Sri Sasthru sthavam praising Bala Sastha of Trayambakapuram

Sri Sasthru sthavam

By

Sengalipuram  Anantharama    Deekshithar

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

(Though  the devotees of Sastha   , praise  him as the  Lord of Trayambakapuri   many of them may not be aware about the  location  of  Trayambaka Puri.    This  place is near  Thiruvarur   of Tamilnadu   in the  Nannilam Taluq of  Tanjavur district.   This is a small village (called Erumathalai   village)   houses a very small temple of  Lord Sastha   in the form of a boy riding on an elephant apart from the famous Shiva(Trayambakeswarar ) temple  . This village   is very near   SEngalipuram .The God is called as Ayyanar or  Balasastha or Yanaimel azhagar  and is the family deity of  the Deekshithars  of  Sengalipuram. It is extremely difficult to locate this temple   and  The Great Sengalipuram Anantharama  Deekshithar   has composed   this great prayer  praising that Bala  Sastha. In 1970   when this prayer was published  one gurukkal   living  in Perumpannayoor    (Via  Kudavasal )  was looking after the temple   and doing pooja to it.Sri Aravind Subramanyam    an authority  on worship of Sastha   has  written a page   about this temple   enclosing  a  photograph of the temple  (http://shanmatha.blogspot.in/2011/11/trayambakapuram-my-favorite-temples.html . THere is also reference  to this temple in  https://shanthiraju.wordpress.com/thiruvarur/

Please chant this great  prayer  and get rid of problems created  by  Lord Saturn or Rahu or Kethu.

Sabari Malai chendral –A tamil Bhajan

Sabari Malai chendral –A tamil Bhajan

Translated by 

P.R.Ramachander

1.Sabari Malai chendraal  Sankadangal yillai,

SAsthavin munnale sodhanaigal  illai  ,

Abaya  nilai vazhangi arulvan  inba nilai,

Ayyappa  Saranam yendral   neengum thunba nilai

1.If we go to  Sabari mountain, there  is no sorrow,

Before  Sastha   there  are  no sufferings  ,

By   granting protective state , he  would give us a  state of pleasure,

If we see “I surrender to you Ayyappa”  , the state  of sorrow  would go away.

2.Nei manakkum Kovil, mei vazhiyai kattum,

Nanjaara ninaiporkku   anjathathu   thunai koottum,

Seigindra   seyal   yaavum   sirappudan mudiyum,

Saranam , Saranam  yendraal santhoshangal   nirayum.

2.The temple  with scent of ghee , would show  us the path of truth,

Those  who think about it  with full heart  , would get a fearless  assistance,

All the job that    we do would be completed   very well,

If we say “I surrender, I surrender”  to  you would be  filled with joy.

3.Irumudiyai thaangi thiru padigal    yerum  ,

Ezhaigak lin  vaazhvilinile  selvam yellam serum,

Varumai yel;lam  theerum  , Vantha  vinai maarum,

VaLLal  ayyappanin   tiruvizhi  vazhi  koorum .

3.In the life of the poor   who carry  the Irumudi(two section bundle),

Wealth   will accumulate , all poverty would go away ,

The  problems that  came would disappear  ,

And the divine eye  of  the philanthropist  Ayyappa   would point out the way.

(Here is a beautiful parayer   which is  also  philosophical.)

1.Tvatprabhu jeevapriyam ichhasi chennarahari poojaam kuru satatam
Pratibimba alamkriti dhruti kusalo bimba alamkriti maatanute
Chetobringa brhamasi vridhaa bhava marubhoomau virasaayaam
Bhaja bhaja Lakshmi Narasimha anagha pada sarasija makarandam 

1.Oh honey bee like mind  , why are  you   without any reason  moving about in the  boring desert,

Instead sing and sing about   the invaluable feet  of Lakshmi  Narasimha which is the lotus flower with honey,

 If you desire to love your   lord who is   your life’s darling, always worship   the Narasimha,

For  suppose one  artfully wants to decorate the shadow, would he not  first decorate  the original.

2.Shaktau rajata pratibhaa jaataa katakaa adyartha  samarthaa chet
Duhkhamayee te samsrutireshaa nirvritidaane nipunaa syaat
Cheto bhringa bhramasi vrithaa bhavamarubhoomau virasaayaam
Bhaja bhaja Lakshmi Narasimhaanagha padasarasija Makarandam

2. Oh honey bee like mind  , why are   you without any reason  moving about in the  boring desert,

Instead sing and sing about   the invaluable feet  of Lakshmi  Narasimha which is the lotus  flower with honey,

Would the shine of a silver seen in the shell  be capable   of making   a silver  bangle,

And similarly  is it possible   to get happiness  in the world  that is  filled with sorrow?

3. Aakriti saamyaa chhalmali kusume sthala nalinatva bhrama makaroh
Gandhara saaviha kimu vidyete viphalam shraamyasi bhoomau virasaayaam
Cheto bhringa bhramasi vrithaa bhavamarubhoomau virasaayam
Bhaja bhaja Lakshmi Narasimhaanagha padasarasija makarandam

3.Oh honey bee like mind  , why are  you without any reason  moving about in the  boring desert,

Instead sing and sing about   the invaluable feet  of Lakshmi  Narasimha which is the lotus  flower with honey,

Because  they are alike   you  are  perplexed and  believe that  a cotton flower  is a lotus flower,

Since   you would not get  scent or taste in it, you would  be  doing  fruitless   work   on this earth.

