Periya Thirumozhi 8.4-"KaNNapuratthaanaith thoNdar paada vandhu oodhu thumbhI!"

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

In last ten, Parakala nayaki lamented that she had lost her wrist bangles

for Him..

Now she tells the rain flies (thumbhI) not to stay on her hair as she has

lost her feminity to Him and thereby the fragrance on her hairs.. Hence, she

addresses the bees (thumbhIs- that were loitering on her hair and drinking

honey from her flowers (on her hair) not to stay there anymore and go

somewhere else where they can certainly find honey and drink a lot. Also

give some back to her too.. Very poetic ten! Beautiful!!

 

1. Oh ThumbHi! the One that drinks honey from the pollen of flowers! The

Lord- Emperumaan- SarvEshwaran- the Divine Consort of Periya PiraaTTi- the

chief of Nithyasooris- KalyaaNa guNagaNouka mahaarNavan- is the Lord of

ThirukkaNNapuram- Sowri raja PerumAL. Go and drink the fragrance that

persists on the thuzhaay maalai on His shining crown and blow on me that

fragrance..

 

2. ThumbhI! The Vedha mudhalvan! The Chjeif who is praised in Vedas! the One

who wears PooNool on His ThirumEni; The Greatest Lord, whose Feet are

worshipped by one and all; The SarvEshwaran of ThirukkaNNapuram; Go and

drink the fragrance that prevails on his Thuzhaay ( which is adorned by Him)

and blow it on me..

 

3. Oh ThumbhI! What did you achieve by loitering and wandering on those

flowers that bloomed?(None.. the honey gets exhausted very soon. also it is

alpam... ).. This Honey- this fragrance always stays with Him.. never ever

gets finished.. Hence, the Nirvaahakan of all worlds- the

ThirukkaNNaperumaan- is available. Go and drink fragrance from His ThuLasi

that He wears and blow on me.. (perhaps then only can I survive..)

 

4. ThumbhI! The Matsya avtaar that appeared unparalleled on the large vast,

deep ocean; the limitless unbounded Koormam; the ferocious peerless

Narasingan; - is all Emperumaan of ThirukkaNNapuram whose Divine Beautiful

ThirumEni is enjoyed all who see Him, like dark huge clouds; Go and drink

the fragrance that prevails on his Thuzhaay ( which is adorned by Him) and

blow it on me..

 

5. ThumbhI! What good you obtained by standing on those beautiful flowers?

The Koormam (Tortoise) - Huge Beautiful One that spread everywhere

throughout the vast Universe- on huge Ocean - is the Lord of

ThirukkaNNapuram. Go and drink the fragrance that prevails on his Thuzhaay (

which is adorned by Him) and blow it on me..

 

6. kOl thumbhI! the One that drinks honey from the pollen of flowers! He

has Periya PiraaTTi in His Divine Chest! He has Strong chakrA in His right

resplendent Hand; He is the Greatest Lord who had brought out the Universe

(BhUmi PiraaTTi) from troubled waters; He is dark hued bluish colored

Emperumaan like the Kaayampoo.(?) he is The Lord of ThirukkaNNapuram. Sowri

rAja perumAL. Go and drink the fragrance that prevails on his Thuzhaay (

KaRki; He is the One who killed Madhu.. He is Madhavan; He is the one who

appeared simply for protecting and rakshaNam as Chakravartthi Thirumagan.

fields; etc.,You go and drink from the yama of the asurAs; the
