Sri: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, SarvEshwaran –who Out of His greatest grace and dayA, out of His concern, in order to save us from samsaaric afflictions, stays permanently at Vaiguntha ViNNagaram Divya Desam. “Oh Mind! you go and pay obeisance here and get saved!” (Let us take a pilgrimage tour along with AzhwAr and be blessed!) Thirunnangoor Vaikuntha viNNagaram: (5 km from Seergaazhi) Moolavar: Vaikuntha nAthan; ThaamaaraikkaNudaiya Piraan (facing east) Thaayaar: Vaikunthavalli thayaar. 1. The One- who ferociously tore the chest of HiraNyan and killed him, (who had angered on his son Prahalada); the Most Youthful Lord-who had (helped and) churned the Milky Ocean and distributed the nectar (amirtham) to Devas; the huge dark cloud coloured Lord- He stays most happily, at this place to enable His devotees enjoy His Beauty and be blessed with great Anandham. This place is Vaikuntha ViNNagaram, where charming fishes jump with joy playfully, in the beautiful ponds located inside the beautiful gardens filled with most fragrant jasmine, seNbhagam, and serundhi flowers… Oh my dear mind! You go there and pay your obeisance to Him! (Please read these ten PAsurams in Tamil with rhyming tune! What a Poet! :valankoNdu kayalOdi viLaiyaadu naangoor vaikuntha viNNagaram vaNanghu mada nenjE!”- the play of words, the narration, the scenery.. Superb… ) 2. All directions shivered with the fear, the Devas got paranoid, - the Lord Narasingan appeared with thunderous noise, approached hiraNyan and dug His sharp nails on his broad large strong chest. That Swami, everyday stays most happily and willing at this sthalam of Vaikuntha ViNNagaram, where the most scholarly brahmins knowing the divinely beautiful Vedas, Seven Swaras, etc.. who are of most virtuous qualities, stay in great numbers. This Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha ViNNagaram- Oh my mind! Reach there and pay obeisance! 3. All worlds, the whole lot of oceans, - everything- He swallowed and retained in His stomach during PraLayam (Cosmic cycle); He removed the sorrow and sin of Sivan, who wandered everywhere, with a skull (of BrahmA) stuck to his hand, seeking redemption; He is the Primordial Chief; First One - Mudhalvan; (Aam mudhalvan ivan” says NammAzhwAr); This Lord,happily stays here at this sthalam, of Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha ViNNagaram, where one sees everywhere the paddy fields, the tall coconut trees, banana trees, the betel leaf creepers, are all densely grown and the bees sing merrily, peacocks dance happily. Oh mind! Go there and pay obeisance! 4. The well dressed, beautiful young girl- SoorpaNakai- appeared at Panchavadi, (where Rama, Lakshmanar and Sita were staying). Her ears and nose were simply cut off when she tried (to wag her tail) some stunts; she ran away yelling and crying to lankA. Such Greatest Lord, is here residing at Vaikuntha viNNagaram, where the soolam placed on top of the tall buildings (for beauty), tear open the underneath portion of clouds due to which the peals drop from the clouds and land on these buildings (wow! What an imagination by AzhwAr!). Oh mind ! Go to such a beautiful sthalam and pay obeisance! 5. For the lightning, slender waist like SitA Piraatti, the unparalleled Most strongest Rama bent His bow and aimed the arrows to let The twenty hands and ten heads of rAvaNA to fall on the ground- Such Most strongest Lord is here residing happily at Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha viNNagaram, where red paddy, senkamalam (Red lotus), the fishes are all found along with other flowers in beautiful ponds, and where brahmins are found in large numbers. Oh mind! Please proceed to this sthalam and pay obeisance! 6. (AzhwAr now enjoys KrishnAvtaar!). Poothanai appeared as beautiful young woman, and this infant Kutti KaNNan, made her fall dead after sucking her poisonous breast milk along with her life itself.. Not just that. He also made the tall huge marudha trees, fall flat and also destroyed the sakatAsuran (the wheel asurA); This Greatest Lord is staying at this sthalam most willingly, where brahmins (who are blessed with good most virtuous qualities of forgiving, helping those who seek help from them, due to their studying most truthful, most plain Vedas and their segments.. stay here. Oh mind! Go there and pay obeisance! 7. This Emperumaan- effortlessly swung the asurA (who had come as A young calf in order to kill Kutti KaNNan), against the “viLaam pazham tree” and killed him (it). Laos, He stole and ate the curd and the butter that the young cowherd women had collected in pots; In addition to this butter and curd, He also had eaten the whole universe too(during praLayam); This most Youthful Lord is staying here permanently at this sthalam, where kamugu trees, coconut trees, betel leaf creepers, red paddy fields, sugarcane fields are all densely grown and is a fertile place. Go there and pay obeisance, my mind! 8. The One who destroyed angry narakaasuran,- the one who gave a Portion of His ThirumEni ( Divine Body), for Sivan to stay- the One who has the most strongest ChakrA in His Hands; the One who has PiraaTTi in His ThirumEni; The Chief of Nithyasooris; - He stays most happily and willingly at this sthalam, where ever bloomed lotus flowers se~nkazhuneer flowers flood honey from them due to which the farmers (in order to stop the flooding honey and destroying their fields), build some protection measures( again.. AzhwAr’s imagination amazes me.. ). Such greatest wealthiest place is Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha viNNagaram.. Oh mind! Reach this place and pay obeisance! 9. He (KaNNan) is the One who reclines and has YoganithrA on ThiruppaaRkadal (Milk Ocean). Devas and Sages come in large Numbers and pray to Him saying “Oh Our Chief! Lord! Please show mercy on us”. This Greatest Lord, happily stays here at this sthalam, where lovely fishes jump with joy in between the paddy fields, and where large tall beautiful buildings hit against the underneath portion of moon’s belly and make them wear off.. Such a beautiful sthalam is Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha viNNagaram. Oh mind! Please go and pay obeisance! 10. This Thirumozhi is about the Lord of Thirunaangoor Vaikuntha ViNNagaram. The Lord who resides here has In His resplendent hands, the most strongest ChakrA and Sanghu; This sthalam is praised by everyone on this earth.. This ten PAsurams (on the Lord and the sthalam) is composed by the chief of Thirumangai- the one who swings his sharp spear to cut the body of his enemies; the yama of his enemies, named Kaliyan. Those who recite these ten will be blessed to have (in addition to this earth), even Parama padham under their control.
