1. Oh MaayaavanE (The Mysterious Lord!) The One who has the Big Moola
Prakritti itself as Your Body! The One who is praised even by Nitya sUris!
The One who has all three worlds in Your possession! My master! My dear!
My Father! My Sweet Nectar! Why do You have to still make me suffer from
these five sense organs that are contained in me. Why do You make me lose
myself to these sense organs? The One who is supposed to rule me and take
me - You Yourself ARE PUSHING ME INTO THESE SUFFERINGS. (You Too, Lord!)

3454:

2. BhagawaanE! You are sweet in all respects. You are so tasty like the
sugar cane! You are the Nectar to conquer Death! (Births and Deaths!) Oh
Lord of Dark Cloud Colour! The One who protects and saves this world,
surrounded by Oceans! (with Your Most Strongest, Most shining ChakrAudham!
You, who can be comprehended and understood through VedAs, is NOT at all
visible to me, the Greatest sinner , lowly self. Can You let me be ruled
by these most cruel five sense organs, that are housed in my body? How can
You let me serve these senses day and night? Can You leave me, who is Your
ETERNAL servant, to serve these sense organs? Can I be trapped like this
and let me NOT reach Your Lotus Feet? You SHOLUD SIMPLY BRUSH ASIDE
EFFORTLESSLY the ruling of my senses and show me Your Beautiful face. On
the Contrary, YOU ARE IGNORING ME AND ABANDONING ME THROUGH MY SENSE
ORGANS. (Is it correct, Lord?)

3455:

3. My Dearest Lord! You are the Cause and Creator for all worlds! You are
the One who protected by eating and then bringing the universe out during
the Cosmic Cycle. You are THE One who measure the entire Universe with
Your Feet, as Trivikraman. You are the One who brought back the world
during Your Varaaha avataar. You are so great and so capable beyond one's
comprehension. You are so Beautiful and have shining Crown on Your Head.
Like You killed Madhu kaitapar (asurAs), Please destroy my sense organs
and occupy me (the One born to serve You only) to serve You for ever.
These five senses are praising me and enticing me to seve them, make me
suffer and DO NOT let me reach Your Feet. WHAT IS THE USE FOR YOU BY
STOPPING ME REACH THE ABODE OF YOUR LOTUS FEET, BY KEEPING THOSE CRUEL
SENSE ORGANS IN ME? Can You afford to see the DESTRUCTION of SWAROOPAM (my
nature of being an eternal servant of Yours)? (BUT IF YOU CONSIDER THAT BY
LETTING THESE FIVE SENSES OCCUPY ME AND TRUBLE ME IS USEFUL TO YOU IN SOME
RESPECTS, THEN I AM DELGHTED TO UNDERGO THE SAME.)

3456:

4. OH Lord! You are the medicine for my great and enormous sins that this
mahApaapi has committed. You are the one who (long ago) having devoured
the seven worlds, was seen (by the Sage MarkandEya and found to be )lying
on the leaf of a great banyan tree as (an exquisite) Child, incomparable.
You have kept those five senses in me and without my knowledge, let me be
completely conquered by these senses. By pushing me in those senses, and
showing me to them, You have made Yourself, completely unseen by my eyes.
(Even if You are with me always, I will NOT bother to be conquered by
these senses. But You have pushed me from behind and You disappeared.)

3457:

5. EmperumaanE, The One who destroyed the entire asurA kingdom with Your
Most strongest ChakrAyudham! Oh Chief of Nitya suris! WHY DID YOU LET ME
BE POSSESSED BY THESE SENSE ORGANS? If there is any other punishment give
that. (Please do not push me into this deep well). Why did YOU SIMPLY
ABNDON me by pushing me into these sufferings from five sense organs?
THERE IS NO ONE (A BETTER medicine than You) who can alleviate this
suffering except You. IS THERE ANY ONE? TELL ME. ("aar marundhu ini
aaghuvaar?") Who else if the Rakshakan?

