1. Oh Mothers! (Why is this plural? - I was wondering. May be, AzhwAr is
such a gifted blessed child, that the entire Thirukkurugoor feels that He
is their dearest son.) This girl has fallen in love with
Thirutholaivillimangalam Divya dEsasthalam and the Lord of that sthalam.
Right since that separation from Him, she has been paying obeisance to
that Lord with folden hands. There are many huge halls with emerald stones
impregnated on the walls. She is unable to take her eyes off from those
beautiful walls. Having reached that stage, you can not get her back.
Don't have that desire to change her now. She is beyond all of that.
(Please do not interrupt her enjoyment of such blissful beauty of the
Lord). Look at her! She has been weeping and sobbing heavily with tears
rolling down her cheeks continuously, saying "white Sanghu", ChakrA, Red
Lotus Eyes etc., and keep thinking of Him only. (here in ths pAsuram, when
AzhwAr writes "tholaivilli mangalam thozhum" means: paying obeisance to
tholaivillimangalam with folded hands, he refers to sarIram (body).
Sanghu, chakrA- like that uttering continuously, AzhwAr refers to vaak
(saying). When AzhwAr mentions crying sobbing and with tears, thinking of
the Lord- he refers to manam (mind).)

3388:
kumuRum Osai vizhavolith* tholai  villi mangalam kondupukku,*
amutha menmozhiyaaLai* neer umakku  aasai inRi agaRRineer,*
thimir koNtaaloththu niRkum* maRRivaL  thEva thEva piraanenRE,*
nimiyum vaayotu kaNgaL neermalga*  nekkosindhu karaiyumE.	6.5.2

2. Tholaivillimangalam is filled always with various musical sounds and
sounds of vedic hymns. The One who speaks like a nectar about the Lord,
you all have taken her away from that place. Now she has been thinking of
that Lord only. You all can not think of getting her back at all. There is
no use i dsuch desires. She is standing like a statue (unable eo even
enjoy the Bhagavadh vishyam that needs to be enjoyed.) She is also
behaving like a paripoorNa jnAni. When she talks she says "Deva dEva
piraan" and she sobs with a twisted mouth and full of tears in her eyes,
her heart melting and longing deeply for Him.

3389:
karaikoL paimpozhil thaNpaNaith* tholai  villi mangalam kondupukku,*
uraikoLin mozhiyaaLai* neer umakku  aasaiyinRi agaRRineer,*
thiraikoL peLavaththu sErnthathum* thisai  NYaalam thaavi aLandhathum,*
niraigaL mEyththathumE pithaRRi*  nedungaNNeermalga niRkumE.	6.5.3

3. The fertile banks of river ThaamirabharaNi is even eroded by the
beautiful gardens and trees of Tholaivillimangalam Divya dEsam and it is
so exquisitely beautiful. This girl of yours has left you and taken
shelter at this sthalam. The whole world is praisinh her actions and her
(spritual) ecstatic talks and you are NOT ONLY not enjoying her ecstasy
but also tries to prevent her from doing the same. In the process, she has
no attachment to you and you yourself have made her go away from you. Now,
her deisre for Emperumaan has increased tremendously and she has been
melting talking about Him, the DevadEva piraan. She is narrating the
Beauty of His lying down so gracefully on ThiruppaaRkadal (Milk Ocean),
the way He measured the whole Universe and all directions in one step, the
way He performed the leelAsduring KrishNAvataar, - all that she has been
talking about with full of tears with Great mahAnubhavam, with her heart
melting with much ecstasy.

3390:
niRkum naanmaRai vaaNar vaazh* tholai  villi mangalam kandapin,*
aRga monRum aRavuRaaL* malinNthaaL  kaNteer ivaL annaimeer,*
kaRkum kalviyellaam* karungadal  vaNNan kaNNa piraanenRE,*
oRgamonRumilaL ugandhukandhu* uLmagizhndhu kuzhaiyumE.	6.5.4

4. Thirutholaivillimangalam is a Divya sthalam, which is always filled
with the Divine recitation sound of Vedic hymns and such Vedic scholars
reside there. After seeing that Divya dEsam, she has lost her feminine
quality of shyness ("naaNam") completely. It is just not possible for us
to tell some hitham and advise her; she has gone beyond all that. All her
talks are always on the names of The Black Beauty, The Dark, Blue hued,
Ocean colour, KaNNan only. She calls Him Piraan due to her being allured
by the Beauty of His Divya ThirumEni (Body). With signs of no exretion,
she has been telling His names and gets moved greatly doing that. (She
does not have shyness nor embarassment that she is showing her love for
Him in front of her mother). Her body gets weak thinking of KaNNan so
lovingly.

