1.  "kaRpaar Ramapiraanai allaal maRRum kaRparO?..." goes the first
pAsuram. Why should anyone wish to learn anything but Sri Ramaa? Sri Rama
took everything (the Grass, the creeping ant, the living and non-living,
everyone and everything, - everything that was moving, everything that was
still- all that was born or created by BrahmA- all that existed in His
AyOddya,) to the very best of position (mOksham). (what a beautiful verse!
Sri Rama was so merciful and compassionate that He took ALL (irrespective
of their jnAnam, Bhakti, knowledge, scholarship, or even an inclination to
think of mOksham) out of His own dayA! It is HE WHO SHOULD GUIDE US TO
REACH HIM AND BE TAKEN BY HIM. Like Sri Anand wrote It is He who hepls us
to find AchAryA to mould us in such a way that we reach Him ultimately.-
Such a Krupaakaran Parama kaaruNikO Bhagawaan- parama dhayaaLu-
SaraNagatha vathsalan- Sri Rama- SHOULD SOMEONE LEARN ANYTHING ELSE, BUT
HIM? OF COURSE NOT.)

naattai aLiththuyyach cheydhu* natandhamai kEttumE?	7.5.2

2.  "naattil piRanthavar NaaraNaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?... The second pAsuram
says: Emperumaan, who is unbounded by karmas, still was born in this
earthly world and underwent sufferings for the sake of all of us (the
worldly people). Sri Rama took such an avataar and on His own went
searching for asurAs and killed them to save His people. Not only that.
When He completed the mission of His avataar and He was to go back to Sri
vaikuntam, He took all His people along with Him. After listening to such
ParamaathmA, Sri Rama's life, Of whom will someone become a servant except
His?

3.  "kEtpaarkaL kEsavan keerthiyallaal maRRUm kEtparO?....(Sri Rama took
everyone in AyOdhya along with Him to Sri Vikuntam. Whereas-) OUR DEAREST
SRI KRISHNAN, granted mOksham to even His enemy, sisupaalan, (who scolded
Him in such unparliamentary language in front of so many). JnAnis who
actually know such of His KalYANa guNAs, still desire to hear Sri
KrishNan- The One who killed kEsi asuran- Kesavan's glorious acts only-
WOULD THEY WISH TO HEAR SOMETHING ELSE? (No.) (NamPiLLai says: Sri
KrishNA's dayA is greater than Sri Rama's krupA, due to His granting
mOksham to even sisupaalan.)

4.  "thanmai aRibhavarthaam avaRkku aaLanRi aavaarO?...(If there is any
guNA of Emperumaan that is grander than that which granted mOksham to
sisupaalan, the asurA, then it is His protecting the universe during the
PraLayam by retaining the worlds in His stomach- as interpreted by
NampiLLai) During mahApraLayam, the sentient and non-sentient beings will
all perish. During that catostraphe, Emperumaan retains the universe in
His stomach. Afterwards, He creates BrahmA, the water- and Pancha bhUthAs
and brings out all sentient and non-sentient that were dormant during
PraLyam. He is such Greatest Primordal Chief and is the Aadhi kaaraNan-
Basic Cause and Effect of everything. Such wonderful acts of KaNNan are
always realized by learned ones and they- after realising that- will they
desire to be enslaved by anyone else EXCEPT KANNAN?

5.  "soozhalgaL sindhikkil maayan kazhalanRi choozhwarO?.When the Mother
earth was trapped in the deep troubled waters (like that of PraLyam
(Cosmic cycle end)), Bhagawaan took His Varaaha avataar and brought the
earth back on His tusk, and protected the same. One, after realizing such
a Varaaha avataar.s vaibhavam, Is there any other means THAN TO HOLD THE
LOTUS FEET OF HIS? Immaterial of how many ages one has been contemplating
on ways and means for salvation, THERE IS NONE BUT TO CATCH HOLD OF
VARAAHA SWAMI.S LOTUSB FEET.

