Sri:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
SarvEshwaran, out of His own free will, and due to His most merciful nature
and His sowseelya guNA, is here at ThirukkuRunkudi, waiting only to bless
us. Hence, come one and come all! – Calls ThirumangaiAzhwAr.
1. Emperumaan, who lets Rudran, having worn the string of bones, and the
skin of tiger, stay and share in His Divine Body, out of His Sowseelya guNA
(the guNA of mixing with persons of lower stature) resides in this Divya
Desam of ThirukkuRunkudi, the crane’s little one climbs onto low lying tree
branch and eats a portion of the fish “veLLiRaa” from its mother’s mouth.
2. The noisy, high raising waves of the ocean come and appear to be touching
with the droplets of water, on the Divine Body of Emperuman, Pristinely
Purest PerumAn, who reclines and has His Yoga NithrA, on ThiruvananthAzhwAn,
residing on this Divya Desam of ThirukkuRunkudi, where the red legged swan
unites with its mate, on the most fragrant lotus flower in cool beautiful
ponds.
3. “vaazhak kaNdOm! Vandhu kaaNmin thoNdeergaaL!”- Oh servants (of Sriman
Narayanan)! (We have) seen – realized- the way to “live” (live eternally-
never undergo deaths and births). Come and see! It is this Divya Desam of
ThirukkuRunkudi, where lady crane bird, with a cunning look (looking for the
prey), searches for its prey on the banks of the fully-grown fields, for
sharing the prey (food) with its red-legged weak mate. Here Emperumaan, who
took Huge Varaaha Roopam, the ruddy lined Lord, who has the large dark cloud
colored ThirumEni (Divya maNgaLa vigraham), resides permanently, on his own
free will and desire.
4. Lord Ramapiraan, who made the heads of rAvaNan be thrown away and
scattered on the ground, and cut His hands and chest, resides in this Divya
Desam of ThirukkuRunkudi, where flowers spread fragrance everywhere, and
bees that drink honey hum and night.
5. PerumAn, who drove the chariot in the battle filed so successfully,
finishing the kings off (who had had strong roaring elephants in their large
kingdom), resides permanently in this Divya Desam, of ThirukkuRunkudi, where
the bimbha fruit like red-mouthed parrots, speak sweetly like that of young
women with collyrium laden eye lids) live in ThirukkuRunkudi.
6. “thee neer vaNNa maamalar koNdu viraiyEndhith/
thoo neer paravith thozhumin; ezhumin thoNdeergaaL!”
Oh servants (of Sriman Narayanan)! The Pure you- take the agni (fire) for
dhoopam; ner (water) for argyam; the coloured flowers for archana.. etc..(
fragrant dhravyams like sandal paste); offer “anjali” to PerumAn by
prostrating Him.. And be saved. This PerumAn has got dark blue ocean like
ThirumEni (Divine Body). He resides permanently in this Divya Desam of
ThirukkuRunkudi, where the tall buildings appear to touch the crescent moon
that loiters in the sky.
7. adiyeergaaL! (Oh dAsa bhUthAs of Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan)! Leave
your thoughts on those creeper like narrow waisted women, and your suffering
(due to that) and reach ThirukkuRukudi. Coming to speak of the beauty of
women folk in this Divya Desam they are like saakshaat Sri Mahalakshmi. The
tender flower buds in the charming gardens are found in this Divya Desam
like the white teeth inside the bimbha fruit like mouth.
8. “nam thamargaaL!”- Oh my dear friends! Take the flower garlands, and the
loose fresh flowers to offer ThirukkuRunkudi Emperumaan with insatiable
bhakti. Reach there. This is the most beautiful and fertile Divya Desam with
cool ponds where the “thaaraa” birds are found on its top searching for the
prey.
9. senRu paNimin; yezhumin; thozhumin; thoNdeergaaL!”- Oh Bhagawathas, who
have the “ruchi” (taste) for performing eternal kaimkaryam! Reach
ThirukkkuRunkudi, and pay your obeisance to Emperumaan here; prostrate at
His Feet; get saved. You can get rid of all your accumulated sins and
subsequent sufferings of yours due to those “paapams”. Bees hum day and
night and fresh flowers spread fragrance all over at this Divya Desam.
10. This ten is on Emeprumaan who resides permanenetly at ThirukkuRunkudi
Divya Desam; who had bent the bow to destroy the lankA; who had broken the
tusk of strong, angry elephant (during Krishnavatar). It is sung by the poet
Kaliyan, who is capable of composing in accordance with saashtras (meters
and grammar). Those who recite this faultless, nicely worded ten with great
meanings, will have no sins stay with them at all.
