Periya Thirumozhi 10.7- Liar, Cheater, reservoir of “KaLLatthanam- That is He.

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Gone are the days when the veNNai (butter) alone was found missing. Now in

addition to butter, the young girls are also found missing in aayarpaadi.

The cowherd women come to YashodhA and complain. She also talks to them.

AzhwAr is giving an excellent narration thereby on the converstation. Let us

enjoy the Thirudan’s leelAs.

 

1. “KaNNA! Your kulam (aayar kulam) is well known. Hence, do not act lowly

with other girls”- I pleaded to Him. I never talk harsh word to Him; nor

does Nandhan speak. Oh women folks! What can I do? He is churing curd along

with one girl in that eastern house, it appears (in spite of all my sermon)

 

2. Early morning, I was out in the street for selling butter milk. KaNNan

was coming opposite. I was worried as to what He was upto. Except for the

most fragrant haired KaNNan, the son of NandhagOpan, none else entered into

my house. Oh YashOdhA! Come and see what KaNNan has done. Not only the

butter! All ten pots of milk also are missing from their pots. What can this

paapi do now? What can I do?

 

3. This little Boy, who has crystal clear mouth due to the nectar that keeps

flowing out in His mouth as sulliva- after eating, with both his hands, the

entire butter, which was like a silver heap inside the pot, He (pretends)

sleeps, hiding His mischief. The Hands are full of butter and Ghee. The

stomach is so huge as if it is capable of retaining all seven worlds; This

fool- (I), what can I do? (Tell me).

 

4. The dark, spear like eyed beautiful lady’s son- Balaraman is of white

Conch like colour. He has divine resplendent ThirumEni. This Boy’s

(KaNNan’s) elder Brother is He. This Balaraman had grown here so nicely. He

never used to such mischief. This KaNNan is full of great qualities like

telling lies. Cheater; Reservior of “KaLLatthanam” (mischief); what a way he

crawls! (so gracefully!) Such ParipooraNan (Fullest person, with all Bad

qualities in their entirety)- with Him here at Ayyarpaadi- how can we

(cowherd folks) get saved (!). What can I do? What can I do?

 

5. Oh YashOdhA! This girl’s father did not enter into the house; nor was I

at home. There were no girl friends too at home. My young girl- who has

fragrant flower in her hair- was playing with a ball- This KaNNan went to

her place (where she was playing) and snatched away the ball, and tore her

dress too. What can we do on this son of Nandha gOpan (he, being our chief).

What can I do? What can I do?

 

6. Oh YashOdhA! The Divine consort of BhUmi PiraaTTi- The Naayakan of Periya

PiraaTTi, seated on the Lotus flower- the little darling of NandhagOpan-

Sarva sEshI- such Greatest KaNnan- last night came to our place where our

huts are, blowing a small leaf, rolled as flute. After that my girl’s

situation is: her lotus like eyes have become ruddy, and tired; her breasts

appear engorged; her lotus mouth appears pale; her complexion has become

pale. What can I do? What can I do?

 

7. Your son- what did He do? During the festival celebrated for thousand

eyed Indra, there were thousands of food items in huge vessels, brought in

bullock carts for offering to DevEndran. You son, went there, took huge form

and finished all items of food taking them in both hands and gulped them all

and he stood as if He had not done anything at all.

 

8. YashOdhA tells them..”Those cowherd folks come to me saying “the just

fermented fresh curd, the freshly melted Ghee- the milk, will all be drunk

from each of its container by KaNNan”. I get terribly embarrassed and tell

Him.. “Please do not do any such mischief”. I cannot even scold Him, women

folks! I am afraid of scolding Him, after His drinking the breast milk of

Poothanai.

 

9. This ParipoorNan- the strongest child- the most Handsome Boy- on the

seventh day after His birth, I made Him (adorned with the garland made of

dense petals ) sleep and went to yamuna river for taking bath. This infant-

the most Youthful Lord, who has Sri vathsam and PiraaTTi in His Chest,

kicked with His small Foot, a giant wheel (sakatAsuran)- that crawled

towards Him, like a mountain -and crushed the same to pieces. After being

aware of such strength of this Boy’s, I am afraid of scolding Him.

 

10. Oh women folks! I am afraid of even calling Him addressing His mischief.

KaNNA! The boys of your age- for their consumption, the ghee is filled in

1000 vessels and not even 50% is available now due to Your eating. Kamsan is

also very cruel. The tax that is to be paid to him is due in next eight

days. I do not have any other savings (of butter) too. Your acts are

terribly hurting my heart KaNNA. what can I do? What can I do?

 

11. KaNNA! NambhI! Why should you act like that towards cowherd girls also?

When they go for taking bath in that lotus pond, you went behind, hide

yourself and took away their clothes. When such narrow waisted girls asked

for their clothes back, “Oh beautiful girls! You come and take from my

place” and climbed to the treetop. (KaNNA! yENdaa ippadi yellaam paNNRE!)

 

12. This Boy is not afraid or scared of anything. He is full of masculinity

and bravery. Since I am His darling mother who looks after Him lovingly

(ucchi mOndhu), He is not telling me anything. Today what He has done is: He

climbed on top of Kadambha tree and jumped into a water reservoir, and

fought with the terribly venomous 1000 mouthed KaaLingan snake, that exhales

poison and came back.

 

13. KaNNA, the One who gives me pride! Why should You do those acts that

others can not even dream of (leave alone doing). Seeing such hair raising

deadly acts of Yours- how can I bear (for having had You in my womb- (peRRa

vayiRu) – what can I do? You are playing with the ruddy eyed, dark bulls,

(which make thunderous roars sending shivers through all seven worlds), in

that ever-beautiful garden.

 

14. The One who walks like the beautiful Swan- the feminine YashOdhA-,

narrated worriedly beating her stomach (vayiRRil aditthu), with utter

helplessness, was so scared and afraid of fearsome, deadly act of killing

the huge dark strong elephant Kuvalayaapeetam by the most beautiful,

strongest KaNNan- is sung by Kaliyan, king of Thirumangai, (surrounded by

tall strong ramparts), praised by one and all for his guNAs. Those who

recite (or read) this 14 pAsurams will have ABSOLUTELY no grievance or

sorrows.
