Who is Vigna-rAjA..? How does he help overcome vigna..?
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong is murphy's law. That's Vigna, the disturbance in every work we do. How do we fail murphy's law, overcome Vigna that makes work go wrong..?
Oothukadu Venkata Kavi says all kinds of vigna (disturbances) submit to Vigna-rAjA, the elephant faced, who always manifests in our 'self', to overcome vigna, when invoked by us. Since he manifests, he is said to be the son of Shiva, the unmanifest witness.
Even Indra and devas invoke this vigna-rAjA. He is the leader of the herd to the devoted, enemy to the 'terrible' who roam randomly at will (matanga). He destroys wandering, gives focus and peace to 'self', thereby helping to overcome vigna, the disturbances in our work.
Tat tvam asi points to the unmanifest witness (Shiva, Atman) in us. Vigna-rAja is the manifest form of Shiva, in our 'self', who destroys terrible wandering, gives focus, peace to handle all the vigna (disturbances), caused by jealousy, fear, foolishness and intoxicating thoughts due to kali.
Submit to that white elephantine mountain decorated with golden ornaments, whose lotus eyes enamors, leads us to nectar of devotion, gives us focus, peace to overcome all the vigna. This is the crux of words of great rishis like Sanaka, Suka, Narada, Patanjali, Parasara and Matanga.
