finding and offering daily rare flowers at the ever fresh lotus feet of Narayana

such special Lotus flowers are to be placed at His Lotus Feet everyday; For that
purpose only, the parts are created. Even then, I have been suffering from being
away
from Him; It is my destiny and my ill luck only. Why did this state come to me?
You
please go and tell my this state to emperumaan and get a good reply and make us
join

Offer Him Holy pure water, then, offer Him Good (sugandha) smelling "saambhiraaN

smiled and said,"This is addressed to us, bhaagavathaaLs from nammAzhwAr- Not to
the

to
see us suffering due to the thick smoke irrtating our eyes (from any other wood)

the thorn pricking us while plucking the flowers For the Lord; Hence he selected
them

2.1.11

11.NammAzhwAr has sung about the Primordial Chief who is in all things and
beings and AzhwAr has limitless, unsatisfying love for Him and has sung
thousand pasurams. Out of these ten will enamble those who read stay
permanently at Sri Vaikuntam.

2.2.1

1.The Emperumaan showing all His innumerable auspicious attributes has

captured me- He is the Primordial Chief of all lOkAs(worlds) - ever
existent and ; IT IS CERTAIN that He is the ONLY ONE who can grant us all
including mOksham.During cosmic cycle end, He is the one who keeps the
earth and the sky (the entire Universe) in His stomach and showers mercy
on all beings; He is kaNNan and is the Only One and without whom NO ONE
else can help us.

2.2.2
2.He is the One who can remove all our sins with His grace and mercy. He
is the One who rempoved the sin of Siva when Siva comitted the sin of
plucking one of Brahmaa's heads; He is such a Graceful, Merciful
Emperumaaan! That Male Lion Gopalan- withou Him, who else can shower mercy
on ALL BEINGS? It is a PITY THAT We are wasting OUR TIME having this
burden of talking and reasoning out His parathvam without enjoying and
contemplating on His kalyANa guNAs.(What an anubhavam of our Sweet
NammAzhwAr!)

2.2.3
3.He - the Emperumman has got Sivaa, Brahmaa and the Periya Piraatti in
His Beautiful body without any discrimination. He is the One who is
worshipped by all dEvAs. He is the One who took the Great Thrivikrama
avathaaram and measured the entire earth. Is there any Deivam (God)
superior to Him OR EVEN EQUAL ? (Don't even ask)
2915:

poovil _naan mukanaip padaiththa,*

thEvan em perumaanukku allaal,*
poovum poosanaiyum thakumE.
2.2.4
4.The Emperumaan created Brahmaa in His Lotus- navel in order to let him
create all beings. The One who has allured me with His kalyANa guNAs- Is
it Correct to offer flowers, Garlands, and prayers to somone else and Not
my Sweetheart, Emperumaan? No.

5.The Emeprumaan has got jnAnam, sakthi to create all sentient and
non-sentient beings from His moola prakrithi and HE ALONE IS CAPABLE OF
THIS. He is the Red Lotus eyed Lord who is the Only One capable of
creating dEvAs, too. With His beauty He has stupefied me and Such
Emeprumaan ALONE is the Parathvam. Is there anyone who knows that there is
a God superior to My Emperumaan? Nobody.

2.2.6
6.During the Cosmic Cycle end (PraLaya kaalam) He keeps all beings
(sentients and non-sentients- chEthanAs and achEthanAs) in His stomach
without getting any of these beings cramped or crushed. He has got the
ThirumEni (Divine Body) which is illumined, Bright, lustrous nature full
of jNanam (knowledge) - Such Moorthy of mine, is having His yOga nithraa
on the ThoruppaRkadal(Milky Oecan in Sri Vaikuntam).

2.2.7
7.He is the One who kept all beings in His stomach and all seven lOkAs
too, took care of them and lied down on the small leaf of Banyan tree. Who
can comprehend His Thought and Maya? Who can understand what is in His
mind? No one can- Absolutely NOT.

