Dearest All,

 

After Darasaratha’s lamenting decad, AzhwAr relishes

singing the entire Ramayanam in his last set of verses

in PerumAL Thirumozhi. The whole Ramayanam is

beautifully narrated in just 11 verses and is sung

referring to Thirucchithrakootam Diyya Desam perumAL.

The same Lord Sri Rama resides here in this divya

desam permanently. Thillai Thirucchitrakootam Pasurams

of Kulasekhara are nothing but Sampoorna Ramayanam.

The same chitra kootam Rama resides with Sita and

Lakshmanan.

 

He salutes the Lord as the one, who enjoyed the bliss

with Sita Devi at the foot hills of Chitrakootam.

Kulasekhara was moved by the beauty of Tillai nagar

that he was reminded of the beauty of the Chitrakootam

of the north and called Thillai as Thiruchitrakootam.

He is a great Rama Bhaktha and hence moved by the

beauty of the Archa murthy of that Kshetram. He was in

Govinda Raja Sri Ramachandra and composed his

Sampoorna Ramayanam then and there.

 

These verses have enshrined themselves containing

mantrams, Sundara khaandam (or Ramayanam) meanings and

inner meanings that are commonly understood and

commented by our achaaryas. We will relish the direct

meanings and translation of this wonderful verses.

filled with the most beautiful places, tall ramparts

of the buildings, in the city named Ayoddhi, where

Jagath kaaraNan, the Param jyOthi Sriman Narayanan

took avathAram as Sri Ramachandra in Surya vamsa, in

an unparalleled avathAram, the most valorous One who

removed the sorrows of everyone; who has the most

beautiful red lotus eyes; who is like dark hued rainy

clouds; who enchants everyone with His divine beauty

and most beautiful ruddy lined large eyes; who shows

Himself at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam; who is

Primordial Chief; Our Master; - such most wonderful

Lord- emperumAn- when will I able to enjoy seeing Him

and relish His divine beauty?- longs AzhwAr.

The Lord Sri Ramanachandra who sent the strongest

sharp arrow through Thaataka [who had come in front of

Him to prevent the yaagams of Sage Viswamitra] with

blood pouring out of her chest, killing her, thus

saving and protecting the yaagam of the revered vedic

sage; the one who also conquered Subhahu and Mareecha

who came to stop the same yaagam;

He is the same who shows Himself so gracefully and

majestically at Thillai Thiruchitrakootam, which is

full of charming gardens where fragrant cool flowers

are found aplenty; full of red tender leaves with

flowers at the centers; which enchants the residents

and visitors. Obeisance is paid to this EmperumAn by

about three thousands of Srivaishnavas who do not know

and want anything other than the Lord Himself as the

Only Goal; ananya prayOjanars. He is the One and Only

One- Sarveshwaran who sits on Golden throne

impregnated with the most precious gem stones in this

Diyya Desam.

In order to garland the most beautiful long and large

eyed Sita PiraaTTi, the one who bent (and thus broke)

the Siva’s bow; the one who also bent the bow and sent

the arrow from the bow of Parasurama and emerged

victorious on the way back from Mythila; the most

valorous warrior who conquered all the enemy kings;

the one who shows Himself as gracefully at Thillai

Chitrakootam Divya Desam, which is surrounded by tall

ramparts that terrify and scare the enemies. He is the

Lord Sri Raman holding the divine bow in His long

hands. [Azhwaar describes his daasyaa state to the

Bhagavathaas of the Emperumaan of Thillai

Thiruchitrakootam in this verse] O Ramachandra! I take

refuge at the holy feet of the Bhagavathaas, who have

performed SaraNaagathi at your lotus feet.

leaving the kingdom of Ayodhya heeding to the words

and order of the flowed bedecked curly haired Kaikeyi,

proceeded to the forest where the most loving Guhan

(the hunter and the boatman) resided; granted the most

powerful and auspicious pair of Padhukas of Himself to

His younger brother Bharatha along with the kingdom.

Sri Ramachandra Murthy the one was with Sita PiraaTTi

in Chithra kootam is now here at Thillai Chithra

kootam divya desam for all the residents of the earth

to enjoy seeing Him at this place. Even the Nityasuris

can not match those who are blessed to enjoy seeing

Him at this Divya Desam.

The One who killed Viraadhan [who had the strong

shoduers that would effortlessly conquer the enemies],

got the blessed bow from the great Sage Agastya, who

[along with Lakshmana] cut the nose of deer eyed

SoorpaNakai; who won against Kara, dhooshanas [14000

men army] victoriously; who sent the arrow through the

body of Mareechan who came in guise of the golden deer

and killed him;- is now here at Thillai

Chithratkootam. This earth is indeed sanctified by the

movement of those Bhagavathas in this Divya Desam.

They raise their hands in salutation to Sri Rama of

Chitrakootam with their Anjali mudra (Pasuram 5).

