Periya Thirumozhi 5.6- meyvaNNam ninaindhavarkku mey ninRa vitthagan

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

After listening to the lamenting cries of Parakala Nayaki (through her

mother), Sri Ranganatha says “AzhwArE! Have I not come to Arangam only for

you? Don’t cry and suffer. And shows His Sowlabhyam. AzhwAr narrtes all his

“laabhams” the benefits he has been blessed with; the enjoyment he gets by

having the darshan of the Lord..

 

1. Like a young, huge, strong male elephant; like the Dark Blue hued gem

(Neela maNi) that has His Yoga nithrA on the ocean; the dense dark, greenish

Maragatham; the One who is praised and proclaimed by Vedas; He is My Swami,

the One who, by a mere thinking of Him, makes my thoughts so sweet and

blissful; the One, who, by effortless lifting of the huge mountain,

protected the cattle from torrential rains; Emperumaan – I have seen Him at

this most beautiful Divya Desam of Srirangam.

 

2. The Perumman- who is at ThiruppEr; who is at ThirukkuRungudi; who is

always at ThirutthaNkaa; who is having His Yoga nithrA at Thirukkarambanoor;

the One who swallowed the Universe with seven dweepams, with seven

mountains; with the dark deep seven oceans for protecting the same; and

unsatisfied, SarvEshawran still wants to continue protecting and saving the

worlds;- I have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

3. The One who took the Huge Varaaha avtaar to brought back on His Horn the

Earth, from troubled waters; who Himself is the Earth and the Skies(as

Antharyaami); who is always the sweetest nectar (insatiable) in the hearts

of His devotees; who is the Cowherd Boy KaNNan, rearing the cattle along

with other boys of Ayar paadi; - I have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

4. (Read this pAsuram! Very sweet!) The One who has His “aRithuyil” (Yoga

nithrA) at ThiruppaaRkadal; who, as an infant KaNNan kicked off the wheel

asuran; who tore open the strong chest of HiraNyan, ferociously unable to

bear him for troubling His Bhaktha; who measured the whole Universe with His

feet as a Trivikraman; - I have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

5. The One who is the waters; the Fire; the Bhoomi; and thus, the

antharaathmaa of all five elements; - who is Rama, and destroyed rAvaNan’s

lankA; who is the deep Ocean; who is the Chief of Paramapadham; who

approves, accepts and eats (as Agni ) the Havis (Ghee), which is offered in

Yaagam performed by Brahmins chanting Vedic hymns. – That Lord- I have seen

Him at Srirangam.

 

6. The One- who removes the obstacles of anger, et al from devotees and

increases their desire and love for Him; who killed Kamsan, unable to bear

the sufferings of His parents imprisoned by Kamsan; who is like “KaRpaka”

tree, as Parama Udhaarakan; who ate the worlds o protect during PraLayam;

who conquered and cut the shoulders of bAnAsuran who had come to fight

against KaNNan and made Sivan lose heavily (when he came to support the

asuran angrily ); who has Garuda as His Vaahanam (vehicle); - I have seen

Him at Srirangam.

 

7. He – the One who is the Vishayam (Object) of my thoughts always; who

directs me to have such an intense desire for Him; who is the Consort of

PiraaTTi, who blesses me with the fruit of thinking of Him; who is standing

permanently at ThiruvEmkatam and then now in my heart; who lengthened His

Feet to measure the whole world- Trivkraman of ThirukkOvailoor;- My Swami- I

have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

8. The One who does not shower His mercy on the red clothed Bhuddhists

(monks) for their non-belief in Vedas and to Jains (who are impure); who

does not help other non-Vedic or wrong Vedic religions; who, by nature is

most merciful and most compassionate; who is ever helpful and merciful to

those who hold on to Him, to relatives and bhandhus of me (who has held on

to Him), to me, to my father; to my mother; to Nithyasooris; - Such Parama

upakaarakan- SarvEshawran- I have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

9. Accharya Bhoothan- the Most wonderful Lord- who shows all His swaroopams,

in its entirety, without hiding to those devotees, who have no Veshams

(pretensions), and whose thoughts are always on Him; who chase away their

desires on sensual pleasures and worldly matters- That Lord of anjana vaNNan

(dark hued Lord); the One who is of dark black clouds colour; who is like

Maragatham colour; - I have seen Him at Srirangam.

 

10. The One who protected and reared cattle; who is the Swami reclining and

having his Yoga nithrA at Srirangam (the ornament of the Earth); is the Lord

about whom this ten is composed. Kaliyan, who is blessed with such grace,

much to the envy and longing and delight of everyone; is the composer. Those

who read this ten, will have all karmic diseases run away .