8.Just by a thought alone He can create everyone including dEvAs and is
capable of that. He is THE ONLY ONE who can keep all in Him without any
disease to all of us and takes care. He is so merciful. He is the Only One
who can do that.
2920:

2.2.9
9.His Nature is to protect all beings. That is KaNNan. When He wants to
destroy the Universe, He takes us in Him and protects us. Then, He creates
Brahmaa and delegates to him for creating all of us again (from Him).
2921:

10.Sivan, Brahmaa and Indran and all other dEvAs too, prostrate at His
Lotus Feet and pay obeisances and address Him " Oh Robber (of our Hearts)!
Emeprumman! the One who created us and all seven lOkAs!" .

2.2.11
11.The Thrivikraman is the One who meassured the entire Universe in one
step and was hailed for such an act. NammAzhwAr has sung 1000 pasurams on
such Emperumaan and those who read these ten pAsurams (with an
understanding of their meanings) can have NO SINS to their accout and no
blemish at all. (All will be removed by the Lord!)

1.Oh mind, the one which lives in this physical body!, Due to my being
blessed with such a good companion like you, I have got the parama bhAgyam
of entagling and entwining myself with the Lord of dEvAs, Madhusoodhanan.
With our mixing with each other, all sorts of tastes have appeared. The
taste is as if Honey, Milk, Ghee, Sugarcane juice, Nectar are all mixed
within that. (Implies the joining of JeevAthmA and ParamAthmA is much much
tastier than any thing else and is the most superior tast of all.

2.There are none EQUAL to you; Oh Lord! There are none superior to you;
Like that You have MOST WONDERFUL kalyANa guNAs; You have taken
avathaarams as a parama solwlabhyan (inspite of Your Grand Great kalyANa
guNAs); You have helped me by being my Master, My Life, my Mother and my
Father- by teaching me all that I did NOT know (about You); I still DO NOT
know what You are upto.

3.Oh EmperumaanE! Even without the knowledge of Periya Piraatti, You took
the Short VaamanAvathaaram and begged mahAbhali for the Three measurements
of earth. As You cheated him, You have cheated me and entered into my
heart. I was caught in complete ignorance and wrong knowledge and You have
enabled me to know the truth (at such a young age for me) and You have
instilled a desire in me to get enslaved by You and to perform the
kainkaryam to You. What a MERCY YOU POSSESS!

2.3.4

4.My Dear Father, the One who kept all sven lOkAs in Your stomach and
protected during the Cosmic Cycle end(PraLayam)! The Lowly slef, I am- and
Such A Great You, My Emeprumaan- You have entered into my Jeevan and
joined me - What can I give you back for that? I can give You back my Life
and AthmA for that. After geiving the AthmA to You, How can I get out
alone? Are You not the One who is living in me as my Jeevan? It is even
POINTLESS to SAY THAT I AM GIVING MY ATHMAA TO YOU. It is ridiculous. (
THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF SRI VAISHNAVA PHILOSOPHY, SISTERS AND BROTHERS!).
Who am I? Who is my Jeevan? When both of us are Your properties, You are
only taking back what belongs to You.

2.3.5

5.Unless You shower mercy, it is just NOT possible for even GREAT scholars
to know You. Such EmperumaanE!, my Lord! The One who grants mOksham to
bhakthAs! the One who is like a Nectar which is not form the Milky Ocean!
(means, with no efforts, I got You as the amirtham). Are You NOT the One
who is the Primary cause behind all these anubhavams and nectar that I
have? You prtected the seven lOkAs by taking the Varaaha avathaaram. Such
a GREAT Emperumaan You are and I have reached Your Lotus Feet. Haven't I?

6.The BhakthAs and BhagavathALs who have surrendered to You as the Only
redemption- You have become the Poison for all their sins and killed their
sins. Your are the One who grants them the Knowledge about You and makes
them think about You at all times in their minds and not lament with
separation form You- You are the Lustrous Light who does all these. Oh
Valourous One who cut the nose of soorpaNakA! I, Your servant- Have I
reached You today ONLY? (NO!) Have I not got You the day my AthmA was
created? (What a simple narration of AzhwAr of our Rich Philosophy!)

2.3.7

7.You are like the Music that is played in the VeeNA. You are the Supreme
pleasure that can NOT be even enjoyed by Nitya sUris (even if they wished
to). You are the Purest One. You are the Sugarcane Juice and the Nectar
and so sweet and You are the Blue hued Cloud coloured Lord. KaNNA! there
is NO ONE to prtect me eecept You. Hence, Please do not forget me and You
should aim to take care of me.

