1. EmperumaanE! (Without getting bounded by KarmAs, just to join the
bhakthAs and devotees, for making Your Divya ThirumEni, (which gets NEVER
entangled with prakritti) commonly and easily accessible to all bhakthAs
and a source of tremendous enjoyment for all devotees) You were born here
in this place. When I think of that sowlabhya guNA of yours, the
ParamAtmA, to appear amongst us, the lowly selves, my heart melts, Lord!
Is Your birth alone a wonder and marvel (for having released Your parents
devaki and VasudEvar instantaneously)? the way You grew up, was yet
another marvel. (bhUthanai's life itself was sucked by You; You grew up
and were taken care affectionately by YasOdhA; How nicely You were brought
up!) Then You made the KurukshEthra battle get called The MahAbhAratha
Yudhham" and took so many strategies and wonders for Pancha PaaNdavaas to
win; (You said You will not take the weapon; But it is not essential for
You to use weapon for winning; even your smile is enough!) After
completing the purpose of Your avattars, You have disappeared to
SrIvaikuntam. When I think of all such wonderful events and Your marvelous
acts, they all refuse to leave my mind and are torturing me to see You; I
am greatly moved by such acts of Yours; Oh Most beautiful, Illustrious
Lord! When will I join You?

3333:
vathuvai vaarththaiyuL ERu paayndhathum* maaya maavinai vaaypiLandhathum*

athuvithu uthuvennal aavana valla* ennai un seygai naivikkum*
muthuvaiya muthalvaa!* unnai enRu thalaip peyvanE?*.	5.10.2

2. When You heard that only the One who tames the seven oxen and kills
them will be able to marry Nappinnai, You immediately fought and killed
the seven oxen to establish Your valor. The asurA, who came in disguise as
a horse (kEsi)- was killed by You. Oh KaNNA! Maayavaa! You danced with
those beautiful gOpis; one can not categorize Your acts as this type, that
type, or neutral, etc., and add value to them- (they are beyond
analyzing). Oh Lord! The One who protected the Old Universe during
PraLayam! When will I be able to join You? (Means: You protected the one
that is old; the universe; but now, I am alive, struggling, suffering,
lamenting; yet, why don't You protect me? - as interpreted by
Periyavaacchaan PiLLai)

3334:
peyyum poonguzhal pEymulai uNta* piLLaith thERRamum* pErndhOr saadiRach-
seyya paathamonRaal* seytha nin siRuchsEvagamum*
neyyuN vaarththaiyuL annai kOlkoLLa* neeyun thaamaraik kaNkaL neermalga*
paiyavE nilaiyum vandhu* en nenchai urukkungaLE*.	5.10.3

3. KaNNA! Your wonderful, valorous acts stupefy me and are killing me;
bhUthnai came and acted as if she is so fond of You and breast fed You
with her poisonous milk to kill You; but You are simply GREAT. You sucked
the poisonous milk along with her life even! What a wonderful infant,
kutti KaNNA! You destroyed the One who came as a wheel of a cart to run
over You! You established Your bAla paraakramam by kicking that wheel with
Your small, rosy, lovely, cute, Red Lotus like Paadham (foot)! The moment
yasOdhA heard that You stole the butter and ate form others' houses, she
scolded You (the small lovely boy) with angry fear some eyes and with a
sharp stick in her hands and You looked at her with tears rolling down the
tender soft cheeks from Your beautiful eyes, and pleaded innocence- this
scene even today is melting my heart, KaNNA! (It  is melting us, too.
Isn't it? Sisters and brothers, Aha!  what a poet  and what an enjoyment!
The same feeling and enjoyment one gets when we  listen to Sri KrishNa
prEmi's upanyaasam- SUPERB and full of Kannan  anubhavams;)

3335:

veLLa neerchchataiyaanum* ninnitai vERalaamai viLanga ninRathum*
uLLamuL kutaindhu* en uyirai urukki uNNumE*.	5.10.4

