Thirupalliyezhuchi- 10

புவனியிற் போய் பிறவாமையின் நாள் நாம் போக்குகின்றோம் அவமே இந்தப் பூமி

சிவன் உய்யக் கொள்கின்ற வாறென்று" நோக்கித் திருப்பெருந் துறையுறைவாய்!திருமாலாம்
அவன் விருப்பெய்தவும் மலரவன் ஆசைப் படவும் நின் அலர்ந்த மெய்க் கருணையும் நீயும்
அவனியிற் புகுந்தெமை ஆட்கொள்ள வல்லாய்! ஆரமுதே பள்ளி எழுந்தருளாயே

bhuvaniyil poi piravamayin nāl nām
pokkuginrom avame inda bhūmi
sivan uiya kolkindra varendru nokki
tiruperumturai uraivai tirumālām
avan virupeithavum malaravan āsai
padavum nin alarnda mei karunaiyum nīyum
avaniyir pugundu yemmai ātkola vallai
āramude palli elundarulāye

"By not taking birth in the earth we are wasting our days because those who live on earth are loved and blessed by Śiva, the Lord of Thiruperunthurai." wished Brahmā, who was born out of the lotus which emerged from the navel of Lord Viṣṇu. He (Brahmā) and other Devās wish for your grace and You. They say "O lord! Embrace and accept us just as you embrace the souls in your refuge." O nectar! My Lord, wake up from your sleep.

Just as a mother takes care of her sick child more than her other children even though she loves all of them equally, Śiva cares more for the souls of the earth than the Devās. Thus the Devās want to take birth on earth to be a part of Śiva's special grace.

I hope you liked this Thiruvempāvai and Thirupalliezhuchi series. Next Mārghazhi month we'll know about Āndal Nāciyār's Thirupāvai.

Hara! Hara!

Yours,

Śivapādahṛdaya.
