Thiruvaaymozhi 10.7- Emperumaan is 26th tatvam.

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

I am getting excited! AzhwAr is getting closer and is ecstatic about

Emperumaan’s Greatest “sowseelya” guNA. Emperumaan’s entering into

AzhwAr’s heart was gloried in the last ten. But PerumaaL also wants to

be with AzhwAr’s ThirumEni too, and does not leave him. AzhwAr pleads “I

know it is due to Your love for me! But I do not like Your stooping down

so low. Please don’t.” adadaa! Here AzhwAr BEAUTIFULLY narrates

Emperumaan’s “vaanjai” (affection) on AzhwAr.

 

1. Oh Poets who sing with apt words and great meanings! Take care of

yourself with great caution when you all compose. Because, there is a

mischievous Bhagawaan staying at ThirumaalirunchOlai. He is a Great

Maayavan and will deceive you easily. He simply said “Through you, I

will sing myself on Me and enjoy” and has united with me completely,

with my mind, my AthmA like the water. He has not even let His PiraaTTi

know of His trick and has done a clandestine operation in me. He has

swallowed my mind, my AthmA, and has entered into me so completely as

to remove me fully and replace mw with Himself. Hence, if you sing on

Him, that’s all. You will not exist. Beware!

 

2. Bhagawaan has enjoyed me fully in all respects and all by Himself. He

has not only become everything and everyone in all places; also He is

the One who directs them; also He is in them as their respective AthmAs

even. Further, He has made me sing on Him and made it appear as if I

praised Him. He has done that on Himself. He is so sweet to me in every

way and every sense like that of a mixture of Honey, milk, nectar,

sugarcane juice. He is majestically showing Himself at

ThirumaalirunchOlai. That Emperumaan, who is to be drunk and enjoyed by

me as a sweet juice. Instead of my enjoying Him, He has drunk me

completely!

 

3. Emperumaan filled my AthmA completely and enjoyed me; He did not stop

with that. He also entered into this lowly physical body and filled with

Himself in my body and life wonderfully and completely. (“ennai muRRum

uyiruNdu en maaya yaakkai yidhanuL pukku”) Such a maayavan is blissfully

present at ThirumaalirunchOlai. I have become His servant, by looking at

that direction and thinking of that Emperumaan. Is there any other

bhAgyam greater than that? Will I go for any other place? I won’t. Is

there any grace of Emperumaan bigger than this? As if there is more than

this, He is falling on me and is filling me totally. How is that? What a

Grace! I don’t know the quantum of His dayA.

 

4. What can I say of Emperumaan’s “aruL”(grace)? He enters into every

being and every object and in all worlds, becomes everything as their

respective antharAthmAs and directs them. He does not just stop at

that. He also wanders on the Earth everywhere. He never leaves the

southern place – ThirumaalirunchOlai malai. He stays there gracefully.

That Emperumaan has willingly stayed in my body and does not wish to

leave me. What a love He has on me!

 

5. Emperumaan- The One who destroys the asurAs, who claim that they will

not be subservient to Bhagawaan; The One who does good to and saves the

pure dEvAs; The One who enchants Rishis (who enjoy Him KalyANa guNAs

that can never be comprehended or thought of by others); - has sung on

Himself (through me by becoming me) in these pAsurams, that are pleasing

and enjoyable to rishis and dEvAs. That Lord (who has composed this

Thiruvaaymzohi ) is here at ThirumaalirunchOlai mountain. (‘ this

pasuram should be read as “ asurar nalivu eidha, amarar polivu eidha,

munivar inbham thalai siRappa, thannaiththaan paadi thenna yennum en

emmaan thirumaalirunjOlai malaiyaan” – means: Emperumaan of

ThirumaalirunchOlai has made me sing with rhythms, and tunes, these

pAsurams, to destroy asurAs, to save dEvAs, and to enchant Rishis.)

