Periya Thirumozhi 2.6- Nenjil thozhuvaarai thozhuvaay en nenjE!

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr describes in 2.6: It is great to hold on to the

Bhagawathas who are deeply involved and immersed in their bhakti towards

Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. He declares that WE SHALL NOT EVEN THINK

OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT DEVOTED TO SRIYA:PATHIH.

 

1. naNNaadha vaaLavuNa ridaippukku* vaanavaraip/

peNNaagi amudhoottum perumaanaar* maruviniya/

thaNNaarnNdha kadanmallaith thalasayanaththu uRaivaarai/

eNNaadhE iruppaarai iRaippozhudhum eNNOmE.

 

"The Lord- who appeared as a Beautiful Mohini avataar, and gloriously

distributed the amudham (nectar) to Devas, deceived the asurAs who are

with their swords and who don't take refuge at the Lord and never

considered the Greatness of Emperumaan, with Her mOhini alankaram- is

here reclining at Thirukkadalmallai (Mahabhalipuram)- Thalasayana

perumAn. Those who do not think and meditate on this PerumAn, saying

"Alas! What a simplicity! How modest is this PerumAn! What a sowlabhyam!

How does He sleep on the floor!" and admiring His greatness- we shall

NEVER EVER THINK OF THEM".

 

2. paarvaNNa madama~ngai paninanmaa malarkkizhatthi*/

neervaNNan maarvagatthil irukkaiyai munninaindhavannUr/

kaarvaNNa mudhumunneer kadanmallaith thalasayanam/

aareNNum ne~njudaiyaar avar emmai aaLvaarE.

 

"BhUmi PiraaTTi, who has great abhimanam for the Earth (and us living

in), stays to the left of Emperumaan, who has got the blue hued colour

of the Ocean; Periya PiraaTTi- MahAlakshmi- the Pattamahishi- One born

of cool, beautiful red Lotus flower stays in the right Chest of

Emperumaan; Those who think of Them (Periya PiraaTTi and BhUmi PiraTTi)

and consider Their (the PiraaTTis') purushaakaaram, will be awe-struck

at Emperumaan's KaaruNyam- sowlabhyam of staying (on the floor) of

Thirukkadanmallai, hugged by the ocean- Those devotees are ONLY CAPABLE

OF BEING OUR MASTERS TO LET US SERVE THEM".

 

3. yEnatthin uruvaagi nilamangai yezhil koNdaan*/

vaanatthilavar muRaiyaal magizhndhEtthi valangoLLa/

kaanatthin kadanmallaith thalasayanath thuRaiginRa/

jnAnanatthin oLiyuruvai ninaivaar en naayagarE.

 

"Once, when the Mother Earth was in trouble, Varaaha PerumAN brought the

Earth back and enjoyed the beauty of BhUmni PiraaTTi; Even the celestial

bodies - Devas come and praise Him and perform their kaimkaryam at

Thirukkadal mallai- He is so blissfully and so gracefully showing

Himself there! Devotees- who think of the Divine Body of this

Thalasayana PerumAn, which is personification of lustrous jnAnam

(Knowledge) and immerse themselves in Him and His ThirumEni- are my

Masters.

 

4. viNdaarai venRaavi vilanguNNa* melliyalaar/

koNdaadum mallagala mazhalERa venjamatthuk/

kaNdaarai* kadanmallaith thalasayanaththu uRaivaarai/

koNdaadum nenjudaiyaar avar engaL kuladheyvamE.

 

"rAvaNan- who always won the battles against his enemies and let their

dead bodies be eaten by the eagles and wolves,- whose strong broad chest

was hugged lovingly by beautiful women- was won over by Emperumaan in

the battle filed and his body was let to be engulfed by the pyre- Such

Greatest Most strongest Lord seen in that battle- is reclining and is

having His Yoga nithrA at Thirukkadalmallai. Those who worship Him and

praise Him keeping Him in the caves of their hearts- Bhagawthas- are the

Kula deivams (Lords) for us.

5. picchach chiRu peelich chamaNkuNdar mudhalaayOr*/

vicchaik kiRaiyennu mavviRaiyaip paNiyaadhE/

kacchik kidandhavanoor kadalmallaith thalasayanam/

nacchith thozhuvaarai nacchenRan nannenjE!

