TIRUVIRUTTAM  
And 
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (17)
----- 

81. Separation from Him is felt so painful by the
devotees, that they cannot be treated without adorning
them with the Tulasi garland of the Lord and taking
them to His place, the very old ThiruvEngkatam.

?uRukinRa kanmangkaL  mElAna  vErppilarAy, ivaLaip
  peRukinRa  thAyar meynonthu  peRArkol?  thuzhAy 
kuzhalvAytthu
  uRukinRilar,  thollai  vEngkatam  Attavum 
choozhkinRilar
  iRukinRathAl   ivaLAkam  mellAvi    erikoLLavE?

(The mother of this Lady-love has not understood what
is to be done to treat her for the disease from which
she is suffering. Whatever she is doing only increases
her pain and not subdues it; perhaps she didn?t get
this daughter through much physical effort! She does
not adorn her with the Tulasi garland of the Lord;
does not think of taking her to the ancient
ThiruvEngkata Hill.  Her body is becoming weaker and
weaker; the painful separation from Him may lead to
her death.)

82. He is present there to give His gracious look at
His devotees.

?erikoL  chennAyiRu  iraNdudanE  uthayam  malaivAy
   virikinRa  vaNNattha  emprumAn kaNkaL.?

(The Lord's eyes look like two bright suns that have
just risen above the mountain.)

83. He is present there to listen to His names being
recited by the devotees with their bodies and hearts
melting in devotion.
                                                      
           ?mukil vaNNan pEr
 kiLarik kiLarip pithaRRum mellAviyum naivumellAm
thaLirin  kolO aRiyEn.?

(Her life-breath and the body look weakened, as she is
with great difficulty murmuring the names of the Lord,
Who is of the colour of dark rainy cloud.)

84. He shines more when He is in the crowds of
devotees.

?thaiya nallArkaL kuzhAngkal kuzhiya kuzhuvinuLLum
  iyya nallArkaL kuzhiya vizhvinum  angkangkellAm 
  kaiyya  ponnAshi  veNcangkodum kANpAn avAvuvan nAn
  maiyyavaNNA, maniyE, mutthamE, enthan mANikkame?

(Oh, Black gem! My Lord, with the brilliance of blue
ruby, pearl and gem! I wish to witness You, with the
golden Discus and the white Conch in Your hands, in
the midst of a big crowd of beautiful girls; or a
gathering of virtuous men; or in crowded festivals; or
any such flood of people!)
85. He has no equal in excellence, because of the
prapatthi or surrender resorted to by devotees at His
feet.
                         ?maRRoppArai  illA
ANipponnE,  adiyEn   adi  Avi   adaikkalamE ?

(Oh my Lord with none equal to you! With the
brilliance of the rarest kind of gold! This soul of
mine, Your servant, is deposited with You.)