3391:
kuzhaiyum vaaLmugaththEzhaiyaith* tholai  villi mangalam kondupukku,*
izhaikoL sOthich chenNthaamaraik kaNpiraan* irundhamaikaattineer,*
mazhai peythaalokkum kaNNa neerinodu*  anRu thottummaiyaandhu,* ivaL
nuzhaiyum sindhaiyaL annaimeer!* thozhum  aththisaiyuRRu nOkkiyE.	6.5.5

5. She has got soft, tender, smooth beautiful face. She had so much love
for the Lord and you all showed this Divya dEsam; she is now trapped in
His beauty of this Divya Desam sthalam. Oh Mother! Hence, you have already
lost her. She is always on thoughts about Him only. She has lost herself
in His beauty. He shines so brightly and beautifully much above the
quantum of lustre of His ornaments (due to His own shining Body). >From
the day she saw His such Great shining Beauty, her tears are flowing down
the cheeks like rains. She keeps looking at that direction where
Devapiraan is there and is paying obeisance to Him, with her mind lost in
Him and His guNAs completely.

3392:
nOkkum pakkamellaam* karumpotu  sen^_nelOngu senNthaamarai,*
vaaykkum thaNporu_nal* vatagarai  vandholai villi mangalam,*
nOkkumEl _aththisaiyallaal* maRu  nOkkilaL vaigal naaLdhoRum,*
vaaykkoL vaasagamum* maNivaNNan  naamamE ivaL annaimeer!	6.5.6

6. Thirutholaivillimangalam is at the north bank of the river
ThaamirabharaNi. Wherever you see, there are only plants of sugarcane,
fields of paddy, all trying to compete with each other in their growth. It
is so fertile. Oh Mother! This girl is looking at no other place but
Tholaivillimnagalm only. At all time, uniterruptedly, she has been
uttering that MaNivaNNan's Thirunaamams (Divine names) only that signify
His Beauty and GuNAs.

3393:
annaimeer! aNimaamayil* siRu  maanivaL nNammaik kaivalindhu,*
enna vaarththaiyum kEtkuRaaL* tholai  villi mangalam enRallaal,*
munnam nORRa vithikolO* mugil  vaNNan maayangolO,* avan
chinnamum thiru naamamum* ivaL  vaayaNnakaL thirundhavE.	6.5.7

7. Oh Mother! Did you see her? When we taught her little words and small
easy names (of the Lord) she couyld not even pronounce them properly; she
was so young, little, girl. Now she has overtaken all of us; She is beyond
our reach. This beautiful girl, whose beauty is like that of deer and the
peacock, is just capable of hearing only "tholaivillimangalam" and nothing
else. Is it due to her puNyams accrued from her past births?  Or is it His
yet another leelA? I do not know. Now all that she know is to talk
perennially and correctly the symbols and names of the Lord of
Tholivillimangalam. ("avan chinnamum thirunaamamum"- 1. Emperumaan's snghu
and chakrA are referred to as the symbols (chinnam); 2. Thirunaamam
(name): The Lord's names like Aravindha lOchanan, DevadEva piraan.
NampiLLai enjoys as: When AzhwAr utters the names and symbols, they get
more benefitted and more sacred! like a. When Bhattar called Sri
RanganAthA, "Azhagiya MaNavaaLa Perumaan" He got benefitted. b. Sri
RamanujA was called by SomAjiaaNdaan as Emeprumaanaar, that name got
benefitted. c.Ananthaazhwaan used to call Sri VenkatEsa as
"ThiruvEnkadamudaiyaan". What an anubhavam of NampiLLai!

3394:
thirundhu vEdhamum vELviyum* thirumaa  makaLirum thaam,* malinthirundhu
vaazhporu_nal* vatakarai  vaNdholaivilli mangalam,*
karundhatangaNNikai thozhutha* _anNnaaL thotangi innaaL dhoRum,*
irundhirundhu 'aravindha lOsana!'*  enREnRE nNaindhirangumE.	6.5.8

8. Tholaivillimangalam- Since the place, located at the northern bank of
river ThaamirabharaNi,  is filled entirely with the reverberating Vedic
hymns and continuous performances of Yaaghams, there was huge wealth and
fertility. This large black eyed beautiful girl, is looking at that Divya
dEsam aways with folded hands, and is calling the Lord's name as
"Aravindha lOchanA!" and melts uttering that name with great ecstasy and
enjoyment.  (Aravindha lOchanan- Lotus eyed Lord- ThaamaraikkaNNan.
Tholaivillimanagala perumaaL's name is also AravindhalOchanan.)

