Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

We are entering into the eleventh decad of Periya Thirumozhi! In 10.10,

Parakala nAyaki had asked the birds to go as messengers and now with the

breeze piercing through her body, she suffers from the pangs of love.

 

1. The Lord- who has lifted effortlessly the mountain as an umbrella, saving

the cattle and cowherd folks from torrential downpour- Swami- One who had

won in the battle against asurAs with His mighty Divine Bow- is now sought

after by this gentle breeze too, that has come to my place and pierces

thorough me, like the fire ball. What can I do?

 

2. The Lord- who is of dark black cloud colour; and is of the cool vast

ocean; - I adore SarvEshwaran, whose thuLasi garland adorned Divine

beautiful chest. Is that why I am suffering from this punishment of

languishing from the cool breeze that comes from the droplets form those

dark clouds, which aggravates my suffering further?

 

3. The cool rays of that bright moon torture my body, which is losing the

wrist bangles and the fair complexion due to my suffering. What can I do? It

appears as if the most fragrant thuLasi garland of SarvEshwaran (who is of

the bright white form of wavy ocean) appears to be saying “Have you already

started for coming here?”

 

4. When the aayarpaadi was engulfed with the darkness and the fear of

Kamsan, there the cunning demon Poothanai entered as mother to feed her

poisonous breast milk to KaNNan, who sucked her poisonous milk along with

her life too. Are these cool moon rays roaring towards me aping great Kutti

KaNNan?

 

5. Is the ocean lamenting with noisy waves because the moon, born of the

ocean, is left loitering in the sky, by SarvEshwaran, who effortlessly tore

the strong body of HiraNyan, into two pieces, when He appeared as Lord

Nrusimhan, for saving Prahalada?

 

6. The Lord of great valor, went to the enemy’s den of lankA, and destroyed

the city with his Divine Bow. The shrill voice of this anRil bird (from that

nest, made of lotus stems, flower petals, stems etc.) praising the valour of

His is torturing me further terribly.

 

7. The arrow from that cupid, who has five arrows and the sugar cane bow,

torments me as its only target. Is this the punishment for paying my

obeisance to SarvEshwaran who shows Himself on GarudA; who is of the colour

of blue hue?

 

8. My heart longs and searches for SarvEshwaran, and aids my prEmam (love)

for Him. His most beautiful, most fragrant thuLasi garland on His Chest has

also become an object of my mind. This cool breeze, also tortures me (along

with that fragrance) and alas! I cannot last any more.

 

9. keNdaiyoN kaNum thuyilum enniRam/

paNdu paNdu pOl okkum* mikka seerth/

thoNdar itta poon thuLavin vaasamE/

vaNdu koNdu vandhu oodhumaagilE.

 

If the bees drink the fragrance of thuLasi leaves offered by Srivaishnavas

(of auspicious attributes), and blow towards me, my large darting, fish like

eyes, will automatically close and sleep peacefully. My fair tender-mango

complexion will also be back.

 

10. When PANdavaas suffered, He went as messenger and about such

(sowlabhyam) greatness of SarvEshwaran, this ten is composed. It is sung by

Kaliyan, the chief of Thirumangai. Those who recite will not have any

grievance /sorrows at all.
