1.  The Most Beautiful Red-Lotus eyed Lord, My Emperumaan,
saved and protected the seven worlds from danger during the end of cosmic
cycle. He ate them and retained them in a corner of His stomach. Then, He
enabled them to be created later. He also enabled all beings and non-beings.,
namely, the earth, the worlds, the dEvAs, Human beings, the plants, insects,
animals, and so on to come to liveliness in their entirety. He also lived in
all of them, while He chose also to stay at Parama padham like a swayam jOthi.
He is the One who is in BrahmA and Sivan as an antharyaami and enabled them to
discharge their duties of creating and destroying respectively.  (You may
wonder as to why AzhwAr wished to talk about His sowlabhya nature but narrating
His parathvam on the contrary; But the fact is AzhwAr desires to praise His
parathvam first and then talks about the sowlabhyam which will only add to His
Great qualities. (If param lowers Himself, it becomes an additional kalyANa
guNA))

3069:

dhEva dhEvanaith thennilangai*  eriyezacceRRa villiyai,*
paava naasanaip pangayatthadaNG  kaNNaNnaip* paravuminO.	3.6.2

 2.  Emperumaan is the cause and antharyaami of Brahman, Sivan and Indranwho
are the trio of dEvAs. He is the Chief of dEvAs; He took care of them, forgave
their sins and removed their sins, too. He is the One who is having His yOga
nidhrA on the Milk Ocean (ThiruppARkadal). He, the Chief of NityasUris, is the
One who destroyed the Lankai and kileed rAvaNA. He is Sri Raman. Please
prostrate at His Lotus feet and pay obeisance to Him whi can remove all OUR
SINS.

3070:

iravum nanpagalum vidaathu* enRum  Etthuthal manam vaimminO.	3.6.3

3.  He, the Chief of NityasUris , is KANNAN, who danced with the pot on His
head. (kudakkootthu adiyavan). He is the Most Beautiful and the most
illustrious Kannan. He sleeps on the AdhisEshA in ThiruppARkadal. Please think
of such GREAT LORD during all days and nights and praise Him.

3071:

thammai yaaLum avanum* naanmugaNnum sadaimudi aNNalum,*

4.  If I, the lowly self, ask you top pray the Lord and praise His Most
Auspicious kalyANa guNAs, will it do good to Him, by any way? No. It will
DEFINITELY not. I am an ordinary being. But, beware! Even Sivan, BrahmA and
Indran -such Great dEvAs are praising Him and His guNAs- that is SOMETHING and
it must be true that HE IS THE CHIEF. What a Great Lord is HE! (What a Great
anubhavam of AzhwAr! Enna humility!)

3072:
thiriyum KaaRROdu akalvisumbu*  thiNintha maNkidanNtha kadal,*
eriyum theeYOdu irusudar dheyvam,*  maRRum maRRum muRRumaay,*
kariya mEniyan seyya thaamaraik  kaNNan* kaNNan viNNOriRai,*
suriyum palkaruNGkunci* engaL  sudarmudiyaNNal thORRamE.	3.6.5

5.  The Lord, KrishNan, the one who took avathaaram for us, is the Most
Beautiful dark, Handsome Lord. He has got the Most Loveliest Red Lotussed eyes.
He is the Swami of NityasUris. He has got the Lovely dark, curly tresses and
the lustrous shining Golden crown (  kireetam ) on the top.  One can see His
form in the expanded blue sky / space, in the Gentle breeze, the surrounded
Big, Blue  Oceans and the red, shining Fires; He can be seen as the Gods
(deivams), human beings, animals, insects, plants, etc., All is He. (Dear,
AzhwAr gives the essence of VishitAdvaitham here. Let us be blessed by the
vision of such Lord among all that we see; among all and among us. I wish we
could do that;- May azhwar bless us with that Divine katAkasham)

3073:

naaRRath thORRac suvaiyoli* _uRalaagi ninRa,*
em vaanavar ERRaiyEyanRi* maRRoruvarai  yaanilEn ezumaikkumE.	3.6.6

6.  Emperumaan does not have creation for Him or death for Him. But, He has all
in Him that undergoes the births and deaths. He does NOT have kaRmA and their
impact on Him. He came as the Most Ferocious Lion-man (Lord NrsimhA) and saved
PrahlAda from HiraNyakasipu. PrahlAda caught hold of Him at His Feet when He
appeared and killed with such ferocity. (I remember seeing Sri Mukkur Laksmi
NarasimhachAriar during his performance of yaagham at Srirangam, used to get
into trance often and used to walk up and down with the head held high and his
mouth a bit open showing his teeth, reddy eyes wide open, roaring like a lion,
and used to even throw the flowers, the mud, the fruit or the rice, or
whatsoever at the devotees who thronged to see him- It used to be really a goos
pimple, hair-raising ecperience to see the swami in NrsimhA form. In fact he
weighs also quite heavy and the way he walks (rather gallops up and down) is
just like a Lion. ) Great BhAgawathA!). He is the One who is in all tastes,
forms, smell, sounds, and essences. There is NO God for me except Him. As long
as time remains, He is my Lord and the parathvam.

