Periya Thirumozhi 8.2- uNNum naaLillai; uRakkamum thaanillai; KaNNapuram thozhum

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

The mother of Parakala nAyaki goes on to lament about her daughter's falling

crazy after ThirukkaNNapuram PerumAL.

 

1. The most knowledgeable one- the chief and director of even Devas- the

divine consort of the most beautiful Periya PiraaTTi- the personification of

Suddha sathvam- the most gorgeous golden like form- and such Greatest You-

why do You need to steal my daughter’s bangles? What is that which she did:

all that she did is to pay her anjali towards the direction of your

ThirukkaNNapuram. idhenna anyaayam? (It is unbecoming of such Great You to

have stolen her wrist bangles- .)

 

2. (When Sowriraja PerumAL said, " Your girl does not have the feminine

qualities of shyness..., you need to correct her.. " , the mother says..) I

kept her at the top of the building (in order not to listen to others' and

get influenced), she looked at all directions and looked towards ThirukkaNNa

pura- she gets excited looking at that. She yells, " hey! look at

ThirukkaNNapuram " and rejoices at that. She had even attmpted madal oordhal,

by falling in love with ThirunaRaiyoor Nambhi(He is responsible for her

falling in love with Him). This singer (paaNar) is bent on her such actions

of love for Him. What can I do? (the singer- " paaNar " is supposed to let the

lady join her lover.. by singing love tunes.- Poorvars say AzhwAr meant

AchAryan here.)

 

3. My girl babbles saying " Thiruneermalai, ThiruvEmkatam et al, without

knowing what she is speaking. Thirumeyyam- when she hears she gets

exasperated. She exclaims, " The most welathiest ThirukkaNNapuram " , she melts

at that statement, she gets thinner and thinner; she suffers languishing.

What a pitiable sight to see my daughter suffering like this!

 

4. There is no day, she (enjoys to) likes eating. She does not even sleep

(comfortably); She doe not have even the age (of having been in unison with

her Man and then separated); She is still a young innocent girl. She is

paying obeisance to KaNNan's ThirukkaNNapuram only. Her mind is always on

the ocean like dark bluish most beautiful KaNNan. What is the great wonder

in it! (It is not.- so, why are You troubling her?)

 

5. My girl, who pays her anjali to ThirukkaNNapuram,. where KaNNan resides,

tells me with no " lajjai " (shyness) about her love for You, forgetting her

feminine naaNam. She tells how she longs for You without knowing that she

has to hide such things from the mother. Not just telling. She also acts and

laments and her body fair golden colour complexion has gone pale. When

listening to the butter thief's getting tied down to mortar, she goes crazy.

 

6. She says " We have come here to stay at this place of ThirukkaNNapuram

from the northern Thirumalai. The little girl of yesterday- the most

beautiful feminine one- my darling daughter- what all she is saying and

longing for Emperumaan! What does Emperumaan do to her? This Lord- who had

enjoyed uniting with the cowherd women at Thurvaayarpaadi- for Him, this

poor small, young girl (pEthai- seven year old?)- what will she do? What is

the use of His stealing away her sleep?

 

7. When the noisy wavy ocean makes roaring sounds, and when the cool moon

shower its rays, why does she go thin? How long will she go thin? Is she

getting used to feel suffering like this? Her only desire is the Sriranngam

Divya Desam where the KaNNan stays (who had torn open the horse asuran-

kEsi)

 

8. My girl went to ThirukkaNNapuram seeing the way in which the Bhagawathas

(Your servants) perform their anjali at You and get saved at this sthalam.

Is it right on YOUR PART to steal her golden complexion and make it pale

with such suffering?

 

9. The teeth are also not completely formed (so young she is); (see the 6th

pAsuram) the hair is not even long enough to tie.. She is not even old

enough to have got any feminine beauty to attract her lover (whom she is

desirous of). What can I do now? Others will think and look at me- as the

mother who had such a daughter who pays obeisance to the piLLai (son) of

ThirukkaNNapuram.

 

10. This is ten is on my Swami of ThirukkaNNapuram. It is sung by the chief

of Thirumangai- Parakalan. Those who read this most beautiful, well worded

Tamil pAsurams, will be blessed with: living a long life at ThirukkaNNapuram

listening to this crystal clear Thirumozhi. (means: At parampadham one does

not have ThirukkaNNapuram. So, here only, listen to it..)
