1.  EmperumaanE!, the One who has Adhiseshan as Your bed! I have not
performed karma yOgam; Nor have I done any jnAna yOgam; Hence, the bhakti
yOgam, that arises out of these two, is also NOT in me; Even though I have
not taken up these three yOgams, I still, CAN NOT bear being separated rom
You, My dear Lord! I SIMPLY CAN NOT ACCEPT. I can not bear my sufferings
of being away from You.; Oh Lord of SrIvaramangalam!, My dear father! , I,
the one who is to be save me immediately, am never DIFFERENT FROM YOU.
(means, I belong to You always; hence, take me back) (Alavandhaar says in
Stothra rathnam: "na dharmanishtOsma nachatma vEdi/ na bhaktimaan tvach
charaNAravindhE/ akinchanO naanya gathischaraNya/ tvath paadha moolam
sharaNam prapadyE/

"I am not religious; I do not know the nature of soul; Nor do I have any
devotion for Your Holy Lotus Feet; Therefore, I am bereft- bereft of all
good, bereft of any other shelter; Such as I- I, surrender unto Your LOTUS
FEET.- aahA! What a verse!)

3300:
anguRRENn allEn inguRREn allEn* unnaik kaaNum avaavil veezhndhu* naan-
enguRREnum allEn* ilangai seRRa ammaanE*
thingaL sErmaNi maata needu* sireevara mangala nagaruRai*
sangu sakkaraththaay!* thamiyEnukku aruLaayE*.	5.7.2

2.  (PerumAl says:" Ok, Not possible; You can not bear; but there are
still hurdles for me to protect you". For that AzhwAr replies here " To
save SitA piraatti, You cleared so many hurdles effortlessly and saved
Her; Can you not do that to me? - As interpreted by NampiLLai). Oh
EmperumaanE! I have not been there (with the attainment of mOksham and the
enjoyment of Your anubhavam); nor am I here with the complete involvement
on You attributes and beauty; I have lost any capacity, if at I have, to
undertake bhakti yOgam for reaching You, Lord; Oh ammAnE!  The One who
destroyed LankA! SrIvaramangal nayakA!, The One who has ChakrA and shanghu
in His hands! There is none for me except You; Please show mercy on me;
(Periyavaacchaan PiLLai has commented about the first two lines of these
pAsuram "anguRREn allEn inguRREn allEN/ unnaik kaaNum avaavil vIzhndhu/ "
means: I have not gone to where You are and enjoy Your Beauty; nor am I
able to live as one among these samsaaris who have no desire to be near
You, due to my desire and longing to see You; I am not suitable for these
samsaaris who wish to own everything except You; - what a beautiful
interpretation from Periyavacchaan PiLLai)

3301:

theruLkoL naanmaRai vallavar palarvaazh* sireevara mangala_nagarkku*
aruL seydhu angirunNdhaay!* aRiyEn oru kaimmaaRE*.	5.7.3

3.  Oh Vaikunta nAthA! The One who has garudA in His flag! The One who has
the chakrA in His hand! I am not fit for being considered for anything; I
am bereft of any jnAnam; even when such is the case, You have still
considered me as an object and taken me as Your eternal servant; Oh
srIvaramangal naayakA! The place where chaturvEdis, SrIvaishnavaas live!
What can I do to repay You and show my gratitude for that You have done to
me! (There is nothing that I can do at all!)

3302:

thERu NYaanaththar vEtha vELviyaRaach* sireevara mangalanNagar*
ERi veeRRirundhaay!* unnai engeythak koovuvanE?*. 	5.7.4

4.  For those helpless Pancha paaNdavaas, You have marvellously won the
battle against those hundred Kauravaas; You are so great! My Father! The
One who brought the earth back during the Cosmic cycle end! OH
SrIvaramanagal naayakA! You are so merciful and dayAkaran who comes by His
own desire to protect us and save us; There is nothing that we have to do
and make You do! It is all Your mercy alone! Is there any use for any
effort from us (when we are not at all capable of performing any other
means to attain You- like bhakti, jnAna or karma yOgam, How we can call
You to come near us?; You should come by Your self on Your own, help me
and save me with Your grace and mercy )

3302:
eythak koovuthal aavathE enakku?* evva thevvaththu uLaayumaay ninRu*
kai thavangaL seyyum* karumEni ammaanE*
seytha vELviyar vaiyath thEvaraRaach* sireevara mangalanNagar*
kai thozha irundhaay* athu nNaanum kaNtEnE*. 	5.7.5

5.  Is there anything I have to enable You to come to me? It is You, who,
on Your own, has to come; You are Great Dark Maayavan, who is capable of
entering into any group and become one among them to mislead them;  (For
example, You entered into Buddha and enabled them to push themselves  far
away from You with no vaidheeka saastras by misleading them with
nihilistic approach, which is not true! ) That is all for those who do not
believe in You; But can You do that to Your adiyaar like me?  You are
showing Yourself so majestically at SrI varamanghala nagar, where SrI
vaishNavaas, stay there permanently to pay obeisance to You; I too,
prostrate at Your Feet. My Lord!

