225) Description of the unparalleled Beauty of Lord VaradarAjan

**************************************************

Iru parithi iyaintha makudamum yezhil mathi thihzhantha vadanamum

iru vahai kuzhaihaLil yethir pora uhantha makarumum

oru tahvu uyarnmtha ThirumahaL oLi maRuvin mannum ahalamum

oru aru umizhntha udharamum ulahu adaya ninRa kazhalkaLum

maruvinidai pongu punal yena malai kuniya ninRa malai yena

marUl aRa viLangum oLi yena malar Ayan uhantha payan yena

aruvil uRaihinRa uyir yena adiyavar uhantha amudhu yena

aru maRaihaL onRi adi thozha aruL Varadar ninRa perumayE

 

BrahmA and DevAs as well as Maharishis were propelled by

wonder and devotion and prostrated before Lord VaradarAjan and

were grateful over their bhAgyam of being the servant of the Lord.

 

(Meaning): The Crown of the Lord shined like the rays of the Sun ;

His auspicious Face (Thiru mukha MaNDalam ) was cool like

the beams of Moon ; the fish-like forms ( Makarams) associated

with the ear ornaments of the Lord faced each other as if they are

ready to engage in combat ; His chest was the abode of both the mole,

SrIvathsam and MahA Lakshmi eternally ; His stomach was the place,

which protected the chEthanams and achEthanams during the time of

the great deluge; His sacred feet served as the refuge of all Janthus.

When we think about the glories of Vedams saluting the sacred feet

of the Lord , we recognize that they consider the Lord as the oasis in

the desert land of SamsAram . They think of Him as the Mountain that

bends the hill of Hasthi Giri with its weight . They think of Him as the

brilliant

tEjas that banishes the ajn~Anam of the people of the world. They recognize

that He is the fruit desired by Brahma Devan and that He is the antharyAmi

Brahmam inside all as well as the divine nectar coveted by the BhAgavathAs.
