Slokam 9
The slokam describes the intervention of the Paramathma to physically disengage Gajendra from the Crocodile. The Paramathma uses His hands to free Gajendra from the grapple hold of the crocodile and uses His discus, Sudharshana to destroy the crocodile.
Being released from bondage of physical forms directly by the Paramathma is a great blessing for the recipient, since the attention and touch of the Paramathma restores one to a higher state of existence. The Crocodile is restored to the Gandharva state, and Gajendra attains moksham by merger with the Paramathma.
If we are in difficulty, let us remember that it is a blessing from the Paramathma to make us realize that worldly attachments are counterproductive to the attainment of moksham.
