PERIYA TIRUMOZHI 2.1
PASURAMS 1048 - 1057
TiruvEnkatam 4



Not everyone gets to relish divine experiences. In that way azhvAr is so delighted that his heart does not ponder over unnecessary interest, rather it’s inclined towards the Lord. 
So at the end of every verse he addresses his heart saying “adimai thozhiL pOndAyE”.

1048.vAnavar thangaL sindhai pOla en nenjamE! inidhu vandhu 

mAdhava
mAnavar thangaL sindhai amarndhu uRaiginRa endhai


kAnavaridu kAragiRpugai Ongu vEngadam mEvi 

mAN kuRaL
Ana andhaNaRku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (1) (2)

1048.Oh my dear heart! Similar to the thoughts of Nithyasoories (வானவர்), You became subservient to the Lord, who took the form of vAmana and is seated in the heart of the beings who have done much penance. This very same Swami resides in Tirumala where the whole place is dispersed by smoke caused by burning the wood of the agil tree for cooking by hunters. (1)


1049.uRavu suRRam enRu onRilA oruvan ugandhavar thammai maNmisaip
piRaviyE keduppAn adhu kaNdu en nenjam enbAy!
kuRavar mAdhargaLOdu vaNdu kuRinji maruL isai pAdum vEngadaththu
aRava nAyagaRku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (2)

1049.
Oh my dear heart! EmperumAn who is not bounded by any blood relationship due to prArabdha karma, will wipe away the sin of being born in this world for his ardent devotees . Even you realised this goodness and became subservient to the Lord who is the embodiment of dharma residing in Tiruvenkadam where the bees along with the gypsies sing different forms of music like kurinji, maruL and so on. (2)


1050.iNdaiyAyina koNdu thoNdargaL EththuvAr uRavOdum vAnidaik
koNdu pOyidavum adhu kaNden nenjam enbAy!
vaNdu vAzh vada vEngada malai kOyil koNdu adhanOdum mImisai
aNdam ANdiruppARku adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (3)

1050.
Oh my dear heart! EmperumAn comes forward and leads those who worship Him with garlands made from flowers brought from all corners, together with their relatives to the eternal abode. Realising this compassionate nature, you became subservient to the lord who governs the eternal abode (Paramapadham),at the same time stands in Tiruvenkadam situated in the north swarmed by bees. (3)


1051.pAviyAdhu seydhAy en nenjamE! paNdu thoNdu seydhArai maNmisai
mEvi AtkoNdu pOy visumbERa vaikkum endhai
kOvi nAyagan koNdalundhuyar vEngada malaiyANdu vAnavarkku
AviyAy iruppARku adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (4)

1051.
Oh my dear heart! With an undeviating mind, you became subservient to the lord who took various avatArs earlier to conquer His devotees and liberate them to the eternal abode. He governs being the soul of even the devAs (வானவர்) and is the beloved of the GopikAs, who is present in the cloud laden stately hills  of Tiruvenkadam. (4)


1052.pongu bOdhiyum piNdiyummudaip puththar nOnbiyar paLLiyuLLuRai

engum vAnavar dhAnavar niRaindhEththum vEngadam mEvi ninRaruL
angaNAyagaRku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (5)

1052.
Oh my dear heart! Even though the Buddhist and the Jains who shelter themselves under the huge banyan tree with its spreading branches and the Ashoka tree respectively, are spanned over extensively with their swami in their temples, you refrained from joining them. Instead you became subservient to the all gracious beautiful eyed lord of TiruvEnkatam who is worshiped even by the devAs and asurAs. (5)
Tirumala, where the deerherds roam around freely - 2.1.6

1053.thuvariyAdaiyar mattaiyar samaN thoNdargaL maNdiyuNdu pinnarum
thamarum thAngaLumE thadikka en nenjam enbAy!
kavari mAkkaNam sErum vEngadam kOyil koNda kaNNAr visumbidai
amara nAyagaRku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (6)

1053.
Oh my dear heart! The monks who wear saffron clothes and tonsure their heads mingle with each other, luxuriate in heavy food and stay obese. I am happy that you ignored such a life and became subservient to the lord who is the head of Nithyasoories residing in the hills of Tirumala where the deer herds roam around freely. (6)


1054.tharukkinAl samaN seydhu sORu thaN thayirinAl thiraLai midaRRidai

marutkaL vaNdugaL pAdum vEngadam kOyil koNdu adhanOdum vAnidai
arukkan mEvi niRpARku adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (7)

1054.
Oh my dear heart! Few blindly argue proving that their religion is the best and keep spreading it. They undertake cruel vows which are really frightening. Refraining from all these you became subservient to the Lord who prevails as the antaryAmi of the Sun and present in TiruvEnkatam ever buzzing with bees . (7)


1055.sEyan aNiyan siRiyan periyan enbadhum silar pEsak kEttirundhE
en nenjam enbAy! enakku onRu sollAdhE
vEygaL ninRu veNmuththamE sori vEngada malai kOyil mEviya
Ayar nAyagaRku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (8)

