The many dances of SrI ranganAthar — namperumAL on konal vaiyALi 

(Thanks: SrI Shreekrishna Akilesh) 

Comments:  

During Your KrshNAvatAram, You danced very many beautiful dances and entertained the 

GopAs and Gopis. We were not with You in those times to see Your many divine dances. To 

remove our sorrow that we were not blessed to see those dances, please bless us to see now at 

SrIrangam Your Unjal utsavam.

Comments:  

BhagavAn is 

jagat kAraNan

. He is the First kAraNam, nimitta kAraNam and sahakAri 

kAraNam, all in One. For the creation of the universe constituted by the sentient (cit) and 

insentient (acit), SrI RanganAthan, the para Brahmam shines as the three kAraNams. The 

Brahmam with cit and acit is the prathama (upAdAna) kAraNam. The Brahmam with the 

guNams of j~nAnam, Sakti et al is the sahakAri kAraNam. The Lord’s sankalpam (May I become 

many/

bahuSyAm

) becomes the nimitta kAraNam for jagat vyApAram.
