SVS 302 [Chandramshur - 282] (30.7)

282. OM CHANDRAMSHAVE NAMA: चंद्राम्शावे नम:
Like the Moon, He showers prosperity on His devotees and delights them.

The Lord is gracing as Sri Sthalasayana Perumal in Thirukkadalmallai [திருக் கடல்மல்லை], popularly known as Mahabalipuram. When we come to this place from Chennai, we come across another Kshetram, Thiruvidavendai [திரு இடவெந்தை], where the Lord is Sri Varaha aka Sri Nitya Kalyana Perumal. In Mahabalipuram, near the main sannidhi is another sannidhi of Thiruvalavendai [திரு வலவெந்தை]. He is also called Sri Gyanapiran [ஸ்ரீ ஞானப் பிரான்].



In Thiruvidavendhai, the Lord Sri Varaha is holding Sri Bhudevi on His left hand, while as Thiruvalavendhai, He is holding Her in His right hand! Chittirai - Utthirattadhi [சித்திரை-உத்திரட்டாதி] is Sri Varaha Jayanti. Chandramsu means like the Moon, He showers the nectar or amrut. Sages meditating on Him, are happy to see Moon. Sri Rama is compared to the Moon, as everyone wants to see Him again and again! Bird Chakora [சகோர பட்சி] is said to live by drinking the Moon rays! Moon has limitations; but the Lord has nil. He was attractive even to sages, who had renounced all desires!
