Thiruvaaimozhi 4.9- What if I gets contaminated here? Please save me Lord!

[Guest guest]

SRI:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

AzhwAr tried all sorts of attempts to see Emperumaan physically in vain.

At least he was looking for a company on this globe suffering like him

for Emperumaan. He found no one. He sees them (means us!) fully immersed

in samsaaric ills and trapped in those sorrows and do not even know that

they are in such troubles. He appeals to them and explains the

trivialities of life, while simultaneously calling the Lord to quickly

take the AzhwAr back before he gets contaminated.

 

1. Enemies happily relishing on one hand, while the relations and

friends suffering on the mishaps and downfall of the people- what a

pitiable life! Oh Merciful Lord! EmperumaanE!, The One who churned the

Milk Ocean! Please do not post pone any more; come to me and save me

faster and let my jIvan get out of this physical body immediately.

 

2. What wonders happen in Life! The way the death strikes and occurs-

the relations, near and dear ones fall on the dead body and cry so

heavily. What a life! I do not know how they are going to get salvation.

Oh EmmanE! The One who lies down on AdhisEshA! Please have mercy on me

and call me soonest. What If I also become like these people? Please

take me fast to Your Lotus Feet;

 

3. This life on earth is terribly transitory and non-permanent. On one

side, the fame, popularity, the name one earned is there; on the other

side, one's great kulam, the dearest spouse always so close to them and

be with them; the enormous wealth that one earns is also with them at

their disposal - Leaving all of them, within a fraction of a second, one

dies; Does the spouse, who is so close, also die? With the long hair

with fragrant flowers, she still lives and the dearest husband has left

already; I can not tolerate to see such incidents. Hence, Oh Blue hued

Lord! Please do not ignore me as You had done earlier; please take me to

Your Lotus Feet for my eternal kaimkaryam at Your Lotus Feet.

 

4. Even if one does not want, the wealth comes to him and says, "take

me"; slowly it expands like afire engulfing the man, it engulfs and

destroys the person. Even after knowing that such destruction are caused

by wealth, still, out of greediness, people run amuck after wealth! What

a wonder! Oh Lord! Please show mercy on me, save me and take me to Your

Lotus Feet.

 

5. The oceans surround this world. In this world, there are so many

births, deaths, diseases, and old age that hamper the life style.

Further to this, there is even a more terrible hell. What a nature!

MaNivaNNA! You should take me NOW. Do not refuse any more, Lord.

 

6. There are people who go on wrong and adharmic ways and earn wealth

only by means of torturing others. They terrify others with lots of

fears and trap them in their nets. They capitalize on that and cheat

others. (How AzhwAr knows precisely what happens today? - Terrific!)

They enjoy such ill-acquired wealth. What a horrible, useless life! Oh

PerumaanE! The One who has the most fragrant ThuLasi maalai on His head!

Oh AruLaaLA! My sweet nectar! After I have become Your slave, should You

still wait for something? Please show mercy on me, Lord.

 

7. You are there in all that stands and all that moves, EmperumaanE!

There is nothing in which You are NOT there and You are the Chief of

everything. Hence, please enable me to get rid of diseases, old age,

deaths and births, and call me and take me immediately. Please do not

show me this cruel world.

 

8. This worldly life is like living inside the fort. EmperumaanE! You

created the world and prtected by eating and retaining it in Your

stomach. Then after the cosmic cycle (PraLayam), You have brought it out

and using the Pancha bhUthAs sustained the world and beings yet again.

In this fort, even BrahmA and dEvAs are there. Please take me out of

this fort, and send me to join Your jyOthis swarUpam in Parama Padham.

With Your mercy, when will You call me and enable me join Your Lotus

Feet?

 

9. EmperumaanE! If You please, even if one is an anjnAni (without

knowledge), still, You call them to Your Lotus Feet. If there is some

one with whom You are not so pleased, You make them undergo in all sorts

of desires and aasA paasangaL and make them always forget Your Feet. I

know that also. BhagawaanE! The One who has His Yoga NithrA on

AdhisEshA! You have considered me as a pitiable object and enabled me

get rid of the worldly attachments and run after Your Lotus Feet. NO ONE

CAN APPROACH YOUR LOTUS FEET AND ATTAIN WITH THEIR EFFORTS. Only YOUR

MERCY AND DAYA CAN ENABLE US ATTAIN THAT. I have learnt that with my own

experience. (Very true! Absolutely true!)

 

10. BhagawaanE! Due to Your mercy and grace on me, I have got ridden of

all pleasures of five senses and also the desire for blissful, kaivalya

mOksham. Due to Your krupai, I am able to get over the craving for

gratification of sensual desires. Even the sense organs can not

visualize and understand the AthmAnubhavam. Even that enjoyment of

AthmAnubhavam is against the parama anubhavam of Your Lotus Feet and

hence, I am able to get over that too, with Your mercy. I have realized

Your and Periya Piraati's Grace and mercy on me for enabling me to be an

eternal servant. Hence, I have removed both enjoyments and obtained the

Parama bhagyam of reaching Your Most Beautiful Lotus Feet.

 

11. Sri sadagOpar, born in Thirukkurugoor, has sung 1000 pAsurams in

praise of The Most Beautiful Lotus Feet of Emperumaan Sriman NarayaNan.

These songs are AzhwAr's composition on the Lotus Feet of The Chief of

everyone- Keshavan- Narayanan- Paranjudar. Out of those 1000, the

readers of these ten pAsurams will CERTAINLY TAKE THEM TO THE MOST

BEAUTIFUL LOTUS FEET OF SRIYA: PATHIH: SRIMAN NARAYANAN. Hence, you all

also try to reach His Lotus Feet and become His eternal servants.
