Sri: Dearest sisters and brothers, 1. veedumin muRRavum..seimminE.." Leave all attachments to the worldly things. Then after leaving them, hand over your "athmaa" to the "empiraan" (my Lord) who owns moksha lOkam, parama padam" 2. minnin nilai ila..neerE.."the bodies which house the "athmaa" are like a flicker, last lesser time than lighting and are not all permanent- Think and say that and then you think of the Ever-permanent, Emperumaan." 3.neer numadhu...illE.."yours, you- such ahankaara, mamakaaram- Remove them from right at the root level and surrender to the Emperumaan. There is no equal and better action than that for the "athmaa"." 4.illadhum uLLadhum...aRRE..."That Emperumaan's form is there as well as NOT there; That form is a kinda infinite and unlimited Divine Bliss and pErAnandham. Hence, remove and put aside the desires for other worldly things and embrace and hug Emperumaan (tightly)." 5.aRRadhu paRRu enil...paRRE.."If the attachments to worldly matters are removed, atmA can get mOksham. Hate that mOksham too, and deisre and opt for Bhagavadh vishayam and service and kainkaryam to emperumaan and get attached to Him" 6.paRRu ilan...adangE..." Emperumaan has got no attachments; He exists everywhere in its full entirety. Hence, you do not get attached to any other thing and immerse yourself in ALL kinds of kaikanaryams and all sorts of service to Emperumaan." 7.adanghu ezhil...uLLE..."Barge right into that Bhagavdh vibhoothi (the Divine Wealth) and see that Bhagavadh vibhoothi which is exquisitely beautiful in all respects and consider that the entire Wealth belong to His." 8. uLLam urai seyal...odunghE..." Mind, Speech and Action- Weigh and analyse all these three things and remove any attachment of all these to "other worldly" things and get cuddled into Emperumaan." 9. odungha...eNNE..."If you get yourself cuddled into the thinking of Emperumaan, then only, attachement to "other" things will go away. (Once that is done), then, anticipate (eagerly) for the day when you are going to get out of this body.(Wow! What a simple pAsuram, - great meanings!-same mentioned in "saraNAgathi Gadhyam) 10. eNN perukku... sErE... "When you start thinking of His GuNAs , they keep on expanding and increasing . He has all Great JeevAthmaas in Him; He has the endless, innumerable kalyANa GuNAs; He is Sriman NARAYANAN. Hold Sriman Narayanan's Thiruvadi which never desert His bhaktaaLs." 11. Thse ten pAsurams out of 1000 Pasurams have got all that is Great and have been sung ("aruLiya") by NammAzhwAr, who is born in Thirukkurugoor where beautiful ponds exist." (Excellent Pasurams and deep meanings; (simple to understand). Easy(?) to practise (just have no attachment to the worldly things and get attached to Sriya: pathih:- easier said than done, azhwArE!- We are all worms lying down in rotten dirt; It will take lot of time to get out of this rut.- We need Your and (Y) our Narayanan's grace and lift to get us out- ALL of US; There are about 200 of us (Is it right mani?))
