Sri:

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

Last ten, AzhwAr performed saraNAgathy at Emperumaan's lotus feet, 
apprehended of the five senses. PerumAL consoled him saying "I am here at 
Divya Desams only for protecting you". AzhwAr now tells us the same in this 
ten.

1. With The recitation of gloriuos great Vedas, the performance of five 
yaaghams, the learning of sruthis, the great vedic scholars Brahmins who 
carry out the above and who have the calibre like that of chathur mukha 
brahmmA- reside at Thiruvazhundhoor. This is like a beautiful ornament to 
the whole world. Here, Emperumaan, enjoys staying permanently. the One who 
is the Chief of Nithyars; the One whose tender beautiful, golden divine 
lotus feet are gently squeezed and massaged by the beautiful Periya PiraaTTi 
and BhUmi PiraaTTi, who is praised by Sanakaadhi rishis; who reclines and 
has His Yoga nithrA on the bed of striped ThiruvananthAzhwAn on Huge vast 
Ocean; SarvEshwaran. Enjoy looking at Him... (be blessed.) ("vari aravaNaith 
thuyinRa maayOn kaaNmin")

2. Thiruvazhundhoor is full of beautiful ponds, wherein the swans swim along 
with their mates, and where the red paddy fields dance to the tune of gentle 
breeze. The Lord of this Divya Desam is the master of Nithyasooris; the One, 
who (when the  rishis and Devas were baffled and worried with the greatest 
dense darkness engulfed everywhere with an~jnAnam in "iruL tharumaa 
jnAnalm"), appeared from Paramapadham as white Hayagrivan (horse faced) and 
taught Vedas and saasthras. He is our Swami. Enjoy looking at Him... (be 
blessed.) ("pannukalai naal vEdhap poruLai ellaam parimukhamaay aruLiya

flows which sweep aside the agil, sandal branches of trees, golden, and gem 
stones along with its waters to the banks; The Emperumaan of this fertile

elephant GajEdnran, (it was caught by the crocodile) when it had called Him,

purest (free of blemishes) Lord, who blessed adiyEn. Enjoy looking at Him...

beautifully by the side of charming gardens); is the master of Nithyasooris;

Emperumaan is my Lord; Enjoy looking at Him... (be blessed.)

the PiraaTTi SitA, by going to lankA, where even sun cannot enter due the 
tall buildings,  and sending an arrow to make the ten strong heads of 
rAvaNan fall onto the ground. He alone is my SarvEshwaran. Enjoy looking at 
Him... (be blessed.)

are reddish in colour like corals; its flowers look like pearls; its 
un-ripened fruits are so green like "maragatham"; the ramparts appear 
golden; the whole place is surrounded by beautiful gardens; - The Lord of

tusk and killed that; who joined and danced with other womenfolk of cowherd 
groups. the One who enjoyed stealing and eating the curd and butter kept in 
hidden place by His mother YashOdhA. H e is the Accharya bhUthan.

at whose feet, Indran, BrahmA, Sivan fall and prostrate.- the master of 
Nithyasooris. This ten is on that greatest Emperumaan of Thiruvazhundhoor, 
which is like the jewel on the earth. It is composed by Kaliyan, the chief 
of Thiruvaali naadu. Those who learn this sweet ten pAsurams, will be 
blessed with: being ruler of the whole world, and be considered equal to 
celestial beings namely Devas.
