[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

The Nayaki (Parakala nAyaki) calls the birds and pleads them to make her

join her Lord. (Rhyming words.. please read pAsurams)

 

1.Thirutthaay chempOtthE! *

thirumaamagaL thankaNavan*

marutthaar tholpugazh madhavanai varatth*

thirutthaay chempOtthE!

 

Oh ChembOtthu bird (ChembOtthu is a kind of bird, also called “kaLLi

kaakai”)! Periya PiraaTTi-Mahalakshmi’s Consort, Sri Vallabhan; the One who

wears ever fragrant garland; who is the SaraNyan; SarvEshawarn, by name

Madhavan. Please (make sound) call so that He comes here. Please call.

 

2. Karaiyaai kaakkaipiLLai!*

karumaamugil pOl niRatthan*

uraiyaar tholpugazh utthamanai varak*

karaiyaay kaakkaip piLLai*

 

Oh helpful Crow! The One who is of the dark cloud black color; who is the

Greatest One, unparalleled Utthaman, praised by one and all as the Chief-

Please crow so that He comes here; Please crow.

 

3.Koovaay poonkuyilE!*

kuLirmaari thadutth ugantha*

maavaay keeNdamaNi vaNNanai varak*

koovaay poonkuyilE!*

 

Oh beautiful cuckoo! Please coo for KaNNapiraan, who is handsome like gem

stone; who tore the beak of PakAsuran; who rejoiced protecting the cattle

and cowherd folks from the heavy torrential downpour- to come. Please coo.

 

4. kottaay pallikkutti!*

kudamaadi ulagaLantha*

mattaar pponkuzhal maadhavanai varak*

kottaay pallikkutti!

 

Oh lizard kutti! Please sound for the One who danced with pots; who measured

the universe; who has the black tresses adorned with most fragrant honey

laden flowers- Madhavan to come. Please sound.

 

5. sollaay painkiLiyE!*

sudar aazhi valan uyarttha*

mallaarthOL vadavEnkatavanaivarach*

chollaay paikiLiyE!

 

Oh youthful parrot! Please speak a word to let SarvEshwaran, the One who

stands mercifully and gracefully at ThiruvEmkatam, who has strong shoulders;

who has resplendent ChakrA in His Hand- come. Please speak.

 

6. kOzhi koovennumaal*

thOzhi! Naan en seyghEn?

Aazhi vaNNar varum pozhudhaayiRRu*

KOzhi koovennumaal.

 

Oh friend! The hen (that usually coos sound in the wee hours) calls. That

means the day is going to dawn. Happy. But, ocean like colored KaNNapiraan

will come. But, alas! The hen that coos for the next yaamam (for the next

phase of time) also coos. Means: He will go away from me. What will I do?

(He comes when one hen coos; He will go way when the next one coos; Oh no!

the next one also coos; what will I do?)

 

7. kaamaR ken kadavEn?*

karumaamugil vaNNaRkallaal*

poomElai~n kaNaikOtthup pugundheyyak*

kaamaR ken kadavEn?

 

The dark cloud colored KaNNapiraan sowed the seeds of love for Him in me. On

top of it, the cupid also sends the bunch of five arrows from his sugar cane

bow, which aggravates my languishing for Him. What can I do for that

manmathan?

 

8. inghE pOdhunkolO?*

inavEl nedu~nkaN kaLippak*

kongaarchOlaik kudanthaik kidanthamaal*

inghE pOdhunkolO?

 

The Lord who reclines at Thirukkudanthai (surrounded by beautiful gardens)-

sarvEshwaran- will He show Himself here at this place for these long spear

like eyes (to be blessed) with fullest happiness of seeing His ThirumEni?

Will He come here?

 

9. innaar enRu aRiyEn*

annE! Aazhiyodum*

ponnaar saarngamudaiya adigaLai*

innaar enRu aRiyEn.

 

Oh mother! (ammA!- annE!) This Swami who has come here with the most

beautiful Conch, divine ChakrA in His Hand. I don’t know who He is. I don’t

know who He is.

 

10.thoNdeer! PaaduminO*

surumbaar pozhil mangaiyarkOn*

oNdaar vElkaliyan oli maalaigaL*

thoNdeer paaduminO*

 

Oh Bhagawathas! Sing this ten-the garland of words composed by Kaliyan,

having lovely garland and spear, the chief of Thirumangai. Bhagawathas! Sing

this ten.

 

(I remember my grandmother singing this ten every morning when I was

studying in secondary school.- great ten- rhyming, simple ten with sweet

tune. Kaliyan Kaliyanthaan.)
