SrI:
Dear BhakthAs of Lord DevanAtha PerumAL :
Let us study today the 7th Paasurams of MummaNikkOvai
housing many Upanishadic tathtvArTams .
Foreword on the Paasuram
*****************************
As referred to in the previous Paasurams , Lord of
Thiru Ayindhai revealed His Svaroopam , Roopam and GuNam
to Swamy Desikan / Venkata Naayaki and then disappeared .
Venakta Naayaki was sorrow stricken about the seperation
and wondered whether the Lord withdrew Himself because of
His lack of Dayaa for her or because of her unfitness to enjoy
the Lord . Lord now appears before her (Swamy Desikan )
and states that none of the above reasons contemplated by
her was correct . The Lord revealed that He has to follow
strcitly the rules of ArchAvathAram , where He does not have
the freedom to embrace Venakata Nayaki in a physical form
(archAvathAra MaryAdhai ) . Lord DevanAthan appealed to
Venkata Naayaki not to grieve over this and revealed some more
of His auspicious guNams to console her . Venakta Naayaki was thrilled
now from that Bhagavath anubhavam and eulogized further her Lord"s
Vaibhavam through this 7th Paasuram of MummaNikkOvai.
Seventh Paasuram:
*******************
This paasuram praises further the auspicious
attributes of Ayindhai Nagar NaarAyaNan .
This Paasuram is in Nilai maNDila AasiriyappA
like the fourth Paasuram and has 20 lines :
Payinmathi NeeyE payinmathi taruthalin
veLiyu NeeyE veLiyuRa niRRalin
thAyu(m) NeeyE chaayai tanthu uhatthalin
tanthayu(m) NeeyE munthi ninRu aLitthalin
-- -- -- ( Lines 1-4)
(meaning): Oh Lord who is true to Your devotees ! By blessing us
with the special Jn~Anam to enjoy Your roopam and Svaroopam ,
You are like the cool Moon that comforts the whole world with its
soothing rays (nilavu/kiraNams ). You are the embodiment of tEjas
( tEjOmayan ) since all the radiant bodies are shining from a small
portion of Your vast brilliance. You protect every janthu by
placing them in the comforting shade of Your sacred feet
and therefore take on the role of their Mother , who gave birth
to them . During PraLaya Kaalam , You stand alone and give
name and form to the Jeevans , which had no indhriyam or
SarIram at that time ; next , You create and protect them
at that time and thus serve as the Father of all those Jeevans .
uRavu(m) NeeyE thuRavAthu ozhithalin
uRRathu(m) NeeyE siRRinbham inmayin
aaRu(m) NeeyE aaRRukku aruLtalin
aRamu(m) NeeyE maRa nilai mAytthalin
-- -- -- ( Lines 5-8 )
(Meaning) : You are our relation in every way
(Sarva Vidha Bandhu) since You never fail
to come to our rescue . You are the fitting
and appropriate phalan for our upAyams
( Bhakthi and Prapatthi yOgams practised for
Moksha siddhi ) since you are the opposite of
the transient pleasures (alpa sukhams) of this
world . You are also the means since you bless
us with the phalan for practising that upAyam .
You are the dharma svaroopi , who destroys all
of our Paapams .
thuNaivanum NeeyE iNai ilayAthalin
thuyyanum NeeyE SeyyAL uRaithlin
kAraNam NeeyE NaaraNanAthalin
KaRpaham NeeyE Nall padham tarutalin
IRaivanum NeeyE kuRai onRu ilAmayin
inbhamum NeeyE thunbham tudaitthalin
-- -- -- ( Lines 9-14)
(Meaning ): You are our fitting companion , since there is
no one to match You. You are the purest One ( Parisuddhan) ,
since Periya PirAtti resides on Your chest without seperation .
You are the kAraNam( cause/reason ) for this universe , since
You are recognized by the NaarAyaNa sabdham . You are
the wish granting Kalpaka tree , since You bless us with
residence in Your Supreme Abode to perform nithya kaimkaryam
to You there forever . You are the SarvEswaran since You alone
do not have any blemishes (kuRaivu onRumilA Govindhan) ;
(i-e)., There is no deficecy in Your Roopam , GuNam or VibhUthi .
You are paramaanandha svaroopan since You drive away
all sorrows of those who seek Your refuge and let them enjoy You
as Parama bhOgyam .
yAnum NeeyE yennuL uRaithalin
yenathum NeeyE unathanRi inmayin
nallAy NeeyE pollAngu ilAmayin
vallAy NeeyE vaiyyam uNDu umizhthalin
yej~nnam aahum Meyya ninn iyalbhE
aj~nnE okka aRivathu AaraNamE
-- -- -- ( Lines 15--20)
(Meaning ) : You are not seperated from us ,
since You are our indweller . You are my vasthu/Master
as the commanding and owning Lord , since no chEthanam
or achEthanam can have independent existence and
have a Master (sEshi) other than You . Since every vasthu
in this universe is Your property , You are the true Lord of
all what we consider as ours . You are the supremely
lofty One , since you have no dhOshams whatsoever.
The dhOshams of the vasthus of the universe do not
get attached to You . You are the omnipotent One ,
since You swallowed the entire world during the praLaya
kaalam and then released it . Oh Lord , who is true to Your
bhaktha janams ! Only the Vedams can attempt somewhat to
eulogize Your wonderous vaibhavam and we are incapable of
engaging in such an attempt .
