Chapter 6
Mother's anger on seeing her daughter owned by the Lord - (கடல் ஞாலம்)
தலைவன் தன்மைகளைத் தன்னதாகக்கொண்டு பேசும் தலைவியின் நிலைகண்ட தாய் ஆவேசமோ என்று நொந்து கூறல்
parAnkusa nAyaki’s words ‘I am the creator of the world surrounded by the oceans, I am the world’ reflect that she considers herself as Bhagavān. “What is this??!!” says her astonished and confused mother. Some relatives come by to enquire about her daughter. “It seems like empurumAn has entered her body” says her mother who tries to unravel the mystery that’s her daughter, in these hymns.
பராங்குச நாயகி, ‘கடல் ஞாலம் செய்தேனும் யானே கடல் ஞானம் ஆவேனும் யானே’ என்று பலவாறாகக் கூறி, தன்னை எம்பெருமானாகவே கருதிப் பேசித் தரித்திருக்கப் பார்க்கிறார். தாயோ தன் மகளின் நிலையைக் கண்டு “இது என்ன?” என்று வியந்து கலக்குகிறாள். உறவினர் சிலர் வந்து இம்மகளின் நிலையைப் பற்றிக் கேட்கிறார்கள். “எம்பெருமான் இவளிடம் ஆவேசித்து இருப்பதுபோல் தோன்றுகிறது” என்று(தாய்) விடை கூறுவதாக இப்பகுதி அமைந்துள்ளது.

- Verse 1:
My daughter claims dominion over this expansive world, declaring she created it and permeates every corner. She boasts of seizing all realms from Bali and even holding the world within her stomach during the deluge. What can I possibly convey to you, persistent worldlings, about this? Is she perhaps possessed by the Supreme Lord himself? - Verse 2:
My daughter stands at the threshold of knowledge, claiming she has mastered all branches of learning and embodies the essence of it all within herself. It seems she is possessed by the Lord, from whom all knowledge emanates. What more can I say about the depths of learning? - Verse 3:
My daughter speaks with clarity, claiming to embody the visible elements—Earth, Wind, Water, Sky, and Fire. It seems she is indeed possessed by the sea-hued Lord. What more can I say about this world? - Verse 4:
This tender girl, with lips like ripe fruit, claims dominion over all deeds—past, present, and future. She asserts responsibility for creating the authors of those deeds and revels in their outcomes. It appears she may be influenced by the Lord of red lotus eyes. What more can I say to you, who are so innocent and unaware, about her? - Verse 5:
My beloved daughter boldly proclaims her governance over the worlds. She claims to have effortlessly lifted Mount Govardhan, defeated numerous demons, safely churned the milk ocean, and secured victory for the Pandavas. It appears she is possessed by the sea-hued Lord, always attentive to His devotees. Oh, people of the world, what more can I say about her, beyond any hope of correction? - Verse 6:
My daughter, with eyes sharp as a spear, claims that she lifted Mount Govardhana with abundant bamboos, defeated the seven bulls, and tended to numerous calves and cows like the Cowherd-Chief. It appears she is imbued with the qualities of the Lord, the Chief of Nithyasuris. What can I express about my daughter's remarkable transformation to you, the spear-eyed ladies? - Verse 7:
What can I possibly explain to you, my kin? My daughter asserts with clarity that she has no relatives, yet everyone is connected to her. She creates and destroys relationships effortlessly, embodying all roles for those who seek her wholeheartedly. It appears she is captivated by the marvelous Lord, whom no one can attain through mere self-effort. - Verse 8:
My darling speaks so gracefully, likening herself to Mukkaṭpirāṉ (Śiva), who some believe to be the Supreme Lord, Ticaimukaṉ of great renown, the revered devas, their head Indra, along with the renowned sages. Could it be that she is influenced by the illustrious Lord, whose hue resembles the color of clouds? - Verse 9:
What can I possibly tell you, persistent worldlings, about the charming behavior of my daughter, akin to a vine? She claims to distance herself from evil deeds, while those who displease her persist in them. Yet, she is also the one who absolves devotees of their grave sins and transfers them to others. She even reduced the felon's Lanka to ashes. Is she perhaps possessed by the One who carries the formidable bird on His banner? - Verse 10:
My daughter claims to embody both the enchanting cuvarkkam and the dreary hell, as well as the spiritual bliss (mōkkam) of the worldly and spiritual realms. She asserts authority over souls inhabiting various bodies and identifies with the Primordial Force, showcasing its extraordinary potential. It seems she might be influenced by the charming cloud-hued Lord. What more can I say to you all gathered here about my daughter, adorned with a beautiful garland in her locks? - Verse 11:
Those who deeply understand these ten verses, among the thousand composed by Kurukur Catakopan, honoring the Consort of the lotus-born Lakshmi and the cream of the shepherd clan, will be blessed in this world with immense devotion towards the devotees of Lord Tirumal, ensuring their rightful reverence.
