Chapter 3
Praising Thirumālirunjolai - (உருப்பிணி நங்கைதன்னை)
திருமாலிருஞ்சோலை-2
On Thirumaliruncholai Malai resides the lord, Azhagar. He is both Rama and Krishna. The mountain where the beautiful one resides is filled with beauty, coolness, and prosperity. It is the mountain where the Kurathi women sing the Kurinji songs, pleasing Govinda. The mountain is ruled by the lord who reclines on the thousand-hooded Adisesha. It is the mountain where Azhagar, the essence of Vedanta, eternally resides.
திருமாலிருஞ்சோலை மலையில் எழுந்தருளி இருக்கும் பெருமாள் அழகர். இவனே இராமன்; இவனே கண்ணன். அழகன் அமரும் மலை! அழகும் குளிர்ச்சியும் வெற்றியுமுடைய மலை. குறத்தியர் குறிஞ்சிப் பண்பாடிக் கோவிந்தனை மகிழ்விக்கும் மலை! அணி பணமாயிரங்களார்ந்த திருவனந்தன்மேல் படுத்திருக்கும் பெருமாள் ஆளும் மலை. வேதாந்த விழுப்பொருளாகிற அழகர் நிலைத்து வாழும் மலை.
