Sri:
Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
Last ten on Periya Thirumozhi (9.4), Alwar (ParakalanAyaki) had sent the
messengers to the Lord.. Even before their coming, she feels exhausted,
longing for the Lord; and she is not able to listen to the words of her
mother and friends. He has not come. Hence, she pleads them for taking her
to ThirukkuRunkudi.
1. The cool bright, blemishless crescent moon; the ocean with its hopping
waves; the cool gentle breeze that caresses the flowers; the bird (its
musical tone)- are all troubling my mind jointly. Everywhere the thick fog
has engulfed; I am not able to sleep. My Swami has not bestowed His grace on
me saying, “This poor creeper like girl needs my grace.” (“ivaLum Or peNkodi
enRu irangaar”- kodi- creeper implying it needs the support- Emperumaan..) He
had already stolen my five jnAnEndhriyAs – Pleasre take me to
ThirukkuRunkudi, where the The Lord- whose Divine lustrous body is like the
“kuvaLai” flower, is residing on His own free will.
2. The youthful, chill cold breeze that touches the flower of jasmine and
then along with the bright cold moon rays, liters here and there and
tortures me to finish me off completely. Even for one night, I am not able
to sleep. These girls, whose bangles never fall off, are talking all sorts
of allegations against me, without any sense or knowledge. (“pEthaiyar
pEthaimaiyaalirundhu pEsilum pEsuga peyvaLaiyaar..”) Please save me by
taking me to ThirukkuRunkudi, where Emperumaan (who has the fragrant flower
bedecked Periya PiraaTTi in His Chest always) resides.
3. Even the dawn and the dusk torture me; at night, every fraction of a
second elongates and appears as if it is longer than the praLaya kaalam (
“oozhi” ). The cool breeze also appears like the scorching fiery air; That
Lord grew so huge and stands; shining like the blue gem stone; - so
beautiful and gorgeous; (to add further to my suffering). There are may
things to torment me on this earth (created by Him); Before they torment me
any further, please save me by taking me to ThirukkuRunkudi, which is
surrounded by dense gardens where beautiful peacocks live in.
4. The twangs of the bell tied around the neck of black bull, (having mated
with the white youthful cows)- also disturb my mind. I am not able to sleep
even for a night, suffering from the pangs of separation, talking about the
greatness and kalyANa guNAs of PeraruLALan (the most merciful Emperumaan),
who is considered like the huge precious stone and is placed on the heads of
Nithyasooris, with great enjoyment and reverence (perumaNi vaanavar ucchi
vaittha pEraruLALan perumai pEsi). Please save me by taking me to
ThirukkuRunkudi, which is surrounded by water canals where the most valuable
stones are swept aside to its shores.
5. The bull’s neck bell, the music that comes out of Cowherd Boy KaNNan’s
flute, the gentle evening along with the breeze, the bright crescent moon
that appears at the twilight, - all these combinedly make this sinner’s
heart suffer. These do not act as they did before (they were friendly before
as they made me happy when He was with me; now they torture me and aggravate
my suffering, when He is away). Please save me by taking me to
ThirukkuRunkudi, where that cloud like, Blue hued colored Emperumaan
resides.
6.These young girls talk all things against me, at all times (day and
night); Let them talk and scold me anything. Let them be knowledgeable and
be good people. I don’t know about them and their caliber. Only if they know
about me, then only we can learn about them. (They don’t know us and our
longing and languishing for Him) We don’t have feminine qualities (accham,
naaNam, madam, etc.)here. We are not ashamed of longing for Him. Even if
they laugh and feel rejoiced at it, we would never forget the greatest, most
merciful, blue gemstone like, Emperumaan. Please save me by taking me to
ThirukkuRunkudi, where the fresh flowers bloom and have grown dense.
7. Long, ruddy lined, large well spread eyed, dark hued colored Swami- Chief
Emperumaan- came close to me and said, “What is your worry? I will not leave
you” and now has made my body go thinner; bangles fall off. I am not able to
comprehend the strength of the five arrowed manmathan (Cupid) striking me..
Please save me taking me to ThirukkuRunkudi Divya Desam, densely filled with
honey dripping, cool branches of trees.
8. This ocean’s noise is not just ordinary (that also disturbs me). Listen
to me. KaNNapiraan’s flute music comes to me and finished me off entirely.
Also before that Manmathan sends his arrows so strong on me for my final
end, please save me by taking me to ThirukkyuRunkudi, realizing the merciful
heart of that Cowherd Boy who stole the hearts of the Cowherd folks with His
most charming, wonderful deeds. (Due to His merciful nature, he won’t let me
perish.) (kOvalar kootthan kuRippu aRindhu kuRunkudikkE ennai uytthidumin)
9. Even when I perform anjali (obeisance) with folded hands, He does not
have any mercy on me. Since my birth, He has been only snatching away my
feminity and has given me only this “pasalai” disease (the body gets pale
and thin, suffering from the pangs of separation). I do not know where He
has gone. Also my tender breasts are getting old and wasted without hugging
His large Divine Strong Chest. Please save me by taking me to
ThirukkuRunkUdi, where Emperumaan- the Chief of Nithyasooris, - the One who
performs most wonderful deeds, stealing the hearts- resides eternally.
10. Please save me by taking me to ThiruukuRunkudi Emperumaan- the Swami of
all worlds; the Deva Piraan who destroyed lankA; who has Periya PiraaTTi in
his divine Chest always; who has my heart also as His residence always as
PeraruLALan; The King, who never leaves the eyes and heart of Sri VaishNava
srI- Kaliyan-having learn to compose the kalyANa guNAs of Emperumaan.
