robes and ornaments, and divine weapons. At His mother's request, He changed Himself to the form of a normal child.