8.Since I have retained and sent my mind in the lines of KaNNan (His
upadEsams- GitA) , the One who stole the Butter and Milk, I am able to get
rid of birth cycle. Thus, the one that can only be attained by Great
yOgAs, I could get parabhakthi by Emperumaan's grace in this birth itself
(with no effort of mine!) within few days only.

9.Emeprumaan, Kannan wears the Thirutthuzhaay garland. He is the Chief of
Nitya sUris. He has the ThirumEni (the Divine Body) which has nothing
equal to any thing even at Parama padham (Sri Vaikuntam). He is the Purest
of all. By involving myself and singing and dancing His glories and
kalyANa guNAs and getting excited, the dirt and diseases at the bottom of
mu mind are all completely removed. I have been saved!

2.3.10
10.The Sexual pleasure, the sadness when I do not get that- the Birth,
the diseases that come in these births, old age, death- Removing all these
(from this body) When will I join the BhagavathALs with the lustrous
shining body of mine ?When will I reach the BhagavathALs of the
Maayappiraan, the One who has the Divine Conch (sanghu) and the Divine
ChakrA?

11. Emperumaan destroyed the entire kulam of ravaNan and the army of
rAkshasaas. About such a Lord, NammAzhwAr has sung thousand pAsurams.Oh
BhagavathAs! the readers of these ten pAsurams out of those thousand! You
all should SING AND DANCE IN GROUPS THESE TEN PASURAMS AND ENJOY THE LORD
AND ATTAIN MOKSHAM.

1.My daughter, the one who has a shining face, is now even unable to stand
at one place and has been restless. Her heart has been melting and her
eyes and cheeks are full of tears and has been singing of Him. She has
been searching for Him desperately at all places and has been calling
"NarasimhA! NarasimhA!" She has been weltering that Lord NarasimhA
immediately arrived for PrahlAdA while He never comes for her at all.

vaaNAsuran). My beautiful girl is so foolish and wishes to see you and has
been languishing. But You are not blessing her with Your darshan and You
do not wish it appears!

suffering, is a soft and kind hearted girl. Like the wax melting just at
the sight of fire, she has also been melting thinking of You, Dear Lord!
You are NOT KIND HEARTED and You ahve deserted her in this sorry state and
made her suffer. The One who could cross the Ocean and destroyed rAvaNA;
Is it difficult for Him to do something for this girl?

tears continuously rolling down her cheeks all the time.

giving such a garland to this poor girl, who has been languishing days and

always and that appears to be even drying her jeevan completely with her
suffering. She has been calling You "kaNNA! the One who sleep on the Milky
Ocean!". She has even been thinking of Your bed as her possession (So much
of languishing from Love for You, Lord!)

having You as the Only redemption, she has been suffering tremendously;
(Should You not help her join You? Why should You trouble this poor girl?)

daughter, the innocent girl, is always in tears; She has been crying day
and night thinking of You and been suffering from the pangs of separation
from You, Lord! Please do NOT let her youthful, beautiful, eyes (eyes like
those of deer) lose its beauty and shine; (Since others can get salvation
from her eyesight - means She is the BhAgavathA and her kataaksham can

bring salvation to many others- Do not spoil that- What an imagination and

Himself adorned with the Most Beautiful garlands, crown, conch, chakrA,

8.My Lord, the One who has the Loveliest hair and Crown, is a Lion;
(seeriya singham- AndAL); the Four Shouldered Lord- there is no limit for
His guNAs, Where is the end for talking about His nature? Without having
any discimination, (in spite of my lowest nature), He has stayed in me and
has united with me; To pray to Him and to talk about His such GREATEST
NATURE, there is no word and no end in description; How can I capture the
description and narrating ABOUT HIM in words! (Impossible!)

