Thiruvaaymozhi 10.8- ThiruppEraan Thiruvadi PiditthEn piRavi kedutthEn"

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

AzhwAr is so elated and excited at Emperumaan’s love for him. Bhagawaan

has a “vishEsha” (special) desire for NammAzhwAr. (Not surprising. He

himself is a special azhwAr!). AzhwAr in this ten as to how come

suddenly Emperumaan has changed – He was so indifferent- we were yelling

for Him. Now what has happened? Then he realises that there is nothing

and no effort/reason from his end; it is Emperumaan’s unconditional,

“nirhEthuka” kataaksham and AzhwAr enjoys and glorifies His such a

merciful nature in this ten.

 

1. I just uttered “ThirumaalirunchOlai” once. He took this as a reason

and has entered into my heart and filled my heart totally and fully.

Such a DayaaLu, Parama kaaruNikO Bhagawaan, who showed so much mercy on

me, is staying at this Divya dEsam by name ThiruppEr. It is the most

fertile place on the banks of the Cauvery river.

 

2. Bhagawaan, who is at ThiruppEr sthalam, has entered into my heart and

stays telling “I will NOT go from here”. (pErEn enRu en nenju niRaiyap

pugundhaan”). The One who had such a stomach that retained seven worlds,

seven Oceans, seven mountains and all beings, and still had lot of space

in His stomach, is now fully in my heart. I am blessed to be able to get

Him in my heart. (aaRaa vayiRRaanai adangap piditthEnE).

 

3. ThiruppEr Divya dEsam is full of tall towers and huge halls, with

colourful flags, tied to the top of those buildings. For me, reaching

the Lotus Feet of ThiruppEr Emperumaan has become easier. (How?) Due to

His grace alone, this happened! I have caught hold of those Feet that I

was blessed with! Hence, I could get rid of (further) births! Hereafter,

I can NOT get any more (karmic) diseases! I am able to destroy the

ignorance/ maayaa ( or ajjnAnam) of being in samsaaric afflictions.

(read the pAsuram! Beautiful! (“PiditthEn piRavi kedutthEn piNi saarEn*

maditthEn manai vaazhkkaiyuL niRpathOr maayaiyai* kodi Gopura maadangaL

soozh ThiruppEraan* adi sErvadhu enaaku YeLidhaayinavaaRE!”- What a

Thamizh! What an anubhavam! What a lovely expression in simple Tamil!

aiYo! ivar azhagenna azhiyaa azhagudiayaar!)

 

4. ThiruppEr sthalam is so beautiful with cute parrots flying here and

there in those gardens. There Emperumaan of this sthalam, is going to

grant me Clear, Paramapadha vaasam. Because of that, my eyes are filled

with tears (of joy). The eyes stare at the vacuum with cheer. My mind

drowns in bliss with that thought and is flabbergasted by Emperumaan’s

unbounded limitless unconditional “nirhEthuka” kataaksham. What a mercy!

What a greatness!

 

5. ThiruppEr Emperumaan has entered into me and has taken a pledge (vow)

to grant me Paramapadha vaasam. For that, He has entered into this body

made of flesh, and destroyed all cruel accrued sins (which can simply

throw me out of gear with their consequences). (Read this pAsuram! Each

one is so cute! “VaanE tharuvaan enakkay otti/ UnEy kurambhai (body)

idhanuL pughundhu * inRu/ thaanE thadumaaRRa vinaigaL thavirtthaan/

thEnEy pozhil soozh then thiruppEr nagaraanE/”)

 

6. ThiruppEr Emperumaan is staying permanently at ThirumaalirunchOlai,

too. Thus, The One who stays at all these Divya dEsams, has come to me

today and says “I will stay only in your heart” and has entered into my

heart fully and filled in its entirety. I am blessed to obtain His love.

Hence, I am immersed in the nectar of His exquisite Beauty and His

Greatest KalyANa GuNAs and drinking Them blissfully. (….inRu vandhu/

iruppEneRu en nenju niRaiyap pugundhaan/ viruppE peRRu amudham uNdu

kaLitthEn/)

 

7. At this most beautiful place- ThiruppEr – Emperumaan is showing

Himself so gracefully for me to see Him incessantly and enjoy, without

leaving from my sight at all. Thus, for me- who has got such Greatest

enjoyment and anubhavam of joining Him- is there any grievance? NONE. I

enjoyed even the kaimkayam sukham (by singing these pAsurams), and am

thus blessed to utter the “Namah:” word at the end also. (“thoNdu

ugaLitthu andhi thozhum sollupeRREn”).

 

8. Bhagawaan stays always in my eyes without any gap. He is very much

desirous of taking me to Parama padham. To think of Him is simply

impossible to put Him within any bounded thinking /understanding. He is

incomprehensible. He is the sum total of sweetness of all seven music

(sapthaswaras?). This Greatest Emperumaan is here at ThiruppEr Divya

dEsam. Today He has come and entered into my heart. IT IS COMPLTETLY

TRUE AND FIRM.

 

9. For ages, He had been simply ignoring me and today, He has taken me

even as an object worthy of consideration and He- the One who is

Enjoyment personified- has made Himself enter into my smallest heart and

stay there. Today, he blesses me like this and accepted me; why did He

leave me to those cruel five sense organs for so long and simply ignored

me? I demand an answer from ThiruppEr Emperumaan for my doubt/question.

(An interesting anecdote reported by NampiLLai: as written by

Periyavaacchaan PiLLai: Nam jeeyer asked his AchAryA Paraasara Bhattar

(son of KooratthAzhwAn) as to what could be the reply from Emperumaan

for this question from AzhwAr? Bhattar immediately replies “ what can He

say? He is ashamed of even raising His Head and is drawing lines on the

ground with His toe finger, due to His feeling guilty of keeping AzhwAr

waiting so long and not having AzhwAr in Sri Vaikuntam”.- What a reply!

I bet Emperumaan and PiraaTTi would have smiled at each other with a

beaming face for this reply from Bhattar!)

 

10. My Father! BhagawaanE! I have been blessed to reach Your Feet! By

performing kaimkaryam to You (of singing these Thiruvaaymozhi pAsurams

with love for You), I am blessed to be able to reach Your Feet. Only

this anubhavam (blissful experience) shall stay with me forever and

ever. At ThiruppEr Divya dEsam, Vedic scholars, Sri VaishNavas are

staying. At such a Grand place, where there is Emperumaan, gracefully

showing Himself, BhAgawathAs reach and get themselves rid of all hurdles

and worries. (means: there will be no enemies for Bhagawadh anubhavam

here).

 

11. Sri SadagOpar of Thirukkurugoor (where lots of good, pure devotees

live), composed these ten pAsurams on ThiruppEr (out of his 1000

pAsurams). BhakthAs who read these ten, - will make the entire

neighbourhood as Parama padham.
