Mother , who bears the world of sentients and insentients and

has the name of Kshamaa to denote the highest quality of patience !

and stationary entities ( sTira CharAthmakam Viswam Bibhrathy )

and threfore is saluted as " ViswanmbharA " . She has immeasurable

patience ( Kashamaa) . She bears with all our aparAdhams befitting

Her name , " Sarvam Sahaa " . She is the MOther of the world ( " Thvam

MaathA Sarva lOkAnAM PaadhanyAsam Kashamasva mE " : Sage Sounakar's

words ) . KurEsar wishes to offer his homage to this dhivya Dampathies

for the removal of the deep dark night ( KaaLa Raathri) of SamsAra

bhandham . KurEsar prays for the anugraham of AruNOdhayam of

(Meaning) : May NeeLA DEvi of immeasurable generosity ,

who matches You in every aspect -- magnificient and

auspicious thoughts , countless playful acts , the movement of

Her brows , sly glances and naturally blemish free smiles--

accept my kaimkaryams !

 

(Commentary ) : In Vaikuntam , Parama Padha NaaTan is accompanied by

His three devis ( SrI , BHUmi and NeeLA Devis). KurEsar offered his eulogies

earlier to Sri DEvi in three slOkams , BhU DEvi in the last slOkam and

salutes NeeLA DEvi in this slOkam . The presence of the Lord with His

three dEvis as been saluted by SamhithAs and AchAryAs . YathirAjar in Gadhya

Thrayam visualizes this scene at Vaikuntam : " asankhyEya KalyANa guNaguna

SrI Vallabha ! yEvambhUtha BhUmi-NeeLA Naayaka ! " . SrI Devi carries

the red lotus in Her hand ; BhUmi Devi adorns red lilly flower in Her hand ;

NeelA Devi carries white lilly in He rhand . NeelA Devi is known therefore

as

" Alli Malar MahaL " . With Her dhivya soundharyam and love , She has

the Lord under Her control , when it comes to Him agreeing on forgiving

the sins of ChEtanam and grant him Sathgathy . Her power over Her Lord

is saluted as " Alli Malar Mahal BhOga MayakkuhaL " . KurEsar here prays for

NeeLA Devi's anugraham to perform Nithya Kaimkaryam to Her and Her Lord

through the use of Her influence over Her Lord .

atyadhbhutai : abhinavairabhimanandhya Devee:

bhruthyAn yaTOchithaparicchadhinO yaTArham

sambhAvayantham abhithO Bhagavann ! bhavEyam

 

(Meaning) : Oh Bhgavann ! May adiyen surround You on all sides

as You recieve the Kaimkaryams of Nithya Sooris and honor

them for those properly executed Kaikmkaryams ! May adiyEn be

blessed to be close to You in all four directions as You gladden

the hearts of Your PirAttis with leelas filled with wonderous

SrungAra rasam that change from minute to minute and

appear to be made just for that occasion !

 

(Commentary ) : Lord has three DEvis and shows equal affection

towards every one of them . His prEma Bhandham to them is of

equal measure . KurEsar longs for a similar level of affection from

the Lord as one of " Sthre PrAyam " . He prays for the soubhAgyam of

pressing the Lord's tender feet just as Mahaa Lakshmi and

BHUmi Devi do although he is unfit as a Mahaa Paapi : " VadiviNai illaa

Malar MahaL maRRa NilamahaL pidikkum melladiyai koduvinayEnum

pidikka " .

 

SlOkam 84

haa hantha hantha! hathakOasmi khalOasmi dhingmAm

muhyan ahO! ahamidham kimuvAcha vaachA

Thvamanga ! mangaLa-guNAspadham astha hEyam

aa: smarthumEva kaTamarhathy maadhrugamha:

 

(Meaning) : Oh Bhagavann ! adiyEn is like a dead one . Strange

indeed ! adiyEn is a fool , who is increasing his paapams more

and more . adiyEn , who is despicable should be condemned

for my lowliness . adiyEn has not spoken about Your glories

even at the lip level . What a pity ? How can a person of my

neecha svabhAvam and sins can even think about You ,

who is the abode of all auspicious guNams and blemishless ?

 

(Commentary ) : From here on with number of slOkams , KurEsar

expresses his Naicchiyam ( statement of his lowliness) as he stands

before the Lord in the spirit of the AzhwArs : " NeesanEn niRaivonRumilEn " .

KurEsar and the AzhwArs do not have these neecha vrutthi ( lowly ways);

they express themselves this way as an angam of SaraNAgathy ( angam of

KaarpaNyam) .

amha: prasahya vinigruhya visOdhya Bhuddhim

vyApooya viswamasivam janushAanuBaddham

aadhAya sadhguNagaNAn api naahamarha:

Thvat paadhayO: yadhaham athra chirAnnimagana:

 

(meaning) : Oh Bhagavann! adiyEn is unfit to rest at Your

sacred feet even if all my sins from many births are removed

and adiyEn gains true Jn~Anam through the firm control of all

my misdeeds . This unfitness arises form the immersion in

these assembly of sins for countless time .

 

(Commentary) : The expression of Naicchiyam continues in

this slOkam . Kuresar refers to the huge assembly of sins

accumulated from many janmAs and asks the Lord a question :

When will it be that adiyEn with Your anugraham get all these sins

destroyed and stand before You to perform Nithya Niravadhya

Kaimkaryam to You at Your Supreme abode ? He bases this Paasuram

on AzhwAr Paasuram pasage " nORRa nOnbhilEn , nuNNaRivilEn ,

aahilum Unnai vittonRum aaRRakiRkkinRilEn " .
