Guest guest Posted March 23, 1999 Report Share Posted March 23, 1999 Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, In Periya Thirumozhi 2.5, ThirumangaiAzhwAr proceeds to enjoy the greatness of Thirrukadanmallai Divya dEsam and advises us that He alone is the upaayam; and except for Him, all others will lead us astray and keep us deeply suffering in samsaaric afflictions. He alone is capable of remving and destroying our enemies. Pay obeisance to such Greatest Lord of Thirukkadanlmallai and be saved! This Thirukkadanmallai sthalam is none other than Mahabhalipuram. (40 miles from Madras and 7 miles from Thiruvidavendhai). Moolavar: Sthalasayana PerumAL. Sayana ThirukkOlam (in reclining posture). Facing East. The right hand is kept on His chest showing jnAna mudrA, saying "PigaiAzhwAr's jnAna thamizh purindha naan". Uthsvar: SthlasayanatthuRaivaar (Standing posture to save the world- ulaguyya ninRaan); Thaayaar: Nila mangai thaayaar; (Separate sannidhi); theertham: PuNdareeka PudhakariNi; Garuda Nadhi; Prathyaksham to PuNdareeka Maharishi. VishEsham of this sthalam: BhUthatthAzhwAr avataata sthalam. PuNdareeka Maharishi, once, desired to perform his archanai to KsheerAbhinAthan (may be mentally) and was gathering Lotus flowers. When he was proceeding towards east, there was this Ocean (Bay of Bengal) on the way. He, due to his extreme devotion) started emptying the ocean waters using his hands. The Lord, appeared as an old brahmin, in front of the Rishi and asked for food. When Rishi went back to bring food, Emperumaan lied down on the floor (as if He lies down on AdhisEshan at ThiruppaaRkadal) gracefully adoring the flowers brought by the rishi. At His Feet, stands PuNdareeka Maharishi. (This temple is supposed to have belonged to PiLLailOkAchArya) 1. The Lord- My Emperumaan- who had swallowed the vast universe and brought out later, who is so pleasing to the eyes like the Red Coral, who is like a pillar for us to hold Him firm and tight, who is so sweet like the nectar (amirdham), who reclines so beautifully on the Ocean where pearls and Sapphires are abundant, who is the Strongest one to have torn apart the Kesi asuran, who is my Master, who is like the Sugar cane to His devotees, who broke the tusk of kuvalayaapeetam elephant, who is like the Lion in a battle field, who crawled in front of two marudha trees, who has got the most Beautiful mot Divine ThirumEni (Body), who removed the sorrow of dark, beautiful GajEndran, who showed Himself (as the Primordial Chief to the world, in the process)- Such Greatest Lord- I have seen Him at Thirukadalmallai (or Kadanmallai). 2. Don't waste your time reading all your life and learning all those ramble from others who are lowly selves (and are NOT the devotees of Sriman Narayanan) thinking that those words are the ultimate truths and working as their servants. To get saved, come here. Pay obeisance to my Emperumaan to whom I pay my obeisance. He is worshipped as "the Father" by the likes of me (other Bhagawathas). He is worshipped and praised by learned ones. He is immeasurable. He is my Swami. He has got the Pearl like ThirumEni and is standing at ThiruninRavoor sthalam. He is the One who destroyed the KaaNdaavanam, with fire. I have seen Him at Thirukkadalmallai. 3. (Here AzhwAr brings Empermaan's Parathvam and His greatness to the attention of ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW OR REALISE THAT.) "udamburuvil moonRu enRaay moorthi vERaay ulaguyya ninRaanai …. " Sarveshwaran is the One who stands at the antharAthmA of Sivan and Brahma and in order to protect the world He became three (Trinity- VishNu, Sivan and Brahma) by Himself becoming VishNu and executing His will as the antharyaami of BrahmA and Sivan, while He is not bounded by them and their actions. He is the Most wonderful One to have sucked the life of Puthanai rAkshasi by sucking her poisonous breast milk. He is the One who took such a Sowlabhya avthaar of cowherd boy Kutti KaNNan for chasing the cattle and calves. He is SUCH A SOWABHYAN AND SO MERCIFUL to let the calves learn to drink water by His own enactment by entering into the ponds on the way and shows by His hands to drink water. (Ahaaaa… What an imagination! What a description by AzhwAr! Enna sowlabhyam!) He is the One who stands at the temple of Thanjavur (?) as the Only means for reaching Him. He is the One who (is going to ) wander on the Horse (as Kalki avataar) to save and protect the world. I have seen such Greatest lord at Thirukkadalmallai. 