Thiruvaaimozhi 3.8- KaNNA! HOW LONG SHOULD I BE YELLING LIKE THIS?

[Guest guest]

SRI:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

In this yet another excellent decad of Thiruvaaimozhi, AzhwAr narrates

how each of his indriyAs (sense organs) involves itself, longs and

desires to enjoy the Lord!

 

1. Oh EmperumaanE! The One who is the Chief of His NityavibhUti and

LeelA vibhUti and the One who wears the unmatched Most Beautiful Crown

on His head! The One who has the Loveliest Lotus Feet that are

worshipped by all three worlds! The Most Merciful One who underwent

tremendous pains on His Divine ThirumEni (Body) while churning out The

Milky Ocean for getting Amirtham! The One who has the Periya Thiruvadi

(GarudAzhwAn) as His Vaahanam and the flag as well! Whe He rides on

GarudA it looks extremely BEAUTIFUL like the Blue Sky/clouds crawling

over the Massive Meru Mountain. ThrumaalE! The One who shows Himself to

dEvAs! Thinking of You alone, My MIND has been longing for You. Should

You not come to protect that? (Yes. You should)

 

2. Oh My Dearest Master, the One who has my mind as the City which You

dwell and removes the obstacles there! The One who became the poison for

rAvaNA, the king of lankA! The One who showed the small lovely feet to

mahAbhali and cheated him by measuring the entire world with one foot of

Your Big foot! My TONGUE has been yearning to praise Your such excellent

Glorious attributes of Yours and pray. What else is there for the tongue

to do but to praise You (for having been blessed with an ability to

speak)! The TONGUE- Should IT NOT GET WHAT THE MING WAS BLESSED WITH!

(from the First pAsuram, we can see that AzhwAr wished the mind be

blessed with Sriman Narayanan’s Grace- It appears AzhwAr’s mind has been

blessed ALREADY before he sang the second pAsuram!- Who says Sriman

Narayanan is Slow! He jumped within a fraction of a second for GajEndrA

and saved! He appeared within a wink of an eye inside the pillar when it

was hit by hiraNya kasipu- " evanAvadhu sollungha Sriman Narayanan is

slow in action" nu- He will appear immediately to disprove! Let us all

tell that and get blessed by His presence amongst us IMMEDIATELY And

RIGHT NOW!- )

 

3. You blessed me to praise You with my tongue. You appeared as KaNNan

in the huts of cowherd men and stole butter from them; You ate those

butter so fast (while stealing) that the entire face was smeared with

the white butter and looked so meautiful; More Beautiful also due to the

happiness the Kutti KaNNan got by eating so many hanfuls of VeNNai

(Butter). What a Beautiful scene! Your face shone like the Full Moon

with the Butter on you face smeared all over! You also walked off with a

Mandhahaasam (impish smile) in addition to all the beautiful butter! You

showered mercy on those cowherd people; Such a Merciful sowlabhyan

KannA! My dearest Lord! When will My hands touch and enjoy Your Most

Beautiful ThirumEni; When will my HANDS get the bliss of what My tongue

was blessed with!

 

4. Without any interruption and gap, I would like to keep touching You

with my hands and I would like to REALLY SEE YOU with my physical EYES;

My eyes very much desire and long to see You, ParmenE, the One by whose

touch and lying down enables AdhisEshA spread his heads with pride and

happiness! My EYES, like my hands also wish to enjoy You.

 

5. My ears have been asking "When will we hear His sweet steps while

the eyes enjoy Him! He comes to the bhAgawathAs and enables them to

complete their works/tasks. He, by His nature has got such a guNA to

come to our rescue; He will come and appear on GarudA. My ears LONG TO

HEAR the sounds of GarudAs Big feathers when He comes to me riding on

him. My ears deaire to listen to sound of GarudA’s coming! (One can

really visualise the sound of GarudA’s feathers, when we read Sri Swami

Desikan’s Garuda DhaNdakam- Very Nice! ... Please read and let your ears

also be blessed with what AzhwAr’s ears had enjoyed!)

 

6. EmperumaanE! My ears have been longing to listen to the Most

Excellent poems (kavigaL), (like the Most tastiest fruits) of Your

Glories. My ears would like to soak them fully in the sweet musical

honey and enjoy. The ears woluk like to have such a bliss right here in

this birth (NOW!). You possess the Most Strongest Divine ChakrA. I would

love to listen to Your Most Glorious attributes with my Ears fully. My

jeevan can NOT sustain till Your merciful glance reaches me. Immediately

it desires to enjoy. Please make it, My Lord! (adadAdA! Enna anubhavam

of our Sweet AzhwAr!)

 

7. My JeevanE!, My uyir!, My Sweetest Nectar! (amudhamE!) You have

enslaved me! You have the Most Devoted GarudA as Your Vaahanam

(Vehicle). I have been thinking of You for ages , longing for You and

have been weltering. Oh My Lord! The One who has the Divine ChakrA in

your hand! In spite of my calling You so many times, I have NOT been

enjoying Your Divine Beautiful Form, My Lord! My diseases (of Births and

Deaths) are NOT also cured!

 

8. Oh EmperumaanE!, the Personification of Beauty! Your eyes are like

the Most Beautiful Red Lotus Flowers; You look like The Most Gorgeous

Form of Dark, Blue colour like the kaajal. With Your Most Glorious

kalyANa guNAs, You have been haunting me; Is it not Your command to

create all the three kaalams (past, present and the future); But there

appears to be NO TIME for You to save me! Will it come now? Is that also

NOT Your command/duty? When am I going to enjoy You?

 

9. BhagawaanE! You went to mahAbhali and asked for three measures (with

Your feet) of land and cheated him by taking ViswarUpam and took away

the entire universe with Your two steps; ThirudA! You made kamsan also

get removed beautifully; You plucked the thousand shoulders of pANAsuran

and won over; You are the One capable of riding on Periya Thioruvadi

(GarudA) When am I going to join You, Lord!

 

10. Oh KaNNanE! You went in between the two big Marudha marams (trees)

with the "ural" tied to your waist (by YasOdhA!) (It appears when

NammAzhwAr thought of Emperumaan’s sowlabhyam of being tied with a small

rope by Aayar kula peNN YasOdhA, he fell into a trance and fainted for

six months!- enna aaccharyamaana anubhavam!) I have been really yearning

to see Your Lotus Feet and How many days will I be weeping like this

siging Your Glories with words, words and words?

 

11. About Trivikraman, the One who measured the Entire Universe and who

has the Most Glorious Most Auspicious attributes (kalYANa guNAs),

Kurugoor SadagOpan has praised in 1000 pAsurams. Out of those 1000,

those who read these ten (or its meanings), WILL DEFINITELY REACH PARAMA

PADHAM. NOT TO WORRY!
