 NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 5


PASURAMS 545 - 555


Mannu perum pugazh…


Even after getting a paired result, in the KooDal game, KaNNan doesn't seem to be coming. AndAl gets distracted by the singing of a cuckoo and starts pleading the cuckoo bird to bring her kaNNan to her. She is remembered of the cuckoo bird singing when they both met once in a grove.


545 * mannu perumpugazh mAdhavan * mAmaNi vaNNan maNimudi maindhan

thannai * ugandhadhu kAraNamAga * en sangkizhakkum vazhakkuNdE? **

punnai kurukkaththi njAzhal serundhip * podhumbinil vAzhum kuyilE! *

panni eppOdhum irundhu viraindhu * en pavaLavAyan varak kUvAy (1)


1  Oh! Cuckoo dwelling in the holes of the thick grooves having punnai, kurukatti, nyAzhal, and cherunti trees! Due to my extreme desire, to unite with the consort of Mahalakshmi, who has countless virtues and blue hued wearing the gem studded crown, I am becoming thin and loosing my bangles. If you think that this is not fair please sing His divine names so that my coral lipped perumAn swiftly comes to my side. (1)


546 veLLai viLi sangku idangkaiyil koNda * vimalan enakku urukkAttAn *

uLLam pugundhu ennai naiviththu * nALum uyirppeydhu9 kUththAttuk kANum **

kaLLavizh seNbagap pUmalar kOdhik * kaLiththisai pAdum kuyilE! *

meLLa irundhu mizhatRi mizhatRAdhu * en vEngkadavan varak kUvAy (2)


2 Oh! Sweet Cuckoo, you happily sing caressing the honey laden shenbhaga flowers. My purest Lord vimalan, holding the pure whitish conch in his left hand has not shown Himself to me. But entering into my heart, He takes pleasure in watching me get drained out, as I get melted in His love. So please stay close to me oh! Cuckoo and call out my tiruvEnKatavan gently by cooing. (2)


547 mAthali thEr munbu kOl koLLa * mAyan irAvaNan mEl * saramAri

pOdhalar kAvil pudhu maNam nARap * poRivaNdin kAmaram kEttu * un

3. Oh!Cuckoo, you happily reside with your mate, in the orchards enjoying the fragrance of the fresh blossoming flowers and the resonating song of  “kAmaram” sung by the bees. Whereas, nowhere am I seeing my Emperuman, who stripped off the main head of the conjuror rAvaNa with a barrage of arrows, as Indra’s charioteer “mAtali” drove rAma on the chariot, coming towards me. So please sing sweetly so that my dark hued gem comes to me! (3)


548 enburugi inavEl nedungkaNgaL * imai porundhA pala nALum *

ponpurai mEnik karuLak kodiyudaip * puNNiyanai varak kUvAy (4)


4. Oh Cuckoo, my spear like eyes have not slept for long, and I have become thin as the sorrow of separation has penetrated into my bones. Getting submerged in the ocean of distress, I have been struggling and baffling without getting the vaikunThanAtha boat (the famous Vishnu bodham boat)to relieve myself from this cycle of birth. Can you not realise my plight? Please sing, such that my lord possessing the garuDa flag will come near me. (4)


549 * mennadai annam parandhu viLaiyAdum * villipuththUr uRaivAn than *

5. Oh Cuckoo,  with a deep desire to have a glance of the  divine feet of the Lord who resides in the beautiful city of Srivilliputhur where the gently walking swans play around, my fish shaped eyes have not closed a bit. So please sing sweetly, so that the Lord who measured the world as Trivikrama will come here. If you do so, I will befriend my well nourished dear parrot with you. (5)


550 eththisaiyum amarar paNindhu Eththum * irudIkEsan vali seyya *

6.  Oh Cuckoo!, you sleep in the beautiful orchard where flowers bloom in bunches. Lord  hrusheekEsha, worshipped by the humble dEvas from all directions, is avoiding me by not showing Himself to me. Hence in that distress, I have lost my complexion and beauty. Please can you sing, such that, my Lord who is present everywhere and is the reason for my existence will come to me? In return, I shall be indebted to you whole through my life. (6)


551 pongkiya pARkadal paLLi koLvAnaip * puNarvadhOr AsaiyinAl * en

7. Oh pretty cuckoo! In the dire interest of getting united with the PerumAl reclining on the wavy tirupArkaDal, my physical and mental state undergoes extreme amount of hardship. What is the use of hiding under the shade? Please sing and do this dharma of bringing my Lord holding the shankh, chakra and gadha in His hands to me. (7)


552 sArngkam vaLaiya valikkum * thadakkaich sadhuran poruththam udaiyan *

Angku viraindhu ollai kUgitRiyAgil * avanai nAn seyvana kANE (8)


8. Oh tiny cuckoo! Sitting on the tasty fruit bearing mango grove you groom the reddish tender mango shoots. My Lord TirumAl, who possess strong arms and is proficient in stringing the sArnga bow, is equally skilful in making tiffs as in showing his valour. We have taken a vow not to part away from each other. Hence if you twitter and bring Him here, you can witness my pranks with Him too. (8)


553 paingkiLi vaNNan sirIdharan enbadhOr * pAsaththu agappattirundhEn *

ingkuLLa kAvinil vAzhak karudhil * iraNdaththonREl thiNNam vENdum (9)


9. Oh cuckoo! Dwelling in the orchards swarmed by the buzzing luminous bees, listen to me. I lay trapped in the net laid by Lord shreedharan who is hued like the green parrot. If you wish to stay happily in this forest, you have to sing and bring my Lord who holds the shanku and the chakaram here. Or else make the   bangle that slithered away, stay in my hand. ( that will happen only if He comes). You have to do at least anyone of this without fail. (9)


554 anRulagam aLandhAnai ugandhu * adimaikkaN avan vali seyya *

inRu nArAyaNanai varak kUvAyEl * ingkuththai11 ninRum thurappan (10)


10. Oh Cuckoo! Having a dying interest to perform kainkaryam at the lotus feet of Lord TirumAl, who placed His foot on the arrogant King mahAbali and measured the whole world, I was longing for it. He has betrayed me instead. I know not the reason for the torment of this cool breeze and the moon rays. Staying in this grove, even you don't torment me, instead bring my Lord shriman nArAyanan here by cooing. Or else I will drive you away from here. (10)


PHALA SHRUTI


555 * viNNuRa nINdu adi thAviya maindhanai * vERkaN madandhai virumbi *

naNNuRu vAsaga mAlai vallAr * namO nArAyaNAya enbArE (11)


11. The sphere eyed pretty damsel AndAl, daughter of well versed bhattar pirAn, of Srivilliputhur sang these songs asking the black cuckoo to sing for her and bring her most beloved ocean hued Lord who extended His legs and measured the universe as trivikrama, close to her. Those who recite these verses will chant namO nArAyaNAya and reap the benefits of saying the ashThAkshara mantra.  (11)

Divya Prabandham

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.

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.
