SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
AzhwAr having enjoyed the Parathvam and Sowlabhyam of SarvEshwaran (in last
ten), wants to let everyone (of us) on this earth enjoy along with him. On
the contrary, he sees them paying obeisance to demi gods and others, who
have births and deaths similar to their own. He advises them of the
Primordial Chief Sriman Narayanan’s unparalleled, unsurpassed Supremacy and
tells them “There is no difference between you and the demigods whom you all
worship. Here is SarvEshwaran who protects and saves all including those
demigods.” Let us also get the correct jnAnam from AzhwAr.
1. Oh folks, who have considered themselves as slaves of those demigods who
are not capable of saving you at all! When the entire universe was submerged
by troubled waters of oceans, during dissolution, (mahApraLayam), the world,
Devas, we, human beings were all in the state of being in the stomach of
Emperumaan who has the Divine ChakrA in his Hand. You all do not know that.
You are praising the thAmasa devathAs (the demigods who are in the mode of
darkness); What good you think they have done to you and you praise them?
You do not even remember the great deed SarvEshwaran did to us, during
praLayam and saved us. Praise Him dear.
2. When the great floods engulfed the whole universe, flowing even beyond
the space, SarvEshwaran saved us.. Don’t we know that? The Devas came out
after the dissolution, when he spat them out. They are “ecchil dEvar”. Is
there anyone who is not touched by His saliva? The whole universe survives
because of the grace of this Emperumaan. Why do you not know that?
3. the manner in which the fore headed eyed Sivan, Chathur mukha BrahmA
(four faced) who recites the meaningful Vedas, DevEndran, who has white
AirAvatham, the elephant of long trunk, and all other Devas, were saved
during mahApraLayam, is: Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan retained
them all in His stomach and protected. Without praising the kalyANa guNAs of
this Emperumaan of most auspicious attributes, One who has the most Divine
ChakrA in his resplendent Hand, it is a wonder that these folks stay out
here like this (praising demi gods)!
4. When the cool, vast waves of the oceans expanded into the whole BhUmi
(Universe), engulfing it, “There is no rakshakan for this universe”- said
Emperumaan and He immediately retained you all in His stomach and saved you.
He is the Chief of those with sathva guNAs (Nithyasooris); He is of the most
beautiful form like the ripened fruit (kaLAm pazham); Alas! Oh no!. Why have
you not learnt and realized to pay obeisance to HIM ALONE?
5. None could have comprehended the stay they had in the Divine stomach of
Emperumaan when there was mahApraLayam engulfing the whole universe. Oh
fools, who do not know this graceful, merciful deed of Emperumaan! Had you
all known or realized this, you would have talked only the Divine names of
this SarvEshwaran; the Chief of Nithyasooris; the One who measured the whole
universe in one step; the Greatest unparalleled Lord. (Now that you are not
talking His names, you are fools only.)
6. When there could not have been a possibility of any human survival at all
when there was huge troubled waters everywhere, Emperumaan like the most
loving caring mother (who has given birth to a child after lot of penance)
saved you with such affection, and concern in all motherly affection,
retaining you in His stomach. Oh fools, ignoramuses, making Him get terribly
upset for turning ablind eye to such parama krupALu and for looking at and
praising those demigods (who are like you – yet another JivaAthma)! When
there is a mother, who had troubled so much to give birth to such a child
like you, and who needs to be taken care of and needs to be praised and
worshipped, instead of her, you are taking a great care of that nonliving
“achit” wooden plank (demigods) as if it is your mother by bathing the same
with warm waters! Why are you doing such an act?
7. BhUlOkam, DevalOkam, Devas, asurAs, and everyone else even together could
not stop the troubled waters during mahApraLayam, He saved them by not
letting them submerged in the praLayam. The days I do not think of these
human beings who never meditate on and adorn their heads with the Lotus Feet
of such most merciful, Parama dhayALu, most compassionate Emperumaan,
SarvEshwaran, the Lord of ThirukkaNNamangai, are the sweetest days for me.
8. When the cruel dark ocean waters with sweift speed, submerged everything
and expanded beyond the Universe, Emperuman, whose nature is only saving
protecting the seven worlds at all times, retained them in His Divine
stomach and protected you. Those who do not think of this Greatest Lord, who
saves us at all times, are utterly lowly souls.
9. When the great walls of the Universe got submerged and there was waters
everywhere, Devas and Rishis went surrendered to Him, the SarvEshwaran, who
in turn retained the seven worlds, in His stomach and saved every being and
non being with parama krupai. He has that resplendent benevolent Hand like
that dark cloud. He is of the colour like the beautiful shining gemstone.
Dance and sing on the glories of Thirukkudanthai. Where this Lord resides
permanently.
10. Devas, asurAs, the directions, the oceans, and everything else were
swallowed by SarvEshwaran during mahApraLayam without leaving anything
untouched, and then he spat all out after the dissolution. Such merciful
deed of His, has been composed by the king of Thirumangai. Those who can
recite and learn the meaning of this ten (that is very IMPORTANT), will be
blessed to receive the Divine Grace of Periya PiraaTTi MahAlakshmi and
reside in Paramapadham (SrIvaikuNTam)
