Periya Thirumozhi 4.3- adiyEn kaNdu koNdu allal theerndhEnE..

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

SarvEshwaran- BhOgya bhOgOpakaraNa bhOgasthaanuroopan avan..

He is the jnAna, Anandha roopan. He, only for showering His grace

on His devotees, shows Himself along with His Divine Consorts, at

SemponseykOil AzhwAr enjoys his seeing this Lord at this sthalam and

is excited that he is blessed to have had His darshan here.

 

SemponseykOil: 5 km from Seergazhi, in Thirunaangoor.

 

Moolavar: PeraruLaaLan, ninRa ThirukkOlam (Standing posture, facing east)

Uthsavar: Semponnarangar. (Hemarangar)

Thaayaar: Alli maamalar Naachhiyaar;

 

Prathyaksham to Rudhran.

 

(After rAvaNa vadham, Sri Rama stayed at DhrudanEthramuni’s Ashramam,

and as per his advcie, offered a cow (made of Gold) to a brahmin (for

crossing the ocean? Or for killing rAvaNan?) and that Brahmin built this

temple using the cow (made of Gold); hence it is called Sem pon sey kOil,

(the temple made of reddish Gold). Sivan, for his Brahmahartthi dhOsham,

performed asvamEdha yaagham and

during PoorNaahudhi, SarvEsharan, along with His PiraaTTis, showed Himself

to Sivan and as per his prayers, the Lord stays in eleven forms permanently

for the sake of us.. Due to this, on the next night after Amavasya (New

moon) in Thai maasam, all eleven Divya Desam PerumALs (on 11 Garudas), show

Themselves together. IT IS DIVINE FEAST TO THE EYES.. All 11 Divya Desams of

Thirunaangoor, were (it appears) made for Rudhran’s prayers. Once, a brahmin

boy by name Mukundan, son of Kaashyapan, came here due to his father’s

(and his family’s) tremendous poverty , and did Ashtaakshara japam for

32,000 times to be blessed by PerumAL with lots of wealth..)

 

1. “kaaraNi mEgam ninRadhu oppaanaik kaNdu koNdu uyndhozhindhEn”

People all over the world come on groups and gather here to pay their

obeisance; such Greatest Lord is most merciful and showers His grace

here; He is like the dark rainy clouds (showering everywhere); My

dear Swami; The One who has Periya PiraaTTi and BhUmi PiraaTTi

on His sides; At this sthalam of SemponseykOil, in the middle

of Thirunaangoor, I have been blessed to have the darshan of this

greatest Emperumaan and been saved…

 

2. (Here AzhwAr is ecstatic about the Lord’s Most wonderful nature)

“piRappodu moopponRillavan; maRaip perum poruL; vaanavar kOn;

...kaNdu naan vaazhndhozhindhEnE..”( adadaaaa.. enna azhaghu)

This Emperumaan has got no births; deaths; He is the Ocean of

ParipoorNa absolute bliss that never changes at any time;

He lives at all times- be it past, present and future; He is the

Swettest like that of the essence of seven swaras; He is praised

Great by the Vedas; He is the Chief of Nithyasooris; -I have been

blessed to have seen Him at this sthalam of SemponseykOil in the

Midst of Thirunnangoor and have made my living...

3. (He exists everywhere; antharbahithschathassarvam vyaapya

naaraayaNasthithah:)

:kadal niRa vaNNanRannai naan adiyEn kaNdukoNdu uyndhozhindhEnE”

The solid space, the fire, water, the moon, the sun, the beings on this

earth, the non beings that spread everywhere, - in all of these, He exists

as the antharyaami (the indweller); the blue ocean coloured Lord; - Sarva

swamin; my Swami; (akila jagadh Swamin; asmin Swamin) – I am blessed to

have seen such Greatest SarvEshwaran at this sthalam of SemponseykOil, where

Brahmins, in the likes of Brahma live.

