Sri:
Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:
Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
ParakAla nAyaki – unable to bear the pangs of separation now says to herself
“Rakshakan has left me here in this plight”. Who else is my rakshakan here
after?
1. He, who had lifted Govardhana Mountain effortlessly as an umbrella to
stop the torrential downpour sent by DevEndhran; and who had danced with
cowherd women has haunted my memories. In front of my house, those “anRil”
birds from those trees are torturing me with their shrill (lamenting) voices
too. Who can save those birds from those nests?
2. He, who had broken even the heavy kurundha tree; who had angered on the
seven bulls and killed them; who had tore open the Kesi asuran’s mouth; who
had broken the tusk of Kuvalayaapeetam elephant; who has sucked the
poisonous breast of Poothanai along with her life- Such Greatest KaNNan,
(who has such divine mouth to suck Poothnai’s life too) torments me; Not
only does He trouble; also the music from Balaraman’s flute also torments me
with greater vigor.
3. I have been always contemplating on that most fragrant Thirutthuzhaay
garland that adorns Emperumaan, who had killed the two wrestlers sent by
Kamsan and killed the sender Kamsan too; This gentle evening breeze also
searches the place where I stay and come to torture me. The sounds of those
huge bulls also further aggravate my sufferings greater.
4. Whenever I think of those two unparalleled Feet of Ramapiraan who had
sent the arrow through even trees, that dark deep blue ocean’s wave roars
heavily. In addition to that the sea breeze trouble me. What can I do to
overcome these sufferings? (Only He can help)
5. These ocean waves’ roars; the anRil birds’ sounds troubling me; the
bangles that slip off from my wrists; - all these happen only after my
getting lost to KaNNapiraan, the Divine Consort of Nappinnai PiraaTTi, (who
has dark long black tresses, who has the most beautiful gait like swan, who
has most gorgeous PeethAmbaram (silk cloth) around her waist).
6. SarvEshwaran, - Our Swami- who has the Divine Sanghu and ChakrA, has
called us for the endless uniting experience like a dream. Except for my
friend and I, the whole world is sleeping. This hen also does not crow for
announcing the dawn’s arrival. This dark night appears to be never ending.
7. The way Manmanthan troubles me is ineffable. The dark, blue hued ocean
like form -KaNNan is my beloved husband. His son Manmathan is also my son.
But he (manmathan), coming to talk of, is terribly torturing me throwing
“virhahaagni” (fire of pangs of separation) on me. My tender breasts grow
thinking of that blue gem stone like Divine Bodied SarvEshwaran.
8. Emeprumaan, who shows Himself at ThirummaalirunchOlai, has stolen the
feminine shyness from my heart. He has never thought of me- not even once.
This Sun- why does he not come out? Where had he gone hiding? If this body
of ours perishes with this suffering like this, I think it will do good to
us. (means, we need not suffer any more after death)
9. Oh friend! Do not think that we can wait till He comes, considering our
feminine nature and our Athma guNAs, instead of suffering from Manmathan’s
torturous arrows. Shall we go towards where He is and let us both pay our
obeisance to the dark cloud bodied Lord and enjoy His Beauty with our eyes
to the fullest?
10. This ten is on SarvEshwaran, the ever-victorious One, who killed seven
bulls at the same time. Kaliyan, the king of Thirumangai, composes it.
Those, who recite this garland of ten pAsurams, will have NO SORROWS. To
tell further, the place (world) where they reside will have no grievance at
all.
