 *PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI 3.1*

PASURAMS 223 – 233

THANERAYIRAM


Considering the divine deeds of Krishna, YashOdA fears to feed Him, as she realises that He is no ordinary child. At the end of each verse AzhwAr repeats, "unakku anjuvan ammam taravE”


223: thannEraayiram piLLaikaLOdu* thaLar n^adaiyittu varuvaan*

ponnEy n^eyyodu paalamudhuNdu* oru puLLuvan poyyE thavazhum*

minnEr n^uNNidai vaNYjamahaL koNGgai thuNYja* vaay vaiththa piraanE!*

annE! unnai aRindhuhoNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* (2) 1.


223.Relaxedly you come toddling along with several children of your age, eat the milkrice along with the golden coloured ghee and mischievously come crawling to embrace me. Oh! My Lord you killed the guileful POtana who came with a hip like lightening, by drinking her milk. I now realise you are not an ordinary child and so I am scared to nurse you. (1)


224: ponpOl maNYjanamaatti amudhootti pOnEn* varumaLavu ippaal*

vanpaara chakadam iRachchaadi* vadakkil aham pukkirundhu*

minpOl n^uNNidaiyaal oru kanniyai* vERRuruvam seydhuvaiththa*

anbaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 2.


224. I went out after giving you bath and feeding you. Before I could return, kicking away the heavy cart, You killed shakaTAsuran. Entering a house in the north you changed the figure of a young girl with her waist like lightning. Oh! Dear, I realise who you are now and am scared to nurse you. (2)


225: kummaayaththodu veNNey vizhuNGgi* kudaththayir saayththup paruhi*

poymmaaya marudhaana asurarai* ponRu viththu inRu n^ee vandhaay*

immaayam valla piLLai n^ambee!* unnai enmahanE enbar n^inRaar*

ammaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 3.


 225. Oh! Mischievous child, Maya Nambi!gobbling the sweet dish KummAyam along with butter, you overturned the pots drinking the curds too. Felling down the Maruda trees thereby killing the disguised demons, you now stand innocently. People think that you are my son. Being your mother, I very well realise who you are and so am scared to nurse you. (3)

Kummayam is the famous chettinadu special dish mentioned by Azhwar. This is made of urud dal, moong dal, rice and jaggery


226: maiyaarkaN madavaaychchiyar makkaLai* maiyanmai seydhu avar pin pOy*

koyyaar poondhuhil paRRi thani n^inRu* kuRRam palapala seydhaay*

poyyaa! unnaip puRam palapEsuva* puththahaththukuLa kEttEn*

aiyaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 4


226. Charming the kohl eyed young cowherd girls, You snatched and pulled their pleated saree. Oh! My Lord, dear trickster! Volumes of complaints by others can be published about the numerous mischiefs that You cause to them. After listening to all those magic deeds, I very well realise who you are and so am scared to nurse you. (4)


227: muppOdhum kadaindhu eeNdiya veNNeyinOdu* thayirum vizhuNGgi*

kappaal aayarhaL kaavil koNarndha* kalaththodu saayththu paruhi*

meyppaaluNda azhu piLLaihaL pOla* nee vimmi vimmi azhuhinRa*

appaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 5.


227. Oh! Lord, You gobble the curd and butter churned throughout the day. Tilting it down You drink the milk from the pot that the cowherd folks bring on their shoulders. You still cry for the mother’s milk like a child deficient for it. I very well realise who you are now and so am scared to nurse you.  (5)


228: karumbaar n^eeLvayal kaaykadhir chen^n^elai* kaRRaan^irai maNdi thinna*

virumbaa kanRonRu koNdu* viLaNGgani veezha eRindha piraanE!*

surumbaar menkuzhal kanni oruththikku* choozhvalai vaiththu thiriyum*

arambaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 6.


228.when the cows and the calves were grazing the paddy, which was as tall as sugarcane, You spotted the single calf which was not interested in eating and threw it on the vilva tree for the fruits to fall, thus killing the demon vatsAsuran. You tempted a young girl having tresses adorned with bee swarming flowers to fall for you with your alluring smile. I know you are not an ordinary child. I very well realise who you are now and so am scared to nurse you. (6)


229: maruttaar menkuzhal koNdu pozhil pukku* vaay vaiththu avvaayar thampaadi*

suruttaar menkuzhal kanniyar vandhu unnai* chuRRum thozha n^inRa sOdhi!*

poruttaayamilEn_ emberumaan!* unnai peRRa kuRRamallaal* maRRiNGgu-

arattaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 7.


