Periya Thirumozhi 3.2- Sevvaay kiLi naan maRai paadum Chithrakoodam

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

In order to attain the Lotus Feet of Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman

Narayanan, one needs to get rid of the bondage with this Prakritha

SarIram (the Body, which causes as a hurdle – as an enemy to our

endeavours. For getting rid of these karmic diseases and this

sarIram, we need not do anything like performing severe penance,

causing excruciating pain to one’s body. He- the Lord, without anyone’s

asking, protected the worlds and the beings during cosmic cycle end. He is

such Parama kaaruNikO Bhagawaan. He took so many avtaars, and lived with

people to save them. Such a Sowlabhyan is He. And to top them all, He

resides in His Purest Form, in all Divya Desams, and here in this Thillai

Chitthrakoodam. Just reach this sthalam and all your enemies (within and

outside) will vanish. This is ThirumangaiAzhwAr’s advice to us in 3.2.

 

1. Oh People, who are qualified to rule the Paramapadham, where Nithyars

live! Don’t perform penance with terrible sufferings, drying and thinning

down the flesh, without eating anything, consuming only water and air and

torturing the five sense organs, and you also get tortured thereby. The

peacocks dance spreading their colourful beautiful feathers, bees humming

just above the charming water surface in the ponds, the flags of tall

buildings

gently twist due to the breeze, = Such a beautiful scenery exists at Thillai

Chithrakkodam! Reach there.

 

2. Oh folks, who wish to have Emperumaan (the One who hugs PiraaTTi and has

Her in His Chest) in your heart! Don’t trouble yourself performing severe

penance standing in the middle of fire for ages, eating only dried fruits

and raw vegetables, consuming only air and water! Due to the presence of

agnihOthris – Sri Vaishnavas- the Vedic scholars fire (agni) at Thillai

Chithrakkodam keeps growing /glowing everyday! Reach that holy place!

 

3. Oh Bhagawaths, who are interested and yearning to reach those two Lotus

Feet of Emperumaan, (who had appeared as Varaaha moorthy, the unparalleled-

the one living in the forest, with terrific ferocity, brought back, the most

fertile Earth from the troubled waters.. )! Reach the Divine place Thillai

Chithrakoodam,

where the Pallava king along with his entire parivaar (army), surrendered to

the Lord and paid his obeisance, where it is full of tall ramparts and

buildings built up of golden stones and emerald gems)

 

4. Oh Guys who think of getting rid of the samsaaric ills and the never

ending birth cycles!

Those who utter the Divine name of the Most wonderful Lord who had

effortlessly measured the whole Universe by coming in a small Brahmin Boy

Vaamanan and taking the huge form in the yaagham conucted by Bhali (when

Indran had lost his kingodm to Bhali)! On the dark big, vast Ocean, the twin

split tongued snake AdhsEshan- AnathAzhwAn is the Bed for this Lord

Emperumaan Sriya: Pathih Sriman Narayanan, who is always with Periya

PiraaTTi at Thillai

Chithra Koodam. Reach that place!

 

5. (After Varaaha, Vaamana avathaaram, AzhwAr goes on to enjoy Parasurama

avtaar!). For the destruction of Kshathriyas and saving the earth surrounded

by oceans, He took the axe and took ParasurAma avataar and emerged

victoriously! That ParasumrAma muni, if you wish to have Him as your own and

for your redemption, please proceed to Thillai Chithra Koodam, the most

beautiful, and the most fertile place( where Periya PiraaTTi stays in his

Chest and BhUmi PiraaTTi seated on His left, and the lady of fame (Keerthi)

is found everywhere!)

 

6. Those who wish and desire to live, yearning for having the Lord

in your heart at all times and always think of Him- who, by

just simply sending an arrow, which is as lustrous and bright

like a flame tip, towards the Ocean, tamed the sea built a bridge

of rocks across Sea, the most adorable Lord- the Personification

of Dark Beauty-the One who adorns Himself with the Most

brightest Beautiful Ornaments! Small girls at Thillai Chithrakoodam,

by hearing their fathers (Srivaishnavas) reciting Vedas, also start

uttering those Vedic hymns and their pet parrots too listening

to these girls’ recitations, start singing those hymns! What a

place! Reach that place!

 

7. Oh Dear! Those who long to have in your heart for ever the Lord-

Emperumaan- Sriya: Pathi, who is always with Periya PiraaTTi-

(the One who was given birth by the Ocean of swirls and swift

currents)- who joined the most fragrant flower adorned

Nappinaai PiraaTTi! Reach this Beautiful sthalam of Thillai

Chithrakoodam where the river waters bring with them the

broken ivory tusks of dead elephants (on the way) and the logs of

sandal tree branches.

 

8. Oh Those,having always the thoughts of attaining only the Lotus Feet of

Emperumaan the Lord Sriya: Pathi- who once took the whole

Universe in His stomach and brought it out after the Cosmic cycle end,

thereby saving and protecting the same- who took care of the cattle- the

Lord of Aayars (cowherd men) –who effortlessly lifted the huge

Govardhana mountain for saving the cattle from the torrential rains

executed by Indran- who without even thinking of the tremendous

risk involved in attacking the Kesi asuran, simply tore the mouth and

the body of Kesi! Reach the most holiest place of Thillai Chithra

koodam, where the Sarveshwaran- the most beautiful Divine form

the most Brightest lustrous Lord- is worshipped by thousands (three?)

of Brahmins daily by their very nature (swaroopam).

 

9. Oh Bhagwathas, who wish to reside permanently at Paramapadham,

(the most inaccessible place even for souls like Brahma, et al), and

to get rid of all accrued enormous karmas (paapams), that are accumulated

over the ages and the carnal desires that stay at heart, which keep growing

always, with desires of sensual pleasures from beautiful women (of darting,

dark, blue cool eyes), and getting angered when not successful to get such

“sensual” pleasures! Reach the beautiful Holy Thillai Chithra koodam, where

the most fragrant blue flowers bloom everywhere and the lovely fishes jump

in the fields with joy!

 

10. This ten is about the most Divine- most beautiful ruddy lined

Lotus eyed Lord who resides at Thillai Chithrakoodam, which

is surrounded by fertile lovely gardens. This has been composed

with a view to getting more and more intense Anandham and bliss

of enjoying Him. ThirumangaiAzhwAr, Kaliyan, whose very nature

is to be merciful to others on this earth, like the dark clouds, composed

this ten. Those who read them, WILL LIVE FOREVER SERVING

THE LOTUS FEET OF THE LORD WHO HAD MEASURED

THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS.
