Thirucchandhaviruttham- 95th verse- You are the Master of all! Except for You I have none else!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

 

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

AzhwAr says: even if there is a hurdle to enjoy

perceiving You as the One manifested in everything,

You are the One to be worshipped and prayed to for

mercifully dispelling such thoughts as well.

My Swami! Controlling the five senses - which are the

most difficult to regulate and monitor- and plucking

the desires of those sense organs from their roots;

immersing and indulging in enjoying about You and Your

Glories and kalyANa guNAs; and involving and occupying

oneself in the eternal service at Your feet -Please

bless this adiyEn (lowly self) for the same. Even if

You decide to let me indulge in other matters and

desires for the same, I would always ever consider

You- the Reclining lord on Milky Ocean- as the Only

means and Nothing or none else.

The Body, the senses, the prANa, AthmA, and other

auxiliaries - are all You as the antharAThmA in them

[as mentioned in earlier verse 94]; Thus contemplating

the same, with a saatvIka tyAga (that You alone are

carrying out the duties for your pleasure and I am

only an instrument to execute the action)- performing

the actions and duties; and still the strong forceful

senses that pull towards the sensual pleasures are

also controlled with great efforts and difficulty and

taking them and snatching them away from seeking their

respective pleasures or pursuits; Even if I do that

and I have been doing the same for years, there could

still be some kind of desire which would pull me

terribly and I may be trapped in it completely. Even

if [You] enticing me with such desires for senses and

myself getting into the pains and pleasures arising

out of such desires, I would still hold on to You only

as the Means for removing such connection and sorrows

/ desires from me.. I do not have anyone else nor is

anyone else capable of that.

 

Hence, in order to let You continue Your maayam, and

for your sport, You can choose to entice the

jeevathmas, and while doing so, please bless aDiyEn in

not letting my senses go towards worldly desires and

get trapped; Please bless me to have the knowledge of

You being antharyaami in all of them and manifested in

everything at all times and Please be inside my heart

always thus- to remove or prevent me from going

towards seeking such sensual pleasures (in case).

 

kadaRkidantha- For the sake of devotees (Asrithars)

and to fulfil their wants only (to enjoy Your rUpam),

You take avathArams on Milky Ocean.

 

nin alAl- Except You

 

em aNNalE! Our SwamI! Our nAThA! Our Master! You are

SarvEshwaran; It is our role to pray; our nature to

pray to You. Our nature is to be dependent on You; to

pray and look for Your protection and our nature is to

be Your servant (sEshan); our nature is to seek

protection from You and You alone.

 

Your nature is to save us; to protect us; It is Your

swarUpam.. You are the sEshi; We are sEshars; You are

Swami; We are dAsars; You are Sarvagna sEshI

(Omniscient Master); You are rakshakan; we are

rakshyas; You are Saranyan; We are Saranagathars. You

are the Master of all, plants, humans, animals, Devas

[right upto Chathur mukha BrahmA, devendran, Rudran et

al .. ] ….
