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.