Having lost His only wealth Sita, Sri Rama remorseful

reached where Jatayu, the eagle king, was lying down

with his wings cut [earlier by Ravana, while fighting

with him, trying and attempting to save Sita] and sent

Jatayu to Paramapadham; befriended Sugreevan who was

living in fear from his brother Vaali; killed Vaali

and coronated Sugreevan, the as the monkey king;

thorugh His messenger Hanuman, burnt the lankA city

the place of Raakshasa king Ravana and tamed his ego

and arrogance; - Such most wonderful Lord Sri

Ramachandra murthy is beautifully showing himself so

sweetly at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam. I stand

here paying my humble obeisance at the lotus feet of

ardent devotees of Sri Ramachandra murthy at this

Divya Desam.

Sending the arrow to the large deep noisy ocean and

organized for building a bridge made of mountainous

rocks, and crossed the ocean with the help of that

rocky bridge to reach lankA; killing the asuras, the

armies along with their king Ravanan effortlessly in

lankA; made his younger brother VibheeshaNan the king;

along with the Sri Mahalakshmi, SitA PiraaTTi and

gracefully show Himself at Thillai Chitra kootam, full

of all kinds of wealth. I do not consider any kingdom

superior to the one of having the lotus feet of the

Lord of Tillai Thiruchitrakootam on my head.

Reaching back his place of Ayodhya, full of tall and

huge buildings made of impregnated gem stones and

golden plates and became the unparalleled King of

Ayodhya; listening to the old stories of Ravanan from

Sage Agastya; heard His own story from the coral

mouths of his two sons Lava and Kusa [born from SitA

of the most auspicious Mythila], this most beautiful

Lord is here at Thillai Chithra kootam Divya Desam.

Listening to His divine life story [Ramayanam] with my

ears, enjoying His divine beauty with my eyes I would

never ever consider any other object as worthy even if

it is Devaamrutham (the divine nectar). He alone is my

enjoyment and sweetest nectar.

[sampuka vatham] The Lord who searched and killed

Sampukan and got back the son of Vedic Brahmin; who

accepted the precious necklace given by Sage Agasthya

and blessed the sage; Sent lavaNasura to heaven

through killing of him by his youngest brother

Satrugnan; due to the curse of Sahe Dhurvaasa, Rama

had to abandon his younger brother Lakshmana; is now

so blissfully residing as Sri Rama in Thillai Chithra

kootam Divya Desam, and my mind will never ever forget

the Lord of Thillai Thiruchitrakootam. Hence no

inauspiciousness will befall me.

 

[Lakshmana incident, Sampuka vatham appear in Utthara

khaaNdam. Regarding Lakshman's abandonment, Sage and

Guru Vasishta advised Rama that he had no choice,

since Lakshmana transgressed the promise made to Yama

Raja that no one should interrupt his conversation

with Rama and those, who did would have to be

sacrificed. When Durvasa demanded Lakshmana guarding

the gate of the conference chamber and threatened to

curse Rama, if he did not see him immediately,

Lakshmana broke the rule and interrupted the

conversation, fully knowing that he has to be

sacrificed. Rama's acute sense of carrying out his

Raja Dharma put him under tremendous emotional

distress and suffering, But he put his duties as a

king first and executed the course of Action without

hesitation.]

That day- when Sri Rama chose to ascend and go back to

Srivaikuntam after His avathAra mission is

accomplished, he had taken the entire Ayodhya to His

abode. Sri Rama took everything (the Grass, the

creeping ant, the living and non-living, everyone and

everything, - everything that was moving, everything

that was still- all that was born or created by

BrahmA- all that existed in His AyOddya,) to the very

best of position (mOksham). He rode on the strongest

Garuda, and reached His abode with four hands (and

Sankhu and ChakrA), being welcomed by one and all in

Nithya vibhoothi, displaying the glow explicitly with

His Original splendor [ParanjyOthi]. Such

SarvEshwaran, Vaikuntha nAthan Sriya: Pathi Sriman

Narayanan is here at Thillai Chithra kootam divya

desam permanently. That very Lord is this Sri Raman of

this Divya Desan. That Sri Raman of Ayodhya is this

very Lord of Thillai Chithrakootam. Oh Servants of

the Lord! Please recognize the archa murthy staying

forever to bless you as Vaikunta Naathan at Thillai

Thiruchitrakootam and eulogize him and perform Nitya

Kaimkaryam to Him and receive His full blessings.

About the Lord Sri Ramachandra murthy, who resides

eternally in Thillai chithrakootam along with the

strong and divine devotee, Hanuman- right from the

birth as the son of the greatest King Dasaratha

Chakravartthi until his ascention to Srivaikuntam

(Paramapadham) to His very jyOthi is all very nicely

and chronologically narrated as the very Ramayanam

itself by the king Kulaseakara (who holds the sharp

spear that sends all his enemy kings to heaven) and

those who read these divine ten verses composed in

chaste Tamil would surely be blessed to attain the

Lotus Feet of EmperumAn Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan

in Srivaikuntam.

 

The entire tenth Thirumozhi on Thillai

ThirucchithirakUtam is a summary of Srimadh

RaamaayaNam and here the AzhwAr salutes the heroic

acts of VeerarAghavan (Paasuram 2 : TatakA vathm ;

Paasuram 3: ParasurAma Garva Bhangam; Paasuram 5 :

VirAtha Vatham ; pasuram 6: Vaali vatham;

Paasuram 7 : RaavaNa Vatham ; paasuram 9: Sampuka

vatham taking place in the Uttara KhAndham).
