TIRUVIRUTTAM  
And 
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (19)
----- 
91. By His excellent qualities and simplicity, the
Lord makes the devotees determined not to approach
anyone else other than Himself. 
 ?churunguRi  veNNey  thoduvuNda  kaLvanai, 
vaiyyamuRRum
  orunguRa  uNda  peruvayiRRALanai   mAvalimAttu 
  irungkuRaLaki  isaiyavOr  moovadi  vENdicchenRa
  perungkiRiyAnai  allAl  adiyEn  nencham  pENalathE.?

(I am His servant! My heart will not solicit anyone
else other than the Lord, Who stealthily took away the
butter collected and saved in a secured pot kept
hanging from the ceiling, Who swallowed all the worlds
leaving nothing into His wide stomach, Who tactfully
approached Emperor mahAbhali as a dwarf and begged
just three feet of land from him.)

92. Not only by His qualities, but even through His
forms, He does likewise.
  
 ?nin  moorthi    palkooRRilonRu    kANalumAm kol??
(Can anyone see at least one of the many aspects of
Your form?)

93. He blesses the seers who praise Him by His names
and meditate on His form.

           ?kAlai nanj~nAnatthuRai  padinthAdik 
kaNpOthu  ceithu
             mAlai   nanAvil  koLLAr, ninaiyAr  avan  
maippadiyE.?
(There are many who do not even think of the Lord?s
dark form; nor worship Him in the evening uttering His
names with devotion closing their eyes; nor do they
immerse themselves in spiritual knowledge.)
[The implied message is that only the virtuous few
will devote themselves in these activities and get
blessed by Him.]

94. Without such a spiritual knowledge, even if one
utters one of His names, the Lord blesses him.
 ?eppadi oorA  milaikkak  kuruttA  milaikkum  ennum
  appadi  yAnum  chonnEn  adiyEn  maRRu  yAthu 
enbanE.?
(I also worship You, like the blind cows make sounds
following the cows who do so on their return to their
sheds. I am Your servant, what else can I say?)

95. The Lord provides only benefits to those who
surrender to Him, like a mother and a father.
   ?yAthunum  paRRi  neengum  virathatthai  nal  veedu
 ceyyum
mAthAvinaip  pithuvait    thirumAlai     vaNanguvanE.?
(I surrender to the Consort of SrI, who is like a
mother and a father, and Who made me to leave all
other paths.)
