SrI:
 
 Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:
 
In this posting , adiyEn will cover the 90th Paasuram of Desika 
Prabhandham , which is the 51st Paasuram of AdhikAra Sangraham.

This Paasuram is the first of the sixth Paasurams dealing with
the 32nd chapter of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram 
(NigamanAdhikAram).

Theis paasuram celebrates the glories of the Sacred feet 
of  Lord RanganAthan as the UpAyam and Phalan for
the ChEthanams. It is set in PathinARu (Sixteen ) seer(symmetry)
Aasiriya viruttham ( Aasiriyam meter) and has a total of 16 lines .
Each of the sixteen lines celebrate one or other aspect of  
the myriad anugrahams of  Lord RanganAthan's ThiruvadigaL. 

(Genaral Meaning ): The insatiable nectar of the tender feet of 
the Lord of SrIrangam   are never abandoned by His BhakthAs .
He did many miracles during KrishNAvathAram . Let us enjoy 
the beauty of this KarNa ranjaka Paasuram line by line . The tamil 
text of this  90th Paasuram  is in paranthesis after the general meaning  
for each line : 

1. Those feet gave a swift kick to the asuran , who came in the form of 
a wheel to destroy the Lord and instead got totally destroyed
( uRu sakatam udaya orukAl uRRu uNarnthana) .

2. Those powerful feet crawled between the two Marutha
trees and brought them down ( udan marutham Odiya oru-pOthil
tavazhnthana). 

3. They stayed tied to the husking mortar , when the Lord was
caught stealing the butter and curds from the pots held high
by His Mother ( uRi tadavum aLavil uralOdu uRRu ninRana ).

4. Those strong feet went on an ambassadorial misison to
DuryOdhanA's court with delight  to plead the case for 
Dharma Puthran , the eldest PaaNDavan of unimpeachable 
conduct ( uRu neRi ohr Dharuman vidu thUthukku uhanthana) .

5.  Those purposeful feet roamed in BrundhAvanam with anger 
to destroy the enemies of the righteous ones( MaRa-neRiyar muRiya
PirutAnatthu vanthana).

6. Those tender feet could not even take the pressings of
MahA Lakshmi's soft hands and reddened even under such 
soft pressure ( Malar MahaL kai varuda , malar pOthil sivanthana).

7. Those dayA-filled feet (Thiruvadi) became the appropriate 
object for the devotion (bhakthi) of the Sages , who did not
wish to be born again in this Karma BhUmi ( MaRu piRavi 
aRum Munivar mAlukku isainthana).

8. Those sacred feet took its residence inside the VimAnam
( PraNavAkAra VimAnam ) , which reached the kings of 
Manu Dynasty from Brahma DEvan ( Manu MuRayil varuvathu
ohr vimAnatthu uRainthana ).

9. Those victorious feet shone on the chariot of the righteous
ArjunA ( aRam udaya Visayan amar tEril thihazhnthana).

10. They desroyed the hoods of the powerful serpent , KaaLiyan
through dancing on them ( adal urakam paDam madiya aadik-
kadanthana).

11. Those sacred feet adorn the celebrated sTAnam 
of SrI Vaikuntam that is not comprehended by any one
of the six mathams ( aRu samayam aRivu ariya tAnatthu
amarnthana). The six samayams/mathams are: Saankhyam , 
KaNAtham , Bhouddham , Patanjali matham , Jainam and Saivam.

12. Those holy  feet became the most appropriate object
of singing for the tongue of Swamy  NammAzhwAr , the king
of ThirukkuruhUr , which is the jewel for the BhU MaNDalam 
( aNi Kuruhai nahar munivar nAvukku amainthana).

13. Those sacred feet became the glorious object of
adornment of the fragrant TuLasi garland ( veRi udaya 
TuLava malar veeRukku aNinthana).

14. Those holy feet blessed queen Utthirai 's embryo ,
which was like a piece of charcoal and transformed it in to 
a beautiful young  child ( vizhu kari Ohr kumaran yena
mEvic--chiRanthana).

15. Those powerful feet chased and destroyed the heroic
army of the asurAs (viRal asurar paDai adaya veeyat-thurantana).

16. " Vidalariya PERIYA PERUMAAL  menn PaadhangaLE"
Those soft and tender feet of  Lord RanganAthan performed 
all these miracles effortlessly . Those sacred feet of Lord 
RanganAthan are not ever abandoned by His adiyArs.
May those adiyArs of this victorious Lord  be uplifted 
by seeking these holy  feet as their means (upAyam) 
and fruits (Phalan ) for Moksham !   

The chantham ( the rhythmic beats of this Paasuram can
only be appreciated by the musicians and raskikAs amongst us.
This Paasuram is usually sung as Raaga Maalikai in the RaagAs of
Kaapi, BehAg, Sindhu Bhairavi and HamsAnandhi.
