திருக்கடல்மல்லை -1
Thirukkadalmallai is the name given to Mamallapuram. In this village, the Lord is reclining on the ground, hence He is known by the name Sthalasayana Perumal. There was a sage named Pundarika. The Lord desired to wear the flower that Pundarika brought with devotion. Therefore, leaving the Adisesha bed in the milky ocean, He came here and reclined on + Read more
மாமல்லபுரத்திற்குத் திருக்கடல்மல்லை என்று பெயர். இவ்வூரில் பகவான் தரையில் படுத்துக்கொண்டு இருக்கிறான். அதனால் அவருக்கு ஸ்தலசாயீ என்று திருநாமம். புண்டரீகர் என்ற மகரீஷி ஒருவர் இருந்தார். அவர் பக்தியோடு கொண்டு வந்த மலரை அணிந்துகொள்ள பகவான் விரும்பினான். அதனால் பாற்கடலில் பாம்பணையை விட்டு இங்கு வந்து கடற்கரையில் பள்ளி கொண்டான். அடியார்களிடம் அன்பு கொண்டவனன்றோ அவன்! உத்ஸவருக்கு உலகுய்ய நின்றான் என்று திருநாமம்.

- Verse 1:
1088. In Kadalmallai Thalasayanam I saw the lord, strong as a bull, sweet as the nectar from the milky ocean, generous as the Karpaga tree, bright like a golden hill, sweet as sugarcane in the hearts of his devotees, precious as a coral pillar, who swallowed all the worlds and spit them out, split open the mouth of the Asuran that came as a horse, broke the tusks of the elephant Kuvalayābeedam and walked between the marudam trees and broke them and who saved Gajendra from the crocodile. - Verse 2:
1089. Don’t believe in those who do tapas to other gods and serve them and don’t trust their false books as true or believe in their teachings and destroy yourselves. Come to our dark cloud-colored lord in Thirunindravur, who is a precious pearl and good tapas worshiped by all the ganas in Kāndavanam where he burned Indra’s gardens. I saw him in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam. - Verse 3:
1090. The dark cloud-colored lord, the protector of the world who drank milk from the breasts of Putanā and killed her and grazed the calves and played with them, is himself the three gods, Nānmuhan, Shivā and Indra, but different than them. He will show the divine path for his devotees so they can go to the Thanjai Māmani temple and worship him. I saw the lord who will come to the earth on a horse as Kalki in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves - Verse 4:
1091. In Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves I saw the god who drank milk from the breasts of Putanā and killed her, broke the tusks of the strong elephant Kuvalayābeedam and stole the butter that Yashodā, his doe-eyed mother, churned and kept in the uri. He, sweet nectar for Vediyars, danced the kuravai dance on a pot and carried Govardhanā mountain to protect the cows and the cowherds. - Verse 5:
1092. In Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves I saw the sapphire-colored lord with four mountain-like arms, the beloved of the earth goddess who embraces her arms, broke the cart and killed Sakatasuran, lay on a banyan leaf when he was a child, went as a messenger for the Pāndavās to the Kauravās and fought and killed the wrestlers sent by Kamsan. - Verse 6:
1093. Our lord, my father who rests on many-headed Adisesha on the ocean, broke the tusks of the elephant Kuvalayābeedam, took the form of a boar with curving tusks, split open the underworld and brought the earth goddess up, and measured the earth and the sky with his two feet at Mahābali’s sacrifice. He stays in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves and I saw him there. - Verse 7:
1094. The lord who rests on the roaring ocean and rides on Garudā crushed the mountain-like arms of the strong undefeated Rākshasas and killed their king of Lankā, Rāvana, took the form of a man-lion and split open the chest of the Asuran Hiranyan, and drank the poisonous milk of Putanā and killed her. He stays in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves, and in the hearts of those who think of him and I searched for him and found him there. - Verse 8:
1095. He came as Mohini and gave nectar to the gods, cheating the Asurans when the milky ocean was churned, and he took the form of a mighty man-lion with teeth like crescent moons and split open the chest of Hiranyan. As large as Thiru Meyyam mountain, he rests on the ocean surrounded by cool abundant water on many-headed Adisesha. The lord who has long beautiful lotus eyes stays in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves where all devotees think of him and there is no limit to his fame. I found him there. - Verse 9:
1096. The lord whose feet his devotees praise measured the world at the sacrifice of Mahābali and he killed the king of the Raksasas of the southern Lankā. He taught the sages, all the four ancient Vedās, the five sacrifices, the six Upanishads and all the other sastras and he stays in Kadalmallai Thalasayanam surrounded with thick groves, and I, his devotee, saw him there. - Verse 10:
1097. Kaliyan, a warrior in battles with ability to control strong elephants dripping with ichor, composed ten sweet musical pāsurams on the god of Kadalmallai Thalasayanam who rests on the snake Adisesha on the ocean, killed Hiranyan, the king of the Asurans and went between the marudu trees, angrily killing the Asurans. If devotees learn and recite these ten pāsurams well they will not have the results of their karmā.
