Periya Thirumozhi 3.10- "Hari! We Surrender to Your Feet!"

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Emperumaan, who removes the sorrows of His devotees and helps them, is

the only refuge for us. He, stays along with His Divine Consorts, at

Thirunaangoor arimEya viNNagaram Divya dEsam. Nithyars,

immeresed in His Anantha kalyANa guNAs, come in groups, to

this temple to pay Their obeisance. "oh mind! you also go there and

hold on to this SarvEshwaran and alleviate your grievances!" says

Thirumangai AzhwAr in 3.10 of Periya Thirumozhi!

 

1. Emperumaan, along with Periya PiraaTTi and

BhUmi PiraaTTi (on His both sides), resides here. He showers

His grace on His devotees, and lets their sins run away from them.

Here, people from all seven worlds pay their obeisance and so do

Nithyasooris.. This sthalam of Thirunaangoor arimEya viNNagaram

is one of the places where Brahmins live. .It is very beautiful with

cool, fertile fields and ponds, where the trees have grown so tall

to hide and cover even the sky. . oh mind! you do a favour for me. Go here

and pay obeisance to Him at this sthalam!

 

2. This Perumaan holds the strongest ChakrA so gracefully and

so charmingly, that had destroyed NarakAsuran. When Devas

offered their salutations and pleaded Him for their help, He used

the Manthara mountain for churning the ocean to get Nectar (amudham)

and distributed to Devas. He is the Most precious - most valuable "MaNi"

(Jewel); He is my Araa amudhan (insatiable nectar). Such Greatest

Emperumaan, stays here most willingly at this Thirunaangoor

arimEya viNNagaram, where beautiful (tEjasvis), rich (with jnAnam)

brahmins, who learn everyday Vedas, seven swaras, and get further

enrichment and live like the BrahmA. Oh mind! Hold onto

this Emperumaan of arimEya viNNagaram and offer your

salutations.

 

3. Devas, the residents of seven lokas, the seven oceans, were all

swallowed by Him; Such Greatest Lord is He. This Lord, (due to

His Greatest Sowlabhyam), appeared among cowherd folks, and

blessed them with great excitement, breaking the sharp tusks of

Kuavayaapeetam elephant and holding the locks of Kamsan to

destroy Him. Where doe He live? Thirunaangoor arimEya

viNNagaram, where sharp spear like, darting eyed beauitful

girls drink the honey that drips from the jack fruits which show

the white pearls and yellowish golden inner portions. oh mind!

pay your obeisance to this Emperumaan!

 

4. The Most Strongest, unparalleled Lord- the One who had

appeared as Narasinghan for saving Prahalada, held

the strong hiraNyan, and tore his chest with His sharp

bent, nails and blessed Prahalada. Such Most Merciful Lord

is here at Thirunaangoor ArimEya viNNagaram, where Jasmine,

senkazhuneer, beautiful Serunthi, sheNbhagam flowers bloom

in lovely gardens, inside which the sugar canes are boiled, the smoke

arsising out of which spreads everywhere; oh my dear mind!

go reach this place and pay obeisance to Him!

 

5. Enchanting the hearts of everyone who saw the little brahmin

boy (Vaamanan) who appeared in the yaagha salai of mahAbhali.

He took a small innocent boyish form and begged bhali for

three measures of earth. He TOOK the H... U.... G....E... form

("kaaNmeengaL ulagattheerE enRu kaNmugappE nimirndha.")

as Thrivikraman and measured (within a fraction of seconds?)

the seven worlds, the seas, the Universe, everything.. Such

Most Greatest Lord is here at this sthalam of arimEya viNNagaram,

where, next to the dense gardens, the reverberating divine mangaLa

vaadhyams, the humming of bees after drinking honey from most

fragrant flowers, the recitation of rare Vedic hymns, the rhythmic

sound from anklets of women folks, the oceanic waves that raise so high to

reach the edge of the Universe even- such beautiful place is

Thirunaangoor arimEya viNNagaram. Oh mind! Hold onto the

Emperumaan of this Divya dEsam and offer your salutations!

