Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, ThirumangaiAzhwAr described the sowlabhyam and vathsalya guNA of Emperumaan who gave Himself to PaaNdavaas, in the last ten. Now AzhwAr enjoys ThirunAgai Emperumaan.. Sundhara vadivan (The Most beautiful Emperumaan) and immerses Himself in it. AzhwAr enters into nAyikA Bhavam. She describes her suffering here to her friends. 1. Oh my dear friend! This Emperumaan's most beautiful Divine ThirumEni shines like the Gold. This Strong chest is like luster of Maragatha stone. On that broad chest, the necklace glitters. Is He a Brahmin reciting the Vedas? Or Is he a Deva? He looks at me, by bending Himself, and looks at my tender breasts too. I wonder what my mother thinks of this! I am scared. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam! 2. One is not able to realize that this Piraan is none other than the most youthful Lord of Thirukkudanthai. He has the red lustrous ChakrA and Conch shell (sanghu). This most Beautiful Emperumaan, gorgeous Lord shining with His resplendent four hands, standing on His feet with the divine jewellery and pearl necklaces, with all young women paying their obeisance at His Lotus Feet. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam! 3. This Swami, the One who measured the whole Universe, is the Lord of Thirumeyyam. Oh My dear friend! What compassionate divine eyes like the red lotus flowers! He is with His thousand shoulders shining like the huge mountains. He adorns His shoulders with the golden bangles. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam! 4. He wears most fragrant Thirutthuzhaay garland around His neck; He also has the strong ChakrA and the Divine Sanghu (Conch) in His hands; He has great love and care for us. He, out of His own free will, has come to our place and stands. He is the most youthful Emperumaan. His mouth is like the reddish coral. He is the Lord of everyone. One compares His most beautiful ThirumEni to the red coral (sem pavazham). What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam! 5. He has ThiruvuRaiyoor and Thirukkoodal as His place of residence. He is the Lord and the king. He stands like the Chakravartthi. He has four strong shoulders like huge mountains. We have never seen Him before. Let Him live long for hundreds of years. Speaking of His gorgeous beauty, He stands like the huge, vast, deep blue ocean. He stands with the chakra on one hand and sanghu on the other. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam! 6. Is He the strong king. who broke the tusk of that angry Kuvalayaapeetam? I am afraid His place of stay is the minds of women (devotees). It appears He has given himself to them. I do not know that. But I know one thing. Look at those lovely graceful lotus flower like eyes. He stands like that most Youthful Lord who kicked Kamsan. He stands like the anjana mountain, so beautiful. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam. 7. Is He parama krupaakaran (Most merciful Lord) like the Sun that makes the lotus bud bloom? I don't know. My heart automatically pays obeisance to Him. His eyes are like the lustrous red lotus flowers. Those Hands- look at them. They are also like a pair of red lotus flowers. That broad chested ThirumEni is like the blue hued cloud in the sky. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam. 8. This Lord, who lives on his own, happily at ThirulalirunchOlai, and now he has come on His own into my eyes and my mind and will never ever leave me. He lives here as if he is there at Thiruneermalai. I am not able to tell as to who He is. He shines like huge dark clouds on the golden hued mountain. Look at Him by yourself. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam 9. He stands as the most wonderful Lord, as the One who reclined on a Banyan leaf, having all the worlds in his stomach. I am not able to comprehend His "maayai". He stands like huge mountain and dark clouds. His divine eyes and mouth are like the most fragrant red lotus flowers. He is worshipped by Nithya sooris. What an unparalleled beauty of His! aaccharyam 10. This ten is about the Lord of ThirunAgai - Sundhara vadivudaiyaan, who appeared once as Hamsam, Varaaham, Mathsyam and other avtaars. This is sung by the king of Thirumangai. This ten is chaste Tamil and those who read them will first rule this words as great kings and then enter into SrivaikunTam, living with Nithya sooris, enjoying every moment.
