(Did you read? The words just come and dove tail into the slots so cute.)
This pAsuram is about Thrivikramavataar. - Bhagawaan Thrivikraman, when He
took the Huge, Large, Great, Grand, Form to measure the universe, firstly,
the ChakratthAzhwAn appeared. Then Sanghu and Kothandam (Divine Conch and
Bow) appeared. From all directions, there were sounds of greetings that
emanated with "Vaazhgha; Vaazhgha". Subsequently, The maze and the Sword
appeared. Like the fountain of water that just spurts out spontaneously,
the Cup of His crown and the tip of His tow appeared simultaneously,
ripping apart, the sky and the world. Immediately, it is good and great
time that appeared for the world. Thus,-My father (appan),- The way He
measured the Universe- What a marvel it is! What a shining form the world
was of (when He appeared in this world)!

(In the second pAsuram, AzhwAr talks about Emperumaan's act during
Churning of Milk Ocean by Devas and asurAs). My father, - en appan- He
churned the Milk Ocean for Devas and created a mood of Big Festival. When
the Ocean was churned with the Manthara mountain in the middle, the rivers
(that were to run and flow towards the Ocean) started running away form it
and were flowing back to their respective mountains (from where they came
from). (Naturally, when the mountain was in the middle, the whole place
was at a higher elevation, and the rivers were flowing form the higher
elevation to their mountains.). Due to all those rivers flowing backwards,
there was tremendous roar of water gushing backwards. There was also the
Great big sound of Vasuki snake, rubbing against the Manthara mounatin,
which made the mountain move form right to left. That sound added to the
noise. The waves and the deep water coming to the surface due to churning
was also supplementing to the enormous noise that engulfed the whole area.
(what a visualisation of AzhwAr! What a show Emeprumaan showed to AzhwAr!)
Like that Emperumaan, as KurmA avataar, helped Devas churn the Ocean and
eat Nectar (Amirtham).

(In this thrid pAsuram, it is Varaaha avattar's mahaatmiyam.) en appan- My
father- took Varaaha avathaaram and brought the BhUmi (The Earth) back.
When He brought back the Earth, all Seven oceans, Seven mountains, Seven
islands, were all in tact and did not at all shift their respective
locations. It is due to His protections and grace, everything was in its
place.

(This is about His saving the entire universe during PraLayam (Cosmic
cycle end)). During the Big PraLaya kaalam, Emperumaan, ate the whole,
entire universe as His food, and retained it in His stomach to protect the
same. When He did that, He sucked the whole world. There was a huge sound
and was a great noise to suck the entire land, the water, etc.. The time,
the directions, the land, the space, the air, the water, - all were
sucked. There was NO DIFFERENCE between them, when they were all hidden
inside the stomach. The Planets, The fire the mountains, The Sun, The
Moon- all went inside and lost their places and forms. - Like that He ate
EVERYTHING as His food and had them in His stomach.

(This pasuram decsribes the way Lord conducted and made Pandavas win
KurushEthra battle.) My father- Emperumaan- majestically brought the
Chariot to the middle of the army, with everyone seeing with awe, His
effortlessness. During that time, there were various noises. When the
soldiers (mallars- wrestlers?) fell on the ground dying, after being hit
very badly, there were huge noises; There were also noises of running away
from the scene by other kings' soldiers who were terribly scared and were
shivering looking at Emperumaan's effortless coming to the middle with
Divine tEjas and exquisite Beauty. The Proud Devas, appeared in the sky
and praised Him and such noises also added to the sound.

(This is the excellent description of Nrisimha avataar.) en appan- My
father- took Narasimha avataar and showed His anger. He gave hiraNyan
terrible regret for his misdeeds and apchaaram to His bhakthA and cured
that regret by killing the asuran and destroying him. When the evening was
about to come in and the day time was getting over (during twilight),
Emperumaan killed HiraNyan. He tore him and killed him with blood gushing
out everywhere- the sky, the earth and in all directions. This act was
similar to a huge mountain that has been dropped on the ground and a Big,
ferocious Lion cuts that mountain into two pieces with terrible anger.

(Sri Ramaavathaaram is narrated herein.). en appan- Sri Raman- the way He
destroyed lankaa with His Valour, His Dharma and His Greatness. There was
no "mayyam" (no cheating or mischief). There were metallic twangs and
sounds everwhere with the twangs of Emperumaan's bow chord (and also of
IlayaperumaaL's) and the sound of arrows hitting against each other in all
directions. There were hundreds and hundreds of bodies falling on the
ground dying. The entire area was filled with blood and it was a blood
river that was flowing towards the sea to make it look red. Thus the
entire lankaa was made to dust by Sri Rama.

(Bhagawaan's cutting the shoulders of bANAsuran). En appan- (when
bANAsuran came to fight against Him,) KaNNan, conquered him and cut his
shoulders and won the battle. To support the bANAsuran, SubramaNyan came
and lost. Then came Agni and he also lost to KaNNan. After agni ran away
from the scene, came Sivan, who also lost to KaNNan.

(Here, AzhwAr talks about the way He created the worlds). He is the
Primordial Chief. He, created the whole universe, in the beginning. At
that time, He created BhUmi, Water, Fire, Air and the Space (the Panch
BhUthAs). He also created the Sun and the Moon. He created many other
objects and then, on top of that He created rains, the lives (among
beings) and the demi Gods.

(The Govardhana Giri episode is described). Like the fierce fire, the
rains rained (like cats and dogs) for consecutive seven days and nights)
to destroy the Aayar kulam (due to Indran getting antagonised by them).
KaNNan- Kutti KaNNan- Boy KaNNan, with little finger, effortlessly lifted
the huge Govardhana mountain above His Head in order to let all in Aayar
kulam- (the cattle, the salves, the people etc.. etc..) cone under the
mountain and stay for seven days. The animals from the mountain fell down
rolling down from the top of the mountain. The water falls and the streams
started flowing down with more force (due to higher elevation now). Every
one belonging to Aayarpaadi stayed under the mountain peacefully (drinking
the Sowlabhya- Sowseelaya exquisite Beauty of that Neela mEgha ShyAmaLan-
lifting the Huge mountain effortlessly with a mandhahaasam (smile) on His
face, and looking at them (the "poor" aayar kulam- enriched with His Most
merciful glance on them- I am quite sure they would have felt bad when the
rain stopped!)

11. Sri SadagOpar has sung 1000 pAsurams about KaNNan and narrated His
glories, with Bhakti laden verses. Those who read these ten (out of 1000 )
are SURE to come out VICTORIOUS. (NampiLLai says: those who read with a
desire in their hearts will get their desires fulfilled; Those who are
after wealth, will get more wealth; Those who have surrendered to the Lord
will get their five senses conquered by them; those who are prapannas will
win against the Kaimkarya virOdhis (enemies of kaimkaryam). (The ChUrNikai
8 to 21 in Thirumanthra prakaraNam in mumukshupadi is equivalent to these
ten verses)
