1. EmperumaanE! In Your Most Beautiful broad chest, Periya PiraaTTi
MahAlakshmi, (the One who has the lovely dark, large eyes, and sits on
Lotus flower) stays most gracefully being united with You always.
(nithyaanapaayinee- the one who never gets separated). Oh Sriya: PathI!
You have the "scorching" ChakrA and the Divine Conch in Your hands. I wish
to see with my physical eyes this kOlam (form) of Yours with sanghu and
chakram. (A small digression: We, at Simhapuri, are blessed with the
ChakratthAZhwAr sannidhi (at our Srinivasa PerumAL Koil, at Seraangoon
Road) with Lord Nrisimhan at the back of ChakratthAzhwAn, similar to what
we have at Srirangam. Yesterday was the consecration (samprOkshaNam?). Do
you have one such SudharsnAzhwAn- Nrusimha combination at US?)

3707:

naNNaathu oziyEn enRu* naan azaippanE.	9.4.2

2. KaNNE! You are the eyes for me to see You even; (means: You should only
bless me to see You- You are the means to see You.) My heart has been
calling You in order to see You right now. It has been exerting itself to
somehow see You. There are floods of thoughts, barging in to find our ways
to see You. Even BrahmA, DevAs, and Rishis can NOT see You. When even they
can Not see You, I, out of my sheer love for You, am yelling to see You. I
simply can NOT live without nearing You.

3708:
azaikkinRa adinNaayEn* naaykoozai vaalaal*
kuzaikkinRadhu pOla* ennuLLam kuzaiyum*
mazaikku anRukunRam etuththu* aanNiraikaaththaay,
pizaikkinRatharuLenRu* pEthuRuvanE.	9.4.3

3. As KaNNan, You lifted efforlessly the Govardhana mountain and protected
the cows from heavy rains. I (adiyEn), the lowly self like the dog
("adinaayEn")- am getting my mind completely liquefied ("kuzhaidhal"?)
while I call You with Your sweet names. (Similar to the dog wagging its
tails at the sight of its master, my mind also wags when I call You). Will
Your merciful nature be exhausted and not be there with You? Like that my
mind laments. Or have I gone out of the range of Your merciful nature
even?

3709:
uRuvathu ithuvenRu* unakku Atpattu*
nin_kaNpeRuvathu ethukolenRu* pEthaiyEn nencham*
maRukalcheyyum* vaanavar thaanavarkku enRum*
aRivathariya* ariyaaya ammaanE!	9.4.4

4. Oh Lord NarasimhA! The One who is not known even by DevAs and asurAs.
After realising that "this AthmA is only Yours and is for only Your
servant; That is the only fittest thing for the AthmA", the only remaining
thing and the fruit is kaimkaryam. Isn't it, Lord? Even then, my foolish
mind is looking for something to be obtained from You. (like seeing You
and enjoying You, here).

3710:
ariyaaya ammaanai* amarar piraanai*
periyaanaip* piramanai munbataiththaanai*
varivaaL aravin_aNaip* paLLikoLkinRa*
kariyaankazal kaaNak* karuthum karuththE.	9.4.5

5. My Lord, My Emperumaan is the One who took Narasimha avtaar. He is
everyone's master! He is bigger than everyone and anyone. He is the
Primordial Chief- the One who created BrahmA; He is having His Yoga nithrA
on the Adhi sEshan. My mind longs and desires for seeing such greatest
Lord's (The Black Beauty with Divya ThirumEni) Lotus Feet.

3711:

6. BhagawaanE! The Chief of Nitya sUris! You alone are in my thoughts
always. Hence, I wished to retain You in my heart and enjoy You. You
blessed me with that and You have showed me Your face too. You are
unmatched, peerless, unparalleled Lord, who is there at Paramapadham. In
as much as You make NityasUris enjoy You there, You stay in my heart and
have made me enjoy Your presence in my heart, uninterruptedly.

3712:

akampaal akandhaan amarndhE* itangonda amalaa*
mikundhaanavan maarvakalam* irukooRaa nakandhaay*

7. My blemishless, faultless EmperumaanE! The one who stays in my heart
and lets me enjoy Him constantly at all times! Due to Your great love for
me, You have occupied in my heart's entire space. Oh NarasimhA! The One
who tore the proud hiraNyan's chest into two pieces! My mind relishes to
the fullest extent thinking of You only.

3713:
uruvaakiya* aaRuchamayangatkellaam*
poruvaaki ninRaan* avan ellaapporutkum*
aruvaakiya aathiyaith* thEvargatkellaam*
karuvaakiya kaNNanaik* kandukoNtEnE.	9.4.8

8. I have seen KaNNa piraan, the One who is cause for BrhmAdi DevAs; the
One directs them; the One who is antharyaami, in every being; the One who
is the Primordial Chief; the One who is also the stumbling Block for all
"wrong" (vibharIta jnAna) religions. (dEvargatku ellaam karuvaagiya
KaNNanaik kaNdu koNdEnE!)

3714:

9. I am blessed to have the darshan of my Emperumaan - the Chief of
NityasUris- the Paramapadha nAthan. I am extremely happy and am having a
blissful experience of seeing Him with both my eyes to the greatest
satisfaction. Hence, I am able to get rid of all my karmic entanglements
and all sins accrued by me from time immemorial. There is no hurdle for me
henceforth to enjoy my dearest Emperumaan. Also, I am blessed to sing in
praise of Him, these verses that are so palatable and sweet for His
devotees. Thus, not only did He acknowledge me as His servant and entered
into my heart, He also made me sing my great anubhavams in these verses.
How much of a bhAgyavaan am I!

3715:
adiyaan ivanenRu* enakkaararuLcheyyum netiyaanai*
niRaipukaz anchiRaip* puLLin kotiyaanai*
kunRaamal* ulakamaLandha adiyaanai*
ataindhu adiyEn* uyndhavaaRE.	9.4.10

0. My Lord- My Emperumaan- My Dearest Bhagawaan Sriman Narayanan- has
blessed me greatly by saying "he is my servant and devotee". That "tall"
Lord of mine, has got the greatest of auspicious attributes and of beauty
unparalleled. He has GarudA as the flag for His chariot. He measured the
whole universe with His Feet, leaving no stone untouched by Him. Such
Greatest Lord- "I", the lowly self, have been blessed to attain Him and
get saved. What is the reason for this greatest deed onto me? Just a
simple jnAnam (thinking) that I am His servant makes me get blessed by Him
to such an extent? What a bhAgyam! What a bhAgyam! (How merciful is He!)
(This pAsuram is the most favourite of Paraasara Bhattar's, for its
reference to Bhagawaan's dayALa guNA on His devotees)

11. KaNNan, the one who killed the huge elephant kuvalayaapeetam- About
Him, Sri SadagOpar of Thirukkurugoor has sung 1000 verses. Those who read
these ten out of 1000 pAsurams will enchant NityasUris and enrapture the
Lion of NityasUris, the Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan.
