Thirumangai Azwar Pasuram (Periya Thirumozhi: 4.4.8) About VarahaAvatharam.


சிலம்பிடைச்சிறுபரல்போல் பெரியமேரு
திருக்குளம்பில் கணகணப்ப திருவாகரம்
குலுங்க நிலமடந்தைதனை இடந்துபுல்கி
கோட்டிடைவைத்தருளிய எங்கோமான்கண்டீர் …..

silampinidai siRu paral pOl periya mEru *
thirukkuLambil kaNakaNappath thiruvAkAram
kulungka * nila madandhai thanai idandhu pulgik *
kOttidai vaiththu aruLiya engkOmAn kaNdIr **

Meaning -

Like a small paral inside silambu, Meru mountain shaked when Shree Varahar took Bhoomi matha in His teeth to rescue Her from hiranyakshan.



VarAha charama slOkams (Varahar Slokam to Bhumadevi to her question about, what is easy means that would help all jeevans on me to reach mOksham)

sthitE manasi susvasthE sarIrE sati yO nara:
dhAtusAmyE sthitE smartA visvarUpam ca maamajam
tatastam mriyamANam tu kAshTha paashaNa sannibham
aham smarAmi mad bhaktam nayAmi paramAm gatim

Oh Bhumi Devi! The entire universe is my body (sarIram). I do not have births or deaths. When my bhakthAs with mahA visvAsam surrender to me, while they are still in a state of tranquil mind and healthy body and reflect about Me as SarvAdharan (root cause of all), niyanthA (one who commands from within) sarva sEshi (the ultimate), aasrayaNeeyan (one who is fit to be worshipped), Sarva VyApthan (all-pervasive) and Nithya sannihithan (One who is always near), then I think of them at their last moments, when they are totally unconscious like a log or a stone and lead them by archirAdhi maargam to My parama padham and bless them to have nithya kaimkarya bhAgyam to Me there.
