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

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

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

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

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

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)
