1. My Perumaan- Bhagawaan- The One who is with Periyapiraatti MahAlakshmi
(who sits on the beautiful Lotus flower)- protects the seven worlds and
makes them blissful. He is here most gracefully and lovingly at
ThiruvaaRanviLai Divya dEsam. When will I be able to go there and with pay
obeisance to Him, with folded hands and heart full of bliss and eternal
happiness?

3553:

maagam thikazkodi maatangaL  neetu* mathiLthiruvaaRanviLai,*
maagandha neer_koNtu thoovi  valancheydhu* kaithoza kootungolO!	7.10.2

2. Bhagawaan measured the entire vast universe in His tow steps. With no
such semblance of that capacity of measuring, He appeared as a short
brahmin Brahmachari boy and took TrivikramAvataaram. ("kaaNmeergaL
ulagattheerE enRu kaNmughappE nimirndha" says NammAzhwAr in another
pasuram- See- People! And showed His Feet that grew in front of their
eyes!). Such Greatest Lord ThirukkuRaLappan is showing Himself so
gracefully at this Divya kshEthram of ThiruvaaRanviLai, which is full of
beautiful sky scrapping creepers, tall ramparts, etc.. Will I be blessed
to go there? Will I be able to sprinkle the fragrant water in the temple
and perform kaimkaryam and pay obeisance to the Lord? Will it ever happen?

3554:
kootungol vaikalum* kOvindhaNnai  madhuchoothanaik kOLariyai,*

paadum perumpukaz naanmaRai  vELvi* ainNthu aaRangam panninarvaaz,*
neetu pozil thiruvaaRan  viLaithoza* vaaykkungol nichchalumE!	7.10.3

3. My Lord is the One who came as Govindhan, as Madhusoodhanan, as
Narasimhan. Isn't He? Will I be blessed to worship Him everyday? Will I
ever be blessed to have the darshan of His appearance on the GarudA and
pay obeisance to Him? Not just that. Will I be able to go to
ThiruvaaRanviLai and have His darshan? There at this Divyasthalam, all
four vEdas are recited. There, at this sthalam, vedic scholars also
perform five types of yaaghams and learn six a~ngas elaborately. (is it
Prapatti anghas that AzhwAr is talking about?). Even if I am blessed to
get darshan of  Emperumaan's appearance on GarudA, I would still love to
enjoy the anubhavam (experience) of joining with Srivaishnavas at this
Divyasthalam (more than seeing just Emperumaan's Garuda sEvai). Will I get
that?

3555:
vaaykkungol nichchalum* eppozuthum manaththu eengu ninaikkappeRa*
vaaykkum karumpum perunchenNnelum*vayalchooz thiruvaaRanviLai,*
vaaykkum perumpukaz moovulakeechan* vata madhuraip piRandha,*
vaaykkum maNinNiRak kaNNapiraan than* malaradip pOthukaLE.	7.10.4

4. There are lots of sugarcane plants and paddy fields at this Divya
sthalam of ThiruvaaRanviLai. The whole place is so fertile. The Lord, who
gracefully is present at this Divya dEsam- Is it possible for me to pay
obeisance to Him, without going there at all? (just by mere thought alone
at all times). That Lord is the most Grandest Chief of all three lOkAs. He
is the same one who was born at Vada madurai as Sri KrishNan. Is it
possible from here itself to think of His Lotus feet and prostrate without
going to ThiruvaaRanviLai?

3556:
malaradip pOthukaL ennenchaththu eppozuthum*iruththi vaNanga,*
palaradiyaar munparuLiya*  paampaNaiyappan amarndhuRaiyum,*
malaril maNinNetu maatangaL  neetu* mathiLthiruvaaRan viLai,*
ulagam malipukaz paata* nNammEl vinai onRum nNillaaketumE.	7.10.5

5. I shall always think of His Lotus Feet ,keep them in my Heart and pay
obeisance to Them at all times. The Lord, Sriman Narayanan, who lies down
on AdhisEshan- blesses me gracefully and very specially, in front of so
many Vaishnavas (by using me as instrument to sing all these pAsurams on
Himself). (What a krupaakaran is He!) That Most merciful Lord is staying
at ThiruvaaRanviLai. If we sing His Glories, guNAs and also the beauty and
sanctity of this Divya dEsam, devotedly , all our sins will run away from
us and vanish completely.

3557:
onRum nNillaa ketum muRRavum*  theevinai uLLith thozumin dhoNteer,*

enRum eppOthum ennencham  thuthippa* uLLE irukkinRapiraan,*
ninRa aNi thiruvaaRan  viLaiyennum* neeL nNagaramadhuvE.	7.10.6

6. Bhagawaan KaNNan fought with sisupaalan, and married RukmiNi piraatti.
Such a valorous Lord- I shall always keep Him in my heart. He also, to
bless me and out of His Grace, is staying in me, just for showering His
grace on me. Such Most Merciful dearest Emperumaan, is there at
ThiruvaaRanviLai. Oh BhAgawathAs (Servants of the Lord!) Please go there
and pay obeisance to Him. If you do that, all your sins (whatsoever) will
get automatically destroyed.

