PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi -1.3 -11 to 21 pAsurams- pAdhAthi kEsa varNanai-II

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

The remaining 11 pAsurams in pAdhAthi kEsa varNanam of Kutti KaNNan is here:

11. nALgaLOr naalaindhu thingaLaLaivilE

thaaLainimirtthuch chakadaitthai saadippOi

vaaLkoLvaLaiyeyiRRAruyirvavvinaan

thOLgaLirundhavaakaaNeerE surikuzhaleer vandhukaaNeerE.

 

Within four to five months (which passed by like days) lifted the kutti foot

and kicked to break and kill the Wheel asuran (SakatAsuran- sent by Kamsa to

kill Kutti) and when big, went (to Mathura) to pick the lives (meaning-

killing) [uyir vavvinnan] of Kamsa, SisupAlan, dhandhavakthran et al who had

bent corner teeth (kOrai paal) and had swords with them. (vaaLkoL

vaLaiyeyeiRRAr). That KaNNan's shoulder- Look at that. Oh curly haired

ladies! Come and see.

 

naaLgaL naalaindhu- the four to five months passed by like days (since

the cowherd folks enjoyed their time looking and enjoying Kutti KaNNan,

their time was flying simply.

 

When AzhwAr mentions about the thOL (shoulders) of KaNNan, the tresses

that hang till shoulders are thought of and thus, calls the ladies also

with that adjective.

 

Here Thiruvaaymozhipillai refers to the yeyiRu + Ar + uyir = meant to

Poothanai and her uyir vavvinaan is referred.

 

12. maiithada~nkaNNiyasOdhai vaLarkkinRa

seythalaineela niRatthucchiRupiLLai

neytthalai nEmiyum sanghum nilAviya

kaitthalangaL vandhu kaaNeerE kanankuzhaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

This little boy- who is of blue hued colour like the neelOthpalam; who is

the Greatest doing the grandest deeds (sey thalai); who is reared by the

collyrium-applied large-eyed (mayth thadan kaNN) Yasodha PiraaTTi. Look at

His lotus flower like palms in both Hands which carry the resplendent sharp

ChakrA and sanghu. Oh golden ear studded ladies! Come and see.

 

KaNNan had already hidden the four Hands with sanghu ChakrA after showing

off to Devaki and Vasudeva; where does YasOdhA see Sanghu and ChakrA? It is

AzhwAr who sees them. Also, one can visualize – When the Lord can see the

entire Universe in His mouth to Yasodha, can He not show Sanghu, ChakrA?

(the kaajal is not applied always by Yasodha. Since it is just four months

after birth, she has applied (which was essential for new mothers

(prasavaittha))

 

13. vandamar poonkuzhalaaycchi maganaagak

koNDu vaLarkkinRa kOvalakkuTTaRku

aNdamum naadumadanga vizhungiya

kaNdamirundhavaa kaaNeerE kaarigaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

This Kutti KaNNan of YasodhA was brought up saying “he is our son”.

By cowherd folks like NadhagOpan (Kovalakkuttan). Look at that little

darling’s small neck which had swallowed the vast huge Universe, the worlds

and everything in one gulp through this neck. Look at that great neck. Come

oh beautiful ladies! See.

 

He did not crush the Universe and drank the jucie; Everything was in its

place. All could be seen distinctly in his stomach. {ThiruppAN perumAL said,

“aNdaraNda bagiraNdatthoru maanilamum yezhumaalvarai muRRum uNda kaNdam

kaNdeer; aDiyEnai uyaakoNdathE]

 

14. enthoNdai vaaycchingam vaavaayenRedutthukkoNdu

anthoNdai vaayamudhAdharitthAycchiyar

thanthoNdai vaayaaRRarukkip parugum ich

chenthoNdai vaayvandhu kaaNeerE sEyizhaiyeervandhu kaaNeerE.

 

“our bimbha fruit like (kOvaippazham) lipped Lion (of cowherd folks)! Inga

vaa! (Come here to us.) – calls the Gopika ladies (cowherd women) to lift

the Kutti in their arms and to drink the sweet nectar from His divinely

beautiful face with their mouths (by planting their kisses on Him and get

from Him too); to feel proud of that attainment (tharukki) of drinking from

such reddish bimbha fruits like lips. Look at those luscious lips red in

colour! Oh ladies with fresh ornaments! Come and see.

 

[swamy Desikan in Gopala vimsathy says: adhaarahitha chaaru vamsa naalaam]

 

15. nOkki yasOdhai nuNikkiya manjaLAl

naakku vazhitthu neeraattuminnambhikku

vaakum nayanamum vaayum muRuvalum

mookkum irundhavaa kaaNeerE moykuzhaleer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

Oh girls with dark densely grown tresses! YasOdhA picked the right, well

grown turmeric stick (manjaL) and changed its shape to make it appropriate

for cleaning the small cute tongue while bathing Kutti KaNNan; Our GuNa

poorNan (the Lord with most auspicious attributes) has such charming talks

(mazhalai – babble of babies); large, wide sparkling well laid out

(merciful) eyes; red coral bimbha fruit like lips and mouth; (and in that),

a sweet impish, charming smile always lingering in.. that aquiline sharp

(etpoo naasi - sesame seed flower like) nose.. Look at His Thirumugam

(divine face). Come and see oh dense haired ladies!

 

16. viNkoLamarargaL vEdhanai theeramun

maNkoLvasudEvar tham maganaay vandhu

thiNkoLasuraraitthEya vaLarginRaan

kaNgaL irundhavaa kaaNeerE.

