NammazhwAr pAsuram

[Guest guest]

Dearest srivaishNavALs,

Last night, I was reading nammazhwAr pAsurams and liked some pAsurams for

its applicability on us directly - as if AzhwAr has sung on our behalf.

Would like to share with you an excellent two of them now.

 

1.kaiAr chakkarathu en karumaNikkamE enRenRu

poyyE kaimai chollip puRamE puRamE Adi

meYYE peRRozhindEn vidhi vAikkinRu kAppAr Ar

AiyO! kaNNapirAn aRaiyO inip pOnAlE. (5.1.1)

 

meaning: Oh my dearest black emerald(karumANickamE!) the one, who has the

powerful ChakrAyudhA in His hand(thirukkai)!- Like this, I uttered some

words, with no sincerity and devotion or truthfulness (to meet what I

utter) and cheated you; Nor did I try to follow or make an attempt to go

anywhere towards being sincere; On the contrary, I behaved only in the

opposite way.

But, alas! in spite of this, I have been blessed (with just a sugar coated

talking alone by praising your attributes) really to have you as my

property. Now, if it is time to get blessed to obtain your mercy and dayA,

who can stop that? NONE. Hence, kaNNA, aiYO! Is it not a deceipt (or

Cheating) for you to leave me after coming into me once? (Yes, IT IS.)

( - How true and how aptly it matches with what we do!)

 

2.pOnAi mAmrudhin naduvE en pollA mANickamE

thEnE innamudhE enRenRE sila koothu cholla

thAnEl emperumAn avan ennAgi ozhindhAn

vAnE mAnilamE maRRum muRRum en uLLanavE (5.1.2)

 

meaning:oh my dearest mischievous pearl(pollA maNiyE!), the one, who went

in between two big marudha trees!, Honey!(thEnE!), Sweetest nectar!

(innamudhE!), - Like this, I lied to you and acted as if I am speaking true

to my heart. I have uttered these words and acted as if it is a sincere

addressing the BhagawAn

Even then, that emperumAn has believed me and my acting and has merged

fully with me. Hence, the sky, the universe, and other chEtana achEtanas

are all in me.

 

Marvellous. Aren't they?
