 NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 3

PASURAMS 524 TO 533


KOzhi azhaipadan munnam


Pleading with Kannan to give back their garments. 


The next prank (tiruvilaiyAdal) that KaNNan makes with the Ayar pAdi girls after spoiling their sand castles.   

AndAl in this tirumozhi brings out  the essence of "kaNNan's vastrApaharaNa", episode from srImad bhAgavata sAram.

Thinking that KaNNan would be tired from disturbing them in the previous rendezvous and be sleeping, AndAl and her friends decide to leave early in the morning to bathe in the pond and leaving all their clothes on the bank, get into the water. To their dismay this mischievous dark hued boy comes following behind them, takes all their clothes and carries it atop the kurundai tree. Realising the situation the girls plead KaNNan to return their clothes. 


524 * kOzhi azhaippadhan munnam * kudaindhu nIrAduvAn pOndhOm *

524. In order to take a bath in the early hours, even before the cocks could crow, Oh! Lord krishNa, who reclines on the snake bed, we came to the pond. But now even the sun (ஆழியன்செல்வன்) has risen. We stand much exposed and humiliated before you (ஏழைமை பட்டோம்). Hence forth we will never come to this pond. I stand pleading along with my friend, to give us back our clothes. (1)

525. Why and how did you even come to this pond ? Oh!Krishna! Who wears the honey dripping garland of Tulasi on your  crown! Oh! Lord, our sweet nectar(அமுதே) with such magical powers! (மாயனே)as we are not fully destined, we cannot adhere to your wish of getting united with You. Oh! Mischievous child, (வித்தகப் பிள்ளாய்)who danced on the hood of kAlia snake, please do not run swiftly to the top of the tree. Please, give us back our clothes, kept atop the kurundai tree. (2)


526 ellE! Idhenna iLamai? * emmanaimAr kANil ottAr *

526.What an impish and childish act of yours KrishNa ? Our mothers will surely not let us out again, if they see us like this. Oh! Lord, who for the sake of Seetha destroyed Lanka with your arrows, we will give whatever You wish. Please return our clothes. We will leave before anyone could come. (3)


527 parakka vizhiththu engkum nOkkip * palar kudaindhAdum sunaiyil *

527. Oh! destroyer of Lanka!, can we not expect any mercy from You? In this spring, where many visit and wish to take bath, we stand petrified and eyes brimming with tears rolling unstoppable, inside this  cold water. By ascending on to the topmost branch of this kurundha tree, you have proved yourself to be the head of the monkeys. Please throw our clothes from the tree. (4)


528 kAlaik kathuviduginRa * kayalodu vALai viravi *

528. Oh! dark hued Lord KrishNa! All the fish in the pond like Vaalai and kayal are biting our legs together, as we are standing in the water for so long. If our brothers get to know our plight, they will come with their spears to attack and chase You. Then all your game will be spoilt. So instead of being on the tree with our dresses, come down and give it to us. (5)

529. Oh!Lord our ruler, who is proficient in juggling and dancing with pots! The lotus stalks that encircle our legs as we stand in this wide pond, feels as if the scorpions are stinging us. As a result we are experiencing great hardship. We beg You oh lord! to leave all your mischief and return back our silk cloth. (6)


530 nIrilE ninRu ayarkkinROm * nIdhi allAdhana seydhAy *

530. Oh! Lord, Our protector, Who initiates to safeguard the whole universe at the time of the final deluge, we are tired of standing in the water for so long. We can't even run away from You at present, as our houses are not close by. Even if You humiliate us, we are very much attached to You. Our parents will never be pleased with this. Please give back our clothes. Stop climbing further. (7)


531 mAmimAr makkaLE allOm * matRum ingku ellArum pOndhAr *

531. Oh! Krishna!, with your pure lotus like eyes, in the yoganitra state, we were confident that You will be sleeping in the early hours, after being mischievous the whole night. Whereas, here now again,we are exposed to your pranks. You are totally mistaken thinking that those of us who are here are all your lady love . But there are aunts and even your motherinlaws of AyarpAdi , who have come here.  Don't trouble them as you do to us. Please give back our garments from atop the kurundhai tree. (8)


532 kanjchan valai vaiththa anRu * kAriruL ellil pizhaiththu *

532. Deceiving kamsa's plan to kill you at the time of your birth, You escaped amidst the dark midnight to a different location.  But here, to our hearts dismay, You are torturing us, by not allowing us to get out of the water. Even without scolding, Yashodha pirATTi has raised you to grow as you wish. Are you not ashamed to have drunk the poisoned milk from the unscrupulous Putana?  Oh shameless! Please give back our garments. (9)


PHALA SRUTHI

AndAl, darling of the chief of Srivilliputhur, with its golden rich towers has set to tune the beautiful verses, singing about the mischievous pranks that our dark hued Lord KaNNan did to the gopikAs of AyarpAdi. Those who sing these ten pAsurams, will undoubtedly reach Srivaikuntam to eternally stay with Madhavan. (10)


AndAl Tiruvadigale 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.
