SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaisnavas, When Thirukkurugaik kaavalappan was in his dhyAnam, Alavandhar had gone to his ashramam to prostrate at his feet; Since he had eyes closed and was in deep meditation, he stood along with few others who had also assembled there; KaNNan who was blessing Thirukkurugaik kaavalappan with His dhivya darshan turned his Thirumukham (face) to Alavandhar and blessed Him with His kataaksham. Having seen that, Kavalappar opened his eyes, and asked the people [who had assembled]: Is there anyone here from Sottaikulam- meaning Sriman Nathamuni kulam? [as KaNNan favours that kulam for their unalloyed devotion to Him]; Immediately, Alavandhar fell at his feet.. ?adiyEn?. When such a person from such a great kulam starts his sthOthras, KaNNan immediately shows His swaroopa, roopa, guNas in full entirety to Sri Alavandhar. Alavandhar saw BrahmA, Rudra getting stumbled in their praising Him; where am I- and he hesitates. tattvEna yasya mahimaarNava seekarANu: sakyO na maathum api sarva pithAmahAdyai: karthu tadheeya mahimasthuthim udyathaaya mahyam namOsthu kavayE nirapathrapaaya- 7th verse whose ocean of kalyANa guNas, glories and Supremacy- even the minutest portion of a droplet of which- can not be fully [even that drop] measured truly and uttered, praised by the likes of Rudran, Chathumukha brahmA, et al. and is difficult for them, and I am attempting to sing shamelessly at the greatness of Lotus feet of such Supreme Lord and my obeisance to me? [to this poet- who exhibits such rash attempt]. Let other people as well tease, mock and perform tease namaskaram at my brash attempt. viswAchAryaa: vidhi sivamukhA: - The chathurmukha brahmA, Rudra are all first Acharyas. Had they not taught others, who would have known and learnt the Vedas and saasthrAs? Even if they all assemble together, and collectively praise [and even if I am with them], even a fraction of a droplet of the ocean of Your glories, they [and I] can not do justice and complete that fraction. When such is the case, without feeling ashamed of my brazen attempt, I am trying to praise You. Knowing that this is wrong and not appropriate, I am not even ashamed. The world laughs at me and still I do not feel shameful; namaskaram to my daring, shameless attempt. Even if others tease, I am still not getting any shame and continue to praise. Even if it is not coming out to be praise for Him, still let it continue. The tongue is not in my control. Not even me.. I am not in my control. All are His control. Even if there is any punishment for this act, still, I do dare enter into the same. I perform namaskram to my attempt. But my composition would not stop.
