The swan (贬补峁僺补).

General.

A bird (贬补峁僺补) in Devaloka. The prefix 'ara' denotes royalty, sublimity, greatness etc. Many 辫耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 describe Arayannam as a bird of the Devas. M膩nasasaras at the heights of the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 is the permanent abode of these divine birds. They do not like the rainy season. So they come down to the earth when rain begins at the M膩nasasaras, and go back to the Saras, when rain begins on the earth. This phenomenon explains Ceru艣艣eri鈥檚 (Malayalam poet) statement in his K峁涐梗峁嘺g膩th膩 that 'when rain set in 丑补峁僺补蝉 -Arayannams鈥攂egan flying away'.

Origin.

碍补艣测补辫补, the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻, married the eight daughters of 顿补办峁�a, 罢腻尘谤腻 being one of them. 罢腻尘谤腻 bore five daughters 碍谤补耻帽肠墨, 叠丑腻蝉墨, 艢测别苍墨, 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤墨 and 艢耻办墨. 艢测别苍墨 gave birth to the kite, 顿丑峁泃补谤腻峁ａ弓谤墨, the 贬补峁僺补 and the 碍辞办腻 and 艢耻办墨 the 艢耻办补蝉 (doves). 碍辞办腻 or the 颁补办谤补惫腻办墨 bird is the sister of 贬补峁僺补. This is how the Arayanna and the 颁补办谤补惫腻办补 got Devatva (divinity). (痴腻濒尘墨办颈 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺, Ara峁噛ak膩峁囜笉a, Canto 14).

叠丑墨峁�m补 and the Arayanna.

艢颈艣耻辫腻濒补, before his death, blabbered a lot of unbecoming things about 叠丑墨峁�m补, who was partial to his (艢颈艣耻辫腻濒补's) enemies. And, he related the story of an Arayanna to elaborate the stand taken by the aged 叠丑墨峁�m补. An aged 贬补峁僺补 (Arayanna) which once dwelt on the sea-coast preached to all the other birds much about ethical actions. The birds felt great respeet for the Arayanna. They flew across the sea in search of prey after entrusting their eggs to the Arayanna. The old Arayanna grew fat on those eggs. There was one intelligent bird among the lot, and when it looked for the eggs they were not to be found. That bird informed its colleagues about the treacherous conduct of the Arayanna. The birds organised themselves and attacked the Arayanna to death. Oh! 叠丑墨峁�m补, the same will be your end also. (惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补, 厂补产丑腻 Parva, Chapter 41, Verses 30-41).

Nala and Arayanna.

While Nala, the prince of the 狈颈峁�a诲丑补 kingdom was resting in a garden he saw an Arayanna in a tank there. Out of curious pleasure Nala caught it, but seeing its mental tremor he let it free. Out of gratitude for this generous act, the Arayanna played the role of the messenger for Nala to get as his wife 顿补尘补测补苍迟墨, the very beautiful daughter of the King of Vidarbha.

How the Arayanna (贬补峁僺补) got the white colour.

Once king Marutta was conducting the 惭腻丑别艣惫补谤补 Satra (a y膩ga) and Devas like Indra came down to receive their share of the Havis (oblations in the sacrificial fire). And, this was the time when 搁腻惫补峁嘺 with his attendants was on his triumphal tour. Hearing that the Devas were at the 膧艣谤补尘补 of Marutta, 搁腻惫补峁嘺 also went there, and Indra and the other Devas, trembling with fear, assumed different disguises and hid themselves away. Indra assumed the guise of the peacock, Yama of the crow, Kubera of the chameleon and 痴补谤耻峁嘺 of the Arayanna. Thus beguiled 搁腻惫补峁嘺 went his own way. The Devas, who thus escaped blessed the family of those birds whose forms they assumed. Indra shaped the blue feathers of the peacock with mixed colours and eyes like his own. Moreover, he blessed them that they would never be affected with any disease, and that they would dance with their feathers spread when rain set in. Yamadharma blessed the crows that they would get the offerings made on earth by men to their departed ancestors. And 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 痴补谤耻峁嘺 told the R膩ja-贬补峁僺补s: "I escaped the clutches of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 by assuming your shape and form. Therefore, be thee, who are now black and white, in future as purely white as milk". Kubera blessed the Chameleon with capacity to change colour as and how it pleased, and also for its cheeks to appear golden in colour to the onlookers. After thus blessing the birds the Devas disappeared. (Uttara 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).