4. (In the last pAsuram, AzhwAr narrated about the mischiefs He did in His
bhakthAls' homes- here in this pAsuram, how He did mischief in the
enemies' group, too). EmperumaanE! You are a Great Lord! You deceived
people by telling some interpretation against vEdAs and took the vEsham of
BhuddhA to mislead people who are of nature of asurAs by giving  wrong
religious upadEsams from BuddhA. You made them go against Vaidheeka
shraddhai. When I think of such marvelous mischievous acts of Yours, I can
NOT understand them; this makes me suffer even more with Your wonderful
acts; not just that. You have even granted a portion of Your body to Sivan
also, who was created by You. These acts are really melting my heart and
my AthmA. (NampiLLAi and Periyavaacchaan PiLLai also mentioned this
bhuddhA tatvam)

3336:
uNNa vaanavar kOnukku* aayar oruppatuththa adisiluNtathum*
vaNNamaal varaiyai eduththu* mazhaikaaththathum*
maNNai mun pataiththuNtumizhndhu* katandhitandhu maNandha maayangaL*
eNNunthORum en neNYsu* erivaay mezhukokkum ninRE*.	5.10.5

5. KaNNa PerumAnE! When Aayar kulam was worshipping IndrA and offered food
to him, You, as a boy, started eating before the food was offered to
IndrA; You protected all of them including the cattle by lifting GOvardhan
Giri with Your little finger when it rained cats and dogs (as per the
command of angry IndrA). You kept the entire universe in Your stomach
during Cosmic cycle ending and spat them after. Are Your wonders just
that? No. You took TrivikramAvataar and measured the entire world in one
step. You brought the same earth back during Varaaha avataar. When I think
of all such marvelous acts, my heart has been melting like the burning
wax.

3337:
ninRavaaRum irundhavaaRum* kitandhavaaRum ninaippariyana*
onRalaa uruvaay* aruvaaya nNinmaayangaL*
ninRu ninRu ninaikinREn* unnai eNGNGaNnam nNinaikiRpan* paaviyERku-
onRu nNan_kuraiyaay* ulagamuNta oNsutarE!*.	5.10.6

6. Oh BhagawaanE! The One who saved the world during PraLayam! I can NOT
think and understand Your greatness; You stand, sit, lie down- Your
postures are never fully understandable; Your acts are so wonderful and
marvelous. Even though I melt thinking of these excellent marvels of Your
mischief, I still am NOT able to completely capture You. The Greatest
sinner, I am. How can I dare expect to see You and understand You? Please
bless me and show me Your mercy on me to get to know You.

("ninRavaaRum irundhavaaRum kidanthavaaRum"- the first line of this
pAsuram means: the standing, sitting and lying down posture at
Thiruvooragham, Thiruppaadagham and Thiruve:gaa respectively, as per
panneeraayiraappadi.

NampiLLai says: ninRavaaRum- SrI Rama stands victoriously at lankA
entrance; iRundhavaaRum- SrI Rama sits most gracefully at Chithrakootam
along with His consort SItA; kidanthavaaRum-at ParNasaalai SrI Rama is
lying down and relaxing)

There are also interpretaions from KrishNAvataar: 1. Govardhan Giri-
ninRavaaRum; 2. With aaycchi Gopis, sitting with the- iRundhavaaRum; 3.
lying down on the lap of Gopis- KidanthavaaRum.

When ThiruvarangapperumAL araiyar was singing this pAsuram, this line, Sri
Ramanujar was having his eyes closed and enjoying and uttered " all
happened at the craddle where kutti KaNNan was sleeping;- He tries to get
up to catch the bell that is tied at the top of the craddle-ninRavaaRum;
but, He loses balance and sits on it- irundhavaaRum; getting tired and
exhausted, He lies down there itself- KidanthavaaRum- WHAT A GREAT
ANUBHAVAM OF YATIRAAJAA!

