(afflictions)of samsAris, who have sought refuge in You .AdiyEn

salutes the arch of Your feet ,which serve as the back of

the Madhra mountain to lift Your bhakthAs out of the ocean of

desires that tries to pull them away from you .

 

(10)Payer to Sri GuruvAyUrappan to banish his Taapams

******************************************************

 

Oh Lord of GuruvAyUr! Oh KrishNA ! Your sacred feet are

the most cherished among all Your limbs for the Yogis ;

they are the place of residence for the MukthAs ;they are

like the tender shoots of KalpakA tree for BhakthAs . May

Those Paadha Kamalm of Yours rest always in my heart and

through Your incomparable mercy permit me to delight in

the flood of their BrahmAnandha PravAham.

 

(11)AparAdha KshAmaNam request and granting of His anugraham

*************************************************************

 

Oh GuruvAyUrappa! Oh Lord of the Universe! Please forgive me

for any statements in my sthOthram (Sri NaarAyaNIam ) about You

that might have arisen about my ignorance about Your Mahimai.

You must bear with them . May this sthOthram containing more

than 1,000 Slokams about You grant for the readers and

the listeners alike sakala soubhAgyams.These slOkams

of mine about Your AvathArams that are deeply rooted in

the Vedhams have been named Sri NaarAyaNIyam ( This sthOthram

is about You , Sriman NaarAyaNan and has been composed by

me with the name of NaarAyaNan ). May all the bhakthAs of Yours,

who read or hear this sthuthi on You enjoy long life ,

good health and sukham arising from their meditation

about You .

 

EPILOGUE

*********

 

Sri GuruvAyurappan is said to have been moved by the appeal

for forgivance by His Bhakthan regarding any apachArams

during the composition of Sri NaarAyaNIyam. Sri GuruvAyUrappan

is said to have lifted up His Bhakthan , who was lying at

His feet and embraced him and told him that He will grant

the boons requested by him(Bhattadhiri) .It is well known that

the BhakthAs of Sri GuruvAyUrappan enjoy His blessings

in all aspects of their lives in this Kali Yugam .

The NaarAyaNa GhOsham rings in the air at GuruvAyUr

from the early morning hours and resonates wherever His

BhakthAs are . May He draw us closer and closer to Him

during our earthly sojourn !
