Guest guest Posted June 5, 1998 Report Share Posted June 5, 1998 SrI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, ParangusanAyaki sent the birds and bees as messengers to the Lord but all in vain. He has not appeared. Now, AzhwAr herself (or himself) attempts to call Him in this ten. 1. BhagawaanE! You ARE the One who is in the form of Pancha bhUthAs., namely., water, Earth, Fire, Air and the vast space. You are the One who is the Brightest Sun and the Coolest Moon. Is that alone? You are the One who has become Siva and BrahmA. Such Greatest Lord of mine, for ONE DAY AT LEAST, for me, You should show Your unbounded, wonderful, "asaadhaaraNa" Divine Body and shower mercy on me. You show this cruel sinner, Your Divya MangaLa thirumEni with the Most Beautiful ChakrA and Sanghu in Your Hands. You should show me Your Most Beautiful Lotus Feet. Even if it is NOT for me, You should at least show Yourself to the ultimate absolute enjoyment of the Earthly people and DevAs and prove the eternal existence of Your Nitya VibhUti. 2. BhagawaanE! You are the Wonderful Lord, who appeared as Vaamanan and showed Your Greatness to the Earth and DevAs, by measuring the entire Universe in two steps. I want to dance with You and stay besides You. For that, You should only come to me. (I don't see You). I, (the One who considers only seeing You as the ultimate purpose of my life), should enjoy Your walking in front of me. (You can walk in front of that asuran MahAbhali, not in front of me, who wants only that. Am I worse than mahAbhali, KaNNA!) 3. EmperumaanE! For yugas, ages, time immemorial, You have been protecting us and saving us by Your walking, Standing, Sitting and lying down at various Divya sthalams. AT ALL TIMES, You are always with Your Consort Periya Piraatti MahAlakshmi and show Yourself So Gracefully with Her. For such DivyaDampati, I have Not been joining Them, and HAVE WASTED years and years and births and births. Still I am wasting and will I NOT be able to see You and join You now also and will wither away suffering greatly and languishing for You, without seeing You? (nampiLLAi infers that this pAsuram is "akaaram" of Thirumanthram. It talks about Emperumaan's Sarvarakshathvam. Sarvarakshathvam is referred when AzhwAr says He protects everyone and every being. With Periya Piraatti, He shows Himself and hence is Sriya: Pathih is the Only One to be sought after. - akaaram of Thirumanthram.- Also, NampiLLai refers this pAsuram to be an explanation of Artha Panchakam. With Periya Piraatti- MahAlakshmi- Emperumaan- Brahmam is described. adiyEn denotes jIvAthmA. He protects all lives- denotes upaayam. To join You and be with You- Palam. Will I wither away without seeing You at all- denotes VirOdhi swarUpam.- What a great interpretaion by NampiLLai!) 4. BhagawaanE! You appeared as KaNNan, and kicked the sakatAsuran, who came as a wheel, to kill You, and in the process he got himself kicked by Your little foot and killed! You showed Your leg's greatness to the world! Such Greatest Lord of mine- You are worshipped in Group by BrahmA, Sivan, Indran and DevAs. You are Their Chief! You should show Yourself in the sky for me to see You some day at least! 5. Oh EmperumaanE! the One who is at ParamaPadham! You are standing at Tirumala (Tirupati!); You are lying down and having Your YoganithrA on Milk Ocean (ThiruppaaRkadal); You take various avataars and live with us in our midst like ordinary being; But, You also live in all beings as an antharyaami, without being seen; You are beyond comprehension and beyond one's understanding; You stay in the entire vast universe and protect as Sarvarakshakan; You also stay in my hear without any gap, uninterruptedly. In spite of ALL THIS, You ARE HIDING YOURSELF from me without showing Your form! (AzhwAr, Dearest Sisters and Brothers, in this pAsuram describes all Emperumaan's states (Param, VyUham, Vivhavam, Archai and Antharyaami) 6. You