 

4. “vasaiaRu kuRaLaay maavali vELviyil maNNaLavittavanRannai

... uyarmaNi magudam choodi ninRaanaik kaNdu koNdu

uyndhozhindhEnE..” Without showing any fault in His form, He appeared as a

small dwarf like boy, Vaamanan and measured the universe during the yaagham

of Bhali’s; the Lord, who reclines on ThiruppaRkadal, and

is praised and prostrated at His Lotus feet by the unwavering

and unflickering minded Nithyasooris; the Lord, who has the most

lustrous shining Crown (full of emerald);- I am blessed to have

seen Him and been saved at this sthalam of SemponseykOil, where people

like Brahma live.

 

5. “kaamanai payanRaanthannai naan adiyEn kaNdu koNdu

uyndhozhindhEnE..” Chakravartthi Thirumagan, Sri Raman,

the One who showers His grace most mercifully with motherly

affection, to those who come to Him, with no other refuge or

alternative, praising “Oh Lord, the One who destroyed the

cruel, fire-like minded asurAs!”. – Such Most compassionate

Lord, stays here at this sthalam which is full of honey dripping

flowers and gardens. I am blessed to have seen Him and been saved

at this sthalam of SemponseykOil.

 

6. (AzhwAr continues to enjoy Sri Rama..) “alli malaraaL thannodu

adiyEn kaNdu koNdu allal theerndhEnE..” Sri Raman built

the bridge across the vast deep ocean, using huge mountain

rocks.. ; Then He aimed the unparalleled, unmatched arrows at

lankA, that is surrounded by tall ramparts on top of the huge

mountains, sending shivers and chills through the spines of

rAkshasaas there. – I am blessed to have seen such Greatest

Emperumaan along with His Divine Consort Periya PiraaTTi,

seated on Lotus flower and been saved of my grievances and sins/sorrows at

this sthalam of SemponseykOil, where Brahmins who know all four Vedas, and

are of great(spiritual) wealth reside.

 

7. “anjank kuNram ninRadhu oppaanaik kaNdu koNdu

allal theernahdEnE..” The angry Kuvalayaapeetam

elephant, the bow (that was aimed to kill Him) and the

wrestlers (ChaNooran, Mushtikan), were all simply destroyed

by Emperumaan KaNNan; the Lord, who angered on Kamsan

and finished him off, the Most Youthful Lord, the blue cloud

coloured Lord, the One who stands firm and solid like the

anjana mountain, - I am blessed to have seen Him and been

saved at this sthalam of SemponseykOil, where sweet (hitha

bhaashis) soft spoken people reside.

 

8. Emperumaan, who had cut the 1000 shoulders of VaaNan,

with His ChakrAyudham, who stands on the mountain of Thirumala,

who is praised and is the essence of all Vedas, like the lamp

shedding light everywhere, who stands firm and solid, where His

devotees enjoy seeing His Divine Beauty and where He continues

to stay at all times for them; - Such most glorious SarvEshwaran,

I am blessed to have seen Him at this sthlam of SemponseykOil

and been saved..

 

9. “kaLankanivaNNA! KaNNanE! enRan kaarmugilE! yena

ninaindhittu/ uLankanindhirukkum adiyavar thangaL

uLLatthu ooRiya thEnai/ ..vaLankoL pErinbham manni

ninRaanai vaNaghi naan vaazhtthozhindhEnE..”

“Oh Lord! The One who looks like the “KaLaappazham”.!

KaNNaa! To my eyes’ greatest satisfaction, You show Yourself

in dark cloud hued colour!”- like that, devotees enjoy addressing

Him to their hearts’ content- He stays in the hearts of such great

Bhagawathas and also stays at this sthalam of SemponseykOil

in the same manner (for their satisfaction), where Vedic scholars

and learned ones stay.. I am blessed to have seen Him at this

sthalam and paid my obeisance to Him.

 

10. This ten is about the Lord of SemponseykOil, lying in the midst

of Thirunaangoor and is sung by Thirumangaimannan, about his

having seen Him and been saved. Those who read these ten,

will become great kings and bring the whole earth under one

umbrella (Srivaishnava umbrella?) and then become like

Nithyasooris.