 

6. My Lord! ThirumaalirunchOlai EmperumaanE! The One who could not be

seen even by BrahmA and Sivan! After their desperate longing to see You,

with great Bhakthi and paying obeisance to Your Feet by offering

flowers, You showered Your mercy on them and they could have a glimpse

of Your Divine effulgence. Such Greatest Emperumaan is gracefully

showing Himself at ThirumaalirunchOlai. This Lord only retained all

three worlds during MahApraLayam in His unparalleled stomach and saved

them. He has now enslaved me fully and rules me. He is totally after me

and is in love with me! My Emperumaan is the greatest lover!

 

7. “EmperumaanE! Please grant us Your mercy!” (“aruLai ee emmaanE!”) –

thus Sivan, the jnAni Brahman, Indran, and all other dEvAs, Rishis, who

have no ajjnAnam- Where do they all jointly come and pay obeisance? to

whose Feet and at which place?- IT IS NONE OTHER THAN

ThirumaalirunchOlai Emperumaan. BLESSED ARE WE TO REACH THIS DIVINE

PLACE.

 

8. Bhagawaan has desired my head (and placed His Feet) as much as He

likes ThirumaalirunchOlai and ThiruppaaRkadal. He has adored my body as

much as He adores Sri vaikuNtam and and Thirumala. But my jIvan is

completely intermingled with the “unescapable” uncrossable” prakriti

(material nature). (Such a lowly self am I; - Still) Emperumaan can NOT

bear being separated from me-my jIvan, my body, my mind, my speech even

for a fraction of a second. (“orumaanodiyum piriyaan ennoozhi mudhalvan

oruvanE”). He alone is the Primordial Chief and is the Creator of all

beings- SarvEshwaran. (What an Emperumaan! He likes my (filthy) body as

much as He likes the Greatest Divya dEsams!)

 

9. Bhagawaan is the cause of all beings and of the entire universe. He

is unparalleled and limitless Primordial Chief. He is the One who, on

His own desire, and only by thinking, creates, protects and destroys. Oh

Mind! Please never ever leave such Greatest Emperumaan who is here at

ThirumaalirunchOlai. You live firmly holding that mountain as our only

support”. At the same time, Emperumaan tells His mind “Never leave the

ThrumEni of AzhwAr”. AzhwAr pleads to Emperumaan, “EmperumaanE! Please

do not love to hold my body and life; Please let them die so that I can

reach You faster at Sri vaikuntam.”.(Dearest sisters and Brothers,. What

a merciful Lord! What a Great AzhwAr! – read the fourth line- This line

is excellent. “vaazhi manamE kaividEl yudalum uyirum manga vottE” – the

first three words, “vaazhi manamE kaividEl- AzhwAr addresses to his mind

not to leave this place; the remaining words are: udalum, uyirum,

mangavottE- “Please leave this body and life extinguish.” (Don’t hold

them, My Lord! Leave them for they are to extinguish.-they are to be

dropped here). A Superb line!)

 

10. My Master! The One who gracefully presents Himself at

ThirumaalirunchOlai! My Saviour! The One who instilled desire for You in

me and You alone became my desire! You should show mercy and let this

sarIram (of mine) that is Your “maaya” (and which is the sum total of 24

tatvams, namely., The sensual pleasures (five), the sense organs (five),

KarmEndriyam (five), BhUthAs (five), mUla prakritti, Mahat, ahankaaram,

and manas (mind)) leave me. (Here AthmA is the 25th tatvam and

Emperumaan is 26th. Sri Mukkur Lakshmi Narasimhachariar has mentioned

“when someone counts 1,2,3…, and when 26 is uttered, Emperumaan says

“Yes, Did you call Me?”.)

 

11. Emperumaan, who is the supporter of AthmA and the AthmA itself-

could make the mahat, ahankaaram, manas get weakened and the cruel

strong indriyas (senses) destroyed. About such Most Merciful Emperumaan,

Sri SadagOpar of Thirukkurugoor has sung 1000 pAsurams. Out of them,

these ten have been sung TO REMOVE AND DESTROY THE AHANKAARA,

MAMAKAARAM AND THE PRAKRITTI SAMBHANDHAM. They are on

ThirumaalirunchOlai Divya dEsam.
