Periya Thirumozhi- 11.4- His Feet crossing the upper world is the One to save us

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

When Parakalanayaki (ThirumangaiAzhwAr ) expressed Her happiness of being

blessed to offer flowers at the feet of the Lord of Thiruvaali (in the last

ten), Emperumaan says: Is the archAvathAram alone is our coming into our

Earth? No. I had taken many avtaars (vibhava avtaars like Rama, Krishna et

al) in order to show myself to devotees and move with them. AzhWar immerses

himself into the greatness of vibhvaavtaars. “He will never leave us. He is

so merciful” says AzhwAr.

 

1. There was waters everywhere during praLayam, and it engulfed even deva

lOkams. They (Devas) went and prayed to the Lord (as there is none else

above Him to save them) “There is no rakshakam for us” (maRRu emakkOr saraN

illai). “I will be your rakshakan (araN aavan) said the most merciful Lord.

He took a Huge Fish form (mathsyam), making the wavy oceans under His

stomach get churned; having the mountains on His back. Pay obeisance to this

SarvEshwaran all times without fail, oh mind! (maRavaadhu iRainju en mananE)

 

2. The most strongest, shining Vasuki snake became the rope for the Lord.

Sending shivers through everyone on the earth and Deva lokams, the Lord, (in

order to enable Devas and asurAs to churn the milky ocean), took the Huge

manthara mountain on His Back, as Koorma avtaar (Huge Tortoise), so that the

mountain will not topple. Inaddition, He also held the mountain firm. Such

Greatest SarvEshwaran is our unparalleled Rakshakan, the most merciful Lord,

who is the Divine Consort of PiraaTTi. (Thirumaal namakkOr araNE..)

 

3. Emperumaan took HUGE Varaaha (Boar) avtaar, with the cool, sweet, moon,

the hot sun, Devas, the seven Deva lokams, the mEru mountain, the six kula

parvathams (mountains), seven oceans, and all others at the same time

staying underneath His toe nails (kaal kuLambu). (This is to imagine

/perceive the size of Boar). He grew so Huge. He is the Primary Cause of

these worlds. He is the Savior of these worlds. (Rakshakan). This Varaha

moorthy is the Lord- the King, enslaving and ruling us. (Adhi mun yEnamAgi

araNaaya moorthy- adhu nammai Alum arasE)..

 

4. This PerumAn is the One who took Nrusimha avtaar, when Prahalada was

undergoing suffering. The flower garland that hung upto the thighs, moving

from side to side; the ruddy lined two eyes, sending fiery sparks from them

with anger and ferocity, He came as Narasinga Roopi. He tore effortlessly

the strongest body of HiraNyan (who had obtained his strength from chathur

mukha brahmA with his penance) and killed him. The flood of blood from

HiraNyan’s body became three times the deluge waters during mahApraLayam

even. (read this pAsuram with rhyming Tamil- and the strong words to reflect

the ferocity and speed of Narasimhan) (piLavazha vitta kutta madhvaiya moodu

peru neeril mummai peridhE)

 

5. Emperumaan, as little dwarf (in Vaamana avtaar), walked into the

yaagasaalai of mahAbhali, the strong one about whom everyone on the earth

and in Deva lokam was fearing. He became a small brahmachari, who recite

Vedas and who knows the Vedic truth, who recite Vedas and perform

ansuhatanams in accordance with vedas, and begged three measures of earth

from bhali. While obtaining what he asked for, He grew SO HUGE and tall

taking Trivikrama avtaar, enabling Chathur mukha brahMA and the Moon paying

their obeisance at His Feet (in the sky) from their respective positions.

This Lotus Feet that had crossed all the upper worlds is the only one that

can save us. (antharam yEzhinoodu selavuyttha paadham adhu nammai Alum

arasE.)

 

6. SarvEshwaran, (The Divine Consort of BhUmi PiraaTTi, The Chief of Periya

PiraaTTi, the Nirvaahakan of the most Beautiful NeeLa dEvi, the One who took

the entire Universe during praLayam in His stomach and brought it back

after, through His large mouth), took ParasurAma avtaar, and destroyed the

21 generations of adharmic (non- virtuous) kings, with His Parasu (plough)

by walking in the battle fields. This Emperumaan alone saves us at all

times, enslaving us. We are His eternal servants is the meaning.

 

7. In order to separate PiraaTTi (SitA- the darting, spear like eyed, most

beautiful One), rAvaNan hiding near the hut (parNa saalai) sent the

maareechan as a most beuatiful golden deer. “Oh such a great looking

wonderful pretty deer”- wondered SitA PiraaTTi and Rama piraan killed this

deer, chasing the same. Also He destroyed the lankA of most cruel rAvaNan by

aiming string of arrows in the battlefield. This most strongest merciful

Lord, is the Divine Consort of Periya PiraaTTi (who is our mediatrix

recommending our case to this SarvEshwaran). This Lord if our unparalleled

Protector.

 

8. When the darkness engulfed the seven worlds once, Devas, not knowing the

cause and solution for the darkness, wondering as to what is the reason for

the same, when will it ever end, - the most beautiful (yezhil) sacred Vedas

had been snatched away and captured by asuran and disappeared. The Lord,

again blessed and saved the Devas by taking Hamsa avtaar (Swan) got the

Vedas back and blessed Devas and Sages with Vedic Dharma saashtrams. This

Parama jyOthi, is the King who always rules us. We are His servants

eternally.

 

9. Oh devotes who are interested to know Bhagavath vishayam! Pay obeisance

to Emperumaan without considering that there is some other hold for us other

than Him. His leelAs are: He sucked the poisonous breast of Poothanai, who

had actually come in disguise to kill the infant Kutti KaNNan; He got

Himself tied down to a mortar by His mother YashOdhA and he crawled dragging

the strong mortar also along with Him, went in between the two trees to

break them. Such greatest most wonderful Emperumaan alone is the One who can

bless us to get all our sins removed. It is certain.

 

10. This ten is about the greatness of Srivallabhan, Our Master- the One who

had sent the fiery arrows from his Divine Bow at lanKA and crushed the same;

who had killed the huge strong, cruel Kuvalayaapeetam elephant. It is

composed by Kaliyan of Thirumangai. Those who sing this ten as their

pastime, will be blessed to rule the Parama padham