3304:##
Enamaay nNilam keeNta ennappanE! kaNNaa!* enRum ennai aaLutai*

vaana maamalaiyE!* adiyENn thozha vandharuLE*.(2)	  5.7.6

6.  Oh Varaaha PerumaaLE! The One who brought back the Earth during the
PraLaya kaalam and saved the Earth! Oh Deivanaayaka PerumaanE! The One who
enslaves me at all times and rules me! Oh Bright Emerald Lord! Vaanamaalai
PerumanE! The One who is worshipped by everyone with both their hands at
Srivaramangalam! Please sow mercy and come to save me and make me pay
obeisance to You.

3305:
vandharuLi enneNYchitam goNta* vaanavar kozhundhE!* ulagukkOr-
mundhaith thaaythandhaiyE!* muzhu Ezhulagum uNtaay!*
sendhozhilavar vEtha vELviaRaach* sireevara mangalanNagar*
andhamil pugazhaay!* adiyEnai agaRRElE*.	5.7.7

7.  ( "vandharuLi ennenjidam koNda vaanavar kozhundhE!" starts this
pAsuram. Read it again. The narration about this line by AchAryAs is
simply beautiful and blissful). Oh Chief of NityasUris, Chief of dEvAs!
Such Great ParamAthmA- has SO GRACEFULLY COME HERE AND ENTERED INTO MY
MIND! You are the Primordial Chief and are the Father and Mother of the
Entire Universe! You are The One who protecetd the Seven worlds by keeping
them in Your stomach during the Cosmic cycle ending! You are The
unmatched, eternal,Faultless, Blemishless PeumAL, who is staying at
srIvaramangalnagaram, where Paramaikaanthns ( expecting no fruits for
their eternal kaimkaryam to You), SrIVaishNavaas, recite VedAs and perform
yaaghams! Please show mercy on me and accept my servitude and ceaselessly
enable me to perform kaimkaryam at Your Feet! ("vandharuLi ennenjidam
koNda vaanavar kozhundhE!" (1). Paraasa bhattar used to ask Namjeeyar
always to recite this line and used to join him; He enjoyed this line so
much because of  the sarva sowlabhya nature of the Lord.  SarvEshwaran,
ParamAthmA, Sarva yagnan, Sarva vyApakan, who from SrIvaikuntam, came all
the way to this place where we live; not just that.  AzhwAr also says  "He
has entered into my mind, who is so useless, worthless, who does not have
any jnAnam, bhakti, sincerity, etc., He is such a dayAparan,
ParamakAruNikO Bhagawaan, - He has so mercifully entered into my mind!"
dearest sisters and Brothers, when we ourselves enjoy this line so much
and appreciate, we can imagine how much Bhattar and Namjeeyar, the Parama
bhAgawathAs, Great AchAryAs, would have enjoyed million times more!  (2).
When Aappaan Thiruvazhundhoor araiyar used to sing this pAsuram, he always
gets stuck here in the beauty of the first word "vandharuLi", that he
keeps on repating the same word "vandharuLi, vandharuLi", without being
able to proceed further; - What a Great anubhavam!)

3306:

pugaRgariya endhaay!* puLLin vaay piLandhaanE!*.	  5.7.8

8.  Oh PerumaanE! The One who split the beak of the bird asurA! It appears
You created the five indriyAs only to push aside the people who do not
long to see You and are not Your bhaktAs; At least I have realised that;
But, You have not considered me still; Please do not ignore me also, dear!
It is full of mud and how can I reach the shore from this ocean of
samsaara! It is very difficult and so slippery shore that one always falls
back by getting caught in those five indriyAs! I am scared that You will
push me also into those five indriyAs; I belong to You only; You  The One
who is staying at SrIvaramangalanagar permanently, please do not push me;

3307:

theLLiyaar thiru naanmaRaikaL vallaar* malithaN sireevara mangai*
uL irundha endhaay!* aruLaay uyyumaaRu enakkE*.	   5.7.9

9.  Oh EmperumaanE! The One who killed the asurA, who came in the guise of
bird! You are the One who went in between the two marudha trees and killed
the two asurAs! You are the One who killed the seven oxen! You are KaNNan,
My Maayavan! The Brightest Black Emerald-like Beauty! You are my Father,
who stays at SrIvaramangala nagar! Please make me get saved by You and
enable me perform eternal kaimkaryam to You!

3308:

10.  You have offered me Your Lotus Feet as the Only means for me; There
is no other means; For this Great mercy and dayA of Yours, What can I do
to pay back and How? There is nothing that I can do; Because, I, myself
belong to You only, Ain't I? Oh SrIvaramangalnAyakA! The One who has
ThuLasi maalai on Your head! Oh Lord of all Gods! I can offer only my
jIvan to You as the "Prathi upakaaram";

3309:##

11.  The Chief of all Gods, Sriman Narayanan, Trivikraman- On His
Thiruvadi, The Lotus Feet, SrI SadgOpar, has sung thousand pAsurams; Out
of those 1000 pAsurams, these ten has been sung on Srivaramangai Divya
dEsam; Those who recite them with the knowledge of its meanings, are sure
to be the nectarine people among NityasUris;
