 PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI - 3.8

PASURAMS 297 to 306.


NalladOr tAmarai


The mother is shocked to find that her daughter is missing and is upset that she has gone away with Him.


297: nalladhOr thaamaraip poyhai* naaN malar mEl pani sOra*

alliyum thaadhum udhirndhittu* azhahazhindhaal oththadhaalO*

illam veRiyOdiRRaalO* en mahaLai _eNGgum kaaNEn*

mallarai attavan pinpOy* madhurai puRam pukkaaLkolO?* (2) 1.


297. Similar to a beautiful lotus pond that losses its beauty when the lilies shed their pollen and the inner petals as the dew drops fall on them, my house looks empty without my daughter! I can’t find her anywhere. Has she gone behind the One who killed the wrestlers [mallarai attavan] and entered AyarpAdi in the outskirts of Mathura? (1)


298: onRum aRivonRillaadha* uruvaRaik kOpaalar thaNGgaL*

kanRu kaal maaRumaapOlE* kanni irundhaaLai koNdu*

nanRum kiRi seydhu pOnaan* naaraayaNan seydha theemai*

enRum emar_kaL kudikku* Or Echchukkol aayidum kolO?* 2.



298. Just as the cowherds, who have the least of worldly knowledge, inner enlightenment and smartness steal the calves, nArAyanan has taken my young daughter along with Him. Won’t this act of conspiracy in taking my obedient daughter bring an everlasting disgrace for the family? (2)


299: kumari maNam seydhu koNdu* kOlam seydhu illaththiruththi*

thamarum piRarum aRiya* dhaamOdharaRku enRu saaRRi*

amarar padhiyudai dhEvi* arasaaNiyai vazhipattu*

thumilam ezhappaRai kotti* thOraNam n^aattidum kolO?* 3.


299.Decking up my daughter with wedding attire and jewels, performing the auspicious rituals and making her the bride, announcing her to be betrothed with DAmodaram in front of everyone, making this devi of the devAdirAjan circumambulate and do Pooja for the peepul tree according to the ritual of the community, will they celebrate my daughter’s wedding in a grand manner beating the drums and decorating the whole place with garlands? (3)


300: orumahaL thannai udaiyEn* ulaham n^iRaindha puhazhaal*

thirumahaL pOla vaLarththEn* seNGgaNmaalthaan koNdupOnaan*

perumahaLaay kudivaazhndhu* perum piLLai peRRa asOdhai*

marumahaLai kaNduhandhu* maNaattuppuRam seyyum kolO?* 4.


 300.Possessing a single daughter, with renowned fame and glory, I raised her like Sri Lakshmi herself. But now this reddish eyed TirumAl (செங்கண்மால்) has taken her away with Him. Will YashOdA, the great woman who has the pride of being the mother to the great child Krishna, willingly accept my daughter and feel elated seeing her daughter in law and take good care in all respects? (4) 


301: thammaaman n^andha gOpaalan* thazhee_ikkoNdu en mahaL thannai*

semmaandhirE enRu solli* sezhuNG kayal kaNNum sevvaayum*

kommai mulaiyum idaiyum* kozhum paNaiththOLhaLum kaNdittu*

immahaLai peRRa thaayar* inith thariyaar ennum kolO?* 5.


 301.Will my daughter’s father in law, Nandagopar be kind to her? Will he comfort her and ask her not to be scared or feel shy? Looking at her beautiful fish shaped eyes, red lips, slender waist and broad shoulders will he wonder how the mother of this beautiful girl could stay separated from her? (5)


302: vEdar maRakkulam pOlE* vENdiRRu seydhu enmahaLai*

koodiya koottamEyaaka* koNdu kudi vaazhuNGgolO?*

naadum n^aharum aRiya* nalladhOr kaNNaalam seydhu*

saadiRa paayndha perumaan* thakkavaahai paRRuNGgolO?* 6.


302. Thinking that the consent and the compatibility of the bride and the groom is sufficient for the marriage, as done in certain communities, will they just leave without conducting the marriage ceremony for my daughter? Oh such a thing should not happen! Will the Lord who kicked shakatAsuran to death, marry my daughter amidst a great pomp and show for all the people of the city and country to know? (6)


 303: aNdaththamarar perumaan* aazhiyaan inRu enmahaLai*

paNda pazhippukkaL sollip* parisaRa aaNdidum kolO?*

koNdu kudivaazhkkai vaazhndhu* kOvalappattam kaviththu*

paNdai maNaattimaar munnE* paadhuhaaval vaikkum kolO?* 7.


303.Will the Lord of the Nithyasoories, holding the discus [AzhiyAn] reprimand my daughter of her beauty and nature and reject her? Or accept her and treat her equally with all the other wives in the palace?  Will he lead a good life with her showing love and affection giving her the position to lead their clan? (7)


304: kudiyil piRandhavar seyyum* kuNamonRum seydhilan andhO!*

nadai onRum seydhilan n^aNGgaay!* nandhagOpan mahan_ kaNNan*

idaiyirupaalum vaNaNGga* iLaiththiLaiththu en mahaL _ENGgi*

kadaikayiRE paRRi vaaNGgik* kai thazhumbERidum kolO?* 8.


304. Oh! Damsel, [ nangAi]! Nandagopan’s son, kannan, has neither followed His family tradition and custom nor that of the world in taking her as the bride. Oh! Won’t my daughter emaciate due to the continuous churning of curds, that might even leave a mark on her tender palms? (8)


305: veNNiRa thOythayir thannai* veL varaippinmun ezhundhu*

kaNNuRaNGgaadhE irundhu* kadaiyavum thaan vallaLkolO?*

oNNiRa thaamarai seNGgaN* ulahaLandhaan enmahaLai*

paNNaRaiyaa paNikoNdu *parisaRa aaNdidum kolO?* 9.


305.Will my daughter be able to get up early in the morning before dawn daily without sleeping properly in the night? Further she is so weak to churn the set curd. Will the lotus eyed lord who measured the world [ulagalandAn] rule over her asking her to run errands?? (9)

PHALA SHRUTI

306: maayavan pin vazhi senRu* vazhiyidai maaRRaNGgaL kEttu*

aayarhaL sEriyilum pukku* aNGguththai maaRRamumellaam*

thaayavaL solliya sollai* thaN pudhuvaippattan_sonna*

thooya thamizh paththum vallaar* thoomaNi vaNNanukkaaLarE.* (2)(10)


306.The journey of the daughter along with KaNNan. Their tête-à-tête on the way before reaching AyarpAdi. She adjusting herself to the people of AyarpAdi. All these are elaborated by PattarpirAn of Puduvai as a mother’s lament in this decade. Those who recite this will become devotees of the sapphire coloured Lord[maNivnnanukku]. (10)


AzhvAr Thiruvadigale Sharanam.

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,

PERIAZHWAR THIRUMOZHI.PALLANDU 1 - 1

 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. May you be praised for ever and ever and ever and for many crores of years to come as we stand beneath your Divine fee
