Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, AzhwAr in the last ten mentioned about the greatness of Emperumaan of ThirunaRaiyoor, who removes the enemies (virOdhis) of ours. He addresses his mind, who laments that it does not have the Prema bhakthi for Him, saying “this Emperumaan is so merciful and most compassionate that He blessed even the Chozha king who had been having ahankara, mamakarams and had been worshipping “anya devathas”. The king ultimately became a devotee of this Emperumaan. (after building seventy temples for Sivan, he reached ThirunaRaiyoor, to get what he wished for. Read pAsuram no.8) 1. The vast space, (skies), the huge earth, the oceans, the mountains, were all eaten (swallowed) through the neck of Emperumaan, who reclined on a little Banyan leaf as an infant. Oh Devotees, who long to be blessed to be at His Lotus Feet! Go and stay at ThirunaRaiyoor! The greatness is: The Chozha king, (who has got red eyes, like that of beautiful black bees drinking honey from shenbhaga flowers and stands on the magizha flowers) stays here and is full of buildings that are impregnated with jewel stones. 2. Oh devotees, longing to enjoy at the Lotus feet of Emperumaan, who ran as huge fat, Varaaham jumping above the Universe and brought back the Earth from troubled waters; SarvEshawaran, who is my Swami! Please go and stay at ThirunaRaiyoor! Its greatness is: It has got the Chozha king, who lets every citizen take the sandal wood branches, and agil tree branches; the place, where the river cauvery brings along with it, the gem stones, and pushes aside the fields; where groups of bees sing tunes jointly. 3. Oh bhakthAs, who long to join the Lotus Feet of SavEshawaran, who had the Oceans as the dress; who had the vast earth as His Feet; eight directions, as His shoulders; the air (Vaayu) as His ThirumEni; the wall of the huge Universe as His Head; Sarva vyApakan! (as Mathsyam..?) Stay permanently at ThirunaRaiyoor, where the Chozha king has got the sword in his hand that is capable of bringing the flesh of his enemy at its tip, that is pecked and eaten by the crows, sitting on top of the golden crowns of the (dead) enemy kings. 4. Oh Bhagawathas, desirous of the being at the Lotus Feet of SarvEshawaran, who flooded with the red blood of the strongest hiraNyan, by pulling him and placing him on his lap and tearing him apart with His sharp nails, by roaring and laughing with His ferocious mouth, and looking fiercely with His fiery eyes, as Great Naraisinga rUpam! Stay at ThirunaRaiyoor, which was ruled by Chozah mannan, riding on victorious horses, that can even push the elephants of his enemies. 5. Oh devotees, desirous of the feast of enjoying the lotus Feet of Emperumaan, who sent hiraNyan, by killing him in His Narasinga avtaar, and sending him to Swargam, who took the Trivikraman avtaar, and measured all three worlds! Stay at ThirunaRaiyoor, where Chozha king stayed, who was the king of both south and the north of Tamil Nadu as well, where the river Cauvery brings along with it the gem stones and golden particles and scatter them in the banks of ThirunaRaiyoor. 6. Oh BhakthAs, who long to attain and be saved by, at the Lotus feet of Emperumaan, who has the Divya Athma swaroopam; who has got the Divine ThirumEni, out of His own will; who has got the whole three lustrous worlds, as His own possessions (as His sarIram); who is the Nirvaahakan of Parama padham as well; who out of His own sankalpam (free will), created from His swaroopam, the four faced Brahma and Sivan, and Indran; who never ever gets entangled and bonded by Karmas, but still be born as KaNNan! Stay at ThirunaRaiyoor! Which is sought by even the Chozha king, the Kongu naaattu king and the Paandya king, who sends his enemies to heaven (Veera swargam) by aiming his spear once. 7. Oh floks desirous of joining the Lotus Feet of Emperumaan KaNNan, who drank the poison from the breasts of Poothanai and finished her off; who was the Nirvaahakan of Dwaraka; who went behind the cattle, rearing them, playing the divine music from his flute; who stole (for playing and fun) the ornaments of cowherd women! Stay permanently at ThirunaRaiyoor, which is flooded with gem stones, due to river Cauvery, and has got Chozha king, the strong kshathriyan having the bow in his hand. 8. The vallabhan of the bimbha fruit like mouthed beautiful Nappinnai PiraaaTTi; the One who cut the head of strong Kaarthaveeryaarjunan, as Parasuraman- Oh BhakthAs, who long to attain the Lotus Feet of this greatest Emperumaan! Stay at ThirunaRaiyoor, where great Chozha king was blessed at ThirunaRaiyoor, with what he wished for, who had ruled the world, and who had built seventy temples for Sivan, (who has eight shoulders; who has the mouth that utters Purushasooktham (to please Emperumaan). (means: Even after building them for Sivan, he got what he wished for after he reached ThirunaRaiyoor. What is that which can not be granted by Sivan? Simple. – that is mOksham- Srivaikunta vaasam- same as what ThiruvaLLuvar said “piRavi perunkadal neendhuvar; neendhaar- iRaivan adi sEraadhaar. Those who go to (surrender at) the Lord’s feet, will cross the ocean of births (samsaaram); those who don’t will not. Here the Lord naturally mens: Sriman Narayanan. Why? Read the pAsuram’s meaning again.) 9. Oh Devotees, who are desirous of listening to the greatness of Emmperumaan, who is the consort of Nappinannai PiraaTTi; who has got thousand divine names; who is praised even by sages like Sanakar; who is the Divine Consort of Periya PiraaTTi, seated on the Lotus flower; who stays at Srirangam in order to save everyone and remove all their thaapams! Stay at ThirunaRaiyoor, which was reached by the Chozha king who used to drive the chariot in the battle field killing his enemies victoriously; who was praised by one and all as the great king. 10. This ten is on the SarvEshawaran, the red (lotus) eyed Lord of ThirunaRaiyoor, where Vedic scholars reside permanently. It is composed by Kaliyan, who never speaks lies. (means: all that he said is Truth. sathyam.- because Vedhaas saathraas param naasthe na deivam Kesavaatha Param); this can give you blissful enjoyment if you sing and dance. Those who do that, will drive away and scare even the yama dhUthaas (the servants of Yama). They will be blessed to obtain the support and preethi (love) of Nithyasooris and also become jnAnis ThirumangaiAzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam Regards Narayana Narayana Narayana dAsan Madhavakkannan ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