3502:
kEttum uNarndhavar* kEchavaRku aaLanRi yaavarO,*

kOttangai vaamanaNnaaych* cheydha kooththukaL kaNtumE?	7.5.6

6.  "kEttum uNarndhavar kEsavarkku AaLanRi AavarO? .(NampiLLai says: This
pAsuram that talks about Vaamana avataar whose vaibhavam is more beautiful
and grand than Varaaha avataar.) MahA bhali Chkravartthi, the one who kept
donating to others (a "vaLLal") became proud and egoistic, and started
troubling DevAs, with his might. The poor dEvAs went and surrendered to
Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan. In order to alleviate their sufferings, He
took Vaamana avataar, as a small Brahmachari boy. He begged three measures
of earth from Maha bhali. Without being aware of the severity of the
yaachakam and the boy.s caliber, Bhali consented. Vaamanan became HUGE and
took Trivikrama avataar and measured the entire world in two steps of His
Feet; with the third on Bhali.s head. Thus He protected and saved the
world and dEvAs. By only Such "marvelous, wonderful" Maayavan, Lord
Emperumaan- Kesavan alone- Those who have heard of Vaamana avataar- would
like to be ruled. NONE ELSE.

3503:

koNtanguth thannodum koNtu* udan_senRadhu uNarndhumE?	7.5.7

7.  "kaNdum theLindhum kaRRaar kaNNaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?.IN ORDER TO GRANT
LONG LIFE (CHIRANJEEVITHVAM) TO Bhakthan MarkaNdEyan- (the one who wears
fragrant garland on his body) Sivan took him to Emperumaan Narayanan.
Emperumaan also, like His eternal life, granted the same to MarkaNdEyan
and blessed him to be chiranjeevi. Not only did He give him long life, He
also went behind that bhakthA, MarkaNdEyan. Those who have learnt of such
Parama kaaruNyam of Emperumaan- KaNNan- WILL NEVER LET THEMSELVES OFFER
THEIR SERVITUDE TO OTHERS, BUT KANNAN.

3504:

8.  "sella uNarndhavar selvanthan seer anRik kaRparO?. HiraNyan underwent
severe penance and obtained Great boon from BrahmA. Due to his false pride
and ego, he fought with deVas and won against them. He troubled them and
made dEvAs suffer terribly. Hence, in full compliance with the boon
granted to HiraNyan by Brahma, Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan, took NarasimhA
avataar, and tore his body and killed him. After knowing such Great deeds
of Emperumaan KaNNan, will someone be enslaved by others except KaNNan?
(No.)

3505:

9.  "maayam aRibhavar maayavaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?. DurYodhanaadhis-the
hundred kauravaas- deceived the Pancha paandavaas and obtained the share
of lands, by wrong means. In order to destroy the kauravaas, KaNNan, drove
the chariot, and helped paandavaas win against Kauravaas in the battle.
After learning such Great deeds of KaNNan, will someone desire to be ruled
by others except Him? (No.)

3506:

10.  "vaartthai aRibhavar maayavaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?.AthmA, without
knowing its true nature, undergoes various births. Due to their births,
there are diseases and deaths; Bhagawaan, with His grace and dayA, The
Most Merciful Lord, removes the sufferings of AthmA and enables it to
reach His Lotus Feet. (See, it is He who enables us!). Those who are clear
of this, and who are clear of His "words" (vaartthai) WILL NOT LET
THEMSELVES BECOME SOMEONE ELSE.S SERVANTS. (Dearest Sisters and Brothers,
here, "the first word in this pasursam "vaartthai", refers to His
Bhagawadh GitA Vaartthai i.e maam Ekam charaNam vraja:. Surrender to Me
alone..

11.  The BhakthAs, the adiyaarkaL- are certain and are determined that
Emperumaan alone is the means as well as the end. They DO NOT HEAR OF
OTHERS. (MISLEADING) ACTS OR WRONG WORDS, and get influenced by that. THEY
REMAIN UNAFFECTED BY SUCH EXTERNAL FACTORS. To such determined Devotees,
(those who have such vairaaghyam) KaNNan grants mOksham at Sri Vaikuntam.
About this KaNNan, Sri SadgOpar has sung 1000 pAsurams in praise of
KaNNan. Those who learn these ten (out of 1000) WILL HAVE CRYSTAL CLEAR
MINDS IN ALL THREE WORLDS. ("in spite of where they live- in spite of
their living in samsaara saagaram- they all will possess CLEAR DETERMINED
MINDS THAT LONG FOR EMPERUMAAN" says NampiLLai.
