THIRUCHCHANDA VIRUTTAM 85 TO 96
PASURAMS  836 TO 847
AzhvAr, expressing his helplessness, seeks  the lotus feet as the only means .


836.nachcharAvaNai kiDanda nAda pAda pOdinil vaitta Sindai vAnguvittu neenguvikka nee inam | 
 meittan vallai AdalAl arindanan nin mAyamE uittu nin mayakkinil mayakkal ennai mAyanE || (85)

836. Oh almighty!, reclining on a meditative posture on the poison emitting Adiseshan, with your free will, you are capable of diverting my mind which is secured to your lotus feet, towards unworthy desires. Oh wondrous Lord!, I strongly realise that you are a sovereign. I plead before you, not to bring me under the influence of mAya (Prakriti) but relieve me from the bondage of worldly attachment. (85)


837.SADu SADu pAdanE Salam kalanda poihai vAi ADarAvin van piDar naDam payinra nAdanE | 
 kODu neeDu kaiya Seyya pAdam nALum uLLinAl veeDanAha mei SeyAda vaNNam enkol kaNNanE || (86)

837. Oh Lord kaNNa! Oh! My master, having the divine Palm that permanently adorns the ornament of Chakra, Oh!Lord who kicked off sakatAsuran with your tiny feet and danced  on the mighty hood(AdarAvin pidar) of the hauteur snake kAlia, that filled the fresh water lake with its venomous poison,  what is it that is stopping You from bestowing upon me a place in Your eternal abode, when you know that I constantly meditate upon Your Lotus feet day in and out? (86) 
Quoting examples of lord proving his ability to dispel mighty enemies, AzhvAr pleads lord to remove the obstacle that stops from granting the fruit of eternal servitude to him. (86)


838.neTTri peTTra kaNNan viNNin nAdanODu pOdin mEl naTTravatta nAdanODu maTTrum uLLa vAnavar | kaTTra peTTriyAl vaNangu pAda nAda vEda nin paTTralAl Or paTTru maTTradu uTTrilEn uraikkilE || 
(87)

838. Dear lord, having the most venerated divine feet, you are worshipped according to the extent of their own individual knowledge by, Lord shiva having the third eye, Indra, the King of the devas,the three headed brahma born on lotus flower, and all other dEvas. Oh master who is the embodiment of vEdas, other than submitting myself, unto your lotus feet, trust me, I have not even thought of any other refuge. (87)


839.veLLai vElai verpu nATTi veLLeyiTTru arAvaLAi aLLalAi kaDainda anru aruvaraikku Or AmaiyAi | 
 uLLa noihaL teer marundu vAnavarkku aLitta em vaLLalArai anri maTTrOr deivam nAn madippanE || (88)

839.Instilling mount mandAra into the whitish ocean and twining the white toothed VAsuki serpent around it, in the days of the yore, while you churned it with surging waves, by way of supporting the mountain, you became a tortoise underneath it. You gave the gift of elixir that was churned to the dEvas. Knowing all these greatness, how will I even think of some other refuge in my mind, Oh! Supreme Lord ? (88)


840.pAr mihutta bAra mun ozhichchuvAn aruchchunan tEr mihuttu mAyamAkki ninru konru vEnri SEr | mAradarkku vAn koDuttu vaiyam aivar pAladAm Seer mihutta nin alAl Or deivam nAn madippanE || (89)

840. I shall hardly advocate any other deity other than you Oh! Glorious Lord, who administered the chariot of Arjuna, back in the olden days, and slayed the entire clan of Duryodhana (who is an acclaimed mahA rathar, confidant of winning the war), so as to lessen the burden of Mother Earth and eradicate wrongdoers, by performing astounding and unbelievable fete such as, making the day look like night. Bestowing them the heavenly abode, you eventually made the pAnDavAs rule this world. (89)
*ananyagatitvam* ( no other refuge but the Lord ) is what he explained in the three verses above.


841.kulangaL Aya eeriraNDil onrilum pirandilEn nalangaL Aya nar kalaihaL nAlilum navinrilEn | 
pulanhaL aindum venrilEn poriyilEn punida nin ilangu pAdam anri maTTrOr paTTrilEn em eeSanE || (90)

Now AzhvAr explains * Akinchanyam* ( no other means, but for his lotus feet, in this verse)
841. Oh! Immaculate lord, Am not born in any one of the four varnAs. I haven’t practiced the four vEdas, that shows the virtuous path for the beings. I haven’t won over the five senses. I have been caught in the treacheries of this materialistic world. Other than holding on to your bright lotus feet, I have no other alternative options (90)


