Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:
“PerumAn vandhilan (PermAn has not come)”- lamented and cried AzhwAr-
ParakalanAyaki pitiably. Emperumaan, the most compassionate Lord has
naturally melted and shows Himself off to AzhwAr at ThirukkaNNapuram. Now
the excited AzhwAr tells us .. He is here only for us, and saving us.. Come
and be saved.. Dearest sisters and brothers, come one and come all and be
saved by reading this ten from AzhwAr.
1. Oh BhagawthAs, who are desirous of Bhagavath kaimkaryam! I (am blessed
to) have found out the means to get saved. Ramapiraan, who angered on the
asurAs and made them tremble with fear (who had not known what fear is
before that); who has strong huge mountain like shoulders; who has the bent
bow with Him; who destroyed the band of raakshasaas. He has Veera srI with
Him. He is the personification of the victory.. Jaya Jaya mahaaveeran.. Maha
dheeran; He has taken sankalpam to be with BhUmi PiraaTTi and Periya
PiraaTTi and is at ThirukkaNNapuram, most willingly for saving us. Come and
let us pay obeisance to Him. (That is the only means.)
2. The Lord, who appeared riding on Garudan and chased large shouldered
Maali asuran, and made his head fall down on the ground. He made his
(Malli’s) entire group hide in a cave in lankA.. That greatest Lord has the
strong bent Bow in His Hand. His place is ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us
pay obeisance to Him. (That is the only means.)
3. Ramapiraan – who in order to save the creeper like waisted Beautiful SitA
PiraaTTi- crossed the ocean and angrily killed strong rAvaNan of lankA- the
strongest Lord, who killed the cruel thaatakai raakshasi when He saved
Viswaamaithrar’s yaagam with His Bow – That greatest Lord Rama’s abode is
this ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him
4. Ramapiraan built a bridge across the deep large ocean and entered along
with the monkeys into lankA (where the cruel strong raakshasaa reside led by
strongest rAvaNan). He made the ocean make the way for Him by bending the
Bow.. He made the monkeys help Him by bringing in the huge mountains and
large trees reach the ocean to build a bridge. That time, the water droplets
that splashed reached even the skies. That greatest Lord Rama is here at
ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him
5. The Lord is in the form of Tortoise, of Lion faced Human form, of the
forms of yaagams performed by Brahmins reciting Vedic hymns, of the form of
Time, of the Form of Rama, the One who cut the ten heads of strong RavaNan
of lanka surrounded by oceans, which is easily inaccessible for any
foreigner, of the form KaNNan, who made Kaaman- Manmathan. He willingly, out
of His own will stays at ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to
Him
6. Oh faultless heart of mine! Don’t worry and lament. Emperumaan, who had
made the great lankA city of rAvaNan be engulfed by his fiery anger and fire
of destruction; who had mercifully left VaaNaasuran by just cutting his 1000
hands and saving his life (without killing him); who had killed the dark
legged huge kuvalayaapeetam elephant; His living place permanently is
ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him
7. The Lord who had saved most mercifully the elephant GajEndran, when he
tried to pluck the flower for offering to Emperumaan in the middle of a
pond, and was caught by the cruel crocodile; who had blessed the kingdom of
lankA to the younger brother of rAvaNan (vibheeshaNan) when he simply
surrendered to Lord Rama with unflinching, unalloyed faith that He will
accept vibheeshanan, in spiote of being from the enemy camp, especially the
brother of the enemy. Such most compassionate Lord is SarvEshwaran Rama, who
had finished the mareechan (who came in disguise of a deer) is here at
ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him
8. Oh my dear mind-the one who is craze after PerumAn due to your prEmam
towards Him! Don’t worry about the suffering that you have undergone. Do you
know how it will get cured? By going to ThirukkaNNapuram where Emperumaan
willingly stays permanenetly for us. He is the One, who had crawled in
between the two marudha trees, and made them fall on the ground; who had
finshed off by killing the Kesi asuran, the demoness Poothanai, the seven
bulls, the mushtika chaaNoora wrestlers, and the one who killed the wheel
asuran (sakatAsuran) by just an effortless kick as an infant. Such greatest
lord is He. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him.
9. The Lord who made the torrential rains useless by lifting effortlessly
with His little finger and saving the cattle; who had killed the huge strong
seven bulls in order to unite the most beautiful Nappinnai PiraaTTi; who is
worshipped Nithyasooris; who does always the most wonderful acts; who went
as a messenger for pancha paaNdavaas; who killed sakatAsuran; who threw the
dhEnukaasuran aiming at a viLaampazha tree killing another asurA was sitting
as a viLaam fruit. That most wonderful, greatest Lord is here at
ThirukkaNNapuram. Come and let us pay obeisance to Him
10. This ten is on Emperumaan of ThirukkaNNapuram, where huge dark clouds
come and stay on top of tall buildings. He is My Swami; KaNNapiraan.
Kaliyan, who is blessed to be the recipient of Kannapiraan’s krupai,
composes this. He (Kaliyan) is the king of Thirumangai. Those who read this
ten will rule the whole world before joining Nithyasooris and respected by
them at SrivaikuNtam.
