thALa thAmarai

(Azhvar takes Kalamegap Perumal of Thirumogur, who becomes the companion of those who surrender at His divine feet, as the One who will accompany him and show him the way. Having done that, Azhvar states that he has lost the sufering of being born and decided to reach His abode.)

The Lord of lovely rain-cloud hue with four arms and curly locks, lotus eyes and coral lips, is the only refuge I have, Lotus blossoms profusely in the takes of fertile Tirumogur, where he resides by his sweet will, destroying all the Asuras

ilam gathi maRRonRu emmaikkum * In thaN thuzhAyin *

nalangkazhal avan adi nizhal * thadam anRi yAmE 2

The Lord in Tirumogur, where good Vedic seers live, has a thousand names and wears a good Tulasi garland crown. I have no refuge other than him through every birth, In the shade of his lotus feet is a lake of all goodness

Devotees, come let us go and offer worship of Tirumogur, to the Lord who sleeps in the Milky Ocean on a hooded serpent, Gods and sages constantly approach him with their praise and worship him for all their needs and seek his protection

thondIr! vammin * nam sudar oLi oru thani mudhalvan *
aNda mUvulagaLandhavan * aNi thirumOgUr **

Come devotees, let us go around the temple dear to use. Sugarcane and paddy grow ripe and fall in fields, in Tirumogur where he resides. He is the first-cause of all. Come then, let us dance in joy, for the measured the Earth!

kUththan kOvalan * kudhaRRu vallasurargaL kURRam *
Eththum nangkatkum * amararkkum munivarkkum inban **
vAyththa thaNpaNai vaLa vayal sUzh * thirumOgUr
Aththan * thAmarai adi anRi * maRRilam araNE 6

Gopala the pot-dancer is deadly to the Asuras and sweet to us, -his devotees, gods and seers as well. Cool and fertile groves and fields extend all around Tirumogur. Other than the lotus feet of our Attan we have no refuge

maRRilam araN vAn * perum pAzh thani mudhalA *
suRRum nIr padaiththu * adhan vazhith tholmuni mudhalA **
muRRum dhEvarOdu * ulagu seyvAn thirumOgUr *
suRRi nAm valam seyya * nam thuyar kedum kadidhE 7

We have no refuge. He made the wide and cool expanse then filling it with water, made the gods and ancient seers; then made the worlds and went to live in happy Tirumogur. If we go around him once, our woes will run away

thuyar kedum kadidhadaindhu vandhu * adiyavar thozhumin *

peyargaL Ayiram udaiya * vallarakkar pukkazhundha *
thayaradhan peRRa * maradhaga maNith thadaththinaiyE 8

O Devotees! Woes will run away, come quick and worship. The Lord of thousand names is also a lake of compassion. He resides in Tirumogur with lakes and lovely groves. He was born as Dasaratha's son Rama to destroy Lanka

maNith thadaththadi malark kaNgaL * pavaLach sevvAy *
aNikkoL nAl thadanthOL * dheyvam asurarai enRum **
thuNikkum vallarattan * uRai pozhil thirumOgUr *
naNiththu nammudai nallaraN * nAm adaindhanamE 9

The lovely lake-and-grove Tirumogur is now close of hand. Here resides the warrior Lord with four arms that overpower Asuras. We have attained our fortress. The Lord with lake-like feet, lotus eyes and coral lips!

nAm adaindha nallaraN * namakkenRu nallamarar *
thImai seyyum vallasurarai * anjchich senRadaindhAl **
kAma rUpam koNdu * ezhundhaLippAn thirumOgUr *
nAmamE navinRu eNNumin * Eththumin namargAL! 10

Good celestials, -fearing the wicked Asuras, -seek the Lord who takes the desired form in which you see him, and protects you. The Lord in Tirumogur is our fortress forever. O People, come then, let us praise his names in joy!

* Eththumin namargAL! * enRu thAn kudamAdu
kUththanai * kurugUrch sadakOpan kuRREvalgaL **
vAyththa AyiraththuL ivai * vaN thirumOgUrkku *
Iththa paththivai Eththa vallArkku * idar kedumE 11

This decad of the thousand songs by kurugur satakopan, on the Lord of Tirumogur, the pot-dancer Lord, -those who can worship him and sing of him in joy will end their miseries, this is certain.
