Sri:
Dearest Bhagawathas,
In last ten AzhwAr said, "Emperumaan is here at ThirukkaNNapuram to remove
all my grievances and alleviate my sorrows". He assertively proclaims here
that he is the servant of His and His alone. None else at all. Never.
1. Emperumaan- the One who saved the elephant (that had become proud of his
strong trunk) from the mouth of crocodile when it had entered into the
waters for plucking the lotus to offer at the feet of the Lord); the One who
is like dark clouds; like the dark collyrium (mai; kaajal- anjanam) like gem
stone; like the blue hued emerald sapphire; My Swami; Sarveshwaran who stays
in adiyEn's heart permanently- adiyEn is blessed to have held onto Him and
been saved by Him.
2. Emperumaan - the One who is like the kaRpaka tree that grants everything
that one asks for; the dark rain laden cloud like colored one; Chinthamani,
the one who always removes the problems and hurdles/sorrows of His devotees
at all times; The Most Beautiful, Gorgeous looking SarvEshwaran- adiyEn's
Swami; the nectar; one who reclines having His Yoga nithrA on the
ThiruppaaRkadal (Milky Ocean)- adiyEn is blessed to have held onto Him and
been saved by Him.
3. Emperumaan- One who killed the seven angry huge bulls; one who built the
bridge across the Ocean along with monkeys to reach trikooda parvatham and
reach lankA to kill rAvaNan; The Primordial Chief; The Supreme Lord; the
ParamjyOthi; jYothi Swaroori. If one asks as to who is He? The answer is
Emperumaan who stays at ThirukkaNNapuram permanently is the Only One. Will
adiyEn - His sesha BhUthan- become servant of any one else? Absolutely and
naturally not.
4. SarvEshwaran- One who is the Greatest and Biggest of all; unparalleled
one- the chief as proclaimed and mentioned in "authorless" Vedas; one who
has entered into adiyEn's heart; due to which he becomes even greater in His
qualities; one who is like the mountain made of purest Gold; the most
compassionate and most merciful Lord- One who is there at the huge mountain
of Thirukkadigai like the akkaara adisil; so sweetest to us, and is
completely insatiable; adiyEn is blessed to have held onto Him and been
saved by Him
5. My Swami! You came to where I stay; You, on Your own, have entered into
adiyEn's heart and will You now like to go to Nithyasooris? No. Is this
blissful position for me not enough? (Of course yes.) EmperumaanE! The One
who enjoys reclining and having Your YoganithrA at Thirukkudanthai! AdiyEn
is blessed to have the quality of never forgetting You.. at any time.. for
ever. What a krupai and upakaaram You have done to me!
6. Oh mind! Will you please never ever forget thinking of Emperumaan, My
Swami- the One who is at Thiruvaali; The Most Powerful one who took me and
considered adiyEn as His daasabhUthan, saying "anjEl- maa sucha: (Don't
lament and worry)" when adiyEn was shivering with fear due to suffering in
the never ending, never-diminishing pains of samsaaric afflictions that keep
on pushing me deeper and deeper in spite of whatever extent of paapams that
you have exhausted (they keep growing). What a dayAkaran You are!
7. My parents left me saying I have become an arrogant youth; then this poor
person- was saved by You. Your daasa bhUthan- adiyEn- is now having You
alone as every relation to me. You have become my life; my AthmA. You have
saved me fully; You- the One who has saved moon by curing the kshaya rOgam;
- are my Swami. How will I and How can I ever forget You? Oh foolish poor
mind! Please tell this simple truth to me..(When I go astray..)
8. The samsaaric world, where the literate, Vedic scholars and those who
have learnt, attempt to get rid of the chains with the samsaaric afflictions
and bondage- and in such ocean of samssara, I was blessed to be born. I am
also blessed to have reached Emperumaan of Thiruvaali. Thus, having been
blessed with this, I am blessed with NO FURTHER BIRTHS AT ALL.
9. ThirukkaNNapuram, Thirukkadigai, at these most fragrant places-
Emperumaan who resides here- the One who is the sweetest tastiest Lord for
Nithyasooris- like the coolest moon, the One who shines like the lustrous
Sun- when will adiyEn enjoy to my heart's content with eyes looking at such
Divinely Gorgeous Beautiful Emperumaan?
10. This ten pAsurams is on dark, black rain laden like cloud colored
Emperumaan of ThirukkaNNApuram- Sri SowriRajaperumAL. Kaliyan, the king of
Thirumangai, the one who has sharp spear in his right hand, composes it. Oh
Bhagawathas, who would like to read this ten! You will dance singing this
ten saving the whole world, surrounded by oceans.