1055.
Oh my dear heart! Few feel that Paramapadha nAthan is not reachable. Few others do not bother even though He is present so close as a deity in the temple  . Thinking about His avatars to be either lowly or profound, they recede or refrain from worshipping Him. Whereas, even after listening to all these, you opted to be subservient to the Lord who is the head of cowherd clan residing in TiruvEnkatam where the bamboo splits open and shower pearls everywhere. (8)

1056.kUdiyAdi uraiththadhE uraiththAy en nenjam enbAy! thuNindhu kEL
pAdiyAdip palarum paNindhEththik kANgilAr
Adu thAmaraiyOnum Isanum amarar kOnum ninREththum vEngadaththu
Adu kUththanukku inRu adimaith thozhil pUNdAyE (9)

1056.
Oh my dear heart! You have been mingling with people and lamenting the same thing repeatedly. Stop all your stories and listen to me boldly. Even after worshipping and singing the praise of the Lord, many have not realised his greatness. He, who is worshipped by Brahma seated on the Lotus, Shiva and Indra together in the hills of TiruvEnkatam, is the very same KrishnA who did the kuravai koothu ( a form of dance). Now I am happy that, you became subservient to this Lord . (9)

1057.minnu mAmugil mEvu thaN thiruvEngada malai kOyil mEviya
annamAy nigazhndha amarar perumAnaik
kanni mAmadhiL mangaiyar kali kanRi inthamizhAl uraiththa im
mannu pAdal vallArkku idamAgum vAnulagE (10)

1057.
The Lord who is the master of the Nithyasoories and took the form of a swan  resides in the hills of TiruvEnkatam where lightning appears amidst clouds. Those who sing the verses sung by the AzhvAr who is king of the Tirumangai with ramparts and who annihilated the sins of Kali will live eternally in Paramapadham (heaven). (10)

AMALANADIPIRAN

-
*AMALANADIPIRAN*by  *TIRUPPANAZHVAR* This Divya Prabandam called AMALANADIPIRAN, finds its place after ‘Tiruppalliyezhuchi’ as the 8th Prabandam in the first set of thousand songs referred as’MudalAyiram’.  Although this is a short and crisp Prabandam with only 10 verses, the philosophy and the theory embedded is ten folds bigger. Engrossed in the beauty or the soundaryam of Periya perumAL, this AzhvAr also referred as pAN perumAl or munivAhana, potrays the lord from tiruvadi to tirumudi (foot to head).  Yoga sAstra, is said to have 8 limbs. Actually there are 7 and the 8th one being the angAngi. The same can be observed here in this Prabandam too. AzhvAr describes individually emperumAn’s kamalapAdam, undhi(bellybutton), udharabandham(girdle), tiruvAramArbu(chest), kandam(neck), chevvAi(mouth), kaNgal(eyes) and as the angAngi neela mEni(his whole body). Let us also delve in this Prabandam and enjoy lord RANGANATHA and be bestowed with his blessings. Tiru-pAN-AzhvAr, an e...

Podhu thaniyans Let us first enjoy the podhu thaniyans. rAmAnuja dhayApAthram jnAna vairAgya bhooshaNam | srImath vEnkatanAthAyam vandhE vEdhAntha dhESikam || Meaning: I worship Vedanta Desikan (Acharya or preceptor uniquely praised as such due to his great contribution and strict adherence to Vedanthic tradition), named Venkata nAthan, endowed with auspiciousness and glories, who was a receptacle of the mercy (dayA) of his AchArya Sri Ramanuja, and who was adorned with the jewels of wisdom (jnAnam) and detachment (VairAgyam). There is also another thaniyan which is recited :(by the sishyas of thennAcharya sampradayam): Sri SailEsa dayA pAthram dhI bhakthyAdhi guNArNavam | yathIndhra pravaNam vandhE ramya jAmAthram munim || Meaning: I salute Sri ManavaaLa MaamunigaL, who has the blessings of Thiruvaai...

NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI - 2

 NACHCHIYAR TIRUMOZHI 2* PASURAMS 514 – 523 NAmam Ayiram.... Realising the intense intention of the Aychiyar girls to unite with Him, KaNNan is startled and confused at the thought that, “why should the Ayar girls be worried to get united with me, when it is me, who have to be really worried about the union with them? For the same reason, instead of approaching me, why do they seek the help of a different deity?”  So kaNNan decides to appear before AndAl, to help her in the similar way He helped the gopikAs of gokulam by stopping their offerings to Lord Indra and diverting it to Govardhana mountain.  Here AndAl tries to ignore Him and even picks up a tiff with him arguing and fighting, not to spoil and destroy the small sand castles that they have made for their deity kAmadevan. “engal siRRil vandu sidaiyELE” 514 * nAmam Ayiram Eththa ninRa *  nArAyaNA! naranE! * unnai mAmi than maganAgap petRAl *  emakku vAdhai thavirumE **  kAmanpOtharu kAlam enRu * ...
