SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi. Today?s verse is Periya Thourmizh 1.8.7. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

paarunNeererikaaRRinodu aagaasamumivaiyaayinaan,
pErumaayiram pEsanNinRa piRappiliperugumidam,
kaarumvaarpaninNeeLvisumbidaich
chOrumaamugilthOythara,
sErumvaarpozhilsoozh
ezhilthiruvEngkadamadainNeNYchamE!     1.8.7

The Lord is The Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space (five
elements of Nature)- has thousand Divine Names- is NOT
bounded by KarmAs; - Such Greatest Lord- Emperumaan is
growing here at ThiruvEmkatam, the top of which is
hugged by clouds, the snowy droplets falling from the
sky, where the clouds land up and take rest on top of
this mountain, where 
fertile gardens  surround the lovely ThiruvEmkatam. Oh
mind! Reach there.

He is the indweller of the five elements and directs
them; He manifests in them, controls them.  

Taittriya Upanshad says: tadh shrushtvaa; tadhanu
pravishyaa; tadhEvaanu praavishath; 

The MahA NaarAyaNa Upanishad manthram salutes
appropriately this "Lord (the manifold sustainer )
this way in the same spirit:  

yasmAth JaathA na parA naiva kimcha-
  naasa ya aavivEsa bhuvanAni visvA 
prajApathi: prajayaa samvidhAna-
  sthrINi jyOthigumshi sachathE sa shOdasI 

(meaning): The beings born from PrajApathi (Lord
Srinivasan) are not separate from Him . He creates all
beings, provides them with the ten senses , the five
elements constituting their bodies and the three
luminous worlds  (fire, Sun and Moon ) in which they
dwell in and next enters into them as their indwelling
supporter and commander(antharyAmi).Before their
creation , nothing whatsoever existed other than Him.
He created them , gave them names and forms, entered
into them and finally became their ultimate
destination .Befitting His naamam as "ShOdasi " or the
one with 16 Kalais (PrANaa, SraddhA, five elements,
indriyA, mind, food, veerya, tapas, mantrA, yaj~nA,
the worlds and the names), He identifies with all the
creatures of the Universes.

This Lord, who has no equal or superior (samAdhika
daridhran) is the One, who is described as" idham
sarvam poorNam " (all of this prapancham is
encompassed/filled by Him).

Such Omnipotent Lord Paramapadha nAthan is here at
ThiruvEntakam. Oh Mind Reach there-says AzhwAr. 

Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLe SaraNam