9..(SISTERS AND BROTHERS, AZHWAR IS ADDRESSING US) All of you talk and
tell about My Lord; Mt AhthmA'a AthmA, the unbounded, limitless, Black
Emerald, My Lord- pay obeisance to Him; He is SO SWEET like NECTAR, He is
the CHIEF OF MIKSHA ULAGAM and can not be attained so EASILY(except with
your surrender unto Him); He has the Most Fragrant smell of alli flowers;
He is neither masculine nor feminine;

10.My Lord is neither masculine; nor feminine; not even
napumsakan(in-between); He can not be seen by eyes; BUT CAN BE SEEN BY
BHAGAVATHALS. and CAN NOT be seen by those who are NOT; (sisters and
brothers, this statement of AzhwAr has made me so much remorse with tears
for I have NOT been able to see Him- and hence I am NOT a BhAgavathA. I am
only having a veLi vEsham - Is there any redemption for me, dear ones!).
He appears in a form in which we want Him to appear. He can be NOT IN THAT
FORM too; WHILE SAYING ALL THESE, ONE THING IS TO BE TOLD ABOUT HIM- My
Lord is the Strongest and the Greatest.

state of mind to keep longing for You and think of You only and reject
everything else; My Father! I will never leave You at anytime; I have
immersed myself in a Big flood of Glorious attributes of Yours and have
sung and danced in it; I have gotten rid of all my diseases from this body
and obtained salvation. Hence, I will NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU, LORD!

5.My Father! I have obtained salvation by thinking about You always; I
have learnt the nature of my athmA and have found the difference from
others' thinking of the same; Hence, I have been granted by You the
servitude to perform kainkaryam at Your feet with You as my Lord! Thus,
the sins accrued over the ages due to my past karmaas could be destroyed;
Hereafter, I will NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU. What GREAT Help You have done to
me , my Lord, the One who sleeps on the AdhisEshA! I will always THINK OF
YOU, LORD.

Lord, Sriman Narayanan and His most auspicious attributes(kalyAna guNAs).

attributes and His strengths; He has granted me with His mercy and enabled
me dance singing His Glories all the time; He has enslaved me and has
DESTROYED all my sins accrued over the ages; All my relatives from all my

than MADHUSOODHANAN; and There is no USE EVEN from others; hence, for

obtain the opportunity for mOksham; When I was trying for all other
'WORLDLY" matters (AzhwAr says "izhavu" for materialistic pursuits - an
excellent- most appropriate word- :"andha izhavukkutthAnE naam naayaa

me, He took so many Excellent Avataars; With the GRACE of THRIVIKRAMAN, I
was DESTINED to fall into His trap; HOW MERCIFUL IS HE, MY LORD
THRIVIKRAMAN! (WOW! What a usage and How nicely put by AzhwAr about the
"MaarjAla saraNagathi" here- while it is actually a COMBINATION and the
CROSS BREED OF MAARJAALAM and MATKATAKAM that does the trick for ALL
BHAGAVATHAALS, SISTERS and BROTHERS!- It is correct that mother knows to

Greatest Bliss and Enjoyment of Your anubhavam has been GROWING DAY BY DAY

You; call You "SREEDHARAA!, SENTHAAMARAIKKANNAA! (Red Lotus Eyed Lord!)"

the kaRpaka vruksham (kaRpaka tree- in dEvalOkA- that is capable of
everything one wishes!) and is of Blue Hued Lord and stands at
ThiruvEnkadam; He is My father who is also the Chief of NityasUris- (Akila
jagadh swamin- and asmath swamin- Sriranga nAtha and mama nAthA!) He is
DAMODHARAN- the One who has got the marks of the rope (which was tied to
His Body by the MOST LUCKIEST YASODHA for His stealing butter!- in fact,
there is an interesting anecdote that uopn Mahalakshmi's request, when
Lord Sriman Narayana at Sri Vaikuntam helped Himself to get some fruits
from the tree, the "utthriyam"(upper piece of cloth) fell and exposed His
marks of the rope to MahAlakshmi and SHE SAW THE MARKS; Our "poor" Sriman
Narayana had to say all sorts of stories to cover up His mischiefs and
stealing acts (BUT FAILED)- Since then it seems He makes it a point to
wear the Golden waist band (OttiyaaNam) in order not to further
embarassment to Him- How Sweet it would have been to witness the
Primordial Chief- SARVA VALLABHAN - getting Himself tied down by a small
simple rope by the ARIVONDRUMILLAADHA AAYKKULATTHU" yasOdhA- It appears
all dEvAs including Brahmaa and Sivan assembled at the sky and saw THIS
MOST SOWLABHYA EVENT;What a Lord! What a Lord! What a Lord is OUR SRIMAN
NARAYANAN!)

