Naanmugan Thirubandhaadhi-3 -Sivan is the witness for my paying obeisance to YOU

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Let us dive again into the blissful happiness of another ten pAsurams

from Thirumazhisaivandha jOthi's Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi.

 

21. In this pAsuram, AzhwAr enjoys the exquisite beauty of Sri

Narasimhan. Oh! Is this big huge vast mouth, like a cave that exhales

flakes of fire? Oh Are they the eyes of balls of fiery sticks ("koLLi

kattai" in Tamil)? The ThirumEni (Divine Divya mangaLa body) is like one

whole of fire writhing with rage. Oh Is this the lovely enchanting

Beauty of Narasinga mUrthy- The Chief of NithyasUris?

 

22. AzhwAr advises us in this pAsuram. He, the One who is the Cause and

the Creator of the Universe, is the residence of all seven lOkams, of

all guNas; He is the small baby child (on Banyan leaf) who had the whole

universe in His stomach and protected the same during PraLayam (Cosmic

cycle); He is the One who appeared as "Fish" (Matsyam); then took the

terrifying huge form of Narasinghan, the Only Protector and Savior of

all beings (jIvAtmAs). He is the One who is also the Personification and

epitome of Divine Splendor and Beauty. Hold and pay obeisance to the

Lotus Feet of this ParamAthmA- MahAPurushan, Emperumaan Sriya: Pathih

Sriman Narayanan.

 

23. A Beautiful pAsuram! AzhwAr says " Emperumaan's nature of saving us

is automatic and spontaneous". The Greatness of Emperumaan, who won the

seven oxen to get Nappinnai PiraaTTi, who takes His OWN EXTRA EFFORTS to

inculcate bhakti in the minds of His devotees (bhAgawathAs) is simply

EXCELLENT. Is it essential for us to sow a seed of our effort on this?

No! NOT REQUIRED. When you have nothing to do, and look for some

pastimes, The Dark Black rainy Clouds will appear in the background of

blue sky and show you the DIVINELY BEAUTIFUL BLACK EMERALD THIRUMENI OF

EMPERUMAAN IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. And you can enjoy Him then and there.

(adadaa! enna azhaghu! What an enjoyment! "Oozhi mudhalvan uruvm pOl mei

kaRutthu")

 

24. During the four yugAs, You have shown Yourself in white, Golden,

Pasumai-Greenish and Dark Black colours. You killed Madhu, Kaitapar

(coming in white VeLLai parimukar- Hayagreevan); You enabled Arjunan win

as per his mental calculations (to win the battle) and stayed as

rakshakan for him during the battle and you stopped at the right time

Arjun by praising him and advising him (with GitOpadEsam) when he wished

to stop the battle (before it even started off).

 

25. EmperumaanE! You did not even feel bad to go for Yaachakam (begging)

as a Brahmachari boy (during Your VaamanAvataar) and You could win over

mahAbhali and obtained the earth back. mahAbhali, the one who (it is

told) melted the Diamond and drank in order to get such strong

body/strength like the diamond, the one who was having false pride for

being so, was won over effortlessly by You by going in for Yaachakam.

You removed the enmity of mahAbhali, too, thereby. Is there any fruits

or dividends for You, because of Your such actions? NONE. You carry out

all such actions only FOR YOUR BHAKTHAS. YOU DO EVERYTHING ONLY FOR YOUR

DEVOTEES.

 

26. Oh Emperumaan of Dark Blue Ocean colour! All PerumALs whom I pay

obeisance to, are all You only and none else. See the witness (the

saakshi) for my paying obeisance - he is Sivan. Thus, I, who is paying

my obeisance to You, - Please bless adiyEn to continue to pay obeisance

to You forever and always.

 

27. Oh Fools! Emperumaan- The One whom even Sivan can not see and pay

obeisance to- the One who has the most fragrant garland of flowers;

whose Feet, I am able to pay my obeisance to and prostrate. To me-

Emperumaan, on His own, out of His Greatest compassion/dayA on me, has

come and entered into my heart. Is there any other fruit (phalan) do I

need? will I take? None. This alone is the fruit.

 

28. EmperumaanE! For You, even building a bridge across the sea,

finishing the story of Vaali, bending (and breaking) the bow at

MithilApuri, bending the back of rAvanA (who did not bend down to You)

with Your arrow to kill him, they are all effortless child's play.

 

29. Sri Ramapiraan is the Personification of Beauty and DharmA (DharmO

Vigrahavaan). Those when thinking of Lord Rama, always likes Him and His

ThirumEni azhaghu (Beauty). Such a beauty is He. He is the Brightest

shining lustre. He is the Most Wonderful Emperumaan. He is the One who,

angrily aimed one arrow and killed the massive asurA, kumbhakarNan,

whose eyebrows alone are as long as one yOjanai (10 miles?- 18

kilometers?). Such Greatest Beautiful Emperumaan is Sri Ramachandra

Murthy. ("SeeRikkoNdu yeidhaanavan"- Valmiki says "The One who never

gets angry, angrily aimed the arrow at kumbhakarNan.).

 

30. Sri RanganAthan- The One who has captured me - will save me and

protect me without pushing me into this drama stage of worldly affairs.

("All the world's a stage"). That Emperumaan has stayed and entered into

my heart. Will He now like to go back to AdhisEshan? No. (He likes only

my heart and He will always be with me.)
