Guest guest Posted June 16, 1998 Report Share Posted June 16, 1998 SrI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, NammAzhwAr, after pleading with the Lord to take him away from the complete take over of his sense organs and their conquering his mind in order to reach the abode of His Lotus Feet. But, getting no satisfactory response from Emperumaan, AzhwAr gets into "Parangusa nAyaki" again. She weeps, cries, sobs, laments, sighs, blathers, worships the sky with folded hands, smiles at the vacuum, and does all sorts of things in total emotional sufferings and anubhavam in longing and languishing. This ten pAsurams is on OUR DEAREST GREATEST SRI RANGANATHA PERUMAL AT SRI RANGAM. It is written by AzhwAr as if these pasurams are the pathetic appeal of ParangusanAyaki's mother to NamperumAL. In essence, the mother asks: "What are You going to do for her? What is Your plan?" 1. (Please bear with me. I just can not resist writing the Transliterated version for the BEAUTIFUL TAMIL and lovely words and meanings, when someone reads it. In fact, when Sri KrishNa prEmi tells that during his discourse, it is so sweet and pleasing to the ears, that one can totally visualize the Lady AzhwAr going crazy after NamperumAL, Sri Ranganathar, and cries, sobs, laughs, laments, etc..) kangulum pagalum kaN thuyi laRiyaaL kaNNanNeer kaikaLaal iRaikkum, changuchak karanga LenRukai kooppum `thaamaraik kaN' enRu thaLarum, `eNGNGanE tharikkE Nnunnaivittu' ennum irunNilam kaithuzaa virukkum, chengayal paaynNeerth thiruvaraNG kaththaay! ivaLthiRath thencheykin RaayE.. PerumaanE.. ThiruvarangaperumaanE! My girl has been always thinking of You and has been crying ceaselessly with no sleep during the nights and the daytime as well. She is even splashing her tears ( that flood the entire area in such quantum). She thinks of Your Most Beautiful fragrant ornaments and says : "sanghum Chakram" with folded hands (to pay obeisance to You and offer Shraddhaanjali). She wonders at the exquisite beauty of Your lovely, Lotus like Eyes and melts at that thinking alone. "How will I ever be able to survive without You"- She has been crying like that. She has been digging the Earth with both her hands (in search of You) and is remorse with tears in her eyes. Oh Periya PerumaaLE! (Big Lord!) The One who is lying down at Srirangam! What are You going to do with my darling Girl? 2.encheykin Raay en thaamaraik kaNNaa! ennum; kaNNeer malka irukkum, `encheykE NneRinNeerth thiruvaraNG kaththaay?' ennumvev vuyirththuyirth thurukum: `mun_cheydha vinaiyE! mukappataay' ennum `mukilvaNNaa! thakuvathO?' ennum, muncheydhiv vulagam uNtumizanN thaLandhaay! engolO mudikinRa thivatkE? …..Oh ThiruvaranghanaathanE, The Lord of Srirangam, which is situated in the middle of Cauvery river! My darling daughter, keeps thinking of You, and tells (amidst sobs) "The Beautiful Lotus eyed Lord! What are You planning to do for me?". With tears rolling down her cheeks, She always is thinking of You and is remorse with tears welled in her eyes. She says "What can I do now?" and sighs heavily and deeply- her heart melting for You, Lord. She weeps saying that it is her large sins that have been committed her in the past for this pitiable, suffering state of hers. She tells: "Oh My Lord, who is (so merciful) like Clouds. Is it apt for Your caliber to trouble me like this? (It is Not.). You brought the entire universe after retaining it in the stomach and also measure the same with Your Feet. You, who is so Greatest,- why are You like this with my daughter? What is Your action on her? (What is going to win?- Your mercy or her paapams?) 3. My girl, shamelessly, (even after considering You as her hubby) calls You by name "MaNivaNNaa!. (Ladies do not call their hubbies by name those days!…. Now…. they all call them names(!)) Awaiting for You, looking at the sky, She faints. Her heart melts with ecstasy and anubhavam when she admires Your valor, calling You "My Master! The One who destroyed the asurA group!". She yells uninterruptedly saying "My Lord! The One who is rare to be seen by (external) eyes! You should only bless me to let me enjoy You". She mentions about Your avataars and calls You lovingly and dearly "Sri Ramaa! Sri KrishNA!". Oh PerumaanE! The One who is lying down at Srirangam! What have You done to her for her to go so much crazee after You! For her to be so madly in love with You? And what are You going to do for her NOW? (What are You upto?) 4. My girl is lying motionless (as if she is in coma state). Suddenly, suffering form thinking of You, she gets us and starts wandering aimlessly. She pays obeisance with her hands folded and gets into trance. (Sometimes) she exclaims "Love for Him- How much suffering has it given to me!" and faints. She also cries calling You as "Oh PerumaanE The One who has the round beautiful ChakrA in Your right hand!" and falls unconscious. She is suffering so much and is having terrible pangs of being away from You. Oh Periya PerumaaLE! You should think of doing good to my girl. Please do not think of planning to do otherwise on her. 5. My daughter, every second acts funnily, contradicting her own acts, performed little earlier. PerumaaLE She has ALWAYS BEEN THINKING OF YOU ONLY. Subsequently, she looks at the vacuum, and stares dumbly. Immediately, she gets up and behaves like a very smart, intelligent girl (with full of life in her eyes) and pays obeisance to You with shraddgaanjali and calls You lovingly "Oh ThiruvarangatthaanE!". She also prostrates on the Ground. Tears roll down her cheeks endless and calls You "come fast; come fast, Rangaa!" and faints. Oh Lord! The One who made such great sufferings due to her love for You on my darling daughter! Oh EmperumaanE! The One who tore hiraNya kasipu's body during the twilight! Oh Lord ! The One churned Ksheersaagar (ThiruppaaRkadal- Milk Ocean!)