1.Emeprumaan- who unites Himself
with MahAlakshmi, (who stays on the Lotus Flower) and lies down on the
AdhsEshA- Just to see Him and His nature ITSELF is the ABSOLUTE BLISS. He
is the cause for BrahmA and Sivan. He is the One who takes avataars to
cater to our requirements. He is like a log of wood when we are getting
ourselves drowned in Samsaaric Ocean and the Ocean of Births and Deaths.

and spit them back after the Cosmic Cycle end; He hugged the Most
Beautiful shoulders of Nappinnaip piraatti; Who can see all His actions?

8.Wh is capable of seeing my Sweet Lord KaNNan? Who can see Him? No one
can even think what He eats; Even the whole world is not for one munch
with His mouth. His Home is BEYOND all worlds; He is the One in
Everything; He is the One spread everywhere;

9.PrahalAda, the son of HiraNyakasipu, said to his father " KaNNan is in

all places". When he was asked by his father "Doe He live in this pillar?"
and showed a pillar, PrahalAda said "Yes, Of course.". Our Lord made a

SUPERFAST move into the pillar before it was broken by HiraNya kasipu and
was killed by Lord NrsimhA. Is there any point in doubting His
capabilities? Is there any capacity for us to even get to knoe His powers?
NO.

10.Emperumaan- the One who is the beginning and the end of Most wonderful
Paramapadham, Heaven and the Hell. He is the One who has all dEvAs. He is
the One who becomes the seed, the trunk, the branches and the finale for
everything; Such a KaNNapiraan- I HAVE SEEN HIM;

11.Our NammAzhwAr has sung 1000 pAsurams about the Lord Sriman Narayanan,
one who is the Black emerald and has got Red Lotus Eyes; Ones who read
these 10 pAsurams out of 1000 pAsurams are DEFINITE to get mOksham and
enjoy absolute Bliss.

1. Oh EmperumaanE!the One, who removed the sorrows of GajEndrA! However
great mOksham may be, I have no interest in it; All that I wish is "You
shall always rest Your Feet on my head and save me". I want this only.

2. Oh PerumaanE! The dark hued, lustrous maNivaNNA! My Father! Even when
asked infinite times, my answer will still be the same. Give me a hand of
jnAnam (knowledge) to lift me up to reach Your Lotus Feet. (here jnAnA is
considered as another hand to lift . Embaar explains to aNdAAn that more
hands will only facilitate a person being lifted;)

3. KaNNapiraanE! The One who has Divine ChakrA in His hands, showers mercy
on us and advises us not to commit sins. Even in the last dying moment,
when my throat gets choked up with phlegm, I should remember to pray to
Your Lotus Feet and You should grant me that, Lord.("appothaikku ippothe

4. "At all times, I should
me and let me possess that
permanently in my heart. I
should take me in that way

be served"-like that, You should always advise

knowledge. EmperumaanE! You should always stay
should be only Your property (thanakkE) and You
to Your Feet. All that I need is that.

5. When the jeevan gets out of my body, whether I get mOksham or Heaven or
Hell- I do not bother. Let me not even get any of these. BUT, I WILL NOT
FORGET THE EMPERUMAAN and WILL ALWAYS ENJOY HIM, the One WHO is capable of
granting me to get out of these Births;

6. My Chief, My Lord! You created the dEvAs; You have spread among all
that one can see- chEthanAs and achEthanAs (sentient and non-sentient
beings); You have become the Sun and the Moon; Such a Great Lord, You areI should happily pray to You with my speech, mind and actions and You
should bless me with that.

