244.Oh! beautiful damsels, come and have a look at the sight of my ocean hued Kannan coming behind the calves after grazing, with His turban cloth  covering on one side and the flame lily (செங்காந்தள் பூ)on the other ear. With a small kucham and a cloth above it, adorned with pearl chains he comes walking. There can be none on earth who has given birth to  a wonderful child like me. (1) 



தோன்றிப்பூ (thondripoo)also referred as செங்காந்தள்( senganthal) in the pAsuram.

245.Oh! Kesava, MadhusUdana! Who abodes in Tiruvarangam (தென்னரங்கம்),with its strong ramparts and cool groves situated in the southern banks of Cauvery, as a hard hearted woman, I woke you up early in the morning and sent you into the woods after feeding you to graze the calves the whole day. None on earth will be so harsh like me. Oh!  my little Kuttan please give me a kiss! (2)

246: kaadukaLoodupOy *kanRukaL mEyththu maRiyOdi* kaarkkOdalpooch-

246. O dAmOdarA! Taking the cattle into the thick forest, you let them graze going behind them to keep them together and return back wearing Kodal [kAr kOdal poo] flowers. Look at yourself fully covered with fine dust from the calves. Oh! my dear child! The beloved of nappinai[nappinai manAlA] as beautiful as the peacock, I have kept everything ready for you to bathe. Come and eat after your shower. Your father is also waiting to eat with you. (3)

247. O Lord of Venkata hills! (veNkatavA), enriched with fragrant orchards. Oh!dark hued matador[karum pOrerE]! You left for grazing the calves without taking your favourite stuff like umbrella, sandals and flute that I had bought for you. Your Lotus feet would have been swollen and your eyes turned reddish due to the scorching heat. (4)

248: paRRaar n^aduNGga mun paaNYja channiyaththai* vaay vaiththa pOrERE!*

248.O lion of the AyarpAdi clan, your thunderous blowing of the conch pAnchajanyam makes the enemies shiver In fright. You are the beloved of Seeta. Oh! My little son with beautiful red eyes[shengaN mAlE]! Did you go behind the cows for grazing and returned back along with other cowherd boys, leaving your waist cloth and a pretend toy sword on the bed? (5)

249: aNYjudaraazhi un_kaiyakaththu Endhum azhakaa!* nee poykai pukku*

249. O beautiful Lord[azhagA], holding the magnificent Sudarshana chakra! I am still alive ,seeing your dreadful act of jumping into the pond to fight the poisonous snake. You instil fear in my stomach. Aren’t You afraid? O Lord, having the complexion of kAyam flowers![ kAyam poo vaNNam] your act might please kamsa. (6)

250: panRiyum aamaiyum meenamumaakiya* paaRkadal vaNNaa!* unmEl-

250. O milky ocean hued lord, who took the form of wild boar and tortoise, You killed the demons who came to kill you in the disguise of calves. You lifted the calves and threw it on the VilAm tree (wood apple) so as to make the fruit fall and thus killed them. 
Those who intend to harm You, my child, will be finished thus. (7)

251: kEttaRiyaadhana kEtkinREn* kEsavaa! kOvalar indhiraRku*

251. kesavA! I listen to unusual things about you, that I have never heard before. I believe, You mixed and ate all the rice, vegetables and yoghurt, that were offered to Indra by the cowherd folks.
 I am scared, I can’t even feed you like this for one single time,then I doubt I have enough wealth to feed you every day. O vAsudevA! With undaunted fame! I am scared of your miraculous deeds from now on. (8)

252: thiNNaar veNsaNGgudaiyaay!* thirun^aaL thiruvONam inREzhun^aaL* mun-

252. Oh! Lord, who possess the solid white conch! The auspicious day of Your birthstar shravanam falls on the seventh day from today. To celebrate this, I have made been sprouts and invited women with melodious voice to sing praises for you. I have prepared and kept rice and curry for this special occasion. Hence, my dear child you need not go behind the calves from tomorrow. Dress up nicely and be at home kaNNa. (9)

253.The good hearted YashOdA, with her waist as thin as the hooded snake, rejoiced seeing her son ‘Govindan’, return from grazing he cows. Vishnuchittah residing in Tenpiduvai (Srivilliputhur), where modest people live, has elaborated her feelings in these ten verses.

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

 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.

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.
