TIRUVIRUTTAM
And
THE AUSPICIOUS QUALITIES OF THE LORD (15)
-----
71. He has kept, in the world itself, those objects
that make us think of Him.
?oozhikaLAy ulakEzhum uNdAn enrilam, pazhankaNdu
AzhikaLAm pazha vaNNam enRERku ahthE koNdu annai
nAzh ivaLO! Ennum, j~nAlamuNdAn vaNNam colliRRu
ennum!
thOzhikaLO uraiyeer, emmai ammanai choozhkinRavE!?
(I did not mention openly the name or the greatness or
the job of my Lord, Who rules the Time and Who kept
all the worlds in His stomach. But, on seeing a black
fruit, when I just mentioned without any intention,
that its colour is like that of the ocean, my mother
has taken my words very seriously and complains, ?This
girl doesn?t listen to me; she does things on her own
with arrogance; and she describes it as the colour of
the Lord Who swallowed the world!? Oh friends! Please
clarify why my mother thinks wrongly of me.)
[?kaLA pazham? -- a small black edible fruit]
72. He has the Tulasi garland which mitigates the
insatiable desire that turns even the things like the
pleasant crescent moon, into irritable items.
?choozhkinRa kankul churunkA iruLin karum
thiNimbai
pOzhkinRa thinkaLam piLLaiyum pOzhka, thuzhAy
malarkkE
thAzhkinRa nenjatthoru thamiyAttiyEn mAmaikku
inRu
vAzhkinRavARu ithuvO? vanthu thOnRiRRu
vAliyathE.?
(Leave the beautiful, pleasant crescent moon, which
breaks the utter darkness of this night! [Let it break
me too!] This moon is irritable and blackens my skin?s
colour, when I am suffering lonely because of my mind
is obsessed with the thought of the Tulasi garland of
the Lord.)
73. He possesses the vigorous Discus which will
conquer all the seven worlds for the sake a devotee
who is mad after Him.
?chudaradal AzhippirAn pozhil
EzhaLikkum
cAlbin thakaimai kolAm? thamiyAtti thaLarnthathuvE.?
(This Lady-love feels desperate. Is it the way the
Lord, Who has the bright and vigorous Discus [on His
hands], to protect the seven worlds?)
74. Only for that sake, He is resting on the Milky
Ocean; has swallowed the world; lifted the Govardana
hill; and has the Tulasi garland on His crown.
?varuthiraip pAyal thirunedunkaN
vaLarnthu maRivuRRum vaiyam vizhunkiyum
mAlvaraiyaik
kiLarnthu maRitharak keeNdeduthAn mudi choodu
thuzhAi.?
(He rests on the wavy ocean, closing His beautiful
lengthy eyes, but is aware of everything; He swallows
the worlds; He also lifted the big hill, turned it
up-side-down, and held it as an umbrella; and is
adorning the Tulasi garland on His crown.)
75. He gives such devotees the Bliss of SrIvaikuNta
life in this world itself.
? ammAn adiyAr nilAkinRa vaikuNthamO num
nilaiyidamE??
(Is this world Your living place? Or SrIvaikuNta of
the Lord, where live the liberated and the nitya
sooris?)