! IS IT RIGHT ON YOU- IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO TROUBLE HER LIKE THIS? She is determined to reach YOUR LOTUS FEET. 6. My girl says "Oh Mischievous Chief, My Master! My beloved! The One who is haunting me and has robbed my heart with His love! Oh Big Large Emerald! The One who has Red Coral lips on Your Beautiful Mouth!" She also yells and calls You loud, "Oh Lord! The One who stays at SriRangam (surrounded by Cauveri river), Rangaa!". She invites You saying "Oh master! The One who is the Chief of NityasUrIs! The One who has the Panch Ayudhams (Five weapons) with Him!". Lord! You have made her blather like such statements ceaselessly! THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN DO TO HER NOW IS TO HAVE MERCY ON HER. I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF MY SINS (BEING A MOTHER TO PARANGUSANAYAKI), YOU ARE NOT TAKING HER TO YOUR LOTUS FEET. 7. My girl, always thinking of You at all times, says: "Oh Lord! The One who most appropriately, most suitable to the place, time and people, creates pains and pleasures! The One who is accessible for jnAnis! The Lord of Dark Ocean colour! The One who owns the world, surrounded by Ocean! KaNNA!". She also calls You lovingly, "Oh Lord ! The One who is majestically showing Himself at Srirangam! The One who has made me disabled to go anywhere (or to anyone) else!. SHE KEEPS THINKING OF YOU INCESSANTLY AND WEEPS CONTINUOUSLY. HER TEARS FROM HER MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES ROLL DOWN THE CHEEKS LIKE RAIN. Her heart has been melting with that thinking and she is suffering with a terrible languishing. 8. My darling daughter calls You as the Chief of NityasUris. She also calls You as the Cowherd boy who lifted the Govardhana mountain. She cries- cries and cries calling You loudly with sobs and tears " Rangaaa….. Rangaaaa….Rangaaaa…and pays obeisance to You with palms glued to each other. She sighs so heavily as if the AthmA is steaming and baking inside. She addresses You as The Blue hued Lord and gets up to look at the space (in the sky) with a stunning, surprising look without even blinking her eyes. (may be she has spotted You there!..). Immediately she falls with a worry on her face and sadness saying " when will be able to see You?". Oh Thiruvarangha perumaanE! What is it that You are going to do on my daughter?. What IS IT THAT I CAN DO NOW (BUT TO LAMENT LIKE THIS AND SEE HER SUFFERING). Whatever that one should do (to get Your mercy) she has done that already. Rangaa! Please do not lose her. (She is so fond of You and is so madly in love with You unlike other worldly people who are behind materialistic pursuits and not BOTHERED to even look at You) 9. BhagawaanE! IS THER NO END AT ALL FOR THIS PAINFUL SUFFERING OF MY GIRL? She keeps thinking of You and calls You "Oh Lord! THE ONE WHO HAS Periya Piraatti (THE ONE WHO HELPS - IS HELPING- FOR MY GREAT BLISSFUL ANUBHAVAM) in Your chest!". She addresses You "My AtmA's life! The apple of my eye! ("uyirin uyirE!") You are the One who brought back the Mother Earth (BhUmi piraatti) with Your beautiful Varaaha avataar! Oh Master The One who is perfectly matching for and the dearest beloved of Piraatti! You are that KaNNan, who conquered and killed the seven oxen to join Nappinnaip Piraatti!"- Like that she has been lovingly calling You. Oh Lord! Periya PerumaaLE! The One who did so many of such wonderful, incomprehensible acts! The One who is lying down at Srirangam down South! IS THERE NY END AT ALL FOR HER LANGUISHING? 10. EmperumaanE! She, The One who is so madly in love with You, regrets that there is absolutely no end for her. "You are the One who is the Chief of all three worlds! You are the One who executes Indran's powers by being an anthrayaami in him. You are the One directs Sivan, as His antharyaami. You are the same one who is the antharyaami for BrhamA! You are the Chief of NityasUris, (ones who, due to their anubhavam and enjoyment of Your Lotus Feet, have become Divinely beautiful like You)! You ARE THE SAME ONE WHO SHOWS HIMSELF AT SRIRAMGAM SO MAJESTICALLY! "- like that she has been addressing You. …..(TILL NOW, SHE BEHAVED AS IF SHE HAS NOT ATTIANED YOUR LOTUS FEET. But Now, SHE HAS GOT NEAR YOU AND REACHED THE ABODE OF YOUR BLUE HUED LOTUS LIKE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOTUS FEET. (NampiLLai says: AzhWar must have got the blessings of Emperumaan to enjoy the blissful experience of seeing and serving the Lotus Feet in his "inner" eye only. It is Not his physical reach.) 11. Sri sadagOpar has been blessed to visualize reaching the abode of the Lotus Feet of Cloud colored Lord, Periya PerumAL (Sri Ranganathar). He was born at Thirukkurugoor and has sung 1000 pAsurams on Emperumaan, the Blue hued Lord. Those who read these ten (out of those 1000) WILL OBTAIN THE BLESSINGS OF EMPERUMAAN SRI RANGANATHAR TO IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN BLISSFUL ENJOYMENT OF EMPERUMAAN HIMSELF WLONGWITH NITYASURIS.