3074:
ezumaikkum enathaavikku* innamuthaththiNnai enathaaruyir,*
kezumiya gathirc sOthiyai* maNi  vaNNaNnaik kudakkootthanai,*
vizumiya amarar munivar vizungum* kannaR kaniyinai,*
thozumin thooya maNnattharaay* iRaiyum_nillaa thuyarangaLE.	3.6.7

7.  My bhagawaan, My Lord of Athman, is the sweetest nectar for me; He is the
Most shining ray of light for me and has mixed with me and with my Athman. He
is the Blue hued MANickkam and He is KaNNan. He is the Sugarcane for the
NityasUris who enjoy Him with their anubhavams. He is the most tastiest ripened
fruit; If you worship Him with a -pure heart and mind, then sorrows and ills
will run away form you.

3075:
thuyaramE tharu thunba inba  vinaikaLaay* avai allanaay,*
uyara ninRathOr sOthiyaay* ulakEzhum uNdumiznNthaan thannai,*
ayara vaangu naman _dhamarkku* aru  nanciNnai accuthan_dhannai,*
thayarathaRku makan_dhannai anRi*  maRRilEn thancamaagavE.	3.6.8

8.  He is the One who is the cause and the Chief of all beings; But He does not
get himself caught in the karmAs of these beings; He is beyond the prakrti
maNdalam and is the form of Most illustriuos shining light; He ate and spat the
seven worlds; When His bhAgawathALs are about to lose their consciousness and
are in their deathbeds, (even when they are not able to think of Him at that
time), He terrifies  and scares the yamadhUthAs away form His devotees. He
becomes the visham (poison) for the yamadhUthAs. He is The One, who never
deserts His bhakthAs at anytime, and is the One who took the avathaaram as Sri
RAMA, the son of dasaratha chakravarthy. There is NO REFUGE for me, but the
LOTUS FEET of the son of dasarathA,( the Chakravarthy Thirumagan.)

3076:
thanca maagiya thanthai thaayodu*  thaanumaay avai allanaay,*
encalil amarar kulamudhal*  moovar thammuLLum aathiyai,*
anci neerulakatthuLLeergaL!*  avan ivanenRu koozEnmin,*
nenciNnaal _ninaippaan yavan* avan  aagum neeLkadal vaNNanE.	3.6.9

 9.  He is the One who is the refuge for me and is the Mother and Father for
me. He is the same one acting as both my father and the mother as well. He is
the same one who is everything else too; he is unbounded pErAnandham (bliss)
and the Greatest bhagawath anubhavam for NityasUris; He is the prime cause of
all and is the Chief of the trio (BrahmA , Sivan and Indran). Oh Guys! Please
do not fear thinking of such Greatness,the primordial nature of His and the
complex, incomprehensible kalyANa guNAs. He will take the Most Loveable, simple
Beautiful form in which you want Him to come and you think of Him. He will
bless us in that form. Hence, pray to Him, the Blue Hued, the dark-sea coloured
Lord Sriman Narayanan.

3077:

adavarum padai manga* aivarkat  kaaki vencamatthu,* anRuthEr

10.  NityasUris' dark Blue hued Emerald,(karu MANickkam), is my KaNNan. He is
the paranchudar, who is having the yOganithrA on the AdhisEshan in
ThiruppaRkadal (Milk Ocean). He made the Five pANdavaAs fight the war and kill
the hundred duryOdhanAs. He, by Himself drove the chariot of Arjun as the
sArathy. When will my eyes be able to see the Lotus Feet of that pArthasarathy?

3078:##

11.  Bhawawaan, My Emperumaan is the Most Difficult to be seen by our physical
eyes. He is the One who showers grace on His devotees on the Earth. About such
Greatest Lord, Sriman Narayanan, Thirukkurugoor SadagOpan composed 1000
pAsurams. Out of these 1000, if you read these TEN pAsurams (or their
meanings), you WILL BECOME HIS BHAKTHAS AUTOMATICALLY.
