Periya Thirumozhi 2.4- ninRaan; irundhaan; kidandhaan; nadandhaan

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Emperumaan- who shows Himself always with periya PiraaTTI MahAlaksmhi at

Sri vaishnva sthalams for our enjoyment and removal of our enemies,

shows Himself in the most graceful form at Thiruneermalai, where

whatever one aspires or wishes will get them fulfilled by His grace. It

is situated near Pallavaram (at about 3 km. from Pallavaram) at Madras.

This is a lovely temple.

 

At the base, Moolavar: NeervaNNan, NeelamugilvaNNan, NinRa ThirukkOlam

(Standing posture). Thaayar: Ani maamalar Mangai.

 

On the mountain top: Moolavar 1:(irundhaan- Sitting posture): Saantha

Narasimhan, facing east; Moolavar 2: (kidandhaan- reclining posture):

RanganAthan (in MaaNickka Sayanam), facing South (Thayaar: RanganAyaki);

Moolavar 3: (Nadandhaan- Walking posture): Trivikraman, facing east.

 

Prathyaksham: MaarkaNdEyar; Bruhu, ThoNdaimaan;

 

Theertham: Ksheera PushkariNi, KaaruNya PushkariNi, Siddha PushkariNi,

SwarNa pushkariNi (four theerthams);

 

VisEsham about this sthalam (idheeham): Sage Valmeeki, had been here and

went up the hill top, and paid his obeisance to Ranganathan, Narasimhan

and Trivikraman on the top, and came down. At the base, Valmeeki

meditated on Lord Rama, and immeditaley, RanganAtha PerumAL appeared as

Sri Raman, Thaayar appeared as SitA PiraaTTi, AdhisEshan appeared as

Ilaya perumAL, Sanghu, Chakram appeared as Bharathan and Chathrugnan,

while VishvaksEnar and Garudan appeared as Sugreevan and Hanumaan in

front of the Sage. Vaalmeeki prayed to the Lord and requested Him to be

present there at the base permanently. The Lord stays put as Neer vaNNan

in ninRa thirukkOlam, along with Thaayaar (in a separate sannidhi). When

ThirumangaiAzhwAr came here, there were severe floods and the whole hill

was surrounded by waters (neer) and thus called "neermalai". AzhwAr

waited for six months to pay his obeisance to the Lord of

Thiruneermalai. (Is that why there is a place at Madras called AzhwAr

Thirunagari?- I don't know!) (I have digressed a lot! I am sorry!)

 

1. "anRu aayar kulak kodiyOdu…. NeermalaiyE" (The Lord who has no mercy

for asurAs is here at Thiruneermalai!). The Lord, who, when He had

appeared as KaNNan- joined with Nappinnai PiraaTTi, the beautiful

creeper of cowherd folks, and with RukmiNi piraaTTi, the incarnate of

MahAlakshmi, - the Lord who has absolutely no mercy (or compassion) for

asurAs and rAkshasaas at all times, the Lord who shows Himself in the

most beautiful archAvathaarams at ThirunaRaiyoor in standing posture,

reclines at Thirukkudanthai, walks (measures) at ThirukkOviloor, is here

permanently at Thiruneermalai.

 

2. "kaaNdaavanam enbhadhu Or kaadu….. neermalaiyE" (PerumAl got some

things done through Arjunan and also executed some by Himself!). The

Lord, who had appeared as KaNNan to destroy the dense forests

(KaaNdaavanam, that had belonged to Indran earlier) of asurAs with fire;

who had saved the earth and removed its burden in the KurukshEthra

battle (by killing the wrong doers). The Lord who had grown huge and

ferocious as Lord Narasinghan and tore the large chest of hiraNyan into

two with His sharp hand nails and killed him. The Lord who had walked

and measured the Universe with His Feet as Trivikraman. Such Greatest

Lord is here at Thiruneermalai.

 

3. "alamannu madal suri sangham edutthu…. neermalaiyE" (the Lord

appeared as Krishnan and reduced the huge burden of the earth!). The

Lord, who has adorned His most beautiful Divine body, Divine mace, the

Conch, the ChakrAudham, appeared in front of DuryOdhanaadhis. The Lord

who reduced the huge burden of BhUmi piraaTTi, who always lets Her

senses enjoy the presence of the most beautiful ornaments adorning her

breasts. How did He reduce her burden? By letting hundreds of asurAs die

everyday in the battle field of KurukshEthra and by performing wonderful

thing of hiding the Sun with His ChakrA thereby bringing darkness at the

unscheduled time. Such Most exquisitely beautiful Lord- is here at

Thiruneermalai to save the world.

 

4. "thaangaadhadhor aaLariyaay… neermalaiyE" (theLLiya singham and

Devaki singham is here at Thiruneermalai!). SarvEshwaran, appeared as

huge ferocious Lion and killed the Strong hiraNyan and let his dark

haired beautiful wives enter into the funeral pyre with him. The Lord,

who did the most wonderful things in the huge, not-at-all-easy-to-win

battle field: He. The Supreme Parathvam was such a sowlabhyan as KaNNan,

stooped down to become a close friend of PaaNdavas and stood as their

chariot driver; He ensured the death of all DuryOdhanaadhis in the great

battle filed and saved Dhraupathi. (Since she had vowed for their

deaths!) Such Greatest Parathvam- Sowlabhyan stays at Thiruneermalai!

