neeraay nilanaay* theeyaayk kaalaay neduvaanaay,*

kooraar aazhi veNsaNGkEndhik* kodiyEnpaal

1. BhagawaanE! You ARE the One who is in the form of Pancha bhUthAs.,
namely., water, Earth, Fire, Air and the vast space. You are the One who
is the Brightest Sun and the Coolest Moon. Is that alone? You are the One
who has become Siva and BrahmA. Such Greatest Lord of mine, for ONE DAY AT
LEAST, for me,  You should show Your unbounded, wonderful, "asaadhaaraNa"
Divine Body and shower mercy on me. You show this cruel sinner, Your Divya
MangaLa thirumEni with the Most Beautiful ChakrA and Sanghu in Your Hands.
You should show me Your Most Beautiful Lotus Feet.  Even if it is NOT for
me, You should at least show Yourself to the ultimate absolute enjoyment
of the Earthly people and DevAs and prove the eternal existence of Your
Nitya VibhUti.

3432:
maNNum viNNum makizhak* kuRaLaay valangaatti,*
maNNum viNNum konda* maaya ammaanE,*
naNNi unainNaan* kandukandhu kooththaada,*
naNNi orunNaaL* NYaalaththootE nadavaayE.	6.9.2

2. BhagawaanE! You are the Wonderful Lord, who appeared as Vaamanan and
showed Your Greatness to the Earth and DevAs, by measuring the entire
Universe in two steps. I want to dance with You and stay besides You.  For
that, You should only come to me. (I don't see You). I, (the One who
considers only seeing You as the ultimate purpose of my life), should
enjoy Your walking in front of me. (You can walk in front of that asuran
MahAbhali, not in front of me, who wants only that. Am I worse than
mahAbhali, KaNNA!)

3433:
NYaalath thootE nadandhum ninRum* kidandhirundhum,*
saalap palanNaaL* ugandhORu uirgaL kaappaanE,*
kOlath thirumaa magaLOtu* unnaik kootaathE,*
saalap palanNaaL* adiyEn innam thaLarvEnO?	6.9.3

3. EmperumaanE! For yugas, ages, time immemorial, You have been protecting
us and saving us by Your walking, Standing, Sitting and lying down at
various Divya sthalams. AT ALL TIMES, You are always with Your Consort
Periya Piraatti MahAlakshmi and show Yourself So Gracefully with Her. For
such DivyaDampati, I have Not been joining Them, and HAVE WASTED years and
years and births and births. Still I am wasting and will I NOT be able to
see You and join You now also and will wither away suffering greatly and
languishing for You, without seeing You?  (nampiLLAi infers that this
pAsuram is "akaaram" of Thirumanthram. It talks about Emperumaan's
Sarvarakshathvam. Sarvarakshathvam is referred when AzhwAr says He
protects everyone and every being. With Periya Piraatti, He shows Himself
and hence is Sriya: Pathih is the Only One to be sought after. - akaaram
of Thirumanthram.- Also, NampiLLai refers this pAsuram to be an
explanation of Artha Panchakam. With Periya Piraatti- MahAlakshmi-
Emperumaan- Brahmam is described. adiyEn denotes jIvAthmA. He protects all
lives- denotes upaayam. To join You and be with You- Palam. Will I wither
away without seeing You at all- denotes VirOdhi swarUpam.- What a great
interpretaion by NampiLLai!)

3434:
thaLarndhum muRindhum* sagada asurar udalvERaa,*
piLandhu veeyath* thirukkaalaanda perumaanE,*
kiLarndhu piraman sivan* inNthiran viNNavarsoozha,*
viLanga orunNaaL* kaaNa vaaraay viNmeethE.	6.9.4

4. BhagawaanE! You appeared as KaNNan, and kicked the sakatAsuran, who
came as a wheel, to kill You, and in the process he got himself kicked by
Your little foot and killed! You showed Your  leg's greatness to the
world! Such Greatest Lord of mine- You are worshipped in Group by BrahmA,
Sivan, Indran and DevAs. You are Their Chief! You should show Yourself in
the sky for me to see You some day at least!

3435:
viNmeedhiruppaay! malaimEl niRpaay!* kadalsErppaay,*
maNmeedhuzhalvaay!* ivaRRuLengum maRaindhu uRaivaay,*
eNMeedhiyanRa puRavandaththaay!* enadhaavi,*
uNmeedhaadi* urukkaattaathE oLippaayO?	6.9.5

5. Oh EmperumaanE! the One who is at ParamaPadham! You are standing at
Tirumala (Tirupati!); You are lying down and having Your YoganithrA on
Milk Ocean (ThiruppaaRkadal); You take various avataars and live with us
in our midst like ordinary being; But, You also live in all beings as an
antharyaami, without being seen; You are beyond comprehension and beyond
one's understanding; You stay in the entire vast universe and protect as
Sarvarakshakan; You also stay in my hear without any gap, uninterruptedly.
In spite of ALL THIS, You ARE HIDING YOURSELF from me without showing Your
form! (AzhwAr, Dearest Sisters and Brothers, in this pAsuram describes all
Emperumaan's states (Param, VyUham, Vivhavam, Archai and Antharyaami)

3436:
paayOr adivaiththu adhan_keezhp* paravai nilamellaam-
thaay,* Or adiyaal* ellaa ulagum thadavandha-
maayOn,* unnaik kaaNpaan* varundhi enainNaaLum,*
theeyOdu udansEr mezhugaay* ulagil thirivEnO?	6.9.6

6. You are a Great Maayavan and appeared as Trivikraman. In one step, You
covered the entire world! In next step, You measured the whole sky,
touching the whole universe with Your Foot! I have been LONGINg to see
Such Greatest You and have been suffering terribly like a wax kept close
to the fire, melting for You. Should I search the WHOLE WORLD looking for
You?