 

He took the avatar as KaNNan, born as son of Vasudeva and came to the

bhUlOkam (earth) and in Ayar paadi in order to alleviate the sorrows of

Devas (by finishing the asurAs), He grows to destroy strong asurAs like

Kamsa. Look at His dark large eyes. Oh heavy bangles- ladies! Come and see.

 

17. paruvam nirambAmE paarellaamuyyath

thiruvin vadivokkum devaki peRRa

uruvukariya voLimaNivaNNan

puruvamirundhavaa kaaNeerE pooNmulaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

KaNNan- born to save the worlds and people therein (even before he grows

up); born of the blessed one Devaki, who is like Periya PiraaTTi Mahalakshmi

in her swaroopam; born with dark, bright, blue hued gem stone like most

beautiful form. – Such Kutti Kanna’s eye brows- look at that; they are

beautiful to behold. Come oh girls who wear beautiful ornaments on your

breasts! Come and see.

 

Here Devaki is compared to Mahalakshmi not only because of hear beauty; also

due to her being able to withstand separation from the Lord for saving

people and killing asurAs (like SitA suffered in Asoka vanam and the

separation from the Lord); Devaki let KaNNan be taken out of her hands not

for saving the worlds .

 

In all avatars, PiraaTTi comes along with the Lord. Similarly Devaki too was

born as the wife of Vasudeva. He was Suthapas and she was his wife- pruSni;

When he was born as Kasyapa, she was adhithi. Now she is Devaki.

 

Also she is the most beautiful like PiraaTTi herself. The Lord (who dances

to the tune of PiraaTTi’s eye brows- meaning He acts per her nods and

approvals), wanted to have that particular eye brows (so that he can also do

the same) and thus, got it (the lovely eye brows) through his mother Devaki

(who has PiraaTTi’s form)- what an anubhavam by Sri UttamUr Swamy!

 

18. maNNum malaiyum kadalum ulagEzhum

uNNunthiRatthu magizhndhuNNum piLLaikku

vaNNamezhilkoL magarakkuzhaiyivai

thiNNamirundhavaa kaaNeerE sEyiazhaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

This Kutti KaNNan- who enjoyed eating the earth, the mountains, the

surrounding vast oceans, and the seven worlds (below) and seven worlds

(above)- as if he eats milk, butter and curd.- with such relish;- Look at

this darling’s glittering, most colorful, and most beautiful, ear studs so

apt for His ears (as if they are made for each other); Oh girls who wear red

fresh ornaments! Come and see.

 

19. muRRilunthoodhaiyum munkaimmEl poovaiyum

siRRilizhaitthutth thirivOrgaLai

paRRip paRitthuk koNdOdumparamanRan

neRRiyirundhavaa kaaNeerE nErizhaiyeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

When the young girls (of three to five years of age) play building sand

houses and entrance, pillars etc., with few instruments, our Kutti Kannan of

about the same age (in 3 years) come from behind and grab their instrument

or whatever toys that possess in their hands and sprint laughing… That

Parama purushan’s forehead- look at that. So charming and beautiful. Come

and see, Oh beautiful girls!

 

Here the Paramapurushan’s sowlabhyam running so fast grabbing what comes in

His hand – is enjoyed. When he runs, the forehead is held high and is tense.

That scene is so enjoyable to behold in front of eyes and AzhwAr relishes

seeing the forehead.

 

20. azhagiyapaimponnin kOlankaikoNdu

kazhalgaL sathangai kalandhengum aarppa

mazha kanRinangaL maRitthut thirivaan

kuzhagaL irundhavaa kaNeerE kuvimulayeer vandhu kaaNeerE.

 

Holding the fresh golden stick in His beautiful resplendent hand, and making

sounds everywhere with His anklets while He walks here and there taking care

of the calves and not letting them run here and there’ – Look at that KuttI

KaNNan’s black curly tresses! Oh round breasted ladies! Come and see.

 

Like archAvataar (in Mannaargudi Sri Rajagopalan Swamy), He holds golden

stick even in vibhava avtaat too, it appears. The calves intentionally run

here and there and stand near Him in order to listen those musical sounds

emanating from His ankets while He walks with his short stout beautiful

legs. OR they themselves listening to His anklets come near Him; That’s what

He does taking care. He doe not have to chase them. So, all that He needs to

do to take care of them and call them is to: simply walk and move His legs

and the anklets sound inviting calves near Him..

 

21. suruppaarkuzhaliya sOdhaimun sonna

thiruppAdhakEsatthaitthenpudhuvai bhattan

viruppAluriatthavirupadhOdonRum

uraippArpOi vaigunthatthonRuvarthAmE.

 

The bees-residing most fragrant dense haired YasOdhA had described earlier

from the tip of the toe to the Head during KaNNan’s vibhava avatar- and that

is told with a desire (to enjoy narrating like Yasodha herself the ThirumEni

azhaghu- the divine Beauty of Kutti KaNNan) in 20 pAsurams plus this one

(21 in all) by SrI Villiputthoor Bhattan (BhattanAthan- PeriyAzhwAr). Those

who recite them knowing their meanings will by themselves go to Sri

VaikunTam and stay there for ever.

 

Here- the word- pOi vaikuntham- means: they will go via archirAdhi maargam

to Sri vaikunTam.

thamE onRuvar- They will get interested to enjoy the divine beauyty of the

Lord, get jnAnam as to what needs to be done to attain that desire and do

acts that are necessary to go to Sri vaikuNtam..
