Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, ThirumangaiAzhwAr after his anubhavam on SingavEL kunRam, was called by the Lord "AzhwArE! Why are you exerting yourself at SingavEL kunRam calling the Divya dEsam :"deivam allaal sella voNNaa SingavEL kunRam" (other than DevAs, none can access this sthalam) in the last ten?. Not to worry. Here in ThiruvEmkatam, I am showing myself so easily accessible for everyone. Come and be blessed! Let us go to TirumalA along with AzhwAr. 1. ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan Sri Srinivasan is none other than KsheeraabhdhinAthan and KaNNan. GopAlan- the One who befell the fragrant Kurundha tree- My Master- The Red Lotus eyed Beautiful Lord- Pundareekaakshan- The One who is having His YoganithrA on the Milk Ocean- The One who conquered pakAsuran- Sriman Narayanan is showing Himself so gracefully at this sthalam, ThiruvEmkatam, where lovely fishes jump with joy in beautiful ponds. 2. KaNNan- the One who sucked the poisonous breast and sucked puthnai’s life making her cry with pain and die; He is in a reclining posture at Thiruvara~ngam (Srirangam) and ThiruppARkadal. He has grown at ThiruvEmkatam (ThirumalA); The realised sages (j~nAnis) have described Him and praised calling Him daily as "veLLiyaan (Silvery Lord!), Kariyaan (Dark hued Beauty!), Neela MaNivaNNan (Blue hued Emerald like Beauty!). Such Greatest Most Beautiful Sowlabhyan is here at ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Go and reach this sthalam. (Here AzhwAr says "piLLaiyaay uyiruNda enthai piraan avan perugum idam"- means: My Father- My Lord- The One who sucked the life as an infant KaNNan- is growing here (at ThirumalA!). Periya vaacchaan PiLLai says "thottil piLLai pEy uyiruNda pinbhu niRka kaRRadhu Thirumalaiyil" means: The child that was put in the cradle, after sucking the rAkshasi’s life, has learnt to stand only at ThirumalA."- What an anubhavam!) 3. The One who learnt His charming steps, breaking even the Marudha trees(while doing so), The Purest Lord- The One who has the Divine Conch in His Hand- The One whose Lotus Feet is always worshipped with great devotion by DevAs and Nithyasooris- The One who saved and protected the suffering and lives of cattle by lifting the mountain of Govardhanam effortlessly as an umbrella from torrential heavy down pour by Indran- My Perumaan- is here at ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Reach there. 4. ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan is Sri Parthasarathy Himself. The One who drove the chariot for Arjunan, presided (sort of) the MahAbhAratha KurukshEthra battle, and (enabled pANdavAs) win the battle- the One who dances with cowherd girls- the One who stays in the heart of His devotees who think of Him and meditate on Him- the One who shows Himself at Thiruvidaventhai- the Para~nchudar- the JyOthI- Emperumaan – is here at Most beautiful ThiruvEmkata mountain. Oh mind! Reach there. 5. The One who appeared as the young Brahmachari dwarf boy and begged mahAbhali with His small Hands (for the whole universe ultimately)- the One who appeared as Sri Raman and sent the arrow through seven trees (saala vruksham) at a stretch- the One who lives in Thirumaaliru~nchOlai- the One removed the sorrow of GajEndran elephant and granted mOksham to the animal- is showing Himself at ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Reach there. 6. ThiruvEmkatamudaiyaan is the One who ate the whole Universe. The One who (once), in order to protect the seven directions, seven worlds during mahApraLayam (Cosmic cycle), ate them and retained them in His stomach and lied down on a small Banyan leaf- the One who removed the sorrow of the white moon (can someone explain the sorrow of moon that was removed by the Lord?)- the One who appeared as Narasimhan (Lion faced Lord) and tore the chest of hiraNyan with sharp nails to kill him- Such Greatest Emperumaan is at ThiruvEmkatam mountain. Oh mind! Reach there. 7. The Lord is The Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space (five elements of Nature)- has thousand Divine Names- is NOT bounded by KarmAs; - Such Greatest Lord- Emperumaan is growing here at ThiruvEmkatam, the top of which is hugged by clouds, the snowy droplets falling from the sky, where the clouds land up and take rest on top of this mountain, where fertile gardens surround the lovely ThiruvEmkatam. Oh mind! Reach there. 8. He is in the Pancha bhUthams (the five elements of Nature)- He is the Chief of DevAs- He is the Nayakan of Periya PiraaTTi- MahAlakshmi- He is My Emperumaan- staying at ThiruvEmkatam, the most beautiful fertile land, where gypsy women take care of the field. Oh mind! Reach there. 9. Emperumaan- The One who protects and saves from their Birth cycles, those who utter Parama bhOgya, most Divine Thiru ashtaakshara manthram always- stays at ThiruvEmkatam which is fully surrounded by the lovely gardens full of most fragrant flowers, which is standing like the Thilakam (pinnacle- Zenith- the Highest point) of all worlds. Oh mind! Reach here! (here AzhwAr says in the first line "pEsumin Thirunaamam ettezhutthum solli" – means: Utter! (pEsumin) the most divine Ashtaaksharam; it is also to be read as "pEsum in Thirunaamam" – means: Utter (pEsum) the sweetest to the tongues of those who utter (in) Thirunaamam ettezhutthum – (ashtaaksharam)). 10. The Lord of ThiruvEmatam, which is surrounded by the most beautiful ponds where the red charming fishes swim, jump and play, is here showing Himself so gracefully at this sthalam and Thirumangai nagar Kaliyan has sung these ten pAsurams about this Emperumaan of ThiruvEmkatam. Those who read these ten (or their meanings) sweet garland of Tamil words realising the glory of ThiruvEmakatam Emperumaan, with not an iota of doubt and with mahAviswAsam on Emperumaan, ARE SURE to reach Paramapadham after ruling this world.
