Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

" Oh clouds which appear on the tiruvE~nkaTa Hills

during the rainy season! I keep chanting with great

with viraha tAPam the various names of

tiruvENkaTamuDaiyAn, who supports His devotees by even

going to the battle front and fighting for them. In

this process, I have become weak and feeble like the

dry, parched, summer leaves that fall down as soon as

the rain falls on them. Even if He doesn't come today,

can He not give His word that He will come to me at

least sometime in the near future? "

 

Additional thoughts from SrI PVP:

 

kAr kAlattu ezhuginRa kAr mugilgAL: " Even though He

did not come in the rainy season as He had promised, I

am glad that at least you came in that time bearing

the color of His tirumEni. I am at least soothed by

your hue that reminds me of His tirumEni. So you are

most welcome here " . Just as the clouds appear only at

the appropriate (rainy) season with their dark hue, He

also appears only when His devotees are in dire need

of Him and obtains His color (greatness) by helping

His devotees and destroying their enemies.

 

pEr Solli..vIzhvEnai: " I thought that chanting His

tirunAmam will lift me up in my hard times; but

instead, this has only become the cause of my

awareness of my intense despair because of separation

from Him. Just as the parched leaves fall down

immediately when the rain drops fall on them, I falter

and fall down as soon as I utter His name. "

vAr kAlattu - This refers to some time in the future.

 

SrI kr*shNasvAmi iye~ngAr gives reference to the

nighanTu - vArdal, pOdal, ozhugal ivai neDumaiyAgum.

tam vAcakam tandu aruLArE: " Even though He is

determined not to come to me and show His face, is He

also determined not to utter even a word to me? " . SItA

pirATTi said to hanumAn that communicating her message

to rAma will give hanumAn great puNyam " vAcA dharmam

avApnuhi " - sundarakANDam 39-10 - " get puNyam by your

words (conveyed to rAma) " . godai is telling her

messengers (the clouds) to attain puNyam by

communicating her message to bhagavAn.

 

Additional thoughts from SrI PBA:

 

pOr kAlattu ezhundaRuLip porudavanAr: " He who took to

the battlefield and came out victorious " . Lord rAma

took His incarnation in order to help His devotees who

were suffering intensely because of rAvaNa, took to

the battlefield and came out victorious by destroying

the enemy of His devotees.