3458:

6. OH Grandest Lord! ParavaasudEvA! DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIBLE ARE THE CRUEL
ACTIONS OF FIVE SENSE ORGANS?  Right from GarudA, down to the insects and
unicellular organisms, EVERYONE is influenced and conquered by these
cruel, terrible sense organs. NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. (How true!- AzhwAr,
dearest sisters and brothers, was NOT at all suffering from these sense
organs, right from his birth. He writes, only ON OUR BEHALF. They are so
naturally applicable to us.). When such is the case, even for the DevAs,
and NityasUris, how can it leave me, the one who is born in this material,
earthly world? EVEN IF YOU, YOU TOO, feed me to these five sense organs,
who else can help me, my Lord, hereafter? Oh Lord of Divine "naadham"
music! (can You not hear the sound of my cries?) Oh Lord, who lives in the
poems! (can You NOT hear my words of suffering?) Oh Lord, who lives in
Bhakti! (can You not hear my lamenting and longing to be with You?) Is
there anything that You CAN NOT do? ARE YOT THE SUPREME LORD? You are the
One who is the only interesting matter for my inner eyes and the external
(physical) eyes, as well. Hence, You should show Yourself and be the
subject matter for my eyes. You are the ONE WHO IS IN MY HEART AND IN MY
WORDS. Please come and tell me a word for me to hear Your words through my
ears and get rid of my sufferings. (Please let me come back to "real
life!"- " In Hindi, yEh jeenaah bhI koi jeenaah hai!").

3459:

anRu thEvar achurar vaanga*  alaikatal aravam aLaavi,* Or
kunRam vaiththa endhaay!* kodiyEn paruku innamuthE!	7.1.7

7. When DevAs and asurAs (long ago) churned the Ocean, they all got scared
and attempted to run away. It was YOU, who came to the rescue and helped
to stop the manthara mountain from wobbling (by taking KUrmAvataar) and
helped dEvAs and asurAs churn the Ocean with VaasukI. You are the One who
is the DRINKING NECTAR for me, the mahaapaapi and the terrible Greatest
sinner. ("this is the Prapatti monitor- naichiyaam and KaarpaNyam.") Oh en
AaraaamudhE- Insatiable nectar for me! These strongest, most cruel five
sense organs are telling something, but doing contradictory things on me
and are terribly influencing me and pulling me into deep horrors of
sensual pleasures and shaking my mind's determination and Vairagyam. HOW
WILL I EVER CONQUER THEIR LOWEST CHEAP ACTIONS AND ENTICEMENT? IF YOU DO
NOT SHOW YOUR FACE, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY FOR ME TO WIN AND CONQUER THEM,
MY DEAR LORD?

3460:
innamuthenath thOnRi* Oraivar  yaavaraiyum mayakka,* neevaiththa-

8. Oh Lord! , The One who loves me like my mother! ("Thirumangai mannan
says: "peRRa thaayinum aayina cheyyum"- saying "Narayana" does more than
the mother!") For me alone, did You take KrishNaavataar? (nammAzhwAr
always falls for Krishnavataar! It is also told that AzhwArs (except for
Andal and madhurakavi),  are Bhagawaan's abhinava dasaavataaram and
Nammaazhwaar is comparable to Krishnavataaram). You are offering Yourself
ceaselessly to the fullest enjoyment of NityasUris! can You not remove
these shackles and my sufferings by showering Your grace to me similarly
(as You do to NityasUris!)? When the sense organs join with the mind and
act, they look and give an ILLUSION THAT IT IS ALL PLEASURES. WHEN IT
DEVELOPS AND INCREASES, IT SHOWS ITS COLOUR AND IS MORE VENOMOUS THAN
POISON. Even individually, it is capable of conquering  one completely and
win over them. (by its action namely, seeing, touching, hearing, smelling
and tasting). Right from lowly people, upto BrahmA, with no
discrimination, the sense organs attack mercilessly and dumb their
intellects and push them into samsaaric ills.  (Wow! what a description by
AzhwAr!) Such a tie in with Prakritti, only You should remove and cut
asunder these connections completely. YOU SHOULD BLESS ME TO THINK OF AND
PRAISE YOUR CHINNAMS (ornaments) AND DIVINELY BEAUTIFUL FACE AND PAY
OBEISANCE TO YOU WITH BOTH HANDS. (means: mind, Speech and actions shall
escape the clasps of sense organs!)

