[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Brahma and other Devas were all created by Him, their sorrows and grievances

were all removed by Him;- Such Greatest SarvEshwaran Sriya: Pathih Sriman

Narayanan resides at Thirunaangoor ThiruvaNpurud(sh)Otthamam. AzhwArs

explains beautifully about the greatness of this Divya Desam.

 

1. The Lord who had built a bridge across the vast ocean and aimed

just one arrow to cut the heads of rAvaNan, the chief of Lanka, and

let VibhIshaNan ascend the throne. Such Greatest Chakravartthi

Thirumagan resides at this sthalam of Thirunaangoor Thiru-

VaNpurudOtthamam. His most beautiful place is full of densely

Grown jack fruit trees, seNbhaga trees, mango trees and the most

fragrant flowery gardens everywhere.

 

2. This Lord of ThiruvaNpurudOttham is the One who danced on the most

poisonous snake KaaLingan, by jumping on its heads from the branch

of kadambha tree… He tamed the snake and danced on it.. Such

Greatest Lord resides here. He is the Chief of Devas. This place is full of

Vedic scholars, Brahmins who groom fire (agni) for Nithya karmas performing

agnihOthram; who have learnt four Vedas; five Yaaghams and Six Veda a~ngas.

 

3. The small cowherd Boy KaNNan, who ate the food that was meant

to be offered for Indran, due to which angry Indran had sent torrential

rains on them; KaNNan lifted with great ease, the huge Govardhana mountain

and saved the cattle from the heavy downpour. Such

most wonderful Lord resides at ThiruvaNpurudOttham, in which

peacocks dance gracefully and bees sing mellifluously.

 

4. KaNNan, who had broken the ivory tusk of Kuvalayaapeetam elephant,

Killed its mahout, entered the palace gate and destroyed the

warriors (chaaNooran and mushtikan), and kicked Kamsan. Such

most strongest Lord- SarvEshwaran resides here at this sthalam of

ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam, in which, red paddy fields have grown

in the middle of sugar cane plants.

 

5. This Lord, who had cut the thousand shoulders of VaaNaasuran

and chased away Sivan et al who had come to support VaaNan;

who had kicked the asurA who appeared as a wheel (sakatAsuran);

resides at this sthalam of Thirunaangoor ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam,

which is surrouded by tall buidlings that even hide the rays

of Sun and the flags that are tied at the top of these buildings touch

even the sky.

 

6. The Lord, who had grown H….U….G…E to measure the whole Universe

with His Lotus Feet (when He begged for three measures of earth from

bhali), and when He took Trivikrama avathaar, Brahma praised Him and

offered his obeisance, washed His Lotus Feet with waters that became

Ganges waters; Such Greatest Lord, KaNNan has come for the sake of His

Bhakthas (us), the Lord of Great Sowlabhyam, to this sthalam of Thiru

Naangoor ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam, where the buds of kO~nghu tree

flowers are like the tender breasts of the beautiful women folks of this

sthalam; the red Ambhal flowers are like the coral red lips and the red

lotuses, like the beautiful faces of theirs. Such lovely place with flowers,

gardens and people is this sthalam.

 

7. The most ferocious angry Lord Narasinghan, who had torn the chest of most

strongest hiraNyan, and stirred the blood of his; the Lord who had ripped

open the Kesi asurA (horse) and killed him; - such Most Greatest Lord

resides at this sthalam of ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam, in which, when young

beautiful women play, their bangles and the toe anklets make jingling

sounds.

 

8. This Lord is the One who had removed the sorrow (sin) of Sivan,

(who has the beautiful long, large eyed Parvathy as a part of his

body) when his hand was stuck with the skull of Brahma and was

wandering begging with that skull. Such Most merciful SarvEshawaran,

“Parama kaaruNikO Bhagawaan”, resides at this sthalam of Thiru-

vaNpurudOtthamam, where the beautiful fishes that live in the ponds,

get scared when the nearby coconut tree drops the coconut in the

midst of densely grown tall kamugu trees and jump into the next pond.

(What a narration by AzhwAr, describing all at one stroke..)

 

9. The Lord, SarvEshwaran created Brahma, (the one who created

The red haired Sivan, who has crescent moon on his head). How?

He created Brahma from the Lotus that emerged from His Lotus Navel.

Such Most wonderful Lord- the Primordial Chief- stays at this sthalam

of ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam, in which the lady monkey (that hugs the

infant monkey tightly to its belly) sits on banana trees, eats the bananas

plucked from the trees and sleeps on the branches of mango trees.

 

10. ThirumangaiAzhwAr, the king of Thiruvaali surrendered to the

Lotus Feet of Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan, who

resides at this sthalam of ThiruvaNpurudOttham, where world

renowned Vedic scholars, brahmins reside. He sang these ten

verses on this Emperumaan of ThiruvaNpurudOtthamam

and those who recite (or read) them will enjoy unbounded

limitless Anandham on this earth and then join Nithyars.
