1. EmperumaanE! There (in upper world), here (in this world) and below( at
the PaathaaLa lOkam), - everyone out there at these three worlds, are
simply not bothered at all to get to know Your Ever Youthful awesome
Beauty; all that they are after is to get the benefits from You. DevAs,
asurAs, human beings- are all coming to You to get something for them and
their lives only; never realise Your limitless, unbounded beauty and never
greet You in this regard; They always say "Oh SridEvI bhUdEvi samEtha
BhagawaanE Sriman NaaraayaNA! We surrender to You". (But never sing Long
live and Greetings to You and Your Beautiful Form - They never sing
pallaaNdu.)

2. (Last pAsuram, AzhwAr mentioned the materialistic bhakthAs, who ask the
Lord for Aishwaryam. Here he lambasts those who ask for liberation for
their AthmA and its anubhavam (kaivalyar).) The four vEdAs in their first
sections talk about aishwaryam (wealth) and the means to attain worldly,
materialistic benefits. Those who are after and desire aivalya jnAnam, do
not involve themselves on such portions of Vedic knowledge.  They study
only the latter portions of VedAs, where the means to get rid of samsaaric
ills, the viscious cycle of births /deaths are mentioned.  They stand firm
on such methods and steps as per VedAs, and reach the Lord and get
AthmAnubhavam. They say "we have got rid of Deaths, Births, Old ageing,
and Diseases" and enjoy only AthmAnubhavam. They only utter (just lip
service) that they have become devotees /bhakthAs of Emperumaan, who holds
the Divine ChakrA and are very happy with AthmAnubhavam. (by getting rd of
births and deaths). Do they all think that they have been blessed to
perform kaimkaryam to Emperumaan?.

thaaLum thOLum* kaigaLaiyaarath thozakkaaNEn*
naaLum naaLum naaduvan* adiyEn NYaalaththE.	8.3.3

3. Poor Emperumaan! He, single handedly, all by Himself, carries the
Sanghu and Chakram. Is there no one (no servant) for Him to help Him?
AiyO! He is there lonely; and none to hold  His bow and sword. (Will I not
go holding that and go behind Him like LakshmaNA went behind Ramaa?) I
want to see His Feet and the Shoulders to fullest satisfaction while
serving Him. Hence, I love to go behind Him only everyday in this world. I
feel terribly bad and it hurts me to think of His loneliness. (That is
NammAzhwAr!)

3588:

4. My dearest Lord! You ate the universe as Your food (during PraLyam) to
protect the same. You lied down on the leaf of a great Banyan tree as (an
exquisite) Child, incomparable. Such a wonderful maayavan You are! You are
Beauty Personified! I eagerly long and look forward to being blessed with
such Darshan of Your Beauty. Every second (that I miss seeing You) appears
like a terrible, dark, PraLya kaalam to me (when there is full of
darkness.)

3589:

5. EmperumaanE! You are showing Yourself as lying down at Divya
kshEthrams, ThirukkOLUr and ThirupuLingudi. Are You tired and resting due
to Your tremendous exertion that You had undergone during Your avathaarams
(in order to alleviate the sufferings of Your  devotees)? Or Are You tired
due to Your measuring the whole world in one step? Please tell me.
(paNiyaayE!- please tell me is one meaning. Another meaning: Order me to
serve You. Is Your shoulder paining due to Your Ramaavataar?  And is Your
leg paining due to Your Trivikramavataar? Please order me to gently
massage and squeeze Your shoulders and feet to comfort You!).
(Thirumazhisai AzhwAr says: nadandhakaalkaL nonthavO ? Is the leg (that
walked during Ramaavataar and krishNAvataar) paining? Is that why are You
lying down?) (We can even imagine miming to Periya Piraatti- our sweet
Dearest loving Mother also, who is massaging the Lotus Feet of Sriman
Narayanan (when He is having His yOgha nithrA) to take rest for sometime
and lie down while one of us can take over from Her to gently squeeze the
Lord's Feet, while the other can perform kaimkaryam at our ammA's Feet
too, enjoying and drinking Their Beauty uninterruptedly. (After all she
also walked with Sri Ramaa!) How nice will that be? How Great will that
be? - Oh No! I wish it were true!)

6. NityasUrIs, who never bow down to any one else- always bow down to
Emperumaan and pay their obeisance to Him. He is the object of Their
jnAnam and obeisance. Please realise that He alone, the Most Beautiful One
who has the Sanghu and Chakram, is the only God. He, the Curer of this
most cruel disease of Births and Deaths, the robber of my heart- the Blue
Hued Lord- walks so majestically.

7. People, for their respective works, shuttle between here (Thirunagari,
where AzhwAr lives!) and ThiruvaNparisaaram. When there are so many
travelling between Thirunagari and ThiruvaNparisaaram, is there absolutely
NO ONE to help me and inform Emperumaan (who is there at
ThiruvaNparisaaram Divya sthalam) about my situation? Will someone tell
that LakshmInathan Emperumaan "When You are beautifully showing Yourself
holding Sanghu and ChakrA, there is Your servant, one (SadagOpar) who is
ready and willing to serve You"? What will I do?

3592:

8. ThirumaalE! The One who has the ChakrA! You covered the seven worlds,
seven mountains, seven islands, seven Oceans, etc.. with Your Feet. I, who
is also Your servant, should be blessed by You to serve You at Your Lotus
Feet. When will You get a mind (ThiruvuLLam) to enable me serve You,
standing at Your Most Beautiful Lotus Feet?

3593:

orumaamuthalvaa!* oozippiraan ennai aaLutai*

9. ThirumaalE! Who can know You fully? Even the Four faced BrahmA, Reddish
Brown haired Sivan- Have they known or comprehended You fully? No. What is
the use of muttering all this? You Beauty simply stupefies me! My love for
You is troubling me! I have been repeatedly calling You as "Peerless,
unmatched, unparalleled Primordial Chief! The Cause of Everything (even
before the Cosmic cycle!). My Master! My ruler! The One who has the Dark,
Beautiful ThirumEni (Body)!" . Isn't Your Beautiful form that simply
torments me? (Inner meaning: Because of my love and madness for You, I am
saying all this about You; Not because I have comprehended You. That is
NOT possible even by Brahma, Sivan!)

3594:
kalakkam illaa* nalthavamunivar karaigandOr*

malakkam eytha* maagadalthannaik kadaindhaanai*
ulakka naam pukazkiRpathu* en_cheyvathu uraiyeerE.	8.3.10

10.  Sages like Janakar (who are great thapasvIs and Great jnAnIs- who are
unambiguously clear of the Parathvam of Emperumaan) pay obeisance to
Emperumaan. Not just them. The mukthars (who have crossed the terrible
ocean of births) and Nithyars (who are never connected with Samsaara
saagaram) also pay their obeisance to Bhagawaan and serve Him. Such Great
Emperumaan, churned the Huge Ocean! Tell me. Is it appropriate and
possible for us to fully, completely praise, talk and sing such a Lord's
Glories and His kalyANa guNAs?

11. The Long haired Beautiful Lord SarvEshwaran showers His mercy and
removes our confusions and vibharItha jnAnam (wrong knowledge that the
Body is AthmA, etc.. and attaching ourselves to the body). Sri SadagOpar
of Thirukkurugoor has sung in praise of such Greatest Emperumaan. Out of
those 1000 pAsrams, those who read these ten, will NEVER EVER BE BORN IN
THIS EARTH. (NampiLLai says: They will be born in Parama padham and
perform NithyAnubhvam and kaimkarya anuhbhavam.)
