Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

AzhwAr now enjoys ThirumalirunchOlai Emperumaan at ThirukkOshtiyoor. How He

blessed us with so many wonderful avatars and How gracefully He blesses us

with his sowlabhyam guNA showing Himself at ThirukOttiyoor. Let us enjoy

along with AzhwAr’s excellent ten.

 

1. “engaL em iRai; em Piraan; imaiyOrkku naayakan; yEtthu adiyavar/ thanGal

tham manatthup piriyaadhu aruL purivaan- He is our Swami; Parama upakaarakan

-most merciful towards us; Nithyasooris’ Chief -nAthan; He blesses by

staying in the hearts of His devotees, never ever separates from them. He

resides at this temple of ThirukkOttiyoor, which is fertile with red lotus

flowers, which shine with the clouds sprinkling golden (rays of the sun)

particles.

 

2. evva nOi thavirpaan; enakku iRai; innagaitthuvar vaay nilamagaL

sevvithOya vallaan; Thirumaamagatku iniyaan- Our Swami- who can alleviate

our sufferings; He enjoys the beauty of red mouthedm ever smiling BhUmi

PiraaTTi, and He gives happiness to Periya PiraaTTi.

oLLiyaan; uyanrndhaan; ulagu yEzhum unDu umizhndhaan*- He is of white form

during the Krutha yuga; dark form during Kaliyuga; He is of the gem stone

green color (“pacchai maa malai pOl mEni”) during Dwapara yugam; Nithya

sorris’ Lord; (In spite of all such greatness), He showed Himself in His

entirety to us (emakku oLLiyaan); During Cosmic cycle, He ate the worlds and

then spat out; He is here at ThirukkOttiyoor, which is fertile with the

sandal branches being swept aside by the running stream of river waters to

the shores.

 

4. This greatest Lord- Emperumaan- most mercifully, on His own let a part of

His ThirumEni be occupied by Sivan, one who has Ox as his vehicle; who has

the bright shining axe in his hand. He is the beloved Divine Consort of

Periya PiraaTTi. He resides at ThirukkOttoyoor, where youthful bee plays on

fragrant “cheNbagam” and jasmine flowers and drinks the honey.

 

5. vangamaa kadal vaNNan; maa maNi/ vaNNan; viNNavarkOn; madhu maamalar

thongal neeNmudiyaan; nediyaan; madi kadanthaan/ - He is of the form of

large dark ocean; He is like great blue hued gem stone; He is the Swami of

Nithyasoori; He wears honey dripping garland on His head; He is

Sarvaadhikan; (Once) He measured the Earth (He expanded) with His Feet; He

is here at ThirukkOttiyoor, where the white flags, tied onto the gem stone

impregnated top of tall buildings (amidst the clouds), appear to touch the

moon. So beautiful is this sthalam.

 

6. This Lord of ThirukkOttiyoor – My swami- the One who enslaved me,

destroyed the capability of rAvaNan the king of lankA, (who had thought he

is the protector and chief of all worlds), by aiming strong arrows at him.

All kings around the region come here and pay their obeisance to this

Emperuman saying, “This Divya Desam is where Emperumaan comes and resides”,

and Devas come and hold onto Him here.

 

7. kanRu koNdu viLankani yeRindhu; aaniraikku azhivenRu maa mazhai ninRu

kaatthaan; nila maamagatku iniyaan- He dropped the fruits of “viLaam” from

the tree by hitting vathsAsuran against the tree; He saved the cattle from

heavy, torrential downpour by lifting Govardhana mountain effortlessly. By

removing BhUmi Piraatti’s burden, He is the darling and sweet consort of

BhumA Devi. He is here at ThirukkOttoyoor, where the gentle breeze touches

all corners of the place by taking with it, the fragrance of jasmine flowers

and mullai flowers bloomed on mountain.

 

8. He finished off the elephant; He killed the speedy Kesi asurA; He

enslaved this lowly self- adiyEn and relished doing it; He is the Lord of

Nithyasooris; He entered into this samsaaram of adiyEn. He is here at

ThirukkOttoyoor, where ripened mangoes, jackfruits, bananas have fallen on

the river waters in plenty.

 

9. He is the Lord, praised and worshipped by Brahmins who have learnt all

four Vedas (that talk about Emperumaan’s most auspicious GunAs); performed

five yaagas and learnt six Veda angAs; who are greater than the four faced

BrahmA due to their tEjas; who wear yagnOpaveedham (pooNool), who read this

sweet ten poetic tamil pAsurams. He is here at ThirukkOttoyoor.

 

10. This ten is composed by Kaliyan, the king of Thirumangai, admired by

everyone for his horse riding skills. This ten is on the most beautiful,

ThirukkOttoyoor Divya Desam Emperumaan. He is of the blue hued colour like

that of dark clouds. He has unconditional love for His BhakthAs. Those who

read this ten will be blessed to have Parama padham as their place of

permanent residence.
