Thiruvaaimozhi 3.4- No words to describe HIM!

[Guest guest]

SRI:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

This decad 3.4, is simply Excellence - the embodiment of Total

Excellence- in terms of AzhwAr's exquisite anubhavam of the Lord-

AzhwAr's totally flabbergasted by Sriman NarAyaNan's kalyANa guNAs; He

has NO WORDS to narrate His Most Auspicious attributes; Those who know

tamil, please read the transliteration ALSO for its sweet rhyming Most

Beautiful SENTHAMIZH. Excellent thamizh- "InbhatthEn vandhu paayudhu

kaadhinilE!" AzwAr stupefies us with His rich Tamil. Enjoy reading it!

"Emperumaan- KaNNan- How will I describe Him?- as the One who is

unparalleled and praised Gloriously by sruthis and smrthis; OR as the

One who is like the Mother Earth in its unmatched Patience; OR as the

Big Ocean which is full of cool and bright water; OR as the Fire; OR as

the Air; OR as the Sky? OR as the Bright, Shining Sun & Moon? OR as the

Entirety of all Objects? _ How will I address Him? OR Should I say all

these ones?"

"I am totally speechless and at a loss of words to sing pAsuram (about

Him) due to the ecstasy of my bhakti; Is He all the Mountains? Is He the

Great Rains? (Californians would have seen Him in torrential rains of

these days- "aazhi pOl minni valampuripOl ninRadhirndhu thaazhaadhE

saarnghamudhaittha saramazhaipOl") Is He those Bright, Shining String of

stars? Is He those arts? Is He the embodiment of jnAnA? The Red Lotus

eyed Lord of mine- How will I address His Auspicious attributes?"

 

3. pangaiyak kaNNan en_gO! pavaLassev vaayan en_gO,

(What a tamizh!) He is of the Most Grandest form of Black MANIckkam

(Emerald)- Should I call My Lord, The Supreme? As The Red Lotus Eyed

Lord (SenthaamaraikkaNNan); OR as the Red Coral lipped Lord

(pavaLacchevvayan); OR as the One who has the Bright Shining Most

Beautiful Lotus Feet; OR as the One who is of Most Darkest Colour like

the "mai"(anjanam)- (kaajal in Hindi); OR as the One who has the Shining

Crown? OR as the One who has the Goddess MahAlakshmi in His chest; OR as

the One who has the sanghu (Divine Conch) and chakrA (Divine Discuss);"

 

4. saathimaa Nikkam en_gO! savikOLpon muttham en_gO,

"Should I call Him as the MaNickkam of the Highest Quality? As The

Brightest Shining Gold? As The illustrious Pearl? As The invaluable

Diamond? As the ceaseless Light? OR as the Paramapadham? OR as the

Chief of Parama padham? (AdhiyanjOthi- His divine Body in Paramapadham;

Aadhiyam purudan- DivyAthma swarUpam); Is HE NOT the Faultless One, who

has granted me the knowledge to know my connection with Him and the my

support after I become supportless in this worldly life? He is My

Acuthan, who NEVER LEAVES me.

 

5. acchuthan amalan en_gO, adiyavar vinaikedukkum,

acchuvaik katti en_gO! aRusuvai adisil en_gO,

neyccuvaith thERal en_gO! kaniyen_gO! paalen gEnO!

 

"Should I call Him as the One who DOES NOT HAVE any blemish/fault

whatsoever and is always united with endless, Ceaseless Paramapadham? OR

as the One who is the Best, Most Desirable Medicine for removal of

karmAs/sins of His Devotees and protecting them? OR as the One who is

like the amirtham (nectar) churned out in pARkadal? OR as the Sugarcane

like the nectar? OR SHOULD I CALL HIM as the "akkAra adisil" (Sweet

Food)? Or the Most tastiest Ghee? OR the Sweetest Madhu? OR the Best

Fruit? OR the Milk? OR WHAT? - How shall I describe Him? (AzhwAr has

tasted Him and He is trying his level best to put in words for all of us

to comprehend; BUT, alas! He is indescribable!)

