Mepathur Did not prefer to call him “Ende Guruvayurappa”
Compiled by
P.R.ramachander
We expect the
devotion drenched master piece of “Mepathu Narayana Bhattathiri (1559-1632) to
call the lord of Guruvayur as “guruvayurappan or lord of Guru pavana Pura”. But
he did not prefer it.
Narayaneeyam,
the great book written by Meppathur has 100 dasakams ( ten verse chapters, some
times around 12).In most of these Chapters Mepathur addresses his Guruvayurappa
once in his last stanza . I found that out of the 100 dasakams, he has referred
to Lord of Guruvayur in 80 dasakams.
Unlike our
expectation he addressed him as “Lord of Guruvayur(Guru geha pura nadha)” only
4 times out of the 80
He addressed him
as “Lord of city of Guru (guru pura nadha) six times out of 80
He addressed
himas “Lord of city of wind(Pavana puresa , Vathaleyesa, maruth puradheesa ,
Vayu mandhiresa etc)” seventy times of the eighty
So it is clear
he preferred to call him “God of Vayu pura” rather than Guruvayurappa
