Thiruvaaymozhi 9.7- Before I am finished, tell Him please.

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and brothers,

 

Last ten, AzhwAr was completely immersed in Emperumaan's beauty and

GuNAs and melted thinking of Them. His thirst for further enjoyment and

joining Him increases exponentially. He gets into NayikA bhAvam and

sends birds, clouds as "her" messengers to the Lord to express her

longing for ThirumUzikkaLam Emperumaan. She thinks that Emperumaan is so

compassionate and merciful that He definitely comes to save His beloved

BhakthAs. But He should know that so & so is desirous of Him. Hence, she

send the messengers to let Him know of her status.

 

1. Oh Cranes (of long red legs)! You all are taking good food and are

happy at our salty shores. You should on my behalf go to

ThirumUzhikkaLam as my messenger to Emperumaan there. That Emperumaan,

One who wears honey dripping ThuLasi maalai on His Head is Sri Krishnan,

the dancer with the pot. Please inform that Dancer my situation. If you

do that help, I will keep your and your relations' feet on my head.

 

2. Oh kurugoo birds! You all are enjoying with your mates

uninterruptedly. But have you looked at me? I am suffering here being

deserted by my Bhagawaan. Even my relatives are looking down at me and

have ignored me. Bhagawaan has also deserted me. Both sides- I have none

to take care of myself. What is the use of my living hereafter? Can you

do me great favour, by going to ThirumUzhikkaLam with your battalion and

ask Him "Do we not deserve to belong to Him? Is it not appropriate to

join the BhAgawathAs?". Please ask Him.

 

3. Oh kokkE! Oh Kurugoo birds! Please ask ThirumUzhikkaLa Emperumaan

point blank whether we, the ones who lost ourselves in His Beauty, are

not qualified ones for joining Him? That Emperumaan's Eyes, Hands,

limbs, Feet are all extremely beautiful like lovely red Lotus flowers.

His Divya MangaLa thirumEni is like that of greenish red Lotus leaf. His

lips are so reddish in colour. Such a Greatest Beauty- do we not deserve

to see Him?

 

4. Oh lovely clouds! Please go as my messenger, on my behalf to

Emperumaan for this lowly self- greatest sinner. The Emperumaan of

ThirumUzhikkaLam is the wholesome beauty filled entirely all over His

ThirumEni and is gracefully present at ThirumuzhikkaLam. Please go to

Him and tell Him "Please give Your Beautiful ThirumEni to this girl". If

you do that, do you think He will punish you? Will He ever punish you,

who is so bright (like Him) with your lightning. (No.)

 

5. Oh Clouds, that are surrounded by fiery lightning which engulf the

clouds so swiftly like the tongues of fire! Emperumaan, as He stays at

that Holy Paramapadham, stays in this sinner's heart too. He is also as

a jyOthiswarUpi at ThirumUzikkaLam. Please go and tell my situation to

that Emperumaan.

 

6. Oh bees! The ones who speak sweetly! Please tell about me to

Emperumaan, on my behalf. Please go to Him, the Lord of

ThirumUzhikkaLam, for me, as my messenger. Tell that Lord, who has

Periya Piraatti, MahAlakshmi in His chest, "This girl, due to her

suffering from being separated from You, has her bangles and dress, slip

off easily (she has thinned down so much!)". (The last line

"….thoodhuraitthal sepputhirEl sudar vaLaiyum kalaiyumE". Kalai- dress;

This means: Tell Him about my situation and the bangles, dress getting

slipped off due to my sufferings. NampiLLai, alternatively and

beuatifully ineterprest that "If you all go and tell Him my state, He

will definitely come. And hence, His coming will be only my bangles and

dress. What an anubhavam! NampiLLai NampiLLaithaan.)

 

7. Oh kurugoo birds! The Emperumaan of ThirumUzhikkaLam, the Red Lotus

eyed Lord, the Red Coral mouthed Lord is the Greatest Lord. This

Emperumaan has left me and gone without even hugging this sinner's

shoulders. Not just that! He has also taken my bangles and dress along

with Him; (means: I have lost my shyness!). Please see Him and convey

Him my state of affairs.

 

8. Oh Bees! The Ones who fly everywhere in the vast Nandhavanam (Garden)

and eat merrily the food/honey, fly and hum joyously to instil happiness

in our hearts! Please, on my behalf, go to Emperumaan as my messenger.

That Lord has got the most loveliest Divine Body and has got ThuLasi

maalai (garland) on His Head. That Emperumaan is blessing the world at

ThirumUzhikkaLam, surrounded by thick, huge ramparts. Tell Him my

pitiable state and my sorrows.

 

9. Oh young kurugoo bird! I have fallen deeply in love with

ThirumUzhikkaLa Emperumaan and due to that, I have lost myself in Him,

suffering from "pasalai" disease. My tender breasts, that are adorned by

beautiful jewels, have also become pale and changed their complexion. My

eyes keep shedding tears continuously. I have completely LOST MYSELF to

That Emperumaan, who wears the most Beautiful ThuLasi on His Head; who

has the Divine ChakrA in His hand. He has left me and deserted me

leaving me, suffering here. Tell Him that He should NOT take away His

Form also with Him; If He wishes to go. Let Him go. But He should leave

His Beautiful form with me. Taking that away from me is NOT proper for

love. (How is it? )

 

10. Oh Beautiful Swans! I am terribly suffering from languishing and His

separation from me torments me to the greatest extent. I am suffering

from "viraha thaapam" and am longing to join Him. Due to my yearning and

thaapam, my body thins down, gets pale; my dress loosens; my "mEgalai"

(waistband?) slips off. If it continues like this, it appears even my

AthmA will lose itself and will end. Tell Him that it is NOT appropriate

of Him to leave me at this sorry, pitiable state of affairs. Before I am

finished, tell Him please.

 

11. The illustrious jyOthi, Emperumaan is there at ThirumUzhikkaLam,

always forever. In the state of being away from that Emperumaan, in

PiraaTTi bhAvam, Kurugoor SadagOpar has sung these faultless pAsurams,

as if they are the suffering, cries of sweet, parrot voiced Parangusa

nAyaki. These ten come out of AzhwAr's 1000 immortal pAsurams on

Emperumaan. Those who learn these ten will be able to get rod of these

births (which are the main causes of separation from Him) and enter into

His abode where there is no further birth.
