Periya Thirumozhi 6.7- vaLLi kozhunan mudhalaaya makkaLOdu mukkaNNaan veLgi Oda

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

AzhwAr now describes the greatness of ThirunaRaiyoor Nambhi in this ten.

 

1. The Lord- SarvEshwaran aimed the arrows victoriously to let the heads,

and arms of asurAs fall on the ground. He stands at ThirunaRaiyoor Diva

Desam, where men (beautiful like manmathan and Murugan) and women (who have

spear like beautiful darting eyes) live. This ParipoorNan of ThirunaRaiyoor,

has taken adiyEn (dAsa bhUthan of His), in His ThiruvuLLam (mind) as His

eternal servant and has accepted and acknowledged adiyEn’s kaimkaryam. He

alone is our support.

 

2. This Lord, who appeared as Parasuraman, having the sharp unparalleled

“parasu” (axe) in His hand, that cut the heads of kings of 21 generations,

has the victorious garland on His shoulders is here at ThirunaRaiyoor, where

lotus flowers try to ape the beauty of those large eyed women folks living

in and the white mullai flower buds imitate their teeth. This Lord alone is

our " paRRu " support.

 

3. On the pristinely pure, clear ThiruppaaRkadal, Thiruvananthaazhwaan,

exhaling poisonous air, and having anger on enemies (of Emperumaan), on

whom, Ksheeraandhi Naathan, Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan, reclines and has

Yoga nithrA; Also, He chased and finished off the deer that jumped and

galloped. He went and begged for three measures of earth from Bhali. Such

greatest Perumaan is here at ThirunaRaiyoor as NaRaiyoor Nambhi, where the

beautiful ponds reminds us of the eyes of women folks living therein, while

the lotus flowers therein reminds us of their faces.

 

4. The little Kutti KaNNan, who stole the butter and got Himself caught red

handed by His mother YashOdha. Angry mom tied Him to the coral, having Him

cry with quivering lips. (What a sowlabhyam!) This Kutti KaNNan is the

Nambhi, who stays permanently at ThirunaRaiyoor, where the bees hum and

drink honey from the flowers and the mullai flowers are scattered on the

ground due to the gentle breeze that appears like the smiling face of

ThirunaRaiyoor.

 

5. AT Vadamathura (present day MathurA), He wished to see the dhanur yaagam

and killed the ChaaNoora mushtikan there (as appointed by Kamsan to kill

KaNNan), and then pounced on the strong Kamsan to finish him too. He is the

One who jumped and danced on each head of 1000 heads of most poisonous and

venomous snake KaaLiyan. This KaNNa pirran, is the ThirunaRaiyoor Nambhi,

where brahmins who are blemishless and are learned Vedic scholars live in.

 

6. “vaLLi kozhunan mudhalaaya makkaLOdu mukkaNNaan veLgi Oda…” Along with

the children like Murugan, the husband of vaLLi, Sivan (mukkaNNaan) came to

fight against Emperumaan, in support of VaaNAsuran and even they were made

to run away showing their backs by Emperumaan and the Lord effortlessly cut

the mountain of 1000 shoulders of VaaNan. This greatest oppaaril appan,

Emperumaan is the Nambhi of ThirunaRaiyoor, where the male crab that gets

caught within the Lotus flower comes out later (next day, when it blooms)

crawling towards the female crab, which, on seeing the pollens of lotus

flowers in the male’s mouth gets suspicious and gets into “oodal” (anger?)

and enters into the fields.

 

7. The Lord, who drove the chariot of Arjunan is such a way ensuring the

onslaught of kings (on the enemy side); the One who lifted effortlessly the

nearby mountain when it rained cats and dogs on the cattle and cowherd folks

(as sent by angry Indran); the One who has the sharp strong ChakrAyudham.

This greatest Lord is the Nambhi of ThirunaRaiyoor, where brahmins who learn

four Vedas, who have the ability to perform the five Yaagams, six a~ngas,

seven swarams (of music) stay.

 

8. In order to have Draupathi (Paanchaali) tie her hair (tresses) due to her

vow taken, KaNNan blew the victorious Conch shell, to make the enemy kings

like DuryOdhanan (who rode on strong elephants) get butterflies in stomachs.

He is the Lord of ThirunaRaiyoor, where merciful Brahmins of the likes of

capable Chathur mukha Brahma and Sivan stay permanently.

 

9. “aaRum, piRaiyum, aravamum, adampum, sadai mEl aNindhu udalam neeRum

poosi yEroorum iRaiyOn seNru kuRai yirappa; “. The ganges, the crescent

moon, the snake, the “adampam” flowers are all in his head (sadai); he

applies burnt ashes on his body; the One who rides on a bull (rishabam), is

Sivan. He went and pleaded to remove his grievance and his kabaala (skull)

dhOsham when it got stuck to his hand, which was removed by Emperumaan

Sriman Narayanan. All that He did was to sprinkle a droplet of His most

fragrant, sweat taken from the Divine chest of His and filled the skull.

This greatest unparalleled Lord, SarvEshawaran is the Nambhi of

ThirunaRaiyoor, which is surrounded by most beautiful and fragrant gardens.

 

10. This ten is on the Lord (nambhI) of ThirunaRaiyoor, where the brahmins

whose thinking is only performance of kaimkaryams to Emperumaan. This is

sung by the king of Thirumangai. Those who sing them (knowing its menaings)

will not get their past sins dare stay and /or approach them. Also, they are

sure to attain Parama padham and be surrounded by Nithyasooris lovingly.
