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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Even the Nityasuris
can not match those who are blessed to enjoy seeing
Him at this Divya Desam.

The One who killed Viraadhan [who had the strong
shoduers that would effortlessly conquer the enemies],
got the blessed bow from the great Sage Agastya, who
[along with Lakshmana] cut the nose of deer eyed
SoorpaNakai; who won against Kara, dhooshanas [14000
men army] victoriously; who sent the arrow through the
body of Mareechan who came in guise of the golden deer
and killed him;- is now here at Thillai
Chithratkootam. 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).

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. I stand
here paying my humble obeisance at the lotus feet of
ardent devotees of Sri Ramachandra murthy at this
Divya Desam.

Sending the arrow to the large deep noisy ocean and
organized for building a bridge made of mountainous
rocks, and crossed the ocean with the help of that
rocky bridge to reach lankA; killing the asuras, the
armies along with their king Ravanan effortlessly in
lankA; made his younger brother VibheeshaNan the king;
along with the Sri Mahalakshmi, SitA PiraaTTi and
gracefully show Himself at Thillai Chitra kootam, full
of all kinds of wealth. I do not consider any kingdom
superior to the one of having the lotus feet of the
Lord of Tillai Thiruchitrakootam on my head.

Reaching back his place of Ayodhya, full of tall and
huge buildings made of impregnated gem stones and
golden plates and became the unparalleled King of
Ayodhya; listening to the old stories of Ravanan from
Sage Agastya; heard His own story from the coral
mouths of his two sons Lava and Kusa [born from SitA
of the most auspicious Mythila], this most beautiful
Lord is here 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.

[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.]

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.

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. 

The entire tenth Thirumozhi on Thillai
ThirucchithirakUtam is a summary of Srimadh
RaamaayaNam and here the AzhwAr salutes the heroic
acts of VeerarAghavan (Paasuram 2 : TatakA vathm ;
Paasuram 3: ParasurAma Garva Bhangam; Paasuram 5 :
VirAtha Vatham ; pasuram 6: Vaali vatham;
Paasuram 7 : RaavaNa Vatham ; paasuram 9: Sampuka
vatham taking place in the Uttara KhAndham).