3558:
neeNagara madhuvE malars  chOlaikaL chooz*thiruvaaRanviLai,*
neeNagaraththuu RaikinRapiraan* _nedumaal kaNNan viNNavar_kOn*
vaaNa purampukku mukkatpiraanai tholaiya* vempOrgaLcheydhu,*
vaaNanai aayiranNthOL thuNiththaan* charaNanRi maRRonRilamE.	7.10.7

7. This ThiruvaaRanviLai Divya dEsam is so beautiful and so naturally laid
out with gardens, full of flowers. Emperumaan, who is there at this
sthalam, is the One who appeared as Sri KrishNan and won over bhANAsuran,
and also sivan, who came in support of him. Sri KrishNan cut the 1000
shoulders of this asuran. Such Most Valorous KaNNan- But for His Lotus
Feet- there is nothing else that we can take refuge. Hence, the best means
(upaayam) is to surrender to His Lotus Feet.

3559:
 anRimaRRonRilam nin_saraNE! enRu* agalirum poykaiyinvaay,*
ninRuthan neeL kazalEththiya*  aanaiyin nenchitar theerththapiraan,*
chenRaNGku inithuRaikinRa*  chezumpozil chooz thiruvaaRanviLai,*
onRi valancheyya onRumO?*  theevinai uLLaththin chaarvallavE.	7.10.8

8. In the big pond, when the elephant GajEdndrA was caught by the
crocodile, it called Him "AdhimoolamE - The Primordial Chief! There is
nothing that can save me except Your Lotus Feet!". He immediately appeared
on GarudA and removed its suffering, killed the crocodile and saved the
elephant. Such an upakaarakan (Helpful Lord!) Piraan - KaNNan- is there at
ThiruvaaRanviLai. If we go there and pay obeisance to such a Lord, our
sins will NOT stay with us anymore. Hence, will I reach that sthalam?

3560:
theevinai uLLaththin chaarvallavaagith* theLivisumpERaluRRaal,*
naavinuLLum uLLath thuLLum*  amaindha thozilinuLLum nNavinRu,*
yaavarum vandhu vaNangum  pozil*thiruvaaRan viLaiyadhanai,*
mEvi valancheydhu kaithozak  kootungol* ennumen chindhanaiyE.	7.10.9

9. (In this pasuram, AzhwAr says: ThiruvaaRanviLai is better than Sri
Vaikuntam.) Even if I am able to reach the Pramapadham, not to let my sins
dare touch the AthmA- still I would rather love to be at ThiruvaaRanviLai,
than to be at Sri Vaikuntam. There at this sthlam, everyone, by their
manas, vaak, and kaayam (thoughts, words and actions) mention only His
Thirunaamam and pay obeisance to Him. Hence, will I ever get His blessing
of reaching that place and prostrate at His Feet and pay obeisance to Him
with folded hands? Like that my heart is lamenting!

3561:
chindhai maRRonRin thiRaththadhu allaaththanmai* thEva piraanaRiyum,*
chindhaiyiNnaal cheyvathaanaRiyaadhana* maayangaL onRumillai,*
chindhaiyiNnaal cholliNnaal cheykaiyaal* nilath thEvar kuzuvaNangum,*
chindhai magiz thiruvaaRan  viLaiyuRai* theerththanukku aRRapinnE.	7.10.10

10. Emperumaan- Devapiraan-  is worshipped by Srivaishnavas, (the servants
of Narayanan), with their thoughts, deeds and words completely. Such
Suddha satva Emperumaan- the Purest Beautiful Form- is there gracefully at
ThiruvaaRanviLai Thiruppathi to enchant our minds and make us blissful.
After knowing and realising completely that He alone shall be the Master
to whom we are eternal servants, my mind can NOT catch hold of anything or
anyone else. In fact He knows my mind; That Mysterious mischievous
Maayavan also knows what all He is going to do (on us!).

3562:##

theerththangaLEyenRu poochiththu  nalgi uraippar* dham thEviyarkkE. (2)	7.10.11

11. After knowing completely the servitude and finally determined to be
the eternal servant to Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan alone , Sri SadagOpar
has sung wholeheartedly 1000 pAsurams on Emperumaan without whom, there is
NO OTHER MEANS for us. Out of those 1000, the learners of these ten will
be addressed by Devas as Purest Srivaishnavas and Devas would tell that to
their wives too.
