SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. 

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. 

pongku bOdhiyum piNdi yumudaib
 butthar nOnbiyar paLLi yuLLuRai,
thangkaL dhEvarum thaangkaLu mEyaaga ennNeNYchamenbaay
engkum vaanavar dhaana varniRainN
 dhEtthum vEngkadam mEvi nNinRaruL,
angka NaayagaR kinRadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE.    
2.1.5

5. Oh mind! You did not get distracted by those Jains
and Buddhists, who are there in their respective
temples with their demi gods. Good that you are able
to seek for performing eternal kaimkaryam to the Lord
of ThiruvEmkatam (where dEvAs come and praise Him) -
the Most Beautiful 
eyed Lord- the One who does to the satisfaction of His
devotees by fulfilling their desires.

thuvari yaadaiyar mattai yarsamaN
 thoNdar gaLmaNdi yuNdu pinnarum,
thamarum thaangkaLu mEdha dikka_en nNeNYchamenbaay,
kavari maakkaNam sErum vEngkadam
 kOyil koNdakaN Naarvi sumbidai,
amara naayagaR kinRadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE.    
2.1.6

6. Oh mind! You have sought to perform kaimkaryam to
the Lord of 
ThirumalA that is full of lovely deer. Good that you
did NOT care a damn about the fat pot bellied, saffron
clad Jains who have shaved off their heads, and wander
along with one another, eat eat and keep on getting
fat. You are a great vivEki! You have done a right
thing!

tharukki NnaalsamaN seydhu sORuthaN
 thayiri naalthira Lai,mi daRRidai
nerukku vaar_alak kaNadhu kaNden nNeNYchamenbaay,
marutkaL vaNdugaL paadum vEngkadam
 kOyil koNdadha NnOdum, vaanidai
arukkan mEvinNiR paaRkadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE.    
2.1.7

7. Having only the arguments and tharkaam as their
forte, these samaNars have attempted to (are trying
to) establish their religion with just arguments and
logic [tharkkam]. They eat a lump of rice mixed with
solid cured and get their throats choked up. Oh mind!
That's all they do. Argue- and eat. Nothing else. You
are great! You have sought to perform Nithya
kaimkaryam to the Lord, who has got ThiruvEmkatam as
His permanent place of stay - who is the antharyaami
[indweller] of the Sun.

sEya NnaNiyan siRiyan periya Nnenbadhu
 silarpEsak kEttirunN
dhE,en NneNYchamen baay!enak konRu sollaadhE,
vEygaL nNinRuveN muttha mEsori
 vEngka damalai kOyil mEviya,
aayar naayagaR kinRadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE.    
2.1.8

When various people talk about and describe
SarvEshwaran- some say, "He is there at the farthest
place and is inaccessible to us" and do not attempt to
go near Him or reach Him; some say" He is very close
and so near" but not seek Him; some think of Him as a
small person, by citing His Sowlabhyam and go away (by
ignoring Him); Some say "You just can NOT dare reach
Him; for He is so Big!" Oh my dear mind! Though they
all blabbered such statements, you never listened to
them. You have sought to perform kaimkaryam to the
Lord of ThiruvEmkatam where pearls drop from the
bamboo tree stems; - the Lord of Cowherds- Why did you
never utter a word to me about Him and His greatness,
about your desire to seek Him? 

koodi yaadi yuraitthadhE yuraitthaay_en
 neNYchamen baay! thuNinNdhukEL,
paadi yaadip palarum paNinNdhEtthik kaaNgilaar,
aadu thaamarai yOnu meesanum
 amarar kOnumnNin REtthum,vEngkadatthu
aadu kootthanuk kinRadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE.    
2.1.9

9. My mind! Listen to me attentively; You mingled with
people - got long with them- ate with them and
listened to them; Those who are devotees of the Lord
dance, sing His glories and pay their obeisance to
Him; But they never get to know His actual Greatness
and Glories fully and completely. The Lotus born
BrahmA, the One who is praised by everyone- Indran-
Sivan- they too (ARE NOT aware of His Greatness) come
to ThiruvEmkatam and pay their obeisance to
SarvEshwaran (the Chief of 
Cowherd men) there. You are great! You have sought to
perform eternal servitude to Him!

minnu maamugil mEvu thaNthiru
 vEngka damalai kOil mEviya,
annamaay nigazhnNdha amarar perumaanai,
kanni maamadhiL mangkai yarkali
 kanRi yinthami zhaalu raittha,im
mannu paadalval laarkkida maagum vaanulagE.  2.1.10  

The Lord - the One who stays permanently at
ThiruvEmkatam, where the dark clouds move long with
the lightning as if the darkness walks holding a lamp
along with it- the One who appeared as a Hamsam to
save Vedas and handed over to BrahmA- the Chief of
Nithya sooris- about whom this poet of Thirumangai has
sung in sweet Tamil pAsurams. Those who read them will
have Paramapadham as their permanent abode.
