 PERIYAZHVAR TIRUMOZHI 4.10*

*PASURAMS 423 TO 432*


tuppuDaiyArai..


AzhvAr put forth his request to Lord Sri Ranganatha in advance, while being sound in mind and body, to safe guard him at the time of death.


423:## thuppudaiyaarai adaivadhellaam* sOrvidaththu thuNaiyaavar enRE*

oppilEn aahilum n^innadaindhEn* aanaikku n^ee aruL seydhamaiyaal*

eyppu ennai vandhu n^aliyum pOdhu*angu Edhum n^aanunnai n^inaikka maattEn*

appOdhaikku ippOdhE solli vaiththEn*arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! (2) 1.


423. Oh Lord! resting on AdisheSha at Srirangam, You are stationed here to protect those who have surrendered at your feet. My organs have become weak and tired and hardly cooperate with me. At this stage, I rely on you and have surrendered to you. Although I am unworthy, I plead you to protect me as you did to elephant Gajendra. In the last stages of my life, when I become disoriented due to failure of my sense organs, I may not be in a position to even think about you. So I am making this request well in advance. (1)


424: saamidaththu ennai kuRikkoL kaNdaay*shankodu chakkaram EndhinaanE!*

naamadiththu ennai anEha thaNdam*seyvadhaa n^iRpar n^aman thamarhaL*

pOmidaththu un thiRaththu eththanaiyum* puhaa vaNNam n^iRpadhOr maayai vallai*

aamidaththE unnai solli vaiththEn*arangaththu aravaNai paLLiyaanE! 2.


424. Oh Lord! resting on AdisheSha at Srirangam holding the shankh and chakra, please think of me when death approaches me . The associates of Yama (naman tamargal)  in a bit of rage will be determined to punish me with folded tongue for my bad deeds. While going with them you are capable of hiding yourself in the pretext of mAyA not letting me to remember your names. Hence, when I am safe and sound in health, I utter your many names now itself well in advance for that later date. (2)


425: ellaiyil vaasal kuRukach chenRaal* eRRi n^aman thamar paRRum pOdhu

nillumin ennum ubaayamillai* nEmiyum shankamum EndhinaanE!

sollalaam pOdhE un n^aamam ellaam* sollinEn ennaik kuRikkoNdu enRum

allal padaavaNNam kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 3.


425. Oh Lord! resting on AdisheSha at Srirangam, bearing the shankh and chakra! There is no way that I can relieve myself from the clutches of the messengers of Yama, who will be holding me, when I reach yamaloka after my lifetime. Hence, let me keep chanting your names when I am fully hale and healthy now. I plead, you protect me so as, not to suffer in their hands. (3)


426: oRRai vidaiyanum n^aanmuhanum* unnai aRiyaap perumaiyOnE!

muRRa ulahellaam n^eeyEyaaki* moonRezhuththaaya mudhalvanEyO!

aRRadhu vaaNaaL ivaRku enReNNi*aNYcha n^aman_thamar paRRaluRRa

aRRaikku, nee_ennaik kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 4.


426. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, even Lord Shiva who rides the bull and Lord Brahma couldn’t perceive the extent of your eminence. You are the primal cause of the universe and the manifestation of the three lettered praNava mantra.  You have to protect me when the messengers of Yama come to take me saying “his life time is over”. (4)


427: paiyaravin aNai paaRkadaluL*paLLi koLhinRa parama moorththi!

uyya ulahu padaikka vENdi*undhiyil thORRinaay n^aanmuhanai

vaiya manisaraip poyyenRu eNNi* kaalanaiyum udanE padaiththaay

aiya! ini ennaik kaakka vENdum*arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 5.


427. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, please protect me from the messengers of Yama. Oh Parama moorti, (The ultimate master)!  Who reclines on the snake bed in tiruppArkadal, You made Brahma appear on the lotus flower from your navel to create the world, for the jeevAtmas to get emancipated and at the same time  created Yama (time) to realise that the life on earth is pseudo and not permanent. Henceforth please guard me. (5)


428: thaNNenavillai n^amanthamarhaL* saala kodumaikaL seyyaa n^iRpar

maNNodu n^eerum eriyum kaalum* maRRum aakaasamumaaki n^inRaay!

eNNalaam pOdhE unn^aamam ellaam* eNNinEn, ennaik kuRikkoNdu enRum

aNNalE! nee ennaik kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 6.


428. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, being the earth, water, fire, air and space(panchabhootas) yourself, you govern them too. At present I chant your names considering them as the mantras for my protection and alleviation.But will I be able to think and call your names when the agents of Yama mercilessly show their cruelty during my last hour? Hence I plead, You protect me, always having an eye on me. (6)


429: senchol maRaip poruLaahi n^inRa* dhEvarhaL n^aayakanE! emmaanE!

eNYchalil ennudai innamudhE!* Ezhulahum udaiyaay! ennappaa!

vaNYcha uruvin n^amanthamarhaL* valindhu n^alindhu ennaip paRRum pOdhu

aNYchalam enRu ennaik kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 7.


429. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, You are the essence of the religious vEdic texts! Oh! Lord the head of the nithyasoories ! The sweet nectar, who possess the seven worlds! My father, when the invisible messengers of Yama take me captive forcibly at the time of my death, I plead You to console me saying, “Fear not”, and be near me. (7)


430: naan_Edhum unmaayam onRaRiyEn* naman thamar paRRi n^alindhittu indha

oonE pukEyenRu mOdhum pOdhu* angEdhum naan unnai n^inaikka maattEn

vaanEy vaanavar thangaL eesaa!* madhurai piRandha maamaayanE!*en-

aanaay! nee ennaik kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 8.



430. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, I know not anything about your all magical misapprehensions (mAyA). When the Yama dhootAs force and beat me to enter into the sookshma shareeram for undergoing the turmoils in naraga lokam, I will not be remembering you. Oh Lord of the eternal world born in Mathura!The Lord of the celestials! Oh! Lord who is so kind towards me, please protect and save me! (8)


431: kunReduththu aan^irai kaaththa aayaa!* kOn^irai mEyththavanE! emmaanE!*

anRu mudhal inRaRudhiyaa* aadhiyanchOdhi maRandhaRiyEn*

nanRum kodiya n^amanthamarhaL* nalindhu valindhu ennaip paRRum pOdhu*

anRangu n^ee ennaik kaakka vENdum* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanE! 9.


431. Oh Lord! resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, as a cowherd boy You lifted the Govardhana hill to protect the cowherds. Oh ! Primal lord, our master! From then on till this day, I have hardly forgotten your beautiful and radiant form. When the treacherous servants of Yama show their cruelty to me, you should come and protect me. (9)


Phala Sruthi 

432: maayavanai madhusoodhananai* maadhavanai maRaiyOrhaL Eththum*

aayarhaL ERRinai achchudhanai* arangaththu aravaNaip paLLiyaanai*

vEyar puhazh villipuththoorman* vishNu chiththan sonna maalai paththum*

thooya manaththanaraahi vallaar* thoomaNi vaNNanukku aaLar thaamE. (2)


432. The lord resting on AdiseSha at Srirangam, who is the wonderful head of the cowherd clan and the consort of mahAlakshmi, hailed as Achyuta! Madhusoodana! MAdhava! by the vedic seers, was praised by the famed Vishnuchittah of villiputtur. Those who sing these 10 pAsurams with a pure heart will become true servants of the pure gem, Lord Shri RanganAtha.

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”. Each pAsuram ends with the special phrase “ELOr EmpAvAi”, meaning Oh, my dear friends which is the speciality of ThiruppAvai. 474.mArgazhit tingaL, madi niRainDa nannALAl *  nIrADap pOduvIr! pOduminO nErizhaiyIr! *  sIr malgum AyppADich selvach siRumeergAL! *  kUrvEl koDuntozhilan nandagOpan kumaran **  ErArnda kaNNi, yasOdai iLanjchingam *  kArmEnich sengaN kadir madiyam pOl mugattAn *  nArAyaNanE namakkE paRai taruvAn *  pArOr pugazhap paDindElOr empAvAy (1) 1.MARGAZHI THINGAL.

 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.
