TIRUVIRUTTAM
And
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (7)
-----
31. He has His abode in TiruvEnkatam, which too
possesses similar Bliss, as SrIvaikuNtam, and makes
the BhAghavatas to rush there.
"ampon mAmanikaL
tisai min-miLirum tiruvEnkadattu vantaL cimayam
misai min miLiriya pOvAn vazhikkoNda mEgangaLE."
(The clouds, with flashes of lightning, are rushing to
the top of the TiruvEnkada hill standing on a strong
base. The hill-top is full of elegant gold and lovely
gems spreading brightness all sides.)
32. He has such a great compassion as to confer an
elegant body, similar to His own, to the devotee who
attains Him.
"mEgankaLO uraiyIr, tirumAl mEniyokkum
yOgangaL ungaLukku evvARu peRRIr?"
(Oh Clouds! How did you get such a body similar to
that of TirumAl? Please tell me.)
[The Lady-love who is in a state of separation from
her lover (the Lord) addresses the clouds.]
33. He has taken a vow to destroy the wicked in order
to help His devotees to lead their lives.
"tirucchakkarattAl agal visumbum nilanum
iruLAr vinaikedac chengOl nadAvudIr."
(You are ruling justly in such a way as to ensure that
there is no wicked activity anywhere in the heaven as
well as in the earthly world.)
34. He is adorning Himself with the cool and beautiful
Tulasi garland only for the sake of His devotees who
can also enjoy wearing it.
"unatu taN tAr
tataikkinRa taNNam tuzhAy aNivAn atuvE manamAyp
pataikkinRa mAtuâ?¦."
(This Lady is languishing, with her heart ever on Your
cool, beautiful and un-withering Tulsi for wearing it
herself.)
35. The divine gift obtained by the BhAgavathas will
be enjoyable for their devotees too.
"ulakaLanta
mAlpAl tuzhAikku manamudaiyArkku nalkiRRaiyellAm
chOlvAn pukuntu ituvOr panivAdai tuzhAkinRatE."
(This cool breeze is caressing my body with a view to
robbing me of the entire Tulasi garland --- of the
Lord, Who had once measured all the worlds--- that is
normally presented to those who long for it.)