 

"Oh ,my dearest mind that is always bent upon doing good only to me!

Please pay your obeisance to those Bhagwathas willingly and lovingly in

most endearing manner, who worship the Lord of Thiruve:gaa, who reclines

at Thirukkadalmallai and not to the one who was claimed to be the Lord

of all arts by those Jains (loitering around with the peacock feathers)"

 

6. pulankoL nidhikkuvaiyOdu puzhaikkaimaa kaLiRRinamum/

nalangoL navamaNikkuvaiyum sumandhengum naanRosindhu/

kalangaL iyangum mallaikadanmallaith thalasayanam/

valangoL manaththavarai valangoL en madanenjE!

 

"Oh my obedient mind! Please circumbulate (perform pradhakshiNam) those

Bhagawthas who devotedly with great bhakti, minds bent on circumbulating

the Divya Desam of Thirukkadalmallai, where there are heaps of Gold are

found; where there are lots of strong elephants are seen; where the

Navarathna~ngaL (nine gems) are quite common; (such rich, fertile place

it is!)

 

7. panjich chiRukoozhai uruvaagi* maruvaadha/

vanjappeN nanjuNda aNNal mun naNNaadha/

kanjaik kadandhavanUr kadanmallaith thalasayanam/

nenjil thozhuvaaraith thozhuvaay en thooy nenjE!

 

"Oh my purest mind! Please pay your obeisance to those Bhagawathas- who

think of Emperumaan of Thirukkadalmallai- Thalasayana PerumAn- and pay

their obeisance to Him, who, destroyed the evil minded Kamsan in front

of him; who is sweet Lord of all; who, as little darling boy Kutti

KaNNan, having the beautiful peacock feather on His lovely dark tresses,

- sucked the life along with the poisonous breast milk of the cunning

demon lady Puthanai." (The mind is addressed as pure because it is

willing to listen obediently to pay its obeisance to Bhagawathas, unlike

our minds!)

 

8. sezhuneer malarkkamalam thiraiyundhu vanpagattaal/

uzhuneer vayaluzhavaruzhap pinmun pizhaitthezhundha/

kazhuneer kadikamazhum kadanmallaith thalasayanam/

thozhuneer manatthaaraith thozhuvaay en thooy nenjE!

 

(What lovely Tamizh! Please read the transliteration for those who can

speak Tamizh! What a poet!) "The farmers whose duty was only to plough

and nothing else, and those farmers utilising the strong oxen plough the

fields, and while doing that, the muddy waters and the lotus flowers get

shifted hither and thither; such most fertile beautiful land is

Thirukkadalmallai. And those devotees who pay their obeisance to the

Lord of such most fragrant Thirukadalmallai- oh my purest mind! Please

pay your obeisance to them!

 

9. piNangaLidu kaadadhanuL nadamaadu pinjnaganOdu/

iNangu thiruchchakkaratthu emperumaanaarkkidam* visumbil/

kaNangaLiyangum mallaikkadanmallaith thalasayanam/

vaNangum manaththaar avarai vaNangu enRan madanenjE!

 

"Oh my obedient mind! My pure mind! Please pay your obeisance to those

Bhagawathas who worship and pay their obeisance to the Lord of

Thirukkadalmallai- where the Lord is worshipped even by Devas living in

the heaven -Thalasayana PerumAn- who is the Lord having ChakrA in His

Hand; my Lord- who, out of His own will, mercifully, has granted a place

in His Divine ThirumEni, for Sivan (the One who has the destruction as

the duty given to him; who dances in the graveyard where the corpses are

burnt).

 

10. kadikamazhum nedumaRugil kadanmallaith thalasayanatthu/

adigaLadiyE ninaiyum adiyavargaLtham adiyaan/

vadikoL neduvElvalavan kaliganRi yolivallaar/

mudikoL nedumannavartham mudhal mudhal aavaarE.

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr always think of the devotees who always mediate and

think of the Lotus Feet of Emperumaan- Thalasayanatthu Emperumaan- the

Lord of Thirukkadalmallai- which is well laid out with the most fragrant

roads (fragrance due to the trees with lots of flowers). He has sung

these ten pAsurams on these devotees and the reciters will become the

king of kings on this world.
