Sixth Paasuram 
***************
Talai mElE tALINaihaL thAmaraikkaNN yennAmmAn
nilai pErAn yennenjatthu yeppozhuthum YemperumAn
mAlaimadattharavaNai mEl VaattARRAn , madha mikka
kolai yAnai maruppositthAn kurai kazhalkaL kuruhinamE

My Lord has not only placed His sacred feet on
my head but this Lord of VaattARu has migled and stays with 
all my karmEndhriyams and Jn~AnEndhriyams. He has united 
His lotus red eyes with my eyes and facilitats me to 
view the ArchirAdhi maargam. He gives me courage by 
staying steadily in my mind forever. He lets me hear 
the SunAdham of His ankle bells , which rang during 
the occasion of His destruction of the royal elephant of
KuvAlayapeetam at Kamsan's court.Thus , He is united with 
every one of my indhriyams with affection and celebrates 
that aanandhAnubhavam. 

In this Paasuram , the choice of words " Maalai MaadattharavaNai
mEl VaattARRAn " describes step by step the beauty of the Temple
of Adhi Kesavan and the beauty of Adhi Seshan on whom the Sundara
Purushan , Adhi Kesavan is reclining .

Seventh Paasuram
*****************
kuraikazhalkaL kuRuhinam nangOvindhan kudi koNDAn
thiraikuzhuvu kadl puDaisoozh tennAttut-tilathamanna
varaikuzhuvum maNimAda VaattARRAn malaradimEl
viraikuzhuvum naRumtuLavam meyninRu kamazhumE

The sunAdham of ankle bells of the Lord continues to 
resound in adiyEn's ears. It is clear that He is rushing 
towards me. Our Govindhan has now arrived and occupied with
His family adiyEn's mind and made it His residence. 
The fragrance of the TuLasi garlands of that Sarvagandhan 
shining as the Tilakam for the southern direction has
entered in to my body and is spreading that TuLasi fragrance
all around.adiyEn has attained the samslEsha BhAgaym
(union with my Lord) at all levels .

Eighth Paasuram
****************
meyninRu kamazhtuLava virayERu Thirumudiyan
kaininRa chakkaratthan karuthumidam poruthu punal
maininRa varai pOlum Thiruvuruva VaattARARkku 
yennanRi seythaEnA yennenjil thihashvathuvE?

adiyEn is "seelamillA siRiyOn". How did this visEsha
anugraham of samslEsham with the Lord happen? adiyEn
does not know how to account for this great blessing of
the Lord for this magnificent act of His. What kind of
help can adiyEn give to this great Lord , who rushes 
everywhere for protecting His bhakth janams with chakram 
on hand and His TuLasi fragrance preceding Him? adiyEn
does not know the reason for this mahA bhAgyam enjoyed 
by me.He stays with His well-implanted feet in my mind.
What a singular honor it is for Him to choose my mind as
His abode with His grandeur, loftiness and soundharyam!

Ninth Paasuram:
****************
Thihazhinra thirumArbil Thirmangai tannOdum
Thihazhinra ThirumAlAr sErvidam taNN VaattARu
puhazhninRa puLLUrthi pErarakkar kulam kedutthAn
ihazhvinRi yennenjattheppozhuthum piriyAnE

It is not that the Lord of ThiruvAttARu alone took up
residence in my heart but He came with His dear Lady,
who is the cuase of His Isvayam. She is perenially present 
in His heart.He asked His AravindhappAvai (lotus lady)
to be with Him .

THis Lord of ThiruvAttARu is the YajamAnan of the valorous
bird , Garudan, who destroys the Lord's enemies. He came
with Garudan also and occupied my nenju. My Lord did not
reject my nenju as an inappropriate place for His residence.
He entered and stays there as though He can not sustain His
existence without this mind of mine!

Tenth Paasuram
***************
piriyAthAtccheyyenRu piRappaRutthAL aRakkoNDAn
AriyAhi IraNiyanai aaham koNDan anRu
periyArkkAtpattakkAl peRAtha payan peRumARu
varivAL vaay aravanai mEl vAATTarraN KAATTINaNe

That Lord saluted as "VedAhamEtham Purusham mahAntham" 
by the VedAs blesses all those , who seek His refuge
and elevates them. Oh People! Please seek Him , perform
SaraNAgathi unto Him and be blessed with all boons !
The Lord of ThiruvAttARu has united with me forever and
has commanded me to perform Kaimkaryams for Him .He reminded
adiyEn of the ChaandhOgya Vaakyams:

"Sa khalvEvam varthayan yAvadhAyusham BrahmalOkam 
abhisampadhyathE na cha punarAvarthathE , na cha
punarAvarthathE"

Not once but twice , He repeated that those who have
attained His Supreme abode does not return to this
samsAric world again. 

My Lord of ThiruvAttARu proved His words uttered in
His Upadesam to ArjunA in Geethai in my case :

maamupEthya Punarjanma dukhAlayam asAsvatham
nApnuvanthi mahAthmana: samsiddhim parmAm gathA:
aabrahmabhuvanAllOkA: punarAvarthinOrjuna
maamupEthya thu KounthEya punarjanmA na vidhyathE

--SrImath Bhagavath Geethai: 8.15-16

Those who performed saraNAgathi unto Me will never
ever return to this ocean of misery, this SamsAra
MaNDalam. They wont have anymore births and deaths
hereafter.They will stay at My supreme abode performing
kaimkaryams to Me and enjoy that permanent bliss.

Swamy NammAzhwAr says here that the Lord has taught 
him ananyArha sEshathvam ( unalloyed devotion to Him 
as His sEshan ).He made me the recipient of the great
honor and undreamable fruits . This most generous act
of His is appropriate for His greatness and ParamOdhara
attribute. He has driven away my internal and external
enemies. He has taught the lesson of NrusimhAvatharam 
to me and endeared me to Him as the MahA Purushan , who
comes to the rescue of those like PrahlAdhan seeking
His protection.He never lets them down.adiyEn does not
deserve this honor. adiyEn did not do anything to earn it.
Perhaps ,He is honoring me for the Vaachaka kaimkaryam
of singing the Paasurams of ThiruvAimozhi!

Eleventh Paasuram
******************
kAttit-tann kanai-kazhalkaL kadunaraham puhalozhittha
VaattARRemperumAnai vaLam KuruhUr SaThakOpan
pAttAya Tamizh maalai aayiratthuLL ipatthum
kEttu , aarAr vaanavarkaL sevikkiniya senjcchollE

My Lord of ThiruvAttARu blessed me to enjoy His
Dhivya MangaLa vigraham. He showed me His nectarine 
ThiruvadikaL and enabled me to hear the sweet sounding
ankle bells associated with them.He freed me from the SamsAra 
Dukkhams. These ten paasurams about the Lord of ThiruvAttARu
are sweet to hear and sing and have depths of meanings. 
Even the Nithyasooris would be thrilled to hear just
one of these paasurams.Once they hear one , they may long 
to hear more since they could not contain themselves.
Nanjeeyar commented that the Nithyasooris would enhance 
their kaimkaryams to their Lord after hearing these 
ten Paasurams and will become "Vithrushnars".

May we recite these ThiruvAttARu Paasrurams of
SaThakOpan , which will confer on us the MahA 
Isvaryam of Nithya Kaimkaryam to the Dhivya Dampathis
at their Supreme abode !