3437:
ulagil thiriyum karuma gathiyaay* ulagamaay,*
ulagukkE Oruyirumaanaay* puRavandaththu,*
alagil polindha* thisai paththaaya aruvEyO,*
alagil polindha* aRivilEnukku aruLaayE.	6.9.7

7. EmperumaanE! You exist as (karmAs) duties that are performed here in
this world and are still unbounded by them; You also exist as those who
perform such karmAs, too. You are the same one who is their respective
AthmAs also; You are the One who directs even the mukthAs, who are there
in all ten directions countlessly (outside this universe). In as much You
exist in the objects that can be seen, You also exist in those formless
(jIv)AthmAs even, as antharyaami. You are so wonderful and Greatest! You
have so much unbounded capacity! When I see my limitless foolishness and
stupid jnAnam, that is also huge; Please do not mind that and don't look
down at me; Please show mercy on me, this lowly self, too!

3438:
aRivilEnukku aruLaay* aRivaaruyir aanaay,*
veRikoL sOthi moorththi!* adiyEn nedumaalE,*
kiRiseythu ennaip puRaththittu* innam keduppaayO,*
piRithonRaRiyaa adiyENn* aavi thigaikkavE?	6.9.8

8. Oh PerumaanE! The One who is the AthmA for jnAnis! You should show Your
mercy on me, who has NO OTHER MEANS FOR ME EXCEPT YOUR GRACE. Oh My Lord!
The One who has limitless, unbounded Divine Beauty and has the Most
Fragrant Divya MagaLa ThirumEni, NATURALLY! (Even though now, I am NOT
able to see You and touch You; You still made me crazee after Your Most
Beautiful ThirumEni, by showing that in Your Divya kshEthrams). I DONOT
HAVE ANY ONE nor ANY MEANS for my redemption. Please DO NOT PUSH me into
other things by Your strategies and mischiefs. Please do not let me go any
where away from the path towards reaching You! Don't leave me!

3439:
aavi thigaikka* aivar kumaikkum siRRinpam,*
paaviyEnaip* palanNee kaattip patuppaayO,*
thaavi vaiyam konda* thadan dhaamaraikatkE,*
koovik koLLum kaalam* innam kuRugaathO?	6.9.9

9. EmperumaanE! Please DO NOT PUSH ME AND LET MY MIND GET CONTAMINATED BY
THE INFLUENCE OF FIVE SENSE ORGANS AND PUSH ME INTO SENSUAL PLEASURES; I
HAVE BEEN BORN TO ENJOY THE GREATEST PLEASURE (of eternal Bliss!) and DO
NOT PUSH ME, END ME AND SATISFY ME WITH JUST LITTLE SENSUAL PLEASURES. For
those BEAUTIFUL LOTUS FEET, HAS THE TIME NOT YET COME CLOSER TO CALL ME
NEAR THEM?  "KoovikkoLLum kaalam innum kuRugaadhO?" (When PiLLaan was in
his death bed, Namjeear was crying ceaselessly with tears rolling down
cheeks; PiLLan said:  "KoovikkoLLum kaalam innum kuRugaadhO?" "NajeeyarE!
Why are you feeling sad? I am going to enjoy the Greatest Pleasure and
Blissful Happiness at His Lotus Feet; Feel happy!- adadaaa! What an
anubhavam! We wish we get that feeling when we are on our death beds!- Let
us pray to Him for such bent of minds now it self!)

3440:
kuRugaa neeLaa* iRuthi kootaa enaiyoozhi,*
siRugaa perugaa* aLavil inpam sErndhaalum,*
maRugaal inRi maayONn* unakkE yaaLaagum,*
siRukaalaththai uRumO* andhO theriyilE?	6.9.10

10. (In this pAsuram, AzhwAr says kaimkaryam is better than even kaivalya
inbham and Athmanubhavam.) BhagawaanE! For me, only serving You as Your
eternal servant is the Greatest and most sought after; Even the
Athmanubhavam, compared to Kaimkaryam is like the sensual pleasure; The
One , by nature never gets reduced or exhausted, never get bigger or
smaller, has the limitless, anubhavam of the AthmA, by nature- that is
kaivlya ainbham- AthmAnubhavam- even that is little pleasure only compared
to eternal kaimkaryam at Your Lotus Feet. I do not want that
AthmAnubhavam. I pray to You only for being an eternal servant at Your
Lotus Feet; Even if it is only for minutest fraction of time, I need that
only. That is the Purushaartham for me. Even that minutest Kaimkaryam that
You allow me to serve You is much greater compared to the unbounded,
limitless, eternal ArthmAnubhavam. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR KAIMKARYAM AT
YOUR LOTUS FEET FOR ME.

3441:
therithal ninaithal* eNNal aagaath thirumaalukku,*
uriya thondar thondar* thondan sadagOpan,*
theriyach chonna* OraayiraththuL ippaththum*
uriya thondaraakkum* ulagam undaaRkE.	6.9.11

11. Bhagawaan, Emperumaan can not be comprehended by any one. By knowing
Him, by mediating on Him, by thinking of Him, one can NOT understand Him
completely. About such Greatest Emperumaan, Sri SadagOpar, the One who is
the servant of servant of servant of Emperumaan, has sung 1000 pAsurams.
Out of those 1000, readers of these ten, will enable them to become
ETERNAL SERVANTS OF EMPAERUMAAN FOE EVER.
