PERIYA TIRUMOZHI 1.6
PASURAMS 998 TO 1007
 
*TIRU NAIMISHARANYAM*, *UTTAR PRADESH* *MANGALASHASANAM*

(DEVARAJAN AND PUNDAREEKAVALLI)

AzhvAr was constantly instructing his heart to reach the chosen abodes of the lord. Suddenly considering his total helplessness  (ananyagathithvam) and remembering the way he lead his previous life, surrenders himself at the divine feet of the lord at naimiSAraNyam under PiraaTTi’s (recommendation) purushaAkAram. 

This is one among the eight swayam vyaktha kshEtrams. Here the lord stand as the forest itself as denoted by the word  ‘AraNya’ meaning forest. ‘nEmi’, refers to the outer ring of the chakra. Brahma threw the grass chakra, on request by the sages to choose a place for doing penance. The place where it fell is called ‘naimishAraNya’, as stated in brahmAnda purAna. VarAha PurANa states that lord Vishnu threw his discus to sweep away the demons in just a minute  (nimisha = minute).

Naimisharanya is also known as “Nimsar” or “Nimkhar” and is located on the left bank of the river Gomati in Uttar Pradesh. The only AzhvAr who has done mangalasasanam (extolled) for this ksEtram is Tirumangai AzhvAr.

998.My dear swAmi, who has taken naimishAraNyam as your abode, I was with the intention that, ultimate bliss lies in the bright beautiful damsels with radiant teeth, small forehead, broad shoulders and tender bosoms. Not apprehending the thought to be wrong and being totally foolish, I did not even try to find a means to get rid of my samsAric cycle. 

Feeling totally ashamed of my previous acts, and thoughts towards women, I now surrender at your feet, who is my sovereign. “naimishAraNiyattu entAy!”.(1)

 999. My dear swAmi, who has taken naimishAraNyam as your abode, I wasted all the precious time, giving priority to the mounting pleasures of the senses that could have otherwise been spent in cherishing your divine attributes. Without even the least realisation about your dharmik nature, I went behind pretty ladies with beautiful long black eyes adorned with anklets on their feet.

Oh! Wonderous lord, wielding the plough in your divine hands and born in the cowherd clan, you are the head of the dEvas and celebrated by nithyasoories. I now come and surrender at your feet.

“naimishAraNiyattu entAy!”. (2)

 1000.My dear guardian lord! who churned the milky ocean, bestowed the divine nectar and guarded the dEvas, you have taken naimishAraNyam as your chosen abode.

 On account of acquiring wealth, I gambled through the day and deployed myself to burglary through the night. Not stopping there, having serious attraction towards the curly hair damsels, I spent my time serving them. 

After all this, realising the punishment and trauma that lies ahead, to be given by the servants of yamA for my misdeeds, my organs shiver in fear and I come surrendering myself unto you. 

“naimishAraNiyattu entAy!”. (3)

 1001. My dear lord!, who has taken naimishAraNyam as your abode, It is said that if one betrays his own beautiful wife with fragrant tresses and eye on others wealth and their women, the servants of yama will appear in thousands, to torment  and as they get tired, bring a copper model of a woman that is blazing hot and ask us to embrace it. 

I come rushing, to surrender at your feet, oh! Lord, fearing the very thought of the torture and the harsh words that one has to face and listen after death, by thousands of yamA’s servants. “naimishAraNiyattu entAy!”. (4)

1002. My dear swAmi, who has taken naimishAraNyam as your abode, struck by poverty, when mendicants seek alms, crying to curb their hunger with at least  a single meal, as a mean person I refrained saying, “I have nothing to give”. 

Oh! Gosh! Thinking about the repercussion of my sinful act, fetching me severe torments by yamA’s servants who are barbarous in words and action, I come running to your divine feet oh! lord. (naimishAraNiyattu entAy!) (5)

1003. Oh! lord of lords (paramanE!), resting in paramapadam for the sake of your devotees and chose naimishAraNyam as your abode, having a mind not inclined to ethical deeds and initiating acts that instigate anger, I rejoiced, roaming about hunting with dogs, killing animals and running afar, without realising that God is there. Now that I have taken refuge under your feet, I feel that the place of Yama has been crushed and crumbled.

1004. Oh! Lord of NaimishAraNiyam, who governs the nithyasoories and instil fright in demons (dhAnavar), you showed your anger to kapithAsuran who came in the guise of the vilam fruit  filled tree, but entered my heart whose thoughts and deeds  never go hand in hand and stayed permanently there. 

Hearing about the age old path of hell, that leads people who think, pronounce and perform the unrighteous deeds, I ran towards you trembling in fear.

(naimishAraNiyattu entAy!) (7)

1005. Oh! Lord of NaimishAraNiyam, hued like the deep spread ocean, who has taken Thirukkurungudi as one of your abode, Kali purushan activated the five senses to torment on me. But I have reversed the fierce actions of these senses by uttering well metered garland of songs. 

How can these senses be active anymore when I have surrendered and fallen at your feet?

(naimishAraNiyattu entAy!) (8)

1006. Oh! My gracious master, who is present in a reclining state on the deep wavy tiruppArkadal, Lord of NaimishAraNiyam, who is the consort of Periya PiraaTTi having the nectar borne lotus as her seat, when the soul leaves this temporary dwelling place of the body made of flesh over the skeleton as pillars and covered with skin and hair, having nine holes, I was with the idea that I wanted to be at your divine feet. 

Now with great penance, I am blessed to be at your feet

Oh! SwAmi, of NaimishAraNyam, the dEvAs along with their leader IndrA, having the sole intention of getting enlivened from miseries, unitedly come to worship you. Holding this thought deeply in his heart,Kaliyan indulged in bakthi, set to meter these garland of songs about Lord Shri Hari.

Those who comprehend and recite these songs are sure to govern this land surrounded by ocean under the royal white canopy (வெண் கொà®±்à®± குடை) and unite with the nithyasoories too. (10)


ThAyAr Shri Hari Lakshmi and perumAL Shri Hari Thiruvadigale Sharanam.

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.

KANNINUN SIRUTAMBU

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

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

 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.
