SrI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, When AzhwAr was terribly tormented by Emperumaan's beauty and longed to see Him, lamented in the last ten, Emperumaan also had His dvarai (longing-urgency) to join the AzhwAr and bless him. At Thirukkaditthaanam Divya dEsam, He shows Himself to AzhwAr and blesses the AzhwAr. AzhwAr narrates his ecstasy in this ten. Let us also get ecstatic with his yet another outpourings! 1. Emperumaan, during days and nights, at all times, showers mercy on us and only us-in order to save us. He has adorned His Head with the lily flower and the cool fragrant ThuLasi garland. Emperumaan- My father- is present so gracefully at Thirukkaditthaanam where Sri Vaishnavas, who are blessed with the invaluable wealth of performance of kaimkaryam at His Feet. That is His place. 2. Emperumaan, when He appeared as Sri Rama, fought with the egoistic, the head strong (having false pride) rAvanA and his army and rained the arrows at them to kill them. (AndAL says "thaazhaadhE saarngham udhaittha sara mazhai pOl"- the bow raining the arrows..).That peerless chief of mine has considered my heart and this Divya dEsam (Thirukaditthaanam) as equal and has willingly stayed at both places. Thus, He is lovingly staying in my heart too, as He does at Thirukkaditthaanam. 3. When He appeared as Sri Rama and when He stood and fought with asurAs in the battle, He fought with one- two- three and many others at the same time as if He is one- two- three and many forms simultaneously and killed them. The same wonderful, valorous Lord is here at Thirukkaditthaanam along with Periya Piraatti- MahAlakshmi. When I think of His such wonderful acts, it is so sweet to think of them. (i.e - the Lord who has Sri MahAlakshmi in His Chest, the One who stays so gracefully and so willingly at Thirukkaditthaanam is here in my heart also so willingly. To think of that, it is so sweet of Him!) 4. Maayavan- Mysterious Mischievous Lord- My Emperumaan not only did He alleviate my sorrows and sins, also He, out of His Great compassion, has permanently stayed in my heart as if it is His Parama padham. He also is staying Permanently at Thirukkaditthaanam, too. The Brightest NityasUris even come here to pay their obeisance to Him at this place. It is the Divya dEsam and is the holiest place. Like He is housing Himself in this Divya dEsam, He is also housing Himself at my heart. 5. He considers both Thirukkaditthaanam as well as my heart as His temple and stays here willingly. The same Emperumaan, who has entered into my heart is worshipped by the Divinely NityasUris in all Divya dEsams. The Sri vaikunta Nathan is the One who danced as Sri KrishNan. He has fallen in love with me and out of His love for me, He has stayed in my heart like Thirukkaditthaanam. 6. The robber of hearts- Emperumaan - SarvEshwaran- the One who performs so wonderful acts- has removed all my sins and has delinked all bondages. The same swami of mine has destroyed madhu kaitapar asurAs and got His name Madhusoodhanan. That Emperumaan is present at Thirukkaditthaanam. If you go to this place and pay obeisance to this Emperumaan and praise Him, ALL YOUR SORROWS AND SINS WILL VANISH IMMEDAITELY AND NOT STAND ANYWHERE NEAR YOU. PLEASE DO NOT THINK AS "YET ANOTHER" LIP TALK, AND PAY ATTENTION AND GET IT DRILLED INTO YOUR HEAD AND FOLLOW.". (That is AzhwAr's advice to us!) 7. The Parama sowlabhyan- so simple GodHead- Sri KrishNan had measured the whole Universe in His just two steps.To pay obeisance to such Great Lotus Feet of Emperumaan, ordinary people and the Nitya sUris come to Thirukkaditthaanam. IF YOU SIMPLY THINK OF THIS PLACE EVEN, ALL YOUR SORROWS WILL DISAPPEAR. 8.There are actually many places that Emperumaan is quite pleased with and stays (like other Divya sthalams). He also stays in this earth, Paramapadham, ThiruppaaRkadal (Milk Ocean), etc.. EVEN THEN, He has gleefully accepted this Thirukkaditthaanam and my HEART as if they are His inherited property, and is staying most gracefully at these two places so beautifully. 9.Emperumaan, out of His own desire, is showing Himself in His "archaavathaaram" at various old, sacred, Greatest Divya dEsams. EVEN THEN, the Bright Nitya sUris come, stay and pay obeisance to their dearest Emperumaan only at Thirukkaditthaanam. That Emperumaan of Thirukkaditthaanam is the One who appeared as the Chief of cowherd people at Ayarpaadi. That "accharya" Lord (wonderful Lord) has become so dear to me at both these places (i.e.. my heart and Thirukkaditthaanam). 10.In my heart, Emperumaan- The Most Wonderful Narayanan ("aRputhan NaraNan arivaamanan niRpathu mEvi iruppathu en nenjamE") is willingly staying. That Emperumaan, who appeared as the Lion and Vaamanan is the same one who is here at Thirukkditthaanam Divya dEsam permanently. This place Thirukkaditthaanam is the place of Vedic scholars and pure brahmins. He is here at this place much before He has come into my heart. But after He has got (me) my Heart, that is where He stands, stays at all times. (What an anubhavam! What an outpouring! Thirumazhisai AzhwAr also says: "anRu naan piRandhilEn; piRandha pin maRandhilEn; ninRathum, irundhathum kidandhathum en nenjuLE!- Those days I was not born; After I was born, (i.e. after being blessed by the Lord with a jnAnam about the Lord) I never forget; Now He stands, sits, and lies down in my heart only!) 11.Thirukurugoor Sri SadagOpar has sung 1000 pAsurams in praise of Emperumaan, who is present always at Thirukkaditthaanam. Out of these 1000 verses (pAsurams) which are as sweet as the Milk and nectar, these ten pAsurams will enable its readers stay at Sri Vaikuntam most wonderfully.
