Sri:
Dearest Sisters and Brother,
AzhwAr said in last ten, “Don’t worry. He is there at ThirukkaNNapuram.”.
Here he goes further. Leave alone not worrying; we should even enjoy His
darshan at ThirukkaNNapuram as mush as how we blissfully enjoy Him at
Paramapadham. You should read them for its rhyming words and excellent
chaste Tamil.
1. ThirukkaNNapuram is the place where swans learn how to walk from its
womenfolk’s gait. Here only Emperumaan, who killed the seven huge bulls and
whose broad, mountain like chest got squeezed by the tender breasts of
Nappinnai PiraaTTi, (who has Athma guNAs in its entirety) resides
permanently.
2. ThirukkaNNApuram is the place where Srivaishnavas share their rich
anubhavams and enjoyment of the kalyaNaguNAs of Emperumaan with each other.
Emperumaan, who crawled in between the two marudha trees; who killed seven
bulls at the swayamvaram in order to hug Nappinnai PiraaTTi, (having the
pair of beautiful tender breasts) resides here permanently.
3. When farmers work in their fields, the small rabbits that live in the
holes, jump in front of the farmers’ faces; also the small fishes jump from
the fields in front of their faces; In such a beautiful place of
ThirukkaNNapuram, Emperumaan, whose nature is to save us only, and who saved
the cattle and cowherd folks (who stood perturbed and worried with the
torrential downpour like stones) by lifting effortlessly the huge Govardhana
mountain resides here permanently.
4. ThirukkaNNapuram is the place where Periya PiraaTTi, Mahalaskhmi, the
one who sits on the honey filled lotus flower, surrounded by bees. KaNNan,
who enjoyed stealing the butter and eating them from the cowherd women folk
homes, being laughed at and teased by people like Sisuapalan even, resides
here permanently.
5. Emperumaan, the One who took the huge form and spread everywhere in the
Universe during His Trivikraman avtaar, worshipped by Srivaishnava, Sages
like Sanakar, Devas and chathur mukha Brahma et al; the one who became so
angry and fought to kill the asurAs of lankA city as if burning the whole
lankA city which was surrounded by tall ramparts- resides here permanently.
6. Due to PeriyaPiraaTTi’s permanent stay on the lotus flower it looks
always youthful and fresh; because of which always surrounded by bees
humming musical tunes at ThirullaNNapuram. Emperumaan, who has the strong
weapon in His Han and whose ThirumEni is like the rain laden dark cluster of
beautiful clouds, resides here always.
7. ThirukkaNNapuram is the place where Vedic scholars consider as the best
place of residence for them to live in. Emperumaan- SarvEshwaran, who has
under His control, the Sun, the Moon, the eight directions, the mountains,
the Universe, the fire, etc. resides here permanently.
8. ThirukkaNNapuram is the place where the fragrance of lotus flower fills
the whole place due to the waters (where the lotus flowers grow) are churned
and mixed with the ploughs of farmers. Emperumaan, who had measured the
whole universe once; in whose large mountain like beautiful heart, Periya
PiraaTTi always stays happily, resides at ThirukkaNNapuram only in order to
let everyone pay obeisance to Him and take refuge at His Feet here and be
saved.
9. ThirukkaNNapuram is the place where the wooden silos are filled with
gold. Emperumaan, who is gorgeous and so graceful like the blue hued gem
stone, who has the strongest chakrA in his right resplendent hand, who is in
his sitting posture along with Periya PiraaTTi who stays with Him for ever
and BhUmi PiraaTTi also in his side at ThirukkaNNapuram, only for all of us
to immerse ourselves fully with all our senses on His blissful beauty.
10. Kaliyan, the nirvaahakar of Thirumangai, composes this ten. This ten is
on Emperumaan of ThirukkaNNapuram, my Swami. Those who read this ten, will
have all their sorrows and paapams get removed automatically and attain
bliss.
