A. SrImad tirukkuDandai ANDavan:

SivaperumAn has matted locks on his head. brahma created that Sivan. That

brahma was created by nArAyaNan in His navel. tiruvaNpuruDOttamam is the place

where that nArAyaNan lives with great delight.

 

In that place, there are plantain trees with fruits touching the ground. The

female monkeys eat the fruits standing on two feet. Then, they hug their babies

and go and sleep in the branches of the mango trees. They sleep sound because

of the happiness from cuddling their kids and to digest the fruits they ate.

 

This divya desam has such an earthy charm.

 

B. SrI PVP:

In the previous pAsuram (8), AzhvAr sang about emperumAn removing Siva's curse.

Here, he declares the reason why – Sivan is His grandson.

 

induvAr isanaip payanda nAn muganai – Sivan, who has the moon and long matted

locks on his hair was created by brahma

 

tannezhilArum undimAmalar mImisaip paDaittavan – who was created by

sarveSvaran in His extremely beautiful navel, on a big lotus flower

 

ugandinidu uRai kOil- that sarveSvaran is happily living in this place; it is

the world created by brahma, His son; so, He is staying here to safeguard the

world.

 

mandi kundivAzhaiyin kozhungani nugarndu - female monkeys are eating the

bananas; first, the monkeys look at the fruits that appear to be touching the

ground. But, when they come nearer, they realize they are a little higher than

they thought they were; so, they stand on their two hind legs and eat the

fruits.

 

tan kuruLaiyait tazhuvip pOi – and embracing their kids, they

 

mAmpaNaimEl vaigu – sleep on the mango tree branches

 

nANgUr vaNpuruDOttamamE – in tirunAngUr tiruvaNpuruDOttamam

 

C. SrI UV:

In the 8th pAsuram, AzhvAr talked about fruits with hard shells (coconuts);

here, he talks about soft-skinned fruits, which are in abundance.

 

puruDOttamam is a place with natural land wealth with coconuts falling by

themselves on to the ponds and monkeys eating bananas fearlessly. Sivan

acquired the curse by plucking his father's head. Grandfather (emperumAn) has a

soft corner for His grandson (Sivan) and removes his curse.

 

D. SrI PBA:

As declared in

“nAnmuganai nArAyaNan paDaittaN

nAnmuganum tAn mugamAi

Sankaranait tAn paDaittAn (nANmugan tiruvantAdi -1)â€, emperumAn, who is the

father of brahma and grandfather of Sivan, lives here to protect the whole

world.