7. You are not granting me the bhAgyam of staying at Your Feet and not
leaving that at all in future' You are not even letting me have You in my
heart for a day! Hence, You should come to me at all times, under all
situations, EmperumaanE!

stay in my heart as my father. I WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

9. I and my possessions are Your property and we are at Your service; I

did not have this knowledge and had a wrong knowledge- I had "I" and
"mine" attitudes, so long. Now I am Yours and my possessions are also
Yours; You are the Chief of NityasUris and our Chief!

10. You are the One who won seven oxen; You destroyed the lankA to ashes;
Oh my lustrous shining ParanjyOthi! PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE MY PRESENT STATE
OF MIND AND LEAVE ME! I MIGHT CHANGE tomorrow and commit sins! Hence,
Please take me to Your Lotus Feet! PLEASE NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE. (How true
these words are!- they more applicable to us than to AzhwAr)

11. Those who read these 10 pAsurams out of 1000 pAsurams (composed by
kurugoor sadagOpan), which have been sung on SarvEswaran, the One who has
Divine chakrA in His hands, are DEFINITE to attain the amrut (deathless)

2.10.1

It is wise to take shelter, without weariness, at MAliruncOlai, surrounded

by thriving young plants, where the wondrous Lord of increasing splendor has
made his abode before one loses his peaking lustrous youtfulness.
3003:

athir kural saNGkaththu* azakar_thamkOyil,*
mathithavazkudumi* maaliruncOlai,*
pathiyathu Eththi* ezuvathu payanE.
2.10.2
It is to advantage to thrive by eulogizing the divine place,
TirumAliruncOlai, with the moon hovering over its peak, where Lord Alagar,
with the conch of thunderous sound, has made his abode, without caring for
the solicitude of clever young maids.
3004:

puyalmazai vaNNar* purindhuRaikOyil,*
mayalmiku pozilsooz* maalirunchOlai,*
ayanmalai adaivathu* athukarumamE.
2.10.3
Mind! It is useless doing unremunerative work. It is (remunerative) work
even reaching the hill neighbouring MAliruncOlai, surrounded by dense trees
bewildering others (non-devotees), where the Lord of the hue of rain-bearing

clouds has relished making his abode.

3005:

perumalaiyeduththaan* pIduRaikOyil,*
varumazai thavazum* maalirunchOlai,*
thirumalaiyathuvE* adaivathuthiRamE.
2.10.4
It is but appropriate reaching that sacred hill, MAliruncOlai, grazed by
rain-bearing clouds, where the Lord who lifted the great mountain
(GOvardhana) dwells in all glory, (in order for us) to thrive doing service
freed from the bonds of karma.
3006:

2.10.5
It is in the right direction to reach the hill beside MAliruncOlai,
surrounded by clean and copious streams, where dwells the Lord with the
discus avowed rigteousness by sweeping out cruel sins with appropriate
mights, in his hands.
3007:

2.10.6

It is bliss to think even of taking the path to MAliruncOlai, where the does
are in company with their young, the temple of Lord (Krsna) who ate butter
stored in swings. Consider this a good way and do not commit lowly acts.
3008:

2.10.7
Approaching in an appropriate manner, it is strengthening to be in the
vicinity of MAliruncOlai with blemishless moon, hovering over where dwells
eternally the Lord who pulled out the earth at one time. Think of this as
bliss without drowning (yourself) in this hell (of samsara).

2.10.8

It is proper to stay and circumabulate daily MAiruncOlai, without losing

one's strength at any time, where celestials do likewise, the temple of the
cowherd of great deeds who gives stamina.
3010:

It is a ploy (to overcome mundane thoughts) to be in the fore front of

thinking of service at MAlirumcOlai with herds of young elephants, the great
temple graced by the Lord who killed the rakshasa woman (PUtana). Think of
this as proper custom without drowning yourself in intense sins.
3011:

2.10.10
It is a goal by itself entering MAlirumcOlai, the hill of blossoming
flowers, where the peacocks and their mates meet, the temple relished by the
Lord who expanded the Vedas (into gita and such other treatises). Do not
commit thefts and robberies as being remunerative.

2.10.11
These ten of the 1000 uttered with conviction bynCatakOpan of lovely
KurukUr, without illusions, on the fame of the Lord who begot this world as
a thing to reckon (for the progress of cetanas), will end in lauding on the
feet of the graceful (Sundarabahu).
