TIRUVADARI ASHRAMAM


Advising the heart to take shelter under lord NArAyanA of badari who is the mantraswaroopan himself in the previous decade, here in this decade, azhvAr advises to take refuge in this twin kshEtram, badrikAshramam where EmperumAn taking the ‘nara’ form exhibits the traits of a shishya for the sake of the chetanAs.

978.My lord NArAyaNA, in the days of the yore, during varAha kalpam, when earth got submerged in the oceanic deluge, as the supreme celestials including brahmA and others took refuge unto the divine pair of feet, transformed himself into a wild boar and retrieved it. Further, stringing his bow, he made the body of rAvaNA belonging to the clan of Dhanur  (dhAnavan agam) roll on the ground. 

He is stationed in ‘BadrikAshram’, along the banks of river GangA, where the dEvAs  worship him, offering the fragrant, honey laden, divine flowers garnered from the kalpaka orchards. My heart, lodge yourself unto him.(1)

979. My lord almighty! Aimed and struck the deceitful golden deer, with his gruelling arrows. Further, he pierced the chest and took the life out of vAli, for the sake of Sugreeva. 

He resides in BadrikAshram, situated on the banks of the ancient river Ganga , where brahma born from the lotus flower, comes along with other dEvatAs pushing each other to bathe in the water before offering his prayers. My heart, let us take refuge unto him.(2)

This lord, permanently abodes in BadrikAshram, situated on the banks of the river Ganga that hits mount ‘mEru’, circumambulated by the sun, and spreads in the sky like the white cloth hoisted on a flag post, falling down strong and clear. My heart, take initiative to go and reach him. (3)

982. My lord, my master, sat on the lap of the demoness pUtanA, who came in the disguise of a mother and consumed her breast milk.

This lord is stationed in BadrikAshram, situated on the banks of river Ganga, that cascades from the golden peak of mount mEru that holds the universe on it. My heart, please pay your obeisances to him. (5)

983. At the time, when seven bulls were lined up, in accordance with winning the hands of nappinnai PiraaTTi, whose beautiful sides of the body resemble the chariot and whose eyes resemble the kayal fish, my cloud hued emperumAn, performed a terrifying act of taming them.

985. As a king, when seetha PiraaTTi expressed her desire for the golden deer, he went chasing behind mareechA the disguised deer and showing his anger aimed at it with his beautiful bow.

987.Tirumangai AzhvAr also referred as kaliyan, thoughtfully wrote these tuned songs, about the lord who is hued like the ocean that is formed of all three types of water (river, spring and rain) residing in BadrikAshram on the banks of the pristine clear wavy Ganga that flows furiously. 

Those who comprehend and master these ten songs are sure to rule this world surrounded by ocean under the white canopy of royalty (veNkotrakuDai) and later reach the abode of brahma (satyalOka) and thereafter unite with the nithyasoories. (10)

There are 108 Divya Desams. 105 in India, 1 in Nepal  and the last two believed to be beyond the Earthly realms.

KANNINUN SIRUTAMBU PASURAMS 937 - 947 Madhurakavi azhvAr in these 11 verses talks in detail about his reverence to his AchArya. It is generally said that, one should not pronounce the mantram taught openly to others, but talk and propagate the glory of the guru or AchArya who taught us the mantrAs. Madhurakavi AzhvAr having found his guru in Nammazhwar propounded about his greatness and the pleasure attained thereafter. 937.kaNNi nuN chiRuththAmbinAl  kattuNNap

*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.

PERUMAL TIRUMOZHI 10 PASURAMS 741 TO 751   angkan nedDumadil   *RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM* kulasEkara perumAl moves from Vibhava form ( the incarnation state) to archa form (the idol state). Reminded of GOVINDARAJA PERUMAL of TILLAI NAGARAM, he sees him as rAma of chitrakooTam and wishes to sing about rAma. Hence this kshEtram is known as *TIRUCHITTIRAKOODAM* also referred as “punDareekapuram”. He sings the essence of entire rAmAyaNa in this decade. As this Azhwar is so much engrossed with rAma and this entire Tirumozhi is about rAmAyaNa, it is called RAMAYANA SANGRAHAM.   741 SHRI RAMA JANANAM (BALA KANDAM) 741 * angkaNedu madhiL pudai sUzh ayOdhdhi ennum * aNi nagaraththu ulaganaiththum viLakkum sOdhi * vengkadhirOn kulaththukkOr viLakkAyth thOnRi * viN muzhudhum uyak koNda vIran thannai ** sengkaNedung karumugilai irAman thannaith * thillainagarth thiruchchithrakUdam thannuL * engkaL thani mudhalvanai emperumAn thannai * enRu kolO! kaN kuLirak kANum nALE (2) (1) In the world’...

 PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI - 4.5 PASURAMS 371 - 380 4.5 - AASAIVAI Azhwar's advise.  Here Azhwar advises to involve in nAma sankeertanam and hence  name our children after HIS divine name so that we utter his nAmam automatically. 371:## aasaivaay senRa sindhaiyaraahi* annai aththan enpuththirar boomi* vaasavaar kuzhalaaL enRu mayaNGgi* maaLum ellaik kaNvaay thiRavaadhE* kEsavaa! purushOththamaa! enRum* kEzhalaakiyakEdilee! enRum* pEsuvaaravar eydhum perumai* pEsuvaan puhil n^am paramanRE. (2) 1. 371. Even as the soul is leaving the body, do not let your mind  waver  and lament - “my mother, father, children, land and my wives with fragrant hair”, instead cry out KESAVA, PURUSHOTHAMA, THE BLEMISHLESS VARAHA MOORTHY!!. No words can explain the bliss that one gets by chanting these names.
