---------------  
TIRUVIRUTTAM  
And 
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (11)
-----  

51. For that sake, He will exert Himself even to churn
an ocean using a mountain as a staff.
        ?malai-koNdu matthA  aravAl  chuzhaRRiya  mAyappirAn
  alai-kaNdu  koNda  amutham?

(Using the mountain (Manthara mountain) as the
churning-rod and the snake (vAsuki) as the rope, the
Lord, who had immense strength, churned the ocean
(Milky ocean) and took the nectar from it.)
[Here it is implied that the Lord got the nectar after
the great effort for the gods and not for Himself.
Similarly, He will labour hard for His devotees.]

52. To assist Him in that work, He has SrI, His
Consort.
 ?alarvAi  mazhzikkaN  madanthai  arvaNai  ERa? 

(SrI, who lives in the lotus and is with delightful
looks, gets on to the Lord?s snake-bed --
[of AdishEShan, in the middle of the Milky Ocean.])

53. He is of such great excellence as to make every
thing connected with Him to provide the same bliss as
His.
                                               ?deivat
taNNan-thuzhAit
thArAyinum, thazhaiyAyinm, thaN-kombathAyinum, keezh
vErAyinum, ninRa maNNAyinum koNdu veesuminE.?

(Please fan me with His pleasant Tulasi garland, or
its leaves, or its stem, or its root, or even the soil
on which it stood.)

54. Even though He is in the highest position, He will
not hesitate to do the meanest acts for the sake of
His devotees.
                                                      
           ?ney thoduvuNdu
Esumpadi-yanna cheyyum em  Isar  viNNOr  pirAnAr.?

(He is our Lord, also the Lord of nitya sooris of
SrIvaikuNtam, Who did reproachable acts like steeling
and eating the butter with His own hands, in the
cowherd-colony here.)

55. He considers that only by such acts His high Abode
acquires dignity.
 ?EnamonRAy  maNthukaLAdi  vaikuntam?

(The Vaikuntam belongs to Him, Who as a pig (VarAha
incarnation), enjoyed the mud of the earth.)
