Periya Thirumozhi 3.4- BrahmA's age is equal to one hair of Romasarishi..

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

AzhwAr declares in this ten (3.4) that if one goes to

SeeraamaviNNagaram Divya dEsam, and holds onto the

Lord there, all fruits will come to him.

 

This SreeraamaviNNagaram is present day Seergaazhi.

There is a railway station and it is just ½ km from the

station.

Moolavar: Thrivikraman, UlagaLandha Thiruvuruvam

Uthsavar: Thrivikrama Narayanan

Thaayaar: Moolavar: Lokanayaki;

Thaayaar: Uthsavar: Mattavizh kuzhali (What a sweet name!)

 

VishEsham: PerumAL lifts His leg for measuring the

Universe. In this sthalam only, ThirumangaiAzhwAr won

in an argument with ThirugnAnasambhandhar (one of 63

naayanmaars), and received the victorious spear from him.

He also sang “kadiyuNda neduvaaLai” poem; The

Virudhu (title) “Naalu kavi perumAL” was conferred on AzhwAr.

 

When Brahma was proud of his long age, Romasamuni

said “Your age and my rOmam (hair) is equal” and humbled

Brahma in this sthalam.

 

Prathayaksham to AshtakONa maharishi. (why that name?)

 

Having enjoyed the greatness of the sthalam, let us now

enjoy AzhwAr’s pAsurams.

 

1. (This pAsuram refers to one two three.. till seven very

beautifully by AzhwAr). By taking an unparalleled Vaamana

avtaar, He measured the whole Universe in His two steps,

when he begged for three measures of earth from Mahabali,

and held him captive in PaathALa lOkam- Those who wish

to hug the Lotus feet of such Greatest His! Please reach the

sthlam SeeRaama viNNagaram, where there are always festivities

in the streets with the greatest (equal to the greatness of

Emperumaan) four Vedas, five yaaghams, and six Veda

a~nghams, (like vyAkaraNam, etc..), seven swarams… and hold

onto Him! Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

2. In order to humble Brahma and reduce his pride of having long

age, the Lord executed His will through Romasa Rishi, the one well

versed with Vedas and saasthrAs, AchAra seelar. The Lord also

removed the sorrow of Sivan, who goes begging with the skull bone.

He is my Swami. Those who wish to join the Lotus Feet of my

Emperumaan! Please proceed to SeeraamaviNNagara, where

one sees everywhere, the honey flooded Lotus flowers in beautiful

ponds, the huge bulls run with tremendous strengths, and the pearls

are mistaken by the big Kurugu birds that they are their eggs. Such

a beautiful fertile land is this Divya Desam. (our four yugas is equal

to one day of Brahma; He lives for his 100 years- When that happens,

i.e. his 100 years get over, one hair from Romasa rishi’s body falls-

it is told) Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

3. The peerless, limitless greatest huge Varaaha moorthy saved

the Earth by bringing it back on His horn from the deep troubled

waters during MahA PraLayam, and the unbounded, most

wonderful Lord who cut the shoulders of VaaNan, with His

ChakrAyudham- Those who wish to hold onto His Feet! Please

proceed to Seeraama viNNagaram, where the beautiful girls,

(when entering into the fertile fields for removing other plants

(“kaLai”), )mistake the “kuvaLai” flowers in the fields for their

eyes and the “Kumudham” flowers as their mouths come out without

actually doing so.. Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

4. For the sake of soft cotton like tender footed Nappinnai PiraaTTi,

Emperumaan valorously fought with seven bulls and killed them;

This Lord, using His sharp nails, simply tore the strong chest of

HiraNyan- Those who wish to hug the lotus feet of such greatest

Lord! Please proceed to SeeraamaviNNagaram, the beauty of which

is when the twilight sets in and the darkness engulfs everywhere,

the pearls glitter lustrously and sheds light; the Corals emit the

brightest rays like that of the Sun… Such greatest place is

SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

5. This Emperumaan offered the enemy kings and their entire

kulam as an offering to His ancestors during His ParaurAma

avtaar- This Lord simply tore the mouth of Kesi asurA horse

and finished him; Those who are desirous of prostrating at the

Lotus Feet of such Greatest Emperumaan! Please proceed to

Seeraama viNNagaram, which is surrounded by most beautiful

fields, where young girls work whose mouths show the red lily

flowers, whose large sparkling eyes show the “kuvaLai” flowers

and whose faces show us the lotus flowers. Such greatest place

is SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

6. Lord Rama- who finished the life of angry red eyed, strong Vaali; who

killed Viraadhan, (who was always victorious, strong and had long

hands with strong weapons, who had cruel looking demonic eyes).

Those who long to join the Lotus feet of Rama! Please proceed to

SeeraamaviNNagaram, where the women sit on the top story of

huge tall buildings; whose narrow waist resemble that of “udukkai”

(in English….?) that makes inviting sound friendly; whose beautiful

bright faces make the moon cry with shame for having lost to them

with regard to the beauty… Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram

 

7. The strongest rAvaNan’s ten heads were simply thrown to the dust

like the bushes cut and thrown on the ground, due to the most valorous

Rama’s Hand that had the bow; Those who wish to be saved by

joining His Lotus Feet! Proceed to SeeraamaviNNagarm, where one can

see everywhere the pearls, and conches on the streets, that were brought in

by the floods and entering onto the fields, storm water canals and thus into

the streets…Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram.

 

8. With the long shoulders like bamboos, the large darting eyes like that of

a beautiful deer, the words so sweet like the milk, SathyabhAmA PiraaTTi,

the one who has honey flooded dark long tresses- and for the sake of Her,

Emperumaan KaNNan brought the Paarijaatha tree from the gardens of Devas.

Those who wish to join the lotus feet of such greatest Lord KaNNan!

All that you need to do is to proceed to SeeraamaviNNagaram, - where

due to squirrels jumping from tree to tree, the betel nuts fall down on the

ground. Due to the fertility, the jack fruits become so big and hang down on

the ground with their heavy weight. When they hit against each other, the

fruits break and the juices (honey) drip from them… (adadaaa! What a Poet!)

Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram.

 

9. Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan is the One who keeps

who keeps Sivan in the right of His ThirumEni (Divine Body); the One

who created BrahmA from his navel, and let him reside there; One who

blissfully enjoys having Periya PiraaTTi (whose large dark beautiful eyes

are like that of a blood stained sharp spear), residing in His Chest. Those

who wish to join such Greatest Emperumaan’s Lotus feet! Please proceed to

SeeraamaviNNagaram, where the beautiful bees hum and fly from flowers to

flowers, join their mates, and drink honey from flowers.

They get tired and relax in those lotus flowers blooming in the ponds..

They roll down merrily inside the lotus flowers’ petals, and due to

great ecstasy sing happily.. Such greatest place is SeeraamaviNNagaram.

 

10. This Thirumozhi is about Emperumaan of SeeraamaviNNagaram, where

people (of great calibre like that of Brahma) reside. The composer /

singer of this ten is the Chief of Thiruvaali; One who showers his grace on

those who turn to him; One who tames those who have false pride; Lion

towards his enemies; Master of Thirumangai; Yama to opponents; Holds the

victorious spear; These ten of his is the quite enjoyable;Those who recite

with meanings will live to be praised by one and all in this vast world.