229. Oh! My lord , You enter an isolated grove and play the flute melodiously with your mouth, enticing the cowherd girls with curly tresses. They surround you, engrossed in your music. O dear child, my only fault is that I have given birth to you. Otherwise, I have no material connection here. I very well realise who you are now and so am scared to nurse you. (7)


230: vaaLaavaahilum kaaNahillaar* piRar makkaLai maiyanmai seydhu*

thOLaalittu avarOdu thiLaiththu* nee sollappadaadhana seydhaay*

kELaar aayar kulaththavar ippazhi kettEn!* vaazhvillai* nandhan-

kaaLaay! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 8.


230. Even if you keep quiet, the jealous people would love to see you not believing you. You lure the cowherd girls, embrace them, and do mischiefs which cannot be revealed outside. They blame me, I can listen to them no more. Oh bull of Nanda,I very well realise who you are now and so am scared to nurse you. (8)


231: thaaymaar mOr viRkap pOvar* thahappanmaar kaRRaan^iRai pinbu pOvar*

nee aayppaadi iLaNGgannimaarhaLai* n^ErpadavE koNdu pOdhi*

kaayvaarkku enRum uhappanavE seydhu* kaNdaar kazhaRaththiriyum*

aayaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammam tharavE.* 9.


231.You captivate and take the young AyarpAdi girls, when the mothers go to sell buttermilk and fathers go behind grazing the cows. Such deeds of yours gives happiness to those who wait to insult you. On the other hand, those who care about you, advise you not to do so. Oh, dear child of mine, ,I very well realise who you are now and so am scared to nurse you. (9)


232: thoththaar pooNGguzhal kanniyoruththiyai* sOlai thadam koNdu pukku*

muththaar koNGgai puNarndhu iraa n^aazhikai* moovEzhu senRapin vandhaay*

oththaarkku oththana pEsuvar*unnai urappavE n^aan onRum maattEn*

aththaa! unnai aRindhu koNdEn* unakku aNYjuvan ammamtharavE.* 10.


232. Taking a young girl decked with bunch of flowers on her hair along into a grove, you spent three quarters of the night with her and came back very late Yesterday. People will gossip about this and talk stories. I am unable to control you. Realising your divinity, am scared to nurse you. (10)


PHALA SRUTHI. 

233: kAraar mEni n^iRaththu embiraanai* kadi kamazh pooNGguzhal aaychchi*

aaraa innamudhu uNNaththaruvan n^aan* ammam thaarEn enRa maaRRam*

paaraar thol puhazhaan pudhuvai mannan* pattar piraan sonna paadal*

Eraar innisai maalai vallaar* irudeekEsan adiyaarE.* (11)


233. YashOdA, with her beautifully decked tresses unintentionally says that she is afraid to nurse the cloud hued lord as penned by the chief of Puduvai, ‘BhattarpirAn’. Those who recite these Garland of verses rich with rhythm and music will certainly become the devotees of Irudikesan  (hRuSheekEsha). (11)

Divya Prabandham also called Nalaayira Divya prabandham consists of nearly 4000 hymns.  These 4000 Tamil verses are composed by 12 Tamil poet-saints called Azhwars who were immersed in their devotion to Lord Vishnu. The 12 Azhwars sang these songs about various sacred shrines and the presiding Deity of the shrine, that came to be known as the Divya Desams. There are 108 Divya Desams. 105 in India, 1 in Nepal  and the last two believed to be beyond the Earthly realms. The 12 Azhwars Poigai azhwar Boothath azhwar Peyazhwar Thirumazhisai azhwar Nammazhwar Madhurakavi azhwar Kulasekara azhwar Peri azhwar  Andal  Thondaradipodi azhwar Thiruppan azhwar Thirumangai azhwar       The Nalaayira Divya Prabandham also known as “DRAVIDA VEDAM” or “TAMIL VEDAM” became lost after the period of the Azhwars. Later it was the scholar-saint and Acharya “NATHAMUNI “ who in the 10th century retrieved and compiled this treasure in the present form which’s the pride of Tamil Classical Literature.      Natham

NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 14

NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 14 PASURAMS 637 to 646 *paTTi mEyndOr* After all the hardships that AndAl faced in uniting with the Lord, that she explained starting from " thaiyoru thingkaLum “, finally she gets relieved by having a darshan of the Lord when He shows up, which she explains interestingly in this last decade, as a conversation between herself and her gopika friends. AndAl, in the first half of each pAsuram putsforth a question asking,  "have you seen (கண்டீரே) kaNNan?" describing about Him. The later half comes as an answer saying (விருந்தாவனத்தே கண்டோமே) " *virundAvanaTTE kaNDOmE"* by the gopis. The essence of 'paramabakthi ' required to attain Him and the resultant 'pErinbam' attained out of it are clearly explained here.   637 * patti mEyndhOr kArERu * baladhEvaRku Or kIzhk kanRAy *  ittIRittu viLaiyAdi * ingkE pOdhak kaNdIrE? ** ittamAna pasukkaLai * inidhu maRiththu nIrUtti * vittuk koNdu viLaiyAda * virundhAvanaththE kaNdOmE (2) (1) (6

THIRUPPAVAI PASURAM 1 Andal assumes herself to be the cowherdess of  ‘AyarpAdi’, awakens her peers to follow a certain discipline in view of attaining everlasting happiness and service to the Lord. Eventually selecting the month of “MARGAZHI” and as a monthlong process she sang 30 pAsurams (one for each day) for the “PAVAI NONBU”, called “THIRUPPAVAI”.