3461:

pala muthal pataiththaay!* en kaNNaa! en paranchudarE!	7.1.9

9. One's sins that are committed, not only finishes him; but also his
entire kulam (lineage) and pushes one into the deep valley of most cruel
sensual pleasures. Hence, please show mercy one me to get rid of these
sense organs' influences COMPLETELY, and alleviate my sufferings. You are
the One who created the Earth, the sky, all objects and beings. and NOT
JUST THAT. You came as Krishnan to protect us and showed Your Most
shining, illustrious Beautiful Divya MangaLa ThirumEni (Divine Body). YOU
SHOULD ONLY gracefully SAVE ME FROM NOT FALLING INTO " siRRinbham"
(sensual pleasures).

3462:
 enparaNY chudarE!  enRunnai alaRRi* un  iNaiththaamaraikatku,*
anpuruki niRkum* adhunNiRkach chumadu thandhaay,*
vanparangaL etuththu _aivar* thichaithichai  valiththeRRukinRanar:*
munparavai kataindhu* amutham koNta moorththiyO!	7.1.10

10. My AthmA, should naturally be able to enjoy Your LOTUS FEET and melt
at that sight overwhelmingly and blissfully, and I should call You most
desirously and lovingly " Oh My dearest Lord, who showed me Your Most
Beautiful Divya MangaLa ThirumEni!". And on the contrary, You are not by
my side and WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THIS LOWLY PHYSICAL, MATERIALISTIC, BODY
THAT INVLOVES ITSELF ALWAYS IN " siRRinbham" (transitory momentary
pleasures)? When it is meant for performing kamikaryam to You,  it is NOW
being used  as carrier of these sense organs that are stacking and piling
burdens and burdens on me. These sense organs, not only add burden to me,
but also are pushing and kicking me into the cruel, deep samsarric
valleys. YOU ARE THE POSSESSOR OF THIS ATHMA AND THE BODY. HOW CAN YOU LET
IT SLIP OUT OF YOU, MY LORD? Oh amudhamE (nectar!) Oh Most Beautiful Lord!
Please save me from all these sense organs. (NampiLLai interprets
interestingly regarding the stacking of burdens- The Prince, on the way,
stopped for a while, removed his crown and his royal attire and found
himself being mistaken for an ordinary man by others; others load him with
their belongings, when they take rest as a "sumaithaanghi" (to hold their
burdens for sometime). The burdens keep increasing and are stacked on his
head. The Prince himself forgets his self and his actual existence. This
is smilar to that. WE ARE PRINCES AND SONS (and DAUGHTERS) of the Divine
Parents).

11. For Brahma, who with his rajas guNa, creates the world; for Sivan, who
with his thamasa guNa, destroys the worlds; He, Sri VishNu stands as
antharyaami in them and acts. He is the One who protects and saves the
worlds. He is the One who has His Yogha nithrA on the Bed of AdhisEshan on
the Milk Ocean. I, SADAGOPAR, AM THE HUMBLE LOWLY SERVANT OF SERVANT OF
SERVANT OF SERVANT OF EMPERUMAAN, WHO HAS THE RED LOTUS IN HIS NAVEL, have
sung 1000 pasurams on Emperumaan. Out of those 1000, readers of these ten
will GET THEIR KARMIC DISEASES REMOVED AND ALLEVIATED AUTOMATICALLY AT
ALLTIMES.
