SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

kulanNdhaanetthanaiyum
piRanNdhEyiRanNdheytthozhinNdhEn,
nNalanNdhaanonRumilEn nNalladhOraRamseydhumilEn,
nNilamthOynNeeLmugilsEr neRiyaarthiruvEngkadavaa!,
alanNdhEnvanNdhadainNdhEn adiyEnaiyaatkoNdaruLE.   
1.9.4

Oh Lord of ThiruvEmkatam, where dark, big clouds land
to relax on the earth! I have been born in all bodies
(in various births), died very many times, and not
performed any good deed at all in any of my previous
births (otherwise I would not have been suffering here
in this samsaaram!); I have been under lots and lots
of sufferings and sorrows; and now adiyEn has reached
You here and held You as the only refuge. Please save
me and take me over to You as Your eternal servant. 

Similar is echoed in NammAzhwAr PAsuram:

maaRi maaRip pala piRappum piRandhu adiyai adaindhu
uLLam thERi/
eeru il inbatthu iru veLLam yaan mmozhginEn/
paaRip paaRi asurar tham pal kuzhAngaL neeRu ezha paai
paRavai onRu/
yERi veeRRiRundhAi unnai ennuL neekkEl enthAi/(2.6.8)

"From one to another, I have been undergoing various
births; and finally I have attained Your feet and my
mind has become crystal clear; I am fully floodded
with Great Blissful ocean of Happiness; You jumped
immediately, boarded and sat on GarudA and killed the
groups and groups of asurAs; My pithA! Please do NOT
separate Yourself from my mind."

Punarappi Maranam Punarappi Jananam" the cycle of life
and death continues.  The jeevatma does papam or
punyam in this world and undergoes the svarga vaasam
or Naraga vaasam and then comes back to the world with
the vaasanas of the previous birth. Vedantha also says
"GathA Gatham Kaama kaamA labhanthe. Thus the
jeevatmas do punyam or papam in this world, both of
which will ultimately bring them back to this world
only. 

All this is mentioned by commentators for us to
increase our Vairakhyam [detachment]. Only when we get
little detached from this world we can think about the
other world (Bhagavaan and Bhagavat vishayam). [this
paragraph is the extract from Smt Sumithra
Varadarajan?s brilliant post on Thirumalai pasuram]
