Periya Thirumozhi 4.10- AzhwArE! I am here at ThiruveLLiyangudi..!

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Thirumangaimannan longed and lamented that the Lord did not show

Himself to him. The Lord says “For everyone’s enjoyment and mixing with Me,

I appeared and took avtaars as Rama and Krishna. That’s the reason I also

show Myself at ThiruveLLiyangudi Divya Desam too. AzhwAr

gets execited and comes out with this ten pAsurams on ThiruveLLiyangudi

PerumAL’s KalyANa GuNAs.

 

1. The Lord, who reclined on the little Banyan leaf during PraLayam,

the one who ate butter, getting complaints from cowherd women folks;

the one who finished off Puthanai sucking her life, as an infant, the one

who crawled in between the two marudha trees; the one who measured the

Universe, in two steps, as Vaamanan begging from Bhali; Such Greatest Lord

stays permanently at this greatest lovely ThiruveLLiyangudi, Which is full

of beautiful betel nut trees, Coconut trees and banana trees And is situated

on the southern banks of maNNi river.

 

2. The Lord who had reared cattle; who had bridged the wavy, noisy, deep

ocean who had plucked the heads of asurAs; who has the dark hued, beautiful

lovely, unparalled, Divine Form; - That greatest Lord, KaNNan stays at this

beautiful Divya Desam of ThiruveLLiyangudi, which has got lots of Punnai

trees, within which bees enter into the holes, come out, hum and sing

merrily drinking honey from the Punnai flowers.

 

3. That day, He entered into the pond and churned the pond, where the most

poisonous KaaLingan snake lived and conquered it, danced on it, by jumping

on its heads, and letting the gems be scattered away from those heads; That

greatest dancer lives here at ThiruveLLiyangudi, where charming ladies learn

dancing, the sounds of whose steps reach the skies even.

 

4. When He appeared as KaNNan, He reared the cattle; He pounced on

Kamsan; His form is dark, beautiful Divine; He is the One who reclines

On ThiruppARkadal; He is the One has GarudA in His flag; This greatest

Lord is here at ThiruveLLiyangudi, in ths southern banks of maNNi river,

where tall buildings, the flags tied on top of which, hit the Soorya

MaNdalam.

 

5. He is the One had brought back the Earth during deep troubled waters

during Varaaha avtaar; He is the one who had lined up the Pandava army, in

the KurukshEthra battle; He drove the chariot and chased Bhishma et al; and

He, is the One who, out of His GREAT VAATHASLYAM for us, is here at

ThiruveLLiyangudi, where fishes get scared of the ploughs entering the

fields saying “this is not the place for us to live in” and run away. Such

fertile place is

this sthalam.

 

6. Lord Raman, aimed the sharp arrows at asurAs and destroyed them

effortlessly, like tender flowers in the midst of the huge tornado; This

PermumAn, has the beautiful bow in His hand, in ThiruveLLiyangudi, where the

banana fruits falls down in a nearby pond waters, on which the fishes jump

and eat happily.

 

7. In a Yaagha, Bhali gave away everything to Vaamanan, when He entered into

the Yaaga saalai, where Bhali had prepared himself to grant everything that

Brahmins ask for; Lord Vaamana asked for three measures of earth and grew

H…U…G..E..

and measured the whole Universe in two steps, as Trivikraman; This

Greatest Lord is here at ThiruvaeLLiyangudi, where cuckoos living in the

most beautiful gardens, coo “HarI…I… HarI…I…; where soft spoken, pristinely

pure saadhus pay their obeisance to this Lord; and He, immediately rushes to

them to bless them;

 

8. HiraNyan terrorised the Devas, and gave them lots of trouble; Prahalada

was tortured by HiraNyan (his father) to a large extent for having uttered

Narayana; He, the Most merciful Lord Narasingan, laid this king of asurAs,

HiraNyan on His lap and tore open the strong chest of his, and killed him;

This Most wonderful Lord stays at ThiruveLLiyangudi, where the gems and

Rathnams impregnated

into the pillars of the buildings give them a strange doubt as to whether it

is night or day.

 

9. SarvEshawaran, who reclines on the AdhisEshan at ThiruppARkadal; who is

praised by Brahma and other Devas along with their families in groups,-

blesses them; who has ChakrA in His resplendent hand stays at

ThiruveLLiyangudi Divya Desam; where the lotus flowers and the sugar cane

plants dance together to the tune of gentle breeze, and where swans move

around with their mates merrily in the beautiful ponds.

 

10. This ten is on the Lord of ThiruveLLiyangudi Divya Desam, who

had brought back the Mother Earth on His horn during His H..U..G..E

Varaaha avtaar; who reclines and has His Yoga NithrA at ThiruppARkadal, with

the pure gentle waves massaging His toes; This ten is composed by Kaliyan,

the king of Thirumangai, the one who has sharp spear in his hand. Those who

are blessed to recite these ten, will become the rulers of this whole world,

surrounded the noisy oceans.
