SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, After Darasaratha?s lamenting decad, AzhwAr relishes singing the entire Ramayanam in his last set of verses in PerumAL Thirumozhi. The whole Ramayanam is beautifully narrated in just 11 verses and is sung referring to Thirucchithrakootam Diyya Desam perumAL. The same Lord Sri Rama resides here in this divya desam permanently. Thillai Thirucchitrakootam Pasurams of Kulasekhara are nothing but Sampoorna Ramayanam. The same chitra kootam Rama resides with Sita and Lakshmanan. He salutes the Lord as the one, who enjoyed the bliss with Sita Devi at the foot hills of Chitrakootam. Kulasekhara was moved by the beauty of Tillai nagar that he was reminded of the beauty of the Chitrakootam of the north and called Thillai as Thiruchitrakootam. He is a great Rama Bhaktha and hence moved by the beauty of the Archa murthy of that Kshetram. He was in Govinda Raja Sri Ramachandra and composed his Sampoorna Ramayanam then and there. These verses have enshrined themselves containing mantrams, Sundara khaandam (or Ramayanam) meanings and inner meanings that are commonly understood and commented by our achaaryas. We will relish the direct meanings and translation of this wonderful verses. angaNedu mathiLpudaisoo zhayOtthi yennum aNin^agarath thulakanaitthum viLakkum sOthi vengathirOn kulatthukkOr viLakkaayth thOnRi viNmuzhuthu muyakkoNda veeran Rannai, sengaNeduNG karumugilai yiraaman Rannaith thillain^agar_th thirucchithra koodan^ thannuL engaLthani muthalvanaiyem perumaan Rannai enRukolO kaNkuLirak kaaNu naaLE 10.1 filled with the most beautiful places, tall ramparts of the buildings, in the city named Ayoddhi, where Jagath kaaraNan, the Param jyOthi Sriman Narayanan took avathAram as Sri Ramachandra in Surya vamsa, in an unparalleled avathAram, the most valorous One who removed the sorrows of everyone; who has the most beautiful red lotus eyes; who is like dark hued rainy clouds; who enchants everyone with His divine beauty and most beautiful ruddy lined large eyes; who shows Himself at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam; who is Primordial Chief; Our Master; - such most wonderful Lord- emperumAn- when will I able to enjoy seeing Him and relish His divine beauty?- longs AzhwAr. vanthethirntha thaatakaithan uratthaik keeRi varukuruthi pozhitharavan kaNaiyon REvi manthirangoL maRaimunivan vELvi kaatthu vallarakka ruyiruNda mainthan kaaNmin senthaLirvaay malarn^agaisEr sezhunthaN sOlaith thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL andhaNar_ka Lorumoovaa yirava rEttha aNimaNiyaa sanatthiruntha vammaan RaanE 10.2 The Lord Sri Ramanachandra who sent the strongest sharp arrow through Thaataka [who had come in front of Him to prevent the yaagams of Sage Viswamitra] with blood pouring out of her chest, killing her, thus saving and protecting the yaagam of the revered vedic sage; the one who also conquered Subhahu and Mareecha who came to stop the same yaagam; He is the same who shows Himself so gracefully and majestically at Thillai Thiruchitrakootam, which is full of charming gardens where fragrant cool flowers are found aplenty; full of red tender leaves with flowers at the centers; which enchants the residents and visitors. Obeisance is paid to this EmperumAn by about three thousands of Srivaishnavas who do not know and want anything other than the Lord Himself as the Only Goal; ananya prayOjanars. He is the One and Only One- Sarveshwaran who sits on Golden throne impregnated with the most precious gem stones in this Diyya Desam. selvarin^aR karun^edungaN seethaik kaakich sinavidaiyOn silaiyiRutthu mazhuvaa LEnthi vevvarin^aR silaivaangi venRi koNdu vElvEnthar pakaithatintha veeran Rannai thevvarancha nedumpurisai yuyarntha paangar_th thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL evvariveNY silaitthatakkai yiraaman Rannai iRainchuvaa riNaiyatiyE yiRainchi NnEnE 10.3 In order to garland the most beautiful long and large eyed Sita PiraaTTi, the one who bent (and thus broke) the Siva?s bow; the one who also bent the bow and sent the arrow from the bow of Parasurama and emerged victorious on the way back from Mythila; the most valorous warrior who conquered all the enemy kings; the one who shows Himself as gracefully at Thillai Chitrakootam Divya Desam, which is surrounded by tall ramparts that terrify and scare the enemies. He is the Lord Sri Raman holding the divine bow in His long hands. [Azhwaar describes his daasyaa state to the Bhagavathaas of the Emperumaan of Thillai Thiruchitrakootam in this verse] O Ramachandra! I take refuge at the holy feet of the Bhagavathaas, who have performed SaraNaagathi at your lotus feet. thotthalar_pooNY surikuzhalkai kEsi sollaal thennakaran^ thuranthuthuRaik gangai thannai patthiyudaik kukan_kadattha vanampOyp pukkup parathanukku paathukamu marasu meenthu sitthirakoo tatthirunthaan Rannai yinRu thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL etthanaiyum kaNkuLirak kaaNap peRRa irun^ilatthaark kimaiyavarn^E rovvaar thaamE 10.4 leaving the kingdom of Ayodhya heeding to the words and order of the flowed bedecked curly haired Kaikeyi, proceeded to the forest where the most loving Guhan (the hunter and the boatman) resided; granted the most powerful and auspicious pair of Padhukas of Himself to His younger brother Bharatha along with the kingdom. Sri Ramachandra Murthy the one was with Sita PiraaTTi in Chithra kootam is now here at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam for all the residents of the earth to enjoy seeing Him at this place.

