TIRUVIRUTTAM

And

THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (12)

-----

 

56. The Lord’s grace is limitless. He provides total

bliss to every limb of His devotee in such a way that

others are not aware of it.

 

“viyalidam uNda pirAnAr viduttha thiruvaruLAl

uyalidam peRRuyntham, anjalam thOzhi! Or

thaN-thenRal vanthu

ayalidai yArum aRinthilar, ampoon-thuzhAyin in thEn

puyaludai neermai-yinAl thadaviRRu, en

pulan-kalanE.”

 

(By the exemplary grace of the Lord, Who swallowed the

wide worlds into His stomach, we got a place to

survive. Hereafter, we will not be afraid of the

northern hot air etc. Oh my friend! A pleasant breeze

came carrying the sweet honey drops of Tulasi, like

rain drops, and fondled my limbs and ornaments,

without anyone nearby noticing it.)

 

57. Our minds are being stirred in devotion by Him, as

the ocean which was stirred by Him with His own hands

to produce the nectar.

 

“pulak-kuNdalap puNdareekattha pOrk-keNdai,

valli-yOnRAl

vilakkuNdu ulAkinRu vEl-vizhikkinRana, kaNNan

kaiyAl

malakkuNdu amutham churantha maRikadal pOnRu

avaRRAl

kalakkuNda nAnRu kaNdAr, emmai yArum

kazhaRalarE.”

 

(On the lotus-like the face (of the Lady-love), with

beautiful ear-rings, the fish-like twin eyes,

separated by the creeper-like nose, appear to be in

pain as though pierced by a spear. The eyes look like

the stirred ocean which was churned by the Lord with

His own hands. ‘No one who is aware of this fact will

find fault with me’)[says the Ladylove.]

 

58. He provides the Bliss exceeding the limits of the

world and the sky.

 

“kazhal thalamonRE nilamuzhuthAyiRRu, oru kazhal pOi

nizhal thara ellAvisumbum niRainthathu, neeNda

aNdaththu

uzhaRalar j~nAnac-chudar viLakkAy uyarnthOrai

illA

azhaRalar thAmaraik kaNNan ennO ingu

aLakkinRathE?”

 

(Just one foot of the Lord covered the entire world.

The other foot went up and occupied the entire sky. Is

there anything left here to measure for the Lord, Who

stays in the mighty Paramapadam; Who is like a lamp of

knowledge that spreads light everywhere; Who has

neither an equal nor a superior; and Whose eyes are

like an unfading lotus grown on the muddy land.)

 

59. His Bliss is such that the devotee cannot bear

the delay.

 

“aLapparum thanmaiya oozhiyang-kankul am

thaNNam thuzhAykku

uLapperum kAthalin neeLiyavAy uLa”

 

(The nights look longer than the measureless life-time

of countless Brahmas, because of the growing desire

for the pleasant Tulasi of the Lord. {“oozhi” is a

measureless time covering the life-time of countless

Brahmas (several kalpas).]

 

60. The Lord is anxious to give the Bliss even to

those devotees who are not yet qualified for it.

“mulaiyO muRRum pOnthila, moipoonkuzhal kuRiya,

kalaiyO araiyillai, nAvO kuzhaRum, kadal maNNellAm

vilaiyO ena miLirum, kaN ivaL paramE? perumAn

malaiyO thiruvEnkadamenRu kaRkinRa vAchakamE.”

 

(She is yet a child. Breasts have not yet developed;

the hair is still very short; the dress does not

remain on her waist; the tongue still babbles; the

eyes are not yet steady and they look at the earth and

the ocean as if they are purchasable objects. But, how

is she uttering repeatedly the words, “Is the

Tiruvenkada hill the Lord’s abode.”?)