 PERIYAZHVAR TIRUMOZHI - 3.6 PASURAMS 275 – 285 The glory of kaNNan playing the flute. 275: naavalam periya theevinil vaazhum* naNGgaimeer_kaaL! idhu Or aRpudham kELeer* thoovalam puriyudaiya thirumaal* thooyavaayil kuzhalOsai vazhiyE* kOvalar siRumiyar iLaNGgoNGgai- kudhuhalippa* udaluLavizhndhu* eNGgum- kaavalum kadandhu kayiRumaalaiyaaki* vandhu kavizhndhu n^inRanarE.* (2) (1) 275. Oh beautiful girls who live in the island of jambudweepa (nAvalan teevu)! Come and listen to this wonder!! The consort of MahAlakshmi, holding the pure, right coiled conch (valampuri), is now playing the flute keeping it on His purest lips. The girls of AyarpAdi lost themselves listening to the mesmerising tunes . As their emotions rose high, they started going towards the music leaving their boundaries and they all joined together like flowers of a string to listen to the music. Seeing kaNNan playing the flute they put their heads down in shame. (1) 276: idavaNarai idaththOLodu saayththu* iruhai koodappu

*PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 9* *PASURAMS 730—740* *Van tALiNai* (thanayan vanam pugath dhasarathan pulambudhal) In this decade AzhvAr talks about the misfortune of king dasharathA. He thinks that, there can be none like DasarathA, who would have    suffered to this extent, the separation of rAma. DasarathA's grief and regret of sending rAma to the forest is vividly explained here. 730 * vanthALiniNai vaNangki vaLanagaram thozhudhEththa * mannanAvAn ninRAyai * ariyaNai mEl irundhAyai * nedungkAnam padarap pOgu enRAL ** em irAmAvO! * unaip payandha kaikEsi than soRkEttu * nanRAga nAnilaththai ALviththEn * nanmaganE! unnai nAnE (1) 730. Oh! My dear son rAma! Getting to know the excitement of the entire subjects of Ayodhya and the chieftains, who respect you, greet you and honour you by falling at your feet, on making you the next heir to the throne, I got overwhelmed in making all the arrangements for crowning you. Later listening to the words of kaikeyi, I had to dethrone you and send you to

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI - 7 PASURAMS 708 TO 718 Alai neeL karumbu According to various circumstances and the state of mind one is in, one can enjoy Lord in different kinds of relationship, like husband and wife, mother and child, teacher and student or as two friends. Here in this tirumozhi, the motherly instinct of AzhwAr becomes prominent. Not finding his child close to him, he personifies himself as Devaki and tries to reminiscence each and every stage of kaNNan's childhood. The time frame here is that, Devaki laments this when she sees KaNNan after He frees her on the death of Kamsa. THE CRADLE STAGE: [New born] 708 * AlainIL karumbannavan thAlO * ambuyath thadangkaNNinan thAlO * vElainIr niRaththannavan thAlO * vEzhap pOdhaga mannavan thAlO ** ElavArkuzhal en magan thAlO * enRenRu unnai en vAyidai niRaiya * thAloliththidum thiruvinai illAth * thAyaril kadaiyAyina thAyE(2) (1) 708 Oh my child!, who is like the well grown sugarcane ready to be sent to the factory for juice extraction,

 PERIAZHVAR THIRUMOZHI. PALLANDU. Pasurams- 1 - 12 During his triumph procession through the streets of Madurai city, emperumAn showed himself along with PiraaTTi to  periyAzhwAr. On seeing bhagavAn in the most beautiful form  revealing  his auspicious qualities such as saundharyam (beauty), etc., AzhvAr was concerned and out of great fear started  thinking that, “in this world which is controlled by kAlam (time), what bad might happen to him?, and what evil eyes people might cast on Him”. So he performed mangaLAsAsanam (well-wishing thoughts) to emperumAn‘s divine and beautiful form to stay forever from any evil eyes. Pasuram 1: pallANdu pallANdu pallAyiraththANdu pala kOdi nURAyiram mallANda thiN thOL maNivaNNA! un sEvadi sevvi thirukkAppu # He starts the first pasuram saying “Pallaandu Pallaandu “ praising the Lord who has conquered the enemies with His strong arms.