are a Great Maayavan and appeared as Trivikraman. In one step, You covered the entire world! In next step, You measured the whole sky, touching the whole universe with Your Foot! I have been LONGINg to see Such Greatest You and have been suffering terribly like a wax kept close to the fire, melting for You. Should I search the WHOLE WORLD looking for You? 7. EmperumaanE! You exist as (karmAs) duties that are performed here in this world and are still unbounded by them; You also exist as those who perform such karmAs, too. You are the same one who is their respective AthmAs also; You are the One who directs even the mukthAs, who are there in all ten directions countlessly (outside this universe). In as much You exist in the objects that can be seen, You also exist in those formless (jIv)AthmAs even, as antharyaami. You are so wonderful and Greatest! You have so much unbounded capacity! When I see my limitless foolishness and stupid jnAnam, that is also huge; Please do not mind that and don't look down at me; Please show mercy on me, this lowly self, too! 8. Oh PerumaanE! The One who is the AthmA for jnAnis! You should show Your mercy on me, who has NO OTHER MEANS FOR ME EXCEPT YOUR GRACE. Oh My Lord! The One who has limitless, unbounded Divine Beauty and has the Most Fragrant Divya MagaLa ThirumEni, NATURALLY! (Even though now, I am NOT able to see You and touch You; You still made me crazee after Your Most Beautiful ThirumEni, by showing that in Your Divya kshEthrams). I DONOT HAVE ANY ONE nor ANY MEANS for my redemption. Please DO NOT PUSH me into other things by Your strategies and mischiefs. Please do not let me go any where away from the path towards reaching You! Don't leave me! 9. EmperumaanE! Please DO NOT PUSH ME AND LET MY MIND GET CONTAMINATED BY THE INFLUENCE OF FIVE SENSE ORGANS AND PUSH ME INTO SENSUAL PLEASURES; I HAVE BEEN BORN TO ENJOY THE GREATEST PLEASURE (of eternal Bliss!) and DO NOT PUSH ME, END ME AND SATISFY ME WITH JUST LITTLE SENSUAL PLEASURES. For those BEAUTIFUL LOTUS FEET, HAS THE TIME NOT YET COME CLOSER TO CALL ME NEAR THEM? "KoovikkoLLum kaalam innum kuRugaadhO?" (When PiLLaan was in his death bed, Namjeear was crying ceaselessly with tears rolling down cheeks; PiLLan said: "KoovikkoLLum kaalam innum kuRugaadhO?NajeeyarE! Why are you feeling sad? I am going to enjoy the Greatest Pleasure and Blissful Happiness at His Lotus Feet; Feel happy!- adadaaa! What an anubhavam! We wish we get that feeling when we are on our death beds!- Let us pray to Him for such bent of minds now it self!) 10. (In this pAsuram, AzhwAr says kaimkaryam is better than even kaivalya inbham and Athmanubhavam.) BhagawaanE! For me, only serving You as Your eternal servant is the Greatest and most sought after; Even the Athmanubhavam, compared to Kaimkaryam is like the sensual pleasure; The One , by nature never gets reduced or exhausted, never get bigger or smaller, has the limitless, anubhavam of the AthmA, by nature- that is kaivlya ainbham- AthmAnubhavam- even that is little pleasure only compared to eternal kaimkaryam at Your Lotus Feet. I do not want that AthmAnubhavam. I pray to You only for being an eternal servant at Your Lotus Feet; Even if it is only for minutest fraction of time, I need that only. That is the Purushaartham for me. Even that minutest Kaimkaryam that You allow me to serve You is much greater compared to the unbounded, limitless, eternal ArthmAnubhavam. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR KAIMKARYAM AT YOUR LOTUS FEET FOR ME. 11. Bhagawaan, Emperumaan can not be comprehended by any one. By knowing Him, by mediating on Him, by thinking of Him, one can NOT understand Him completely. About such Greatest Emperumaan, Sri SadagOpar, the One who is the servant of servant of servant of Emperumaan, has sung 1000 pAsurams. Out of those 1000, readers of these ten, will enable them to become ETERNAL SERVANTS OF EMPAERUMAAN FOE EVER.