 

6. paalen_gO! naan_gu vEdhap payanen_gO, samaya neethi

"Should I call my Emperumaan as The Milk? OR as the Fruit of VedAs? Or

as the Epics? Or as the Divine Music that pulls us automatically (the

moment we start listening to it)? OR Much Higher than all of these

things? OR AS THE ONE THAT CAN GRANT THE MOST MAXIMUM BENEFITS TO US

with extremely little effort of ours? (Sisters and Brothers, What a

Beautiful narration, What an anubhavam of AzhwAr!) Should I call Him

"kaNNa!"? OR as the "Thirumaal"? OR as the "Maayan"? He is The One who

is the Cause for dEvAs lives."

 

7. vaanavar aathi en_gO! vaanavar theyvam en_gO,

"Should I call Him as the Cause for NityasUris ? He is the Most

Brightest MaNickkam; Should I address His as the Lord of NityasUris? OR

as the Grandest bhOgam of NityasUris' anubhavams (enjoyments)? OR ALL

OTHER THINGS? OR as the Endless, Ceaseless WEALTH? OR as the Endless

Swargam (heaven)? OR the mOkshArtham? - HOW WILL I ADDRESS HIM?."

"Should I narrate Him as the Most Brightest, Shining colour of

MANickkam? OR as the One who addresses You as the "Unmatched!" and the

one who has the moon in his head- sivan? OR the Four Headed BrahmA? What

shall I tell? Oh My Lord, The One who created the Worlds and protected

them! KaNNA! Oh Lord, The One who has the Most Fragrant ThuLasi Garlands

in His head! How should I call You? "

naNNi_nan kuRaikin Raanai NYaalamuN dumizntha maalai,

eNNumaa RaRiya maattEn, yaavaiyum yavarum thaanE.

 

" I DO NOT KNOW Him fully and also the way to narrate Him and call Him;

He churned the Ocean and offered the Nectar (amirtham); The Lord is He,

who is lting down on the AdhisEshan; He retained all the worlds in His

stomach and spat them after the Cosmic Cycle end and protected them-

Such a great Lord is He- and I do not know at all the way to praise His

glories; He is The One who stays in everything and has Everything in Him

and directs evrything"

 

10. yaavaiyum evarum thaanaay avaravar samayanN thORum,

thOyvilan pulanainN thukkum solappadaan uNarvin moortthi,

aavisEr uyirin uLLaal athumOr paRRi laatha,

paavanai athanaik koodil avanaiyum kooda laamE.

 

"He is the quintessence of all; He is the antharyaami in the

Non-sentient (achit) and in the Sentient (Chit); Such a Lord is He and

He stays in them while He remains unaffected by them simultaneously; He

is the Embodiment of knowledge (jnAnam) and is totally INCOMPREHENSIBLE

by the capacity of Five sense organs; (For the Athman, there is no

Growth or decaying even though Athman stays in the body; Similarly

Emperumaan IS NOT AFFECTED by the karmAs even if He is an antharyaami;"

 

11.koodivaN daRaiyum thaN_dhaarkkoNdalpOl vaNNan dhannai

maadalar pozilku rukoor vaNsada gOpan sonna,

paadalOr aayi ratthuL ivaiyumOr patthum vallaar,

veedila bOga meythi virumbuvar amarar moytthE

 

"The Lord is of Blue Hued Colour of the Dark Clouds; He wears the Most

Fragrant Garland flowers surrounded by the humming bees; About Him,

Thirukkurugoor SadagOpan has sung 1000 pAsurams; Out of those 1000,

those who tead these TEN pAsurams (or their meanings) ARE DEFINITE to

obtain The Endless, Ceaseless Divine Spiritual Life and will BE GREATLY

APPRECIATED BY NITYASURIS. (That is Great! But why? Aren't they Greater

than mukthALs? They are! But the NityasUris love to be in this Earth

BECAUSE the Lord desires to stay right here to bless us! And those who

get closer to Him by becoming His ardent devotees, are naturally His

favorites and also NityasUris'. In fact, NitysUris love the bhAgawathAls

more than the Lord.")
