Thiruvaaimozhi 3.1- GET RID OF SAMSAARA SAAGARAM

[Guest guest]

SRI:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

In this decad of Thiruvaaimozhi 3.2, Azhwar is granted a complete

anubhavam after his lamenting heavily on his disability to see and have

the Emperumaan’s darshan. Azhagar offers to show Himself and bless the

AzhwAr and satifies the AzhwAr by telling him "I will stand at Tirumalai

to cater to all your yearnings /enjoyment to the fullest extent; What

you could not achieve at South Tirumalai (TirumaalirunjOlai), have them

here!" and here we go at AzhwAr’s moving YET another decad of excellent

pAsurams.

 

1. Oh EmperumaanE!, The One who created the earth, surrounded by the

Oceans (with three waters - munneer- River, Fountain, rain); You gave me

the sareeram of mine (this body) with which I have accrued puNyam and

paapam and have been loitering in these births; To get rid of these two

and the karmAs, and to remove all the miseries of Births, when will I

join You, My Lord!

 

2. Oh VaamanA!, the One who measured the Big world with Your feet! Due

to Your mAyA, I have been trapped in these viscious cycles of variuos

births and been suffering; From time immemorial, these births have been

happening and so are various karmAs of mine; When will You cut asunder

all these from its roots and make me join You Divine Feet, My Lord?

 

3. Oh EmperumaanE! You came as a Saarathi for the chariot and still

could destroy the entire GauravA army in the BhAratha battle field; Such

is Your greatness; (means without lifting a weapon (as promised to

DuryOdhan), You could win still-); Why do You Not destroy my sareera

sambhandham (the connection with these bodies- means karmAs) and show me

a way to reach Your Feet, My Lord?

 

4. EmperumaanE! You are full of jnAnam (knowledge) which is so lustrous

and shining; You have spanned everywhere with no blemishes to capture me

for the eternal servitude; My Dearest father! You should come to bless

me and grant me to leave and forget all earthly desires and to make me

perform eternal kaimkaryam holding Your Lotus Feet always, My Lord!

Please show mercy on me;

 

5. Emperumaane! You need not have to come like Raama and KrishNa and

stay long with me for many years; At least can You not come for a moment

as You did for GajEndrA and prahalAdA? Please make my mind stable so

that it does not get distracted and diluted; Oh My dearest Father, the

One who has got the most beautiful colour of "kaayaampoo"! If NOT having

mercy on me is Your nature How can I approach You, Lord?

 

6. When You asked me to do good deeds and gain puNyam in the past

(previous births), I DID NOT do them; When You asked not to commit any

paapam (sins), I did not abstain from doing such sins; I left You and

went behind the poor, lowly materialistic pursuits and sensual

pleasures; (Sisters and Brothers, NammAzhwAr is ENTIRELY SPEAKNING ON

OUR BEHALF); Oh ParmanE!, the One who craeted all beings! When will I

reach Your illustrious Divine Lotus Feet?

 

7. Oh Mind!, since we did not have a correct proper jnAnam (knowledge)

we have been trapped in these births and we are caught in samsaaric

ills; Do You think we will be able to reach the KaNNapiraan’s Feet (The

One who is the embodiment if Knowledge) and stay there for ever?

 

8. Oh KaNNapiraanE! The One who is the Most Glorious of all! My

ParanchudarE! I could not put aside the sins which I have been

committing over the ages that give me tremendous sorrows; I did not even

pay obeisance to Your Lotus Feet continuously; How CAN I ever Reach You

hereafter? It is JUST IMPOSSIBLE with the quantum of sins committed by

me; Such a lowly self like me- If I call You, How will it reach You and

be fruitful?

 

9. For the ages, I have been suffering in samsaaram and caught and

bewildered in that terrible bush,- suffering greatly from the most cruel

/ horrible diseases of various Births; - Now I do NOT know how to get

out of this and I have lost the way; I have been yelling asking You for

help, Oh my Lord! Such a paavi- a great sinner, How can I reach

Emperumaan? I was not born in that age when Sri KrishNA was born; (It

seems, NammAzhwAr apperared on the fith day of kaliyugam (5 days after

Dwapara yugam- KrishNA’a period)); I missed His stupendous feat of

measuring the Entire Universe with His Feet and capturing the

BhagavathALs for eternal servitude; IS THERE ANY WAY OF REDEMTION FOR

ME, OH LORD?

 

NOW, The Lodr has shown Himself at Tirumali and the AzhwAr gets GREATLY

EXCITED;

 

10. I have seen the KaNNapiraan, who can only be seen otherwise by

various sAstrAs and jnAnam; When the life goes away, the yamA’s men

throw the rope (pAsakkayiRu); While doing so the trouble and the

sufferings one suffers from, is all REMOVED by My Emperumaan; With His

Grace, my mind is stabilised; my life has become permanent; Athman has

become Nityam;

 

11. The Emperumaan has all Worlds and all beings in Him; About Him, the

AzhwAr, SadagOpan, one who belongs to kurugoor, has sung 1000 verses

(pAsurams) which are full of truth and of no faults/blemishes; Out of

those 1000, these ten pasuams can REMOVE the karmAs for getting

ourselves trapped in samsaara bhandham and the sareera sambhandham; (If

you have read them, BE REST ASSURED THAT YOU ARE NOT TO BE BORN AGAIN!)