In fact, Thirumazhisai has sung a pAsuram also on the same words enjoying
these three- "ninRathu enthan ooraghatthu, iRundhathu enthan
paadagatthu.....anRu naan piRanthilEn piRanthapin maRanthilEn ninRathum
iRundhathum kidandhathum en nenjuLE- I was not born when He stood at
Thiruooragham; when He sat at Thiruppaadagham and when He lied down at
Thiruva:ghaa but after I was born, I simply can not forget. He stood, sat
and lied down - where? in my heart only-ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr enjoys thus)

3338:

thiNkoLLa orunNaaL* aruLaay un thiruvuruvE*.	5.10.7

7.My KaNNA, The One who is like The Black Emerald! In my inner eye, in my
mind, You are showing Yourself so majestically, so brightly as a
jOthiswarUpi. But You are not seen outside and there is so much darkness
outside. (Also, for devotees, You are showering so much mercy and saving
them always and hence, are seen so conspicuously and so brightly by them,
while for the non-believers, You are NOT seen and You keep them in the
dark.) But I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE YOU WITH MY PHYSICAL EYES. You are doing
EVERYTHING behind the stage. For my mind You have done so much to enable
NOT to forget me at anytime. There is no boundary or limit for what You
have done to me. I am SIMPLY MOVED thinking of all these Great wonderful
acts of Yours and Your mercy on me. (Even when my mind has enjoyed You so
much, my eyes are NOT able to see!) At least someday (one day) Please
bless me to enable me see and enjoy Your Lotus Feet COMPLETELY.

3339:

aruvi sOrum kaNNeer* en_seygEn adiyEnE!*.	5.10.8

8. EmperumaanE! I am getting moved tremendously listening to Your guNAs
and wonderful acts. I am contemplating on Your lovely Beautiful Yoga
nithrA in Your Graceful lying posture during the PraLayam. You are the
antharyaamin of BrahmA, who appeared on the Lotus from Your Navel. Having
him as the sarIram (body), You are the One who is creating everything.
When I think of such Primordial nature and unmatched, peerless, Parathvam
of Yours and when I think of Your Glorious acts, my heart simply melts
longing for You, and admiring Your Lordship and my eyes are welled with
tears, that roll down the cheeks ceaselessly. What will "adiyEn" do?

3340:
adiyai moonRai irandhavaaRum* angE nNinRaazh katalum maNNum viNNum-
mudiya* eeradiyaal* mudiththuk koNta mukkiyamum*
notiyu maaRavai kEtkunNthORum* en nencham nin_dhanakkE karaindhugum*
kotiya valvinaiyEn* unnai enRukol kootuvathE?*.	5.10.9

9. BhagawaanE! You went to mahAbhali and begged for three measures of
land, and immediately appeared as Trivikraman. The deep seas, the entire
earth, the dEva lOkam, etc., etc., - all You measured in Your two steps
with Your Feet and for the third, stepped on mahAbhali's head and
imprisoned him. What a marvel! What a wonder! What a Glorious act!
Hearing such acts, narrating such marvels my heart immerses itself in
those things and simply melts, Lord! I, The Greatest sinner- when will I
join You? (They all say that "naama sankheerthan" removes even Great sins,
- but uttering His names and guNAs are troubling me heavily and are
  melting my heart, to the contrary!)

3341:
kooti neerai kataindha vaaRum* amutham thEvar uNNa* asurarai-
veedum vaNNangaLE* seythu pOna viththagamum*
ootu pukku enadhaaviyai* urukki uNtitukinRa* nin _dhannai-
naadum vaNNam sollaay* nachchu nNaagaNai yaanE!*.	5.10.10

10. EmperummanE! Look at the way You churned the ThiruppaaRkadal (Milk
Ocean). You were unbiased and joined dEvAs and asurAs and helped them; but
ultimately You made only dEvAs eat the nectar (amirtham). You appeared as
The Most Beautiful mOhinI and cheated the asurAs to forget the amirtham. I
am greatly moved by such excellent glories of Yours, EmperumaanE! Your
such marvelous acts enter into my mind, my heart, my jIvan (uyir) and are
only eating me terribly. How will I know to get rid if it? Oh NathanE! The
One who lies down on AdhisEshA! Please bless me the way to reach Your
Lotus Feet.

11. Thirukkurugoor SrI SadagOpar has surrendered at the Lotus Feet of
Emperumaan (who lied down on AdhisEshA), and with that only thinking in
his mind, and sang 1000 pAsurams with great bhakti for Emperumaan. Out of
those 1000, readers of these ten are sure to reach the eternal SrI
Vaikuntam.
