SrImathE GopaladEsika MahAdsEsikAya Namah:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
These sensual pleasures are transitory in nature and are “alpam” (lowly); We
need to hold on to the lotus Feet of Emperumaan to get rid of the fear of
being bonded to this worldly pleasures and materialistic desires. He alone
will remove us from the suffering and samsaaric afflictions. AzhwAr prays to
the Lord (IN THE FINAL TEN OF PERIYA THIRUMOZHI) to remove these enemies
(sensual desires).
1. maaRRam uLavaagilum solluvan makkaL/
thORRak kuzhithORRuvip paaykol enRu innam/
aaRRankarai vaazhmaram pOl anjukinREn*
naaRRach chuvaiyooRoliyaagiya namabhI!
Smell, taste, touch, sound - ParipoornaNE! The one who stands as these! If I
ask You, You always come out with a response to satisfy me for keeping me
this samsaaric world (saying karma bandham, puNyam, paapam etc..). Let me
ask You. Listen please. I am terribly scared if You will again push me into
this cruel deep valley of birth and make me suffer again in samsaara
saagaram, like the tree at the river bank.
2. sIRRam uLavaagilum seppuvan* makkaL
thORRak kuxhithORRu vippaaykol enRu anjik/
kaaRRatthidaippatta kalavar manam pOl/
aaRRatthuLangaa niRpan aazhi valavaa!
Oh SarvEshwaranE! The One who has ChakrA in the right hand! I have done many
actions that would have really made You terribly displeased and angry.
Still, let me appeal to You. Please listen. I apprehend that You will let me
be born again. I am like those sailors on the wooden piece caught up in huge
storm- scared tremendously.
3. thoongaar piRavikaLinnam pugappeydhu/
vaangaay enRu chindhitthu naan adhaRku anjip/
paambOdoru kooraiyolE payinRaappOl/
thaangaadhuLLam thallium en thaamaraikkaNNA!
My Swami! Red lotus eyed Lord! I am scared of these worldly lives, thinking
that You will not save me from these births of modes of ignorance (thamasa
guNAs). My mind shivers with fear like staying in a hut along with a deadly
snake.
4. uruvaar piRavikkaLinnam pugapppeydhu*
thirivaay enRu cindhitthiyenRu adhaRku anji*
irupaaderikoLLiyinuL eRumbE pOl/
urugaaniRkum enuLLam oozhi mudhalvaa!
Oh most merciful Lord! The One saved all beings during mahApraLayam single
handedly! I am afraid You have pushed me into these births saying “May you
be always be caught in this cycle..”. my mind melts like the ant caught up
between the two burning ends of a stick.
5. kOLLakkuRaiyaadha idumbaik kuzhiyil/
thaLLippugappeydhi kolenRu adhaRku anji*
veLLatthidaippatta nariyinam pole/
uLLam thuLangaa niRpan ozzhimudhalvaa!
Oh Primordial Chief (only one during praLayam) I am terribly scared that You
will push me into births again which never ever get exhausted however many
times one undergoes. (so many paapams). My mind is like vixen (plural of
fox?) caught in floods.
6. padaininRa painthaamaraiyOdu* aNinIlam/
madaininRalarum valaaLi maNALA!
idaiyan eRindha maramE otthiraamE/
adaiyavaruLaaL enakku unRan aruLE..
Oh Lord of Thiruvaali, the most fertile land with lotus and blue flowers!
The tree that is cut by the cowherd man, is green on one end and dry on the
other side (due to the cut off from roots). Please do not make me like that
(like having both satva guNa on one end, sometimes and thamasa, rajasa
guNA’s influencing me on the other always). Make me enjoy Your in fullest
entirety and graciously bless me with that paripoorNa jnAnam that only You
need to be enjoyed.
7. vEmbin puzhu vEmbanRi uNNAdhu* adiyEn/
naanpinnum un sEvadiyanRi nayavEn/
thEmbaliLanthingaL siRai vidutthu* aivaayp/
paambinaNaip paLLikoNdaay paranjyOthI!
Oh SarvWshwaranE! ParamjyOthI! The One who reclines on the five headed
AdhisEshan! The One who removed the khshayarOgam (diseases) of the moon! The
worm that comes out and stays in vEmbu tree, eats only vEmbu (vEppilai-
vEmbu is extremely bitter in taste). Similarly, Your dAsan, eternal servant,
adiyEn will never ever desire for anything other than Your Lotus Feet. (even
if They are vEmbu to me- so bitter in taste. Means: You are “karumbu: the
sugar cane to us in taste. Even if You choose to be like “vEmbu” still
adiyEn wants You only.. The worm in karumbu, which has tasted only sugarcane
can not take in vEmbu (bitter); That’s the reason AzhwAr equates himself
with vEmbu’s worm; and not karumbu’s worm. )
8. aNiyaar pozhilchoozh aranganagar appaa!
thuNiyEn ini ninaruLalladhu enakku/
maNiyE! maNimaaNikkamE! MadhusoodhA!
paNiyaay enakku uyyum vagai paranjyOthI!
Oh Lord of Srirangam! I will never ever think that there is anything else
for me except Your Krupai (mercy). Oh blue hued gemstone like Lord! The Most
shining MaaNikkamE! MadhusoodhanE! ParanjyOthI! Please bless me the way to
get saved. (What AN EXCELLENT PASURAM!- Please read again. )
9. nandhaa naragatthu azhundhaa vagai* naaLum/
enthaay! ThOndaraanavarkku innaruL seyvaay!
chandhOgaa! ThalaivanE! Thaamaraik kaNNA!
andhO! AdiyERkku aruLaay un aruLE.
My SwamI! The One who is most merciful to compassionate towards devotees!
The Lord, praised by ChandhOgya Upanishad! (i.e. Vedas) Oh ruddy lined red
lotus eyed Lord! Alas! Please have mercy on me always and do not push me
anymore into these births any more that never ever get exhausted
irrespective however much you enjoy and suffer these births.
10. kunRam yedutthu aanirai kaatthavan Rannai/
manRil malipugazh mangaiman kaliganRisol/
onRu ninRa onbadhum vallavar thammEl/
enRum vinaiyaayina saaragillaavE.
This ten is on SarvEshwaran who lifted the Govardhana mountain as the
umbreela to save the cattle and cowherd folks from torrential downpour. It
is composed by Kaliyan of Thirumangai. Those who learn and read this ten,
will have NO PAAPAMS dare approach them at all times.
THANKS TO EVERY ONE OF YOU for having encouraged in spite of adiyEn’s no
knowledge and adiyEn’s daring endevaour on this Herculean task, without even
knowing its depths. It is asmadhAchAryan anugraham, Bhagawath sankalpam, and
wishes and encouragement from Bhagawathas in this list who have openely and
privately encouraged (and also corrected at times) adiyEn throughout. Thanks
again for your patience.