3395:
irangi naaLdhoRum* vaayvereei _ivaL  kaNNa neergaL alamara,*
marangaLum iraNGgum vagai*  `maNivaNNavO!' enRu koovumaal,*
thurangam vaaypiLanNthaan uRai* tholai  villi mangala menRu,* than
karangaL kooppith thozhum* avvoorth thiru_naamaNG kaRRadhaR pinnaiyE.	6.5.9

9. This girl, everyday, is sobbing and weeping continuously with great
Bhakti and longing for the Lord- with the mouth stuttering and stammering
due to her emotional anubhavam and suffering; the eys welled with tears;
even the trees pitying this girl's emotional sufferings,- She is calling
the Lord with loud voice, "MaNivaNNA!". This lord of Tholaivillimangalam
is the One who killed the kesi (asurA, who came as a horse to kill
KaNNan). She keeps uttering Tholaivillimangalam, Tholaivillimangalam, and
she pays obeisance to that stalam by looking continuously in that
directions, with folded hands, plams glued to each other, offering
shraddhaanjali. Didn't she get this only after she came to know about this
sthalam?

(When Embaar was asked as to how the trees can pity ParaangusanAyaki's
emtional suffering and languishing, Embaar replied: We, great sinners- the
ones who do not even carry out yamam, niyamam, etc., and are digressing
away from saastraas, are able to get moved to such an extent rreciting
AzhwAr's pAsurams and his (her?)feelings, is it not possible for a tree
that lived during his time to experience what AzhwAr says or feels?.
Dearest sisters and brothers, A Great anubhavam of Embaar!  - NampiLLai
has said that even achEthanAs like the tree gets moved - we need not say
about chEthanAs; naturally all those who lived at Thirukkurugoor would
have enjoyed and experienced the same. LUCKY PEOEPLE!  AzhwAr becomes the
father and mother to the entite Kurugoor to lead them and help them
experience the way he does! - That is why MadhurakaviAzhwAr calls
NammAzhwAr as "annaiyaay atthanaay...." (mother and father to him).

3396:
pinnai kol nNilamaamagaLkol?*  thirumagaLkol? piRandhittaaL,*
ennamaayangolO_?* ivaL   nNedumaalenRE nNinRu koovumaal,*
munni vandhavan ninRirundhuRaiyum* tholaivilli mangalam senniyaal vaNaNGgum*
avvoorth thiru_naamam* kEtpathu sindhaiyE.	6.5.10

10.  (When we see her experiencing and longing for Him to such an extent,
we even get a doubt if she is one of Piraatis Herself?). Is she Nappinaai
Piraatti Herself? Or BhUmipiraatti? Or going across such mad love after
the Lord! Is she Periya Piraatti Herself? This is a great wonder! She
calls Him as Nediyaa maalE! (Oh Big, VishNU!) And He stays permanently at
Tholaivillimangalam, listening to her call and obeying her order. She
prostrates at this sthalam with her head touching the ground. When she
loves to hear the name of this sthlam.

3397:##
sindhaiyaalum sollaalum seygaiyinaalum*  thEva piraanaiyE,*
thandhai thaayenRadaindha*  vaNkurukooravar sadagOpan_sol,*
mundhai aayiraththuL ivai* tholai  villi mangalaththaich chonna,*
sendhamizhpaththum vallaar* adimai  seyvaar_ thirumaalukkE.	6.5.11

11. Considering DevadEvapiraan as his mother, father, AzhwAr sang 1000
pAsurams, with his manas, vaak, and kaayam (mind, words and
body(actions)), as means. Out of those 1000, the readers of these ten will
DEFINITELY GET TO SERVE LORD VISHNU AS ETERNAL SERVANTS OF SRI VAIKUNTAM.
(here, two meanings are interpreted by AchAryAs: 1. AzhwAr, the person
from Thirukkurugoor, considered Deva Devapiraan as mother and father and
sang these pAsuams. 2. AzhwAr, the mother and father of Thirukurugoor
people, sang these pAsurams on Deva dEva piraan. IN FACT, THE SECOND ONE
IS MORE CORRECT AND APPROPRIATE. AhzwAr is so great!. After all, He is Our
AzhwAr! NammAzhwAr!)
