TIRUVIRUTTAM

And

THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (5)

-----

 

21. Even while in His highest abode, SrIvaikuNtam, the

Lord is deeply in love for being easily available in

this world.

 

" viNNOrkaL nannIr

Atti anthoopam tarA niRkavE angu Or mAyaiyinAl

Ittiya veNNai toduvuNNap pOndu "

 

(In SrIvaikuntam, after giving the Lord a holy bath,

the nitya sooris, with the purest and most beautiful

garlands in their hands to adorn Him, are offering a

fragrant incense; during that time, the Lord deceives

them for a moment and comes here to eat the butter in

the homes of cowherd-women.)

 

22. The Lord has as devotees only those who have the

same thoughts and actions like Himself.

 

" puLLoorum kaLvar

tam pAr akattenRum AdAtana tammil koodAtana "

 

(The Lord, who is moving on the Garuda vehicle, never

has anything in this world of His, that is

incompatible to Him.) [He does not have anyone and

anything not compatible to Him.]

 

23. He takes others too in His control, by attracting

their minds through these devotees.

 

" puNdarIkattu ankEzh

vanamOr anaiya kaNNAn kaNNan vAnAdamrum deivattu

inamOr anaiyIrkaLAy "

 

(You are in a way similar to the nitya sooris living

in the Abode of the Lord, SrI Krishna with His eyes

akin to a lustrous garden full of red lotuses.)

 

24. He wears the fragrant Tulasi garland only for

their sake.

 

" kaL Urum tuzhAy

koyalvAymalarmEl manattodu ennAmkol em kOl vaLaikkE? "

 

(The mother of the Lady-love says: " What would happen

to my daughter wearing beautiful bracelets, whose

heart has gone away after the beautiful and fragrant

Tulsi garland adorned by the Lord? " )

 

25. There is none who has escaped from that Tulasi.

 

" nam kOn ugakkum tuzhAy en ceyyAtu ini nAnilattE? "

 

(What is not achievable for the Tulasi worn happily by

our Lord?)