 

6. In order to bring back the spear like sharp long, dark, darting

beautiful eyed, the most fragrant flower bedecked haired SitA

PiraaTTi, Chakravarthi Thirumagan, Sri Rama most gloriously

fought with the king of lankA, rAvaNan and bent His strong

bow to let rAvaNA's ten heads and twenty hands fall down..

This Greatest Lord is the chief of Nithyasooris; He is unparalleled,

unmatched Lord. He, willingly stays at this sthalam of Thirunaangoor

arimEya viNNagaram, where the beautiful young women folks (with

long sharp sword like eyes), when harvesting cut the paddy fields,

along with the lotus flowers plants, and during the process, they collect

the pearls (rice grains) that drop off from such fields (what a poetic

beauty!) Oh my mind! Pay obeisance to Emperumaan of this sthalam!

 

7. (in the next three pAsurams, AzhwArs enjoy KaNNan!)

The cunning, cruel Kamsan sent dhEnukan (asuran came

as a calf), Poothanai (the raakshasi), who were all effortlessly

finsihed off by Kutti KaNNan, the Lord who gave Manmathan

(cupid); the Lord, who is of dark hued Divine Body. This most

Greatest Lord, is residing here at Thirunaangoor arimEya

viNNagaram, where the waves when reaching the banks, gather

pearls at the respective banks; where brahmins, (who have the

mind that is most suited for Bhagavath Vishayam, by uttering the

manthras on Emperumaan with their mind and tongue, learning

four Vedas, five Yaaghams, and six parts (a~ngas of Vedas), and all

other saasthra) reside. oh mind! reach this greatest place and pay

obeisance to Emperumaan!

 

8. This Young lad, Emperumaan KaNNan, is the One who threw and hit

the dhEnukaasuran (who had appeared as a calf to kill Kutti KaNNan)

against the viLaampazha tree, and killed him (in turn used the asurA

to let the fruits fall from the tree so that His cowherd friends can enjoy

eating them.. ("kanRinai vaalOlai katti kanigaL uthira yeRindhu..") This

Lord KaNNan, took the Beautiful Cowherd boy from, in order to let everyone

enjoy His Divine Beautiful Divya mangaLa ThirumEni which of dark hued cloud

like colour; This Lord is the One who lifted effortlessly the massive huge

mountain of Govardhanam for protecting the cattle and calves from the heavy

downpour, the One who danced with the pot.

He out of His own, willingly, stays at this sthalam of Thirunaangoor

arimEya viNNagaram, where there are tall buildings / ramparts (on the top of

which there are flags hoisted), towers (gOpurams), Yaaghasalais, etc.. and

where brahmins gather in hroups and recite due to which there are always

great (divine) sound, the humming of bees that drink the honey from flowers

inside the dense gardens, - such Greatest sthalsm is this.

Oh mind! Hold on to Emperumaan of this sthalam and offer your salutaions!

 

9. The Lord, Kutti KaNNan, who had drunk the life of Poothanai

(who had come to get Him); who had eaten curd, butter (by stealing);

who had destroyed Kamsan; who had eaten the whole world (during

PraLayam and later showed in His "kutti" mouththe Universe to

YasOdha); - this Lord stays as His Best place to reside in this sthalam of

Thirunaangoor arimEya viNNagaram, where the Vedic brahmins pay their

"anjali" and pray to Him " Hari! Only Your Lotus Feet alone are our refuge!

We surrender to Your Lotus Feet!", where the sandal, golden particles are

collected at the banks of Cauveri due to waves hugging the shores; where

fields have grown very tall touching even the clouds, and are full of pearls

in them- such most Beautiful place is this sthalam- oh mind! Hold on to Him

in this sthalam and pay obeisance!

 

10. The Lord who had fought and killed the seven big strong bulls

for the sake of Nappinnai PiraaTTi, and hugged the shoulders of

Her, is staying at this Divya Desam of Thirunaangoor arimEya

viNNagaram. Thsoe who come here are the likes of Brahma and

Sivan et al. This Thirumozhi (of ten pAsurams) on this Lord

of this Divya Desam wascomposed by Kaliyan of Thirumangai,

having the long sharp spear in his hand. Those who read (or recite)

this ten will be the greatest of great men this world, reach

Sri Vaikutam and be praised there too by everyone there! (mukthars,

nithyars and Divya Damapthi)
