TIRUVIRUTTAM

And

THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (14)

-----

 

66. He graces us with such a knowledge (j~nAnam) which

even the great yogis acclaim.

 

“uNNAthu uRankAthu uNarvuRum etthannai yOgiyarkkum

eNNAy miLiRum iyalvinavAm eri neer vaLI vAn

maNNAkiya emperumAn thanathu vaikuntham annAL

kaNNAy aruvinaiyEn utirayina kAvikaLE”

 

(The Lady-love who is just like the SrIvaikuNtam of

the Lord, the embodiment of the five elements, is

worth enjoyable always; her eyes, like the blue

lilies, are the very soul of mine who is sinful, are

of the nature which is adorable even by the sages who

have attained the highest yogic powers by meditating

constantly without food and sleep for long time.)

[This is the statement of the hero who is enjoying the

bliss that is being provided by the beautiful eyes of

his lady-love. He compares the bliss to that which is

obtained only in SrIvaikuNtam; that bliss is being

held in high esteem by all great yogis.]

 

67. He graces us the fitness to live for ever on His

TiruvEnkata hill.

 

“MAdavan Govindan

vEnkatam cEr

thooviyam pEdai annAL kaNkaLAya thuNai malarE”

 

(She is like the beautiful swan which lives taking as

its permanent abode in the TiruvEnkata hill of the

Lord, Who is known as MAdavan [the Consort of SrI],

and as Govinda [the protector of the cows]; her eyes

appear like lotus-twins.)

{This is also a statement of the hero who is enjoying

for ever the bliss provided by his lady-love.}

 

68. For the sake of the devotees, He measures the

world and makes it equal to SrIvaikuntam.

 

 

“porukadal-choozh

nilam thAviya emperumAn thanathu vaikuntam annAy”

 

(Oh, you are comparable to the SrIvaikuntam of the

Lord who measured the world surrounded by the ocean

with full of high waves.)

 

69. For the sake of those devotees who have a strong

faith that the Lord will certainly shower His grace

upon them, He takes pleasure in obtaining all the

worlds by even resorting to begging.

 

 

“bhuvaniyellAm

neer ERRu aLantha nediya pirAn aruLavidumO?”

 

(Won’t the Lord, who got all the worlds on

measurement, by begging from MahAbali, grant His grace

to us?)

 

70. In order to provide His grace to the devotees by

increasing in multiple terms their love, He is wearing

the Tulasi garland on His crown.

 

“vaLaivAyt thiruchakkaratthu enkaL vAnavanAr

mudimEl

thaLaivAy naRunkaNNit thaNNan thuzhAykku vaNNam

payalai viLaivAn .. ”

 

(The pleasant Tulasi garland, adorning the crown of

our Lord, Who is holding the sharp discus in hands and

staying in SrIvaikuntam, kindles in me a great longing

for Him.)
