Meaning:

RamE! You incarnated as a baby in the yAga sAlai of King Janaka to save the people from the evil deeds of rAvaNa and his demons. You underwent many hardships such as staying in the forest and residing in the midst of the demons of LankA to rescue us from our troubles. It is due to Your immense mercy that you incarnated as the daughter of BhUmidevi. She is mercy incarnate (kshamA) Herself.

Slokam 3

akaruNA karuNA dhruvam amba te
kshititale bhavatIm avatArya yA |
ahaha yAtupurasthiti vedanAm
agamayat jagadArti nivrttaye ||

Meaning:

Amba! Compassion is a quality that makes one pity the sufferer and helps him out of his misery. However, Your compassion is actually not so. Instead of relieving You from hardships it made You more miserable. I wonder if that quality can be really called compassion!

Comments:

In this slokam, the poet is giving a new twist to PirAtti’s compassion. It is Her compassion that made Her leave Sri VaikuNTham and be born in this world and undergo countless miseries in LankA. Though Her compassion is good for the world it was not so for Her. The poet jokingly wonders if Her compassion was really compassionate towards Her.

Slokam 4

avirata vividha aparAdhakAriNi
api mayi devi dayAm karishyasIti |
janani mama bhayAturasya dhairyam
janayati vAyasadAnava apadAnam ||

Meaning:

Devi Janani! I was very worried as I had done many evil deeds. However, when I think of the kAkAsura episode, I find immense relief that You will show me compassion too.

Comments:

KaakAsura or Jayanta was the son of Indra. He became jealous of Sri Rama. One day when Rama was relaxing on Sita PirAtti’s lap, he took the form of a crow and plucked at Her breast. Droplets of blood emerged from Sita’s chest and She had to stir so that they will not fall on Sri Rama. When Rama realized what happened He bid a blade of grass to kill kAkAsura. KAkAsura flew all over the three worlds looking for a shelter but no one would offer it to him as they feared Sri Rama’s wrath. After flying for a long time and getting exhausted in the effort, kAkAsura fell at Rama’s feet. Though his fall was not an act of surrender, PirAtti turned his head in such as way that it would touch the feet of Rama as if he is seeking Rama’s mercy. This won him pardon from Rama. Even though kAkAsura hurt Her, PirAtti showed great compassion towards him and avoided Rama punishing him. The PramANam is “vadhArhamapi kAkutstha: krpayA paryapAlayat”. Since Periya PirAtti, the embodiment of Bhagavat KrpA was nearby, KaakAsuran was saved from definite destruction.

The poet feels that though he had done countless evil deeds, PirAtti will excuse him and mediate on his behalf and avoid EmperumAn punishing him too.
