1. Oh Birds! The Ones who have the streamlined beauty in your swift body
and who are so friendly! I, the Greatest sinner (for having left My Lord
and ) am now begging all of you to take my messages. My master KaNNan, the
One who is of dark clouds color and is a blue hued Lord, by His own
thoughts alone, created all worlds in the beginning- Such Lord of mine has
taken away all my good. (I am now feeling bad, hence. He is troubling
me!). Please tell Him my present pitiable state on my behalf.  If you do
that, I will give you both the Golden Paramapadham and the entire Earth.
(How can she give them? because If the bird goes and tells Him, He will
immediately save her; He will become her possession. It is His
Paramapadham and His Earth, which will be hers. Hence, she can give them.
She does not need them, when He is there with her.  - say NampiLLai.)

2. Oh Parrots! Please go to Bhagawaan, on my behalf. He is The One who has
the ChakrA in His hand and the One who has the Most Beautiful red curved
lipped mouth. Please go and tell Him that it is my great desire to hug His
Most Beautiful Divine Body lovingly and express my deep love for Him. If
you help me thus, I will feed you everyday with delicious fruits and milk
and ghee rice, in the middle of my group of beautiful girl friends.

3. Oh flock of bees! Will you all not pour the honey (that you have been
sucking and enjoying from the thuLasi on Bhagawaan's Head) onto the
flowers in my hair?  That KaNNan is the One who drove the massive chariot
in KurukshEthra battle and made the kaurava army pulverize (without even
lifting a weapon). After telling Him my pitiable state, come and pour that
honey.)  (Also this" thoo madhu vaaygaL koNdE" means: Not only honey. Also
the sweet words. i.e by speaking soft sweet words about KaNNan in my hair,
make me happy.)

4. Oh  ThumbhI, the Ones who stay at my mullai flower gardens! When you go
towards that place with your sweet talks, to drink the honey there, please
ask Him on my behalf (as to what is His plan?). I am the mahApaapi, who
has believed His deceitful lies and pretensions. I am so gullible and He
is such a consummate liar! When you all see Him, please go and ask Him "Is
it correct to leave her suffer terribly longing for You and Is it
appropriate to sit here comfortably without even bothering about her
situation? Is that Your nature? is that Your love for her?".  Please ask
Him such questions.

3424:

5. Oh my dear parrots (whom I had brought up)! Come here! Listen to me.
Wherever you fly, when you see my Emperumaan, my beloved lover, ask Him
"is this His nature to leave me like this?". He has stupefied me with His
great ride so smoothly on Periya Thiruvadi (GarudA). Please go and see
such Red lipped beautiful Lord of mine, and ask Him whether it is correct
for Him to be silent in showering His Graceful, merciful glances at this
girl.

6. Oh Poovai paRavaigaLE! (Poovai birds) whom this sinner had brought up!
(look at my state of affairs! when the parents and guardians should enjoy
seeing the Kids grow up, here, on the contrary, I am alone. He is there
and I am asking those whom I had brought up to help me join Him!  Such a
sinner I am!- This is nampiLLai's thaathparyam.) Please go and tell Him
that it is completely improper of Him to leave me in this state. He will
listen to you and also give us thuLasi from His Lotus Feet. He is My KaNNa
perumaaan, the One who wears the brightest pooNool on His dark, huge body.
(nampiLLai again interprets beautifully: by showing the thread "nool" on
His Beautiful body, He has cut asunder the darkness in my mind and enabled
me come in these "nool" (scriptures and books).)

7. Emperumaan KaNNan is of the colour of poovai (kaayaampoo- pArijAtham?)
flowers. He has got lotus like most beautiful eyes. He is the One who has
the intertwining existence in all sentient and non-sentient beings and
non-beings and directs them even. He is the One, KaNNan, who killed the
kesi asurA, who came in the guise of horse, to kill KaNNan. Please go and
tell such Madhusoodhana piraan, My Master, and speak on my behalf what all
I just told you. If you do that,  the sufferings of this sinner will be
removed.

8. Oh kurugu bird! Considering the love of My Emperumaan only as the
refuge and the only means, I have left all other relations and bandhus in
this world. Now being away from the only support, how long should I be
suffering like this? Please have mercy one me kurugu bird! Please speak to
Him on my behalf! Tell My Emperumaan, who has the darkest, faultless,
blemishless, long hairs on His Head,  "This girl has been suffering
tremendously the pangs of separation from You. There is no other refuge
for her except You. She is NOT able to even see any other thing. She has
been awaiting Your cool, merciful glances at her." (here the first word of
this pAsuram "paasaRavaydhi" means: Leaving other relations and bondages
away. Also, there is another meaning: You all get my "pasalai" colour (the
colour of my paleness due to my languishing) and show that to Him.- Wow
what a play of words by AzhwAr!)

9.Oh Crane birds! The Ones who search their preys on the water surface!
There is no help for me, a sinnerand a sufferer, except you. Please go and
see the Chief of NityasUris, My Emperumaan KaNNan, the Cloudy dark hued
coloured Lord of mine and tell Him my situation and this state of my
suffering. Please come and fill my heart with the words that He has spoken
to you in response to your telling Him. Please save me by telling His
words uninterruptedly. Please show mercy on me!

10. Oh Lady swans! Uninterruptedly, without any separation from your male
counterparts and all your relations, you all have been staying and
enjoying in this world. On my behalf, please take pity on me and tell Lord
VishNu, my pitiable state of suffering due to being separated from that
Lord. When that Emperumaan, is having His "special" peaceful time only
with His consort MahAlakshmi, (who is staying in His chest) please grab
that opportunity and tell Him my state. He will listen that time.  (Dear
sisters and brothers, Have you observed? the same opportune time, Sri
RamanujA chose for performing his saraNAgathy at DivyaDamapti's Feet at
Srirangam during sEtthi sevai). Tell Him: This girl has lost her all good
due to being separated from You." and get to know from Him His response.
(here in this pAsuram, there is a line "manthiratthu onRu uNartthi"-
means: when He is alone (with His consort) go and tell Him one thing. that
one thing is being a servant to Him only. This is also the meaning of
"nama" in AshtAksharam. Also, Manthiram is PraNavam. the middle one is
"u"-ukaaram. Here onRu refers to that also. Means: Go and tell that there
is none else to whom we will become servants and explains the
"ananyaarhathai" of the soul.- What an AzhwAr! How deep are his words! How
deep is her love!)

11. Thirukkurugoor is a place where it is filled entirely with gardens of
most fragrant flowers. There Sri SadagOpar was born and he composed 1000
pAsurams on Madhsoodhanan Emperumaan and His guNAs. Out of those 1000,
readers of these ten pAsurams, will be like the fertile sands (of smallest
size of about 75 microns?) in fountains of water that get dissolved in
such waters. Similarly, they will have hearts immersing themselves in
Lord's kalyANa guNAs and melt and dissolve in those anubhavams and
beauties. (The palasruthi: read these ten. You will lose your self in
Emperumaan's kalyANa gunAs and ThirumEni sowndharyam.)
