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 .