This earth is indeed sanctified by the movement of those Bhagavathas in this Divya Desam. They raise their hands in salutation to Sri Rama of Chitrakootam with their Anjali mudra (Pasuram 5). thanamaruvu vaithEki piriya luRRuth thaLarveythis sataayuvaivai kunthath thERRi vanamaruvu kaviyarasan kaathal koNdu vaaliyaikon Rilangain^aga rarakkar kOmaan sinamadanga maaruthiyaal suduvith thaanaith thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL inithamarntha ammaanai iraaman Rannai Etthuvaa riNaiyatiyE yEtthi Nnene 10.6 Having lost His only wealth Sita, Sri Rama remorseful reached where Jatayu, the eagle king, was lying down with his wings cut [earlier by Ravana, while fighting with him, trying and attempting to save Sita] and sent Jatayu to Paramapadham; befriended Sugreevan who was living in fear from his brother Vaali; killed Vaali and coronated Sugreevan, the as the monkey king; thorugh His messenger Hanuman, burnt the lankA city the place of Raakshasa king Ravana and tamed his ego and arrogance; - Such most wonderful Lord Sri Ramachandra murthy is beautifully showing himself so sweetly at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam.

Listening to His divine life story [Ramayanam] with my ears, enjoying His divine beauty with my eyes I would never ever consider any other object as worthy even if it is Devaamrutham (the divine nectar). He alone is my enjoyment and sweetest nectar. seRithavaccham puganRannais senRu konRu sezhumaRaiyO Nnuyirmeettuth thavatthO Nneentha niRaimaNippoo NaNiyunkoN tilavaNan Rannaith thampiyaal vaanERRi munivan vENda thiRalviLangu milakkumanaip pirinthaan Rannaith thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL uRaivaanai maRavaatha vuLLan^ thannai udaiyOmmaR RuRuthuyara mataiyO minRE 10.9 [Sampuka vatham] The Lord who searched and killed Sampukan and got back the son of Vedic Brahmin; who accepted the precious necklace given by Sage Agasthya and blessed the sage; Sent lavaNasura to heaven through killing of him by his youngest brother Satrugnan; due to the curse of Sahe Dhurvaasa, Rama had to abandon his younger brother Lakshmana; is now so blissfully residing as Sri Rama in Thillai Chithra kootam Divya Desam, and my mind will never ever forget the Lord of Thillai Thiruchitrakootam. Hence no inauspiciousness will befall me. [Lakshmana incident, Sampuka vatham appear in Utthara khaaNdam. Regarding Lakshman's abandonment, Sage and Guru Vasishta advised Rama that he had no choice, since Lakshmana transgressed the promise made to Yama Raja that no one should interrupt his conversation with Rama and those, who did would have to be sacrificed. When Durvasa demanded Lakshmana guarding the gate of the conference chamber and threatened to curse Rama, if he did not see him immediately, Lakshmana broke the rule and interrupted the conversation, fully knowing that he has to be sacrificed. Rama's acute sense of carrying out his Raja Dharma put him under tremendous emotional distress and suffering, But he put his duties as a king first and executed the course of Action without hesitation.] anRusaraa sarangaLaivai kunthath thERRi adalaravap pakaiyERi yasurar thammai venRu,ilangu maNin^edunthOL naan_gum thOnRa viNmuzhuthu methirvaratthan thaamam mEvi senRinithu veeRRiruntha vammaan Rannaith thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL enRumn^inRaa Nnavanivanen REtthi naaLum inRainchuminO veppozhuthum thondeer neerE 10.10 That day- when Sri Rama chose to ascend and go back to Srivaikuntam after His avathAra mission is accomplished, he had taken the entire Ayodhya to His abode. Sri Rama took everything (the Grass, the creeping ant, the living and non-living, everyone and everything, - everything that was moving, everything that was still- all that was born or created by BrahmA- all that existed in His AyOddya,) to the very best of position (mOksham). He rode on the strongest Garuda, and reached His abode with four hands (and Sankhu and ChakrA), being welcomed by one and all in Nithya vibhoothi, displaying the glow explicitly with His Original splendor [ParanjyOthi]. Such SarvEshwaran, Vaikuntha nAthan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan is here at Thillai Chithra kootam divya desam permanently. That very Lord is this Sri Raman of this Divya Desan. That Sri Raman of Ayodhya is this very Lord of Thillai Chithrakootam. Oh Servants of the Lord! Please recognize the archa murthy staying forever to bless you as Vaikunta Naathan at Thillai Thiruchitrakootam and eulogize him and perform Nitya Kaimkaryam to Him and receive His full blessings. thillain^agar_th thiruchchithra koodan^ thannuL thiRalviLangu maaruthiyO tamarnthaan Rannai ellaiyilseer_th thayarathanRan makanaayth thOnRiR Rathumuthalaath thannulagam pukka theeRaa kolliyalum pataitthaanaik koRRa voLvaaL kOzhiyar_kOn kutaikkulasE karansoR seytha nalliyalin thamizhmaalai patthum vallaar nalanthigazhn^aa raNanatikkeezh naNNu vaarE 10.11 About the Lord Sri Ramachandra murthy, who resides eternally in Thillai chithrakootam along with the strong and divine devotee, Hanuman- right from the birth as the son of the greatest King Dasaratha Chakravartthi until his ascention to Srivaikuntam (Paramapadham) to His very jyOthi is all very nicely and chronologically narrated as the very Ramayanam itself by the king Kulaseakara (who holds the sharp spear that sends all his enemy kings to heaven) and those who read these divine ten verses composed in chaste Tamil would surely be blessed to attain the Lotus Feet of EmperumAn Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan in Srivaikuntam.
