[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

ThirumangaiAzhwAr told his heart “naNNu naRaiyoor naam thozhudhum ezhu

nenjamE” and said “I have seen Him at NaRaiyoor”. Here in this ten he

addresses his mind and says “See to perform kaimkaryam in accordance with

our swaroopam. With that greatest kaimkarya ruchi, AzhwAr performs

saraNAgathy.

 

1. ThirunaRaiyoor, which is famous for the beautiful swans that never

separate themselves from their mates, and drink honey from the lotus flowers

by opening their fresh petals, has got the Most powerful Emperumaan of

ThirunaRaiyoor, the Divine consort of Periya PiraaTTi, the one who had

removed the sin of Sivan, (who had gone begging all three worlds for someone

to save him, in order to get rid of the skull stuck to his hand). Oh mind!

Hold on to the Lotus Feet of SarvEshwaran!

 

2. ThirunaRaiyoor, the place where the heavy conch shells are collected at

the streets (as swept aside from the salty shores from the ocean), has got

the Sarvagnan Emperumaan, the One who had aimed the arrows effortlessly and

victoriously at strong rAvaNan and cut his ten heads. Oh mind! Hold His

Feet!

 

3. ThirunaRaiyoor, the place which is full of beautiful gardens, in which

the honey floods the whole area from the jack fruits and the banana trees

are seen full of bananas; has got the greatest Emperumaan, the One who had

eaten not only the butter (veNNai) that the cowherd women made; also the

three worlds themselves (during MahApraLayam). Oh mind! Hold His Lotus Feet!

 

4. ThirunaRaiyoor, the welathy place where the tall buidlings are seen with

flags of silk cloth, hoisted on their tops, which hide even the skies; has

got the most wonderful Emperumaan, who had danced with the pot; who had

lifted the huge mountain effortlessly on His little finger. Oh mind! Hold

His Lotus Feet!

 

5. The agil branches, sandal branches, the pearls and golden particles are

all swept aside by the beautiful heavy currents of river cauvery at

ThirunaRAiyoor banks; This beautiful ThirunaRaiyoor, has got the Most

Accharya bhUthan Emperumaan, who had hidden the lustrous sun with His ChakrA

in the battlefield; who had retained all seven worlds in His stomach without

anyone knowing it at all; Oh mind! Hold on to His most charming Lotus Feet!

 

6. The gold, pearl, the nails of lions, the huge elephants’ tusk, are all

brought in (the moment a lightning is spotted in the west) by the huge

currents and waves of river cauvery (due to great floods) at ThirunaRayoor,

where Emperumaan stays always; the One who blissfully has the most beautiful

Periya PiraaTTi, in His Chest always; Oh mind! Hold on to His tender flower

like sweet Feet!

 

7. The sugar cane plants are seen to have grown in between the ponds full of

lotus flower, and the paddy fields; This place has Emperumaan staying here

permanently, the One who has got the darkest clouds like colour; the Chief

of Devas; KaNNan, who has Thirutthuzhaay on His Head; Oh mind! Hold the

beautiful tender Feet of His!

 

8. The ripened fruits, (in the plants and trees), the not yet ripened

fruits, are all found in the most fertile ThirunaRaiyoor, the place where

the tall buildings are seen like huge mountains, the place where Emperumaan

stays permanently. Oh mind! Hold His Lotus Feet to enjoy Them.. here.

 

9. ThirunaRaiyoor, the most auspicious place where the whole place is

covered by the vast smoke crated due to the yaagmas that are performed by

Vedic scholars in full accordance with vedas and saasthras. Emperumaan the

One who stands here at SarvEshawaran, ParamAthmA, the One who is worshipped

by Sivan (who has the crescent moon on his head), and the four face BramhA.

Oh mind! Hold on to His Feet!

 

10. This ten is on ThirunaRaiyoor, surrounded by tall ramparts; It is

composed by the one resides in Thirumangai. Those who read this musical,

literary work of ten pAsurams, will be blessed to join the Nithya sooris by

entering into Parama padham which is grander and greater than even Swargam.