842.paNNulAvu men mozhi paDai taDangaNAl poruTTu eNNilA arakkarai neruppinAl nerukkinAi | 
 kaNNalAl Or kaNNilEn kalanda SuTTram maTTrilEn eNNilAda mAya ninnai ennuL neekkal enrumE || (91)

842. Oh! Valorous Lord!, for the sake of pirATTi, with sword like elongated eyes and euphonic voice, you annihilated thousands of soldiers with your fiery arrows. Oh, wondrous Lord, I am stranded with none to govern and lead me nor to comfort me other than you. Therefore, I plead you not to forsake me ever from you. (91)


843.viDai kulangaL Ezh aDarttu venri vEr kaN mAdarAr kaDi kalanda tOL puNarnda kAliyAya vElai neer | paDaittu aDaittu adir kiDandu mun kaDaindu nin tanakku aDaikkaLam puhunda ennai anjal enna veNDumE || (92)

843. Oh! GOpAlakrishnA (kAli Aya)!, you created the ocean with water being its constituent firstly, you built a bridge across the ocean during rAmAvatAr, you chose the ocean to be your abode, where you stay in a reclined state, just to listen to your devotees appeal. In the days of yore, you churned it for the sake of dEvas. Not only these, you tamed the seven aggressive and muscular bulls of different kinds to embrace the redolent and beautiful spear shaped eyed nappinnai pirATTi. I plead you oh! Lord, to caress me, who has surrendered unto you totally and say, "Do not fear". (92)
Quoting the instances of giving assurance of protection during vibeeshana sharanAgati, and uttering "மாசுச:"(mAsucha:) for *arjuna*, AzhvAr pleads the Lord  to say "அஞ்சேல்" (anjEl) for his sake.(92)


844.Surumburangu taN tuzhAi tuDaindalarnda pAdamE virumbi ninru iranjuvErku irangu aranga vANanE | karumbirundu kaTTiyE kaDal kiDanda kaNNanE irumbu aranga venjaram turanda villirAmanE || (93)

844.Oh lord RanganAthA! Residing in periyakoil, you are as sweet as the sugar candy. Oh kanna! Who abodes in  tiruparkadal. Oh! Lord rAma, with your sArnga bow, you destroy even the strongest of enemies. I stand before you, longing for your grace, who love and worship your divine feet, adorned with the cool tulsi strand flocked with bees. (93)


845.oonil mEya Avi nee urakkamODu uNarchi nee Anil mEya aindum nee avaTTruL ninra tooimai nee | vAninODu maNNum nee vaLangaDar payanum nee yAnum nee adanri embirAnum nee irAmanE || (94)

845. Oh! Lord rAma, the five energies or the airs/vAyu embedded in the body to keep it alive, operates under your control. You govern the ignorance ( somnolence due to tamOgunam) and knowledge ( brilliance due to satvagunam) of an entity. You are present in the five by-products obtained from the cows and their purity remains as an impact of your resolution. The entire wealth consisting of both the Nithya Vibhuti (the eternal abode) and Leela Vibhuti (the mundane world) operates under your will. You are the very same precious utilities such as the gems and the divine nectar obtained from the sea. Myself is also under your control.  You are the ultimate supremo.
SarvavyApitvam is clearly explained in this verse. (94)

The five vAyus:
prAna, apAna, vyAna, udAna and samAna vAyu. (94)


846.aDakkarum pulanhaL aindaDakki ASaiyAm avai tuDakkaruttu vandu nin tozhil kaN ninra ennai nee | viDakkarudi mei SeyAdu mikku Or ASai Akkilum kaDal kiDanda ninnalAl Or kaNNilEn em aNNalE || (95)

846. My dear lord, upholding the uncontrollable five senses and refraining myself from the material interest, I have come to you with utmost interest in your servitude. Having uplifted me to this state, is it fair on your part to disdain me and not make my liberation a reality, rather increase by worldly desire? I affirm that, I have none other than you oh! Lord, who reclines on the milky ocean as my protector. (95)


847.varambilAda mAya mAya vaiyam Ezhum meimmaiyE varambil oozhi Ettilum varambilAda keerttiyAi | varambilAda pal pirappu aruttu vandu nin kazhal porundumA tirunda nee varam Sei puNDareekanE || (96)

847. Oh! Lotus eyed Lord with wondrous powers!, you innately possess the boundless, unimaginable form of the primordial substance. Your eminence, is immeasurable, even after venerating your glory for several ages, in all the seven worlds put together. Ending my innumerable cycle of birth, I pray , to bestow upon me, the grace of attaining your lotus feet and eternally remain there. (96)

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.

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.

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

 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

 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.

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.

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,
