Shloka 24

Dayaa Devi redirects Lords Anger towards enemies of His devotees

Swami Desikan describes here a different role of Dayaa Devi. While
Dayaa Devi redirects Lord’s Anger during PralLayam, she does not
want it go waste and hence she redirects towards those who harm
His devotees like how weeds are removed which harms the crops.
Here Swami Desikan conveys the message that Lord’s anger
becomes subservient to Dayaa Devi. Lord himself does not have
enemies but he considers those who are enemies to His devotees as
His own enemies and hence the Dayaa of Srinivasa PerumAL.