4. pEy thaayai mulai uNda piLLai thannai… The little infant boy who had expressed desire to suck the demonic Puthanai's breast milk. The mischievous warrior Lord, who had played with the tusks of dark huge elephant. The Lord who lived eating butter and curd from the darting deer eyed YasOdhA. The Lord who is sweetest nectar to Brahmins (His devotees) (If He is not sweet to Brahmins, then he is not a brahmin. I am not saying AzhwAr says." AndhaNartham amudhatthai..) The One who joined with the cowherd women folks; the One danced with the pot; the One who lifted the huge mountain to protect the cattle form their sorrows due to torrential downpour! My Swami- I have seen Him at Thirukadalmallai. 5. The Lord- who had kicked the wheel -sakataasuran and simply destroyed him, with His cute little Red Lotus Feet; the One enjoyed Himself lying down on the little Banyan leaf as small baby; the One who has got the huge large broad four strong shoulders like the mountains of lustrous pearls or emerald stones; the One who is Swami to all; who hugged the Beautiful shoulders of BhUmi piraaTTi; The One made the wrestlers (appointed by duryOdhanan to let KaNNan fall from the illusory seat (poyyasanam)) get finished off when He had gone to duryOdhanan's sabha (parliament) as a messenger for paaNdavaas. I have seen such Greatest Lord - my Swami at Thirukkadalmallai. (emmaanaik kaNdu koNdEn thalasayanatthE..") 6. The Lord, who is having his Yoga nithrA on AdhisEshan at ThiruppaaRkadal (Milky Ocean); Ramapiraan, who ran behind the lovely deer, that had beautiful golden spots on its body all over its body, which was so fondly sought and asked for by SitA PiraaTTi; KaNNa piraan, who plucked the tusk of strong elephant kuvalayaapeetam; Varaaha mUrthy, who had brought the Mother earth back on His horn; Thirivikraman whose Feet became just too Big for measuring the whole Universe and the vast Space; He grew so Big as Thirvikraman; I have seen such Greatest lord at Thirukkadalmallai. 7. The Lord who crushed the asurAs of rAvaNan (who were ignorant of SarvEshwaran's capabilities), with His strong shoulders (by His fighting in the battle); the Great warrior, who tore the chest of hiraNyan; the Garudavaahanan, who reclines on Adhiseshan at the wavy ThiruppARkadal; the One who sucked the poisonous breast milk of rAkshasi Puthanai as if it is the tastiest amudham (nectar); the One who stays in the heart willingly and lovingly of those who are pained at heart to hear such horror incident that has happened to our Kutti KaNNan! (pollaadha rAkshasi naasamaappOga; kuzhandhaiyai vandhu kolluvaaLO orutthi? Manasudhaan varumO?- then He is there to stay!) I- WHO HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR SUCH GREATEST EMPERUMAAN - have seen Him at Thirukkadalmallai. 8. (AzhwAr enjoys Bhagawaan's greatness and merciful nature to take even the form of that which does NOT suit His Purushathvam by taking Mohini avathaaram for the sake of His BhakthAs - Devas in this case) PerumAn- the One who took the Mohini avtaar as a lady to deceive the asurAs and prevent them from eating the amudham; Such deceitful Lord- is the One who grew so huge and ferocious as Narasinghan and appeared from the pillar with the shining crescent like white sharp teeth; the One who reclines at Thirumaayyam on the top of AnanthaaAzhwAn; the One who has got infinite unbounded limitless most auspicious attributes (kalyANa guNAs); the One who has long, dark, beautiful, darting, large, ruddy lined red Lotus like lovely eyes; (adadaaaa… I wish I had been villi daasar to enjoy those eyes of Sri Ranganatha as shown By YathirAjar) . I have seen Him to my complete satisfaction of my eyes - at Thirukkadalmallai. (kaNNaarak kaNdukoNdEn thalasyanatthE..) 9. This EmperumAn has got the lovely two Lotus Feet, most fit to be worshipped, praised and served by His devotees / servants. This Lord is the One who let the body of that strongest- unbeaten great King rAvaNan, (who did not think "Let me be saved by serving The Lotus Feet of Emperumaan who measured the whole Universe in His two steps, as Trivikraman") be eaten by animals and eagles; The Lord- who can be seen and realised by six a~ngas with AchArya upadEsam, by the four permanent Vedas and five yaghams is seen by this lowly self- His servant at Thirukkadalmallai. 10. These ten pAsurams of Kaliyan - Thirumangai AzhwAr with rhythm and set to tune, are on: SarvEshwaran- who sleeps on AnanthAzhwAn; who angered at, and caused the death of, asura chief hiraNyan; the little KaNNan, who crawled between the two marudha trees and made them fall down; the Beautiful Lord - Red Lotus Eyed Lord- Rajeeva lOchanan- Aravidha lOchanan- SenthaamaraikkaNNan- Lord of Thirukkadalmallai who sleeps on the earth. Those who read these ten pAsurams (and/or these meanings) will have ALL THEIR SORROWS AND KARMIC DISEASES removed down to the roots.