4. Srak chandana vanitaadeen vishayaan sukhadaan matvaa tathra viharase
Gandhaphalee  sadrusaa nathu themee bhogaanantara duhkha krutah syuh
Cheto bhringa!bhramasi vrithaa bhavamarubhoomau virasaayaam
Bhaja! Bhaja! Lakshmi Narasimhaanagha padasarasija makarandam

4. Oh honey bee like mind  , why are  you  without any reason  moving about in the  boring desert,

Instead sing and sing about   the invaluable feet  of Lakshmi  Narasimha which is the lotus  flower with honey ,

You are  wandering around  garlands, sandal and women thinking that  there is pleasure in them,

But like  the  wood apple though they  give pleasure to start with , later  they will cause   only sorrow.

5. Tava hitam ekam vachanam vakshye shrunu! Sukha kaamo yadi satatam
Svapne dhrishtam sakalam hi mrishaa jaagrati cha smara tadvaditi
Cheto bhringa!bhramasi vrithaa bhava marubhoomau virasaayaam
Bhaja! Bhaja! Lakshmi Narasimhaanagha padasarasija makarandam

5. Oh honey bee like mind  , why are   you without any reason  moving about in the  boring desert,

Instead sing and sing about   the invaluable feet  of Lakshmi  Narasimha which is the lotus  flower with honey ,

I would tell you a  word of good  advise to you, please hear, the pleasure and passion   that you  see in your dream,

Are  always mirages and so is the case with them  even in the state of wakefulness.

P.R.Ramachander

(The prayer touches the heart and tells  us  that surrender to Ayyappa is a better   way.)

1.Saranam Saranam Devaa   saranamayyappa,

Karuna  varenam nithyam  , Sabari gireesa.

1.I surrender, I surrender  Oh God  , I surrender  to Ayyappa.

Daily  I  need   your kindness, Lord  of Sabari mountain.

2.Nidhi kettum yennurachu  , parambugal  kuzhichu,

Karinkannu  thattumo yennavayyavabgal marachu,

Oru labham  anayaatheekkalam  jnan kazhichu  ,

Sabari gireesa  paadam  gathi yennurachu.  (Saranam , Saranam deva,,)

2.Being definite that  I would get a treasure, I dug lot of fields ,

Suspecting that  evil eye  would fall on me  , I hid all my limbs,

Without getting   any profit  I spent   all this time,

And I firmly decided that the feet of  the God of Sabarigiri  is my  refuge.(Saranam, Saranam…)

3.Pala pala swapnangal  manassingal udhichu,

Vanithakl  than meyyil  nayanangal pathichu,

Panam panam yennu vechudinamthorum chilachu,

Gunamonnum kittathen  mudi polum narachu.  (Saranam, Saranam Deva..)

3.Various and various  dreams   rose up in my mind,

My eyes fell on the   bodies  of other ladies ,

Saying money, money  , I daily chattered,

And my hairs   became  white  without getting  any benefit  .

4.Panathilum kanthayilum  sukham mennu ninachu,

Divasangalullathellam   veruthe   jnan nayichu,

Amrutham yennurachathokke  vishamai bhavichu,

Amrutholi  chitharum nin paadham   pinne  ninachu.  (Saranam, Saranam…)

4.I thought   that pleasure is there  in money  and in my wife  ,

I spent  all the days    without doing    anything,

Whatever I thought   was nectar  turned out to be poison,

And then afterwards  I thought  of your feet which  scattered nectar  like light.

5,Iniyulla kalamellam  nin kadhakal urachu,

Muni  padamanayuvaan  manssithilurachu  ,

Athinoru varam tharaan  muthiranamayya  nee,

Karuna  than samudrame, Harihara   suthane.  (Saranam, Saranam…)

5.I decided   in my mind to spend    all my remaining  time,

To tell your stories   and  trying  to become like a sage,

Oh Lord, you should  try to give a boon for that,

Oh Ocean of mercy, Oh son of Hari and Hara.

(When Lord Ayyappa  killed Mahishi, she got back her form of Yakshi and requested Lord Ayyappa to marry her. Lord Ayyappa promised her that   he will marry her  in that year when no debut  Ayyappa  comes to his temple  and asked  her to wait   for that to happen in  her temple in Sabarimala.. The debut  Ayyappa  on reaching Sabarimala  have to put an arrow on a banyan tree   at Sabari Mala called Saram Kuthiyal.  So after   the Makarajyothi  Malikapurathamma comes   in procession to Saram Kuthi   to inspect  whether there are  any new arrows  in that year. When she finds there  are new arrows she  returns back to her temple   to wait  for one more year .This song is about the procession  of Malikapurathama(the forever virgin) who comes with hope and goes back disappointed.

1.After the worship of the steps are over , the barn  is empty,

After seeing the divine flame , people have gone back,

Along with    thousands of desires in the mind ,

There is procession  of  Malikaporathamma,

There is procession to the  Saram kuthi banyan tree   (Padi pooja)

2Like the love lorn nature   of the forever virgin,  the blue sky is above,

Are you not  the chapter of action  of the  thought of the God who is  like Brahmam,

My mind which is rolling   before   the holy   steps is yet another  coconut,

Oh mother  who is forever  virgin – Oh mother are  you not tied  to the night

3.dukha chandrike poonkavanamathil sathyam allo neeyum (2)

3.Oh   sad moon light  , are you not also the truth in Poonkavanam,(the temple area in Sabari mala)

The arrows thrown by the debut  Ayyappas  ,

Have caused  the wounds  on your chest,

Please return back with pain,

WE would see  again after   another year,

Oh mother   who is forever  virgin,

I  wish you safety and peace(Padi pooja)
