Periya Thirumozhi 2.2- Iniyan- enthai-Emperumaan- evvuL kidandhaanE

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

"Those who are devoted to Me and have surrendered to Me, will be granted

to perform ceaseless kaimkaryam at Parama padham and they all will be

given an opportunity to perform the same here too on this earth!"- says

the Lord! Where? Here at ThiruvevvuL- (Thiruvalloor) and is showing

Himself at this sthalam in a Beautiful Majestic reclining posture.

Prathyaksham to SaalihOthra Maharishi. This sthalam is situated near

Madras on the way to Arakkonam. AzhwAr enjoys this sthalam and the Lord

of ThiruvevvuL in this ten.

 

PerumAL: Sri Veeraraghava PerumAL alias Vaidya Veeraraghavan; Thaayaar-

Kanakavalli Thaayaar (also called Vasumathy). The Lord keeps His right

palm on the head of SaalihOthra muni and the left palm showinh jnAna

mudrA.

 

1. Covering himself under the disguise of a saffron clad sage, with the

legs shivering with fear (of being caught or found out), rAvaNan, went

with an ill, wrong, sinful intention of desiring for SitA PiraaTTi. Such

rAvaNan’s fort of lankA was completely destroyed by Lord Rama, the

Chakravartthi Thirumagan, with His sankalpam (pledge) to destroy the

same. Such Greatest Strongest Lord, was mocked at and teased by the

cowherd women having beautiful long bamboo like shoulders, saying "This

KaNNan has stolen butter from our home". Such a Sowlabhyan is He. This

Most wonderful Lord is having His Yoga NithrA at ThiruvevvuL.

 

2. rAvaNan, never considering SitA PiraaTTi as the Mother of whole

Universe - (akila jagan maathaa) desired for Her. He never took Rama’s

valour seriously and ignored it. He was misled to believe that the sword

which he had obtained from demigods would do him a lot good. He was

successful in all eight directions during the battle with everyone else

- Such a Veeran- the most successful king- his ten heads simply were

rolled down by a single arrow of Rama’s. This Lord - Sri Ramapiraan- is

my Father- My Swami- My PerumAn- and is here having His Yoga NithrA at

ThiruvevvuL.

 

3. During Ramavataar, He could not bear the pangs of separation from

SitA PiraaTTi and sent a monkey as His messenger to lankA where none can

dare cross the barriers of Oceans and enter into the kingdom of rAvaNA.

RavaNan- the one who was granted such strengths by dEvAs, was

effortlessly finished off by the anger of Lord Rama. The same Lord

(after seeing HanmAn’s success as a messenger for Him to SitA PiraaTTi)

wished to become a messenger Himself and went to the kingdom of

DuryOdhanan, as PaaNdava dhUthan. The same Lord drove the chariot for

Arjunan in KurukshEthra battle field. This Most Wonderful Lord is having

His Yoga NithrA at ThiruvevvuL.

 

4. Nappinnai PiraaTTi- whose tender fingers ache even when holding the

flower ball- was joined by the Strongest KaNNan after killing the mighty

seven oxen. This Lord of Cowherd group- is the unparalleled, limitless

Lord- the Son of Nandhan- the Lord of unbounded Most auspicious

attributes (KalyANA guNAs)- Our Master- Our Father. This Lord of ours is

having His Yoga NithrA at ThiruvevvuL.

 

5. This little son of Nandhan- during MahApraLya kaalam (the end of

Cosmic cycle) reclined on a little Banyan leaf, (after eating the whole

Universe, and its beings and non-beings, in order to protect and sustain

the Universe) and had His Yoga NithrA there. Such Greatest Most

Wonderful Lord - Red lotus eyed Lord- is having His Yoga NithrA at this

Most fertile- most beautiful, most fragrant, ThiruvevvuL Divya dEsam,

full of honey dripping flowery gardens.

 

6. (In this, and next two pAsurams, AzhwAr describes that Emperumaan is

the antharyaami in everyone and everything.) BhAgawathas- whose only

duty is to praise Him and pay their obeisance to Him, take turns and

compete with each other to pay their obeisance, by prostrating at the

Lord’s Feet and saying "KalyANa guNa gaNouga mahArNavaa! The Lord of

Most auspicious KalyANa GunAs! I am prostrating at Your Lotus Feet".

Such Greatest Lord is this PerumAn- The Red Lotus eyed Lord. The Lord -

who was praised by the Great Sage Sanaka et al that He is the Only One

who is the antharyaami of everyone including Sivan and BrahmA. Such

greatest Lord- The Primordial Chief is my Lord, who is having His Yoga

NithrA at ThiruvevvuL.

 

7. The antharyami of the Moon- the Five elements (Pancha bhUthAs)- the

Father of BrahmA- the "Saami appan" (the Lord of Saama vEdham)- the

Cause and Creator of everything (the "kaaraNa bhUthan")- the Lord who

had spread His Divine Lotus Feet all over the Universe when He measured

during Trivikramavataar- from where the river Ganga flowed (when the

Foot’s finger nail only could be seen and washed reverently by BrahmA)

and was taken by Sivan on his head. Such most Greatest Swami- My Lord –

SarvEshawaran is having His Yoga NithrA at ThiruvevvuL.

 

8. The Lord, after His sankalpam to create, created BrahmA, Sivan and by

His mere thought alone executed His actions. Sathyakaaman;

Sathyasankalpan. The Lord, who blessed us with the pristine pure

GithOpadEsam- the Lord of dark hued colour- my Swami- Parama dhaarmeekan

(Most Virtuous Lord)- the Lord who never be comprehended by anyone,

(even by Yogis); the Unparalleled One- "than oppAril appan"-peerless-

unmatched- unbounded Lord- but, Sweetest dear One for His devotees- The

Chief of Nithya sooris- - My Father My PerumAn- is having His Yoga

NithrA at ThiruvevvuL. (an excellent pAsuram!- I give up translating

AzhwAr’s outburst! I am not able to do justice!)

 

9. (Here AzhwAr declares that Emperumaan gets His greatness because He

is Sri Vallabhan- the Divine Consort of our Most merciful Mother Periya

PiraaTTi- MahAlakshmi) The Goddess- PiraaTTi- who always stays with the

Lord in His Chest- whose tender fingers ache even for holding the flower

ball- who is the Most Beautiful Divine Goddess, born from the most

beautiful Lotus Flower- the One who has settled down on His Chest and

says to the Lord "I will never ever go away from You" ("agalagillEn").

This PerumAn- Sri Vallabhan- the Blue hued Lord- the Chief of Indran

(who himself is the Chief of Devas) - Emperumaan-is having His Yoga

NithrA at ThiruvevvuL. (Please read the pAsuram:

 

"pandhirukkum mel viralaaL paavai pani malaraaL/

vandhu irukkum maarbhan neela mEni maNi vaNNan/

andharaatthil vaazhum vaanOr naayakanaay amaindha/

indhranukkum thamperumaan evvuL kidandhaanE/

 

10. Emperumaan of ThiruvevvuL- the One who is praised by His devotees

with the garland of flowers in their hands- and about whom Thirumangai

mannan has sung these pAsurams. He has sung in lovely Tamil words,

keeping Emperumaan’s most auspicious Nithya KalyANa guNAs in his mind.

Those who are able to recite these garland of ten Tamil pAsurams, ARE

CERTAIN TO RULE THIS UNIVERSE. IF THEY DO NOT NEED, THEY WILL RULE

PARAMA PADHAM. "idhu Satthiyam". ("aNdam aaLvadhu aaNai; anREl aaLvadhu

amarar ulagE!")
