There was one occasion when the wife of a SriVaishnava disciple, suffered from ?obstructed labour. When the SwamigaL was informed of this, he sang on his own -
thanajayan iradham Ottum saaradhi thanai thyaanikkath
thanancayap perumaaL kaakkum thaiyalmEl karuNai seydhu
thanancayan ennum baalan tharaNiyil piRakkaveNNIth
thanacayan uthaikkap piLLai salaththudan piRandhaananRE!
¾ÉïºÂý þþõ µðÎõ º¡Ã¾¢¾¨É ò¡ɢì¸ò
¾ÉïºÂô ¦ÀÕÁ¡û ¸¡ìÌõ ¨¾Âø§Áø ¸Õ¨½ ¦ºöÐ
¾ÉïºÂý ±ýÛõ À¡Äý ¾Ã½¢Â¢ø À¢È츦Åñ½¢ò
¾ÉïºÂý ¯¨¾ì¸ô À¢û¨Ç ºÄòмý À¢Èó¾¡Éý§È!
Usually the SwamigaL would sing particular Thiruppugalz hymns to suit the circumstances. But this is one of the rare occassions wherein he sang an aasukavi a poem that is composed spontaneously without thinking or hesitation..
The above type of kavi is known as madakku. The word 'thanancayan gets repeated four times.
In this he prays to Lord Krishna/Vishnu to bless so that the vaayu Thanancayan would kick the baby called Thanacayan, out with the amniotic fluid, out to be born into the world.
In Ayurveda system, it is said that there 10 types of 'vaayu's called 'Dasa Maha Vaayu's. They are supposed to be the activating forces of systems like the sympathetic, parasympathetic, respiration, metabolism, peristalsis, labour, etc. Of these 'Dasa Maha Vaayu's, the vaayu 'Dhanajaya' is responsible for labour and child birth.
Thats why the SwamigaL invoked Krihsna, the chariot driver of Dananjaya - Arjuna to activate the 'Dananjaya' vaayu to dispel the baby out which was going to be called Thanancayan.
The birth took place without any difficulty.
And the grateful father named the baby - 'Thanancayan'.
He sang it in the past tense. He was sure that it was going to effectively happen.
Such was his faith, confidence and power.
