SVS 317 [Kantha: - 297] (32.7)

297. OM KANTHAYA NAMA: कान्ताय नम:
With Divine form and others, desired by all.

Kantha means Husband or Darling. The Lord was so beautiful that He was attracted by even enemies like Surpanaka and Ravana. If we commit sins, we can wash them in sacred places; sins committed in sacred places could be washed in Kasi. What about sins committed in Kasi? They could be nullified only in Kumbakonam! Mahamaha popularly known as Mamanga [மாமாங்கம்] pond is very famous. The Lord Sri Aravamuda was responsible for Nalayira Divya Prabhandam now available to us. Listening to the Ten pasurams on Sri Aravamuda, Swami Nathamuni, was desirous to know all pasurams, started his search and after herculean efforts obtained all the pasurams of Nalayira Divya Prabhandam, from Nammalwar directly. He then preached to his disciples, who sang them in proper metre and in melodious tunes!
