Sri:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
An excellent ten! Great words! AzhwAr explains what he is blessed with by
holding on to Sri Sowri Raja PerumAL.
1. Swami! The One who is the object and target of Nithya anapayinee (one who
never separates herself from PerumAL) Periya Pirrati’s kataaksham ! The One
who enjoys everything! The Chief and Lord, who is praised as the Greatest of
all in four Vedas! Oh ThirukkaNNapuram Swami! What is Your thinking on
adiyEn- Your daasa bhUthan- who enjoys serving You alone and who enjoys
seeing You alone and enjoys that enjoyment alone. Please tell me of Your
plans.
2. KaNNapuratthu ammanE! The oceans, the mountains, the seven worlds,
(saptha aavaraNams), have all become Your one garland. Oh unparalleled One!
Leaving such greatest You, I will not consider and take refuge at all, to
any other Devas (who claim that they will save). Never ever.
3. “maRRumOr deivam uLadhu enRu iruppaarOdu uRRilEn” I will never ever
ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THOSE WHO CONSIDER AND SAY THAT THERE ARE OTHER GODS
(OTHER THAN YOU). KaNNapuratthu ammanE! There is no GOD except You. All that
adiyEn is blessed to have learned from dEvarIr, who has taught me and
initiated me into Your ashtaaksharam is: Though it has taught me many
meanings and inner esoteric deep truths, it teaches me mainly this: that
adiyEn is the servant (daasa bhUthan) of Your servants.
4. Oh BhUmi PiraaTTi vallabha! ThirukkaNNapuram Swami! The enjoyment of
Periya PirraTTi, one who stays eternally on lotus flower in Your Chest! I
have enjoyed You. I have enjoyed that effortless, marvelous act of sucking
the life along with the breast milk of Poothanai, the cruel, raakshasi from
her marge youthful breasts, who had come in the guise of a beautiful young
lady to kill You with her poisonous breast milk! You finished her off so
wonderfully. I have enjoyed thinking of that act of Yours so beautifully.
5. Oh ThirukkaNNapuratthu ammanE! I do not desire or long for the earthly
parents or any other relations. I have no love or affection to any one else.
Hence, I have attained Your abode and You alone. “This daasa bhUthan is mine
and My bhandhu.”- Thus You should consider me in your mind bless me and have
krupai (mercy) on me.
6. Kannapuratthu PermALE! Those Bhagawathas, who hold on to Your Feet and
pray for performing nithya kaimkaryam alone at Your feet, do not get yama
kinkarars (servants of Yama) reach them or come any where near them at all.
They simply say to those Bhagawathas “Masters! We are scared coming near
you.” Because You protect them. Sure.You will take care of us.
7. ThirukkaNNapuratthu permALE! The One who reclines on Adhisheshan, having
Yoga nithrA! The SarvEshwarA! The yama dhUthaas not only do not come near
Your devotees; they even hide and are afraid of coming in front of them.
8. ThirukkaNNapuratthu EmperumaanE! I am now thinking of our marevelous acts
of measuring the whole universe by taking such a HUGE form; by cutting the
strong chest of that hiraNyan with your sharp nails. What wonderful acts
they are! This mahaa paai- adiytEn who had been committing innumerable
paapams and karmas and had not thought of this Athma rakshaNam so far- has
now attained Your Feet and hence, is not suffering with any sorrow or
grievance at all.
9. Kannapuratthu ammanE! You blessed me so mercifully by considering me as
Your daasa bhUthan. Due to Your krupai, adiyEn is able to get rid of all my
karmic disease. Further more, You have blessed and showed to the world Your
presence and stay in adiyEn’s heart by letting me sing these pAsurams
(verses).
10. This ten Tamil pAsurams is sung by Kaliyan (who always has
ThirukkaNNapura PerumAn, the one who has to be enjoyed to the full eyes’
content at KaNNapuram, is in his heart and who has Bhagavath kaimkaryam as
his wealth). Those Bhagawathas who consider this ten as their wealth and
sing them, will CERTAILNY reach and rule the Parama padham, which is beyond
the Universes.
