SVS 146 [Bhrajishnu-143] (16.1)

143. OM BHRAJISHNAVE NAMA: ॐ भ्राजीष्णवे नम:
Capable of appearing to those who worship Him, mentioned as Para roopa.

The speech of those who meditate on Sri Hayagriva, will be like the torrent flow of Jhanavi or river Ganges. Swami Desika was administered the Hayagriva mantra by Garuda in Thiruvahindrapuram and was able to see Lord Sri Hayagriva. On September 12th, the Avatar day of Lord Sri Hayagriva, special poojas are to be performed in Thoopul, Thiruvahindrapuram, Chettipunyam [near Madras] and in many scholars' houses. He will ensure very good education for the children. The starting slokas in SVS, 'shuklambharadharam...' denote Sri Hayagriva. Earlier Divine name chaturbhuja suggested that the Lord is with Four hands. Here, bhrajishnu means He appears with Four arms to those who meditate on Him. In Srimad Ramayana, after the slain of Ravana, his wife Mandodari arrives at the battlefield to see the dead body of Ravana. Sri Rama had not met her earlier; nor, she had seen Sri Rama earlier. She laments that Ravana, who conquered Indra and others, should not have abducted Sri Sita and should not have fought with Sri Rama. Because, she says that He is the 'paramatma sanathana:' - the Almighty God. The Lord Sri Rama appears to her alone with Four arms. In a pasuram Perialwar says 'appoochi kattunginran' [அப்பூச்சி காட்டுகின்றான்], which means frightening other children with eyeballs rolling. It seems Sri Krishna was doing this, while playing with His freinds. Arayars [அரையர்], are experts in explaining Alwars' pasurams in dances. Once, when Swami Ramanuja was seated when Arayars were dancing to Perialwar's pasurams. For appoochi, they rolled their eyes. When this word again came in the next pasuram, Arayars instead of rolling the eyes, acted as the Lord holding the discus and conch; or, in other words display of Four arms. On seeing this change, Swami Ramanuja quipped, whether Swami Embar tutored the Arayar. Swami Embar was seated behind Swami Ramanuja and he corrected the Arayar to show the Four arms bhava.
