Sri:
SrimathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,
When AzhwAr paid his obeisance to the divya mangaLa
vigraham that He did not actually and physically see
and enjoy, the Lord shows Himself to AzhwAr the same
moorthy in ThirukkOviloor and AzhwAr enjoys Him in
this divya desam and bursts out herein divinely in
this verse.
alampurindha nedundhadakkai amarar vEndhan
anciRaippuL thanippaagan avuNark kenRum,
salampurinthaNG karuLillaath thanmai yaaLan
thaanugandha voorellaam thanthaaL paadi,
nilamparandhu varumkaluzip peNNai yeertha
neduvEygaL padumuttha mundha vundhi,
pulamparandha ponviLaikkum poygai vElip
poongOva loorthozhudhum pOthu nencE! 6
alam purindha ? [it is enough ? one would say] thus He
holds His hand, in His divine body;
nedu thada ? long, broad
kaiyan ? handed Lord;
amarar vEndhan ? Deva Devan; Chief of Nithyasuris;
am siRai puL thani pagan ? the most beautiful
feathered Garuda Pakshi (Bird)?s One and Only Master,
Our Swami;
avuNarkku enRum- For asurAs, rakshasas ? always
salam purindhu aruL illA ? He never shows mercy on
them; angers on them for their apacharams to His
devotees;
thanmai Alan ? such great natured Trivikraman;
thaan ugandha ? On His own desire and accord;
oor ellAm ? where He shows Himself so gracefully in
all divya desams
(thanmaiyALan) than ? on [such above mentioned[
perumAL;
thaaL paadi ? praising and singing His Lotus Feet
nenjE- oh my mind! You
nilam parandhu ? expands all over the land and runs
varum kaluzhi peNNai ? such turbulent flodded PeNNai
river
eerttha VEygaL padu muttham ? the pearls that come out
of bamboos that are plucked out by the river current;
undha undhi- are brushed aside by the river (and by
the people (as they are not interested in pearls))
pulam parandhu ? found and expanded, spread out
everywhere;
pon viLaikkum ? the gold itself spurts out as the
grain in these fields;
poygai vEli poo kovaloor ? Thirukkovaloor surrounded
by most beautiful watery fields
thozhuthum ? Let us prostrate
poadhu ? Come (oh mind!)
In last verse- AzhwAr was talking great about
Maabhali; now VishNu is the vaLLal? benevolent One;
When Lord asked; Bhali could not even fulfill the
three measures of earth; The last one could not be
given and hence he lowered his head in shame for being
unable. Whereas, the bhakthas tell VishNu ? It is
enough; the Lord grants so much to them and continue
to give them? engum thiruvarul petru inbuRuvar.. petra
thaayinum aayina seyyum?
He is such a vaLLal.
Nedunkai- long handed One- even if someone is very
far; even if someone yells for Him from afar; He would
extend His hand and save (Remember Draupadi). He has
such a long and broad hand, one show of His hand is
enough for us for eternity. No need for second time?
Also one need not have to go to others for help;
Enough. He alone is enough.
Amarar vEndhan ? They asked; Devas, BrahmA ? et al-
they went and asked and begged Him for saving them.
Also those who do not ask for anything else ?
Nithyasuris- virakthars ? for them also He is the lord
and grants them everything.. [neeL selvam vENdAthAn
thannaiyE thaan vENdum selvam] ? such a long handed
One;
amsiRai- For protecting the sAdhus, and for removing
the enemies, the ever ready Divine Bird Garuda extends
his feathers; the one who is never ever for others;
Only for Him and Mahalakshmi alone
Angry on asurAs always- for their apcharams to his
devotees.
kshipAmyajasram asubhAn aasoorishvEva yOnishu ?
paadi ? can be mixed with thozhudhum ? everywhere let
us enjoy singing in praise of Him and prostrate at His
Lotus Feet.
OR
oh mind, the one who kept singing in praise of Him
everywhere ? let us go to Thirukkoviloor now sing in
praise of Him as well.
Poygai vEli- Not only does this refer to the fertile
fields; also the place reverberated with Poygai Bho,
Peyazhwar?s verses.. such a great divya desam.