 

5. "maalum kadalaara malaikkuvadittu… neermalaiyE" (the rAvaNaanthakan-

Sri Raman is here at Thiruneermalai!). When rAvaNan was so strong and

was having an unbeaten record, what our Emperumaan Sri Raman did: He

placed the huge mountains on the noisy deep ocean waves and built a

bridge across the vast sea to cross to LankA. He destroyed the beautiful

tall towers of lankA, that appeared as if they touch the cool moon even,

by showering arrows in the battle and shatter the whole area with His

thunderous twangs of the bow and array of arrows . He aimed the

BrahmAsthram and finished the life of rAvaNan and made the lustrous

shining ten crowns of rAvaNan fall onto the ground. Thus the Most

victorious Lord of AyOdhyA - the Dark cloud hued Lord- -Sarva Swami is

here at Thiruneermalai.

 

6. ""paaraar ulaghum panimaal varaiyum.. neermalaiyE" -SarvEshawaran

appeared as ParasurAman and killed victoriously Kaarthaveeryarjunan).

During the cosmic cycle (praLaya kaalam), Emperumaan had consumed and

retained in His stomach the huge mountains, the deep, vast oceans, the

massive universe, the Big Sun and the cool moon - and still He had much

more space and was not full!- That Most wonderful Swami- My Perumaan did

this: He became angry with the storng, cruel KaarthaveeryArjunan and

other kings and killed them during His ParasurAma munivar avathaaram. He

stands as the symbol of His Parathvam and as the declaration of the

final statement that He alone is the Chief of all; There is none equal

to Him even, why to talk of superior? Such Greatest Lord- NeervaNNan-

the Lord who is of the colour of blue waters- the Lord who has His Yoga

NithrA on the Oceans - Narayanan- is here standing at Neermalai,

lovingly for His devotees.

 

7. "pugaraar uruvaagi… neermalaiyE.."HiraNyan, who was of shining body

(due to his strength and royal connection), yelled, "Who is superior to

me? None!" and became angry with his son. The ferocious Huge beauty

roared from the pillar as Narasingha moorthy and finished hiraNyan's

life. He destroyed hiraNyan's so-called fame and popularity that had

existed. HiraNyan antagonised the Lord by shouting angrily at his son

Prahalada (when Prahalada the ardent devotee of Sriman Narayana, uttered

the Divine names of Narayanan) with great false ego and pride; hiraNyan

didn't surrender at the Lord's Feet. Such most ferocious PerumAL is here

at Thiruneermalai, sitting.

 

8. Picchacch chiRupeeli piditthu… neermalaiyE.."-SamaNar (Jains) walk

down the streets naked (for avoiding any possible contact with insects

and killing them) holding a small peacock feather in their hands

swinging softly at their bodies; brazen, shameless ones, who walk stark

naked like the ghost-like shameless women, who eat even the corpses!

(They are supposed to be following ahimsA! They don't even shave their

heads or cut their hairs; they pluck the hairs one by one, causing

tremendous himsA to the jIvan- and calling themselves as performing

ahimsA! ). Hence, hate such actions of these people. Go and offer most

fragrant flowers at the Lotus Feet of PerumAL, praying to Him "Please do

not let yama dhuuthAs dare come near us; Please show mercy on us" and

pay obeisance to Him devotedly and movingly. He WILL SHOW MERCY ON YOU.

This Most Compassionate Lord is here at Thiruneermalai.

 

9. "pEsuma navanRithuvammin namar…neermalaiyE" It is not at all

appropriate for us to talk of Emperumaan's Glory and Greatness. (We are

not qualified!). Oh my dear people of Srivaishnava kulam! ("namar") Come

to the front and talk so that those atheists can hear the greatness of

our PerumAL. Our Lord immediately alleviates the sorrows and destroys

the sins of all devotees who cling to Him. For those, who are caught in

the afflictions of five senses, and are stuck there immersing themselves

in the enjoyment of those sensual pleasures, Neermalai Lord is

inaccessible. This Thiruneermalai is so beautiful, full of fertility,

with bees humming on the most fragrant, honey dripping flowers.

 

10. "nedumaal avan mEviya neermalai mEl … mannavaraay adikoodiduvarE."-

These ten pAsurams are on the Sarvaadhikaaran- SarvEshwaran - Lord of

Thiruneermalai. The singer is the Chielf of Thirumangai nagar- the great

warrior like a huge male elephant, Kaliyan- Thirumangai AzhwAr. Those

who read these ten pAsurams, will have their sins run away IMMEDIATELY

FROM THEM; They will get the taste of heaven very easily; they will be

the rulers of this vast earth, and then be granted the eternal servitude

at the Lotus Feet of Sriman Narayanan.
