Emperumaan is sowlabhyan (simple) for His bhakthAs; For others He is a real rarity
and is capable of achieving both such contradicting natures at the same time; The
emperumaan a rarity- the one who is the beloved of Sri Mahalakshmi sitting on
the Lotus- is so SIMPLE and SOWLABHYAN to get tied down to "ural" close to his
chest innocently for His stealing butter(veNNai) which YasOdhA (His mother) had
churned; What a GREAT SOWLABHYAN He is and How simple He is!
(I am not saying; AzhwAr says!)

Emperumaan has got such sowlabhya GuNA as His nature; He has taken "avataarams"
which can not be categorized as one type or one trend/nature; He is enriched with
bright nature and has ALL kalyANa gunas which have no beginning and no end; He is
equipped with the capacity of granting mOksha Gnanam at all times;- Such a GREAT
merciful Lord, stays at the BhagavatOttamALs' Hearts willingly at all times and is
NOT AT ALL APPROACHABLE for those who do not have bhakti for Him."

Equipped with such Great dharma (virtues) which are not inferior to any other dharma-
such all time Greats who possess the duty to create, destroy etc., like brahma, sivan,
and all other dEvAs, all chEtanAs (sentinents) and achEtanAs (non-sentinents); The One
who has become one and all and becomes all by Himself; Who knows the "avataara rahasyam"
(secret and concept of His avataars)?- Absolutely NO ONE KNOWS.

My Emperumaan- Even a Great Gnani can not say firmly that He has one nature; At the
same time Even a fool (like me!) can easily say He is of this form and nature;
such a simple Lord; The names the forms are so many thousands for Him; "He does
not have one name and one form". claims many who do not love Him most; "Not that;
He is of this name and form only"- claims those who are His bhakthAs- and their
arguments will continue for ever and ever"

Emperumaan gave us the vEdhas and their ways; He is full of kalyANa guNAs; He is the
primordial Lord who has no end; He is equipped with beautiful Great GnAnam; - Follow
the respected Bhakti way for Him and leave all "other" ways; Realise the Gnanam which
He has granted us; and get rid of the poorva vaasanAs (praaraptha karmaas).

Think; Think and try to find out; the one which spans everywhere and is in every being
- the Athmaa- Even if you get to know the nature of this athmaa through your ears;
your eyes; your minds, you can not get to know the nature of sarvEswaran. In spite
of that, Oh People!, Thirumaal, Brahman, Sivan- Think of them always and try to express
in many ways and concentrate on THE ONE whom you think as "sarvEswaran" whom you are
able to appreciate wholeheartedly; Keep talking about His glories again and again and
prostrate to Him" (Wait, sisters and brothers, Go to the next pAsuram where AzhwAr
has given his verdict on who the "sarvEswaran" is).

The Supreme God is one and He is incomprehensible for all; He is equipped with Great
kalyANa guNAs; Think and analyse of the three NarayaNan, Brahman and Sivan without
getting attached to any of them; Think of Their nature, Their attributes and guNAs,
and Their capacities; compare Their attributes and Their capacities; - remove your
iswara bhuddhi on two of them and concentrate on the Only One, Sriman NarayaNan and
offer your bhakti to only Him for the Rest of your Life fully saying "this is the
only useful action that I can do".

If you remove the dirt of considering all three of them are equal, - consider logically
and purify your mind by praying and prostrating to the Lotus Feet of emperumaan who is
the Lord of Sri Mahalakshmi, then, the worst grandest, deadliest old sins that have been
accrued over the ages for so many births will go away immediately; Then you will have
no grievances; Then even when you are on your death bed, you will think of Him.

The Great creator Brahma along with his world stayed in His "naabhi" (navel); Sivan
stays at His right side; To become more explicit He Himself entered as an avataar in
His own world which He created; If we try to say all this, He takes everything in His
stomach at the end of cosmic cycle (praLaya kaalam). Such actions of His make us
wonderstuck and awestruck."

Emperumaan, the One who can make even the dEvAs (who are equipped with gnAnam) awestruck
with His Great leelaas and mischief in His avataars; the One who is black and blue hued
like a dark cloud; - I can not forget His Lotus Feet which measured the Earth effortlessly;
I will hug and embrace Those Lotus Feet. I will not attach myself to any "other" thing and
meditate only on His Lotus Feet and pay obeisance to Him.

Those who learn and recite these ten pAsurams of the sweetest 1000 pAsurams (of NammAzhwAr
who was born in Thirukkurugoor) which talk about the Greatness of Emperumaan who churned
the Milky Ocean for the upliftment of dEvAs, will definitely get paramapadham along with
dEvAs and get rid of the imprisonment of "this Birth". ( It is certain that we get such
a parampadham for having read azhwAr's this ten, dear ones!)
