Shanta Plansinis
Oh! BhAgavatas, drenched in the divine fervour (Bhagavat anubhavam), my Lord who is my father helped me as a friend and ruled me. He is my life . He who destroyed the demons scaring them with fierce arrows resides in the great Tanjai mAmaNi kOvil. Paying my obeisance to this Lord who stays in this place rich with aromatic garden and forts, I found the quintessence of the nArAyaNA nAmam. (6)
955. I have not learnt different kinds of arts or rituals (shAstras). I have been letting my mind wander to the desire of my senses. As a result I have been ignorant of all the virtues. I have been roaming, hurting all the creatures in this world. Even then with the grace of God, got retrieved of all these and found the benefits of NArAyaNA nAma for my emancipation.(8)

967. Seeing the rain laden dark clouds of TIRUPIRITI gathered in the one place, and hearing their thunder sounds, the pythons mistake them to be big elephants and rise high to grab them. Those bhAgavatas who recite this garland of 10 verses in praise of this beautiful TIRUPIRITI, composed by Kaliyan, the king of the beautiful grove-filled tirumangai, will never be affected by bad karmas. (10)
Tirumangai AzhvAr describes the travails of old age and urges us to visit BadrikAshramam, where, the Lord took the form of both AchAryan ( nArAyanan) and sishyan (naran) and did penance in these holy Himalayan mountain ranges. It is here that Lord nArAyaNa gave the ashTAkshara mantrOpadesam to Naran, and thus to the entire mankind.
Since BadrikAshramam is so far away and not an easy terrain to visit, AzhvAr says that we should visit this divyakshEtram and pay our obeisance to Him, while our limbs and other faculties are in good condition.
969. Before old age forces us to hold our bent back with one hand and hold the stick with the other hand ; before our withered body aches, eyes blur and we are racked with cough, making young women smirkingly remark how old and haggard we have become..... May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, where bees hum musically after having drunk the nectar from the flowers. Vadari vaNangudumE! (2)
970. Before our nerves show up like wound ropes, as our skin and muscles shrink; before our vision gets hazy and we are unable to walk further and start faltering... Oh Mind! Realise His glory! With immense love for Him, chanting His thousand names, may we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, where bees buzz musically. Vadari vaNangudumE! (3)
971. Before our eyes dry up and gets bleary; before we are affected by old age afflictions of bile and cough ; before our legs tangle and make us shuffle and stumble.... May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, which is surrounded by cool streams and rivers. This is the abode of the Lord, who as a young boy, grazed the cows and lifted the lofty Govardhana mountain. Vadari vaNangudumE! (4)
972. Having wasted all our youth in frivolous pleasures, even in old age, as we cough incessantly, we still boast about how we were sought many young ladies. Before our walk falters and we are forced to use the stick to help us walk... May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, who wears the cool tulasi garlands with bees buzzing around it. Vadari vaNangudumE! (5)
973. Before our speech gets slurred and our body is racked by phlegmatic cough; before our body shrinks and we start babbling due to mental instability... May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, who is indeed my swAmi, my revered father, the omniscient. He is the one who churned the milky ocean and is the collyrium coloured EmperumAn. Vadari vaNangudumE! (6)
974. Before the dainty ladies remark in disgust at the way we have become old and are racked by phlegmatic cough; before these women mock at our incapacitated existence.... May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, who is our precious wealth and the one who is the cause for our life! Vadari vaNangudumE! (7)
975. The women with beautiful eyes like the kuvaLai flowers shun us and exclaim, " Get away! Don't remain here! You have become thin and lustre-less. You cough incessantly!" If we finally realise that the association with the ladies only brought us disrepute and we yearn to mend our ways. May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari, who wears the cool, fragrant tulasi garland. Vadari vaNangudumE! (8)
976. Before our organs start failing; before we become senile and our senses become slurred, constantly spitting the phlegm collecting in our chest; before we start babbling irrelevantly. May we pay obeisance to Shri Vadari for whom true devotees make garlands of the cool, fragrant tulasi. May we chant His sahasranAma, dance and sing His glory. Vadari vaNangudumE! (9)
977. The king of Mangai city (surrounded by taazhai bushes), has strung this garland of verses on SarvEshwaran, Shri BadrinArAyanan of Vadari, where bees buzz after drinking the nectar. Those devotees who sing, dance and enjoy this devotional experience, will definitely attain Paramapadam and nothing less. (10)
He is none other than my celebrated swAmi! BrahmA, who was born in the honey dripping lotus, and all the dEvas visit this shrine often, to pay obeisance to the Badri emperumAn, who resides on the banks of the sacred Ganges, that flows from the AkAsha. (2)

980. In the rAmAvatAra, He destroyed and annihilated the rAkshasa clan, led by their valiant (arum thuppu) and wealthy rAvaNa, the king of LankA, surrounded by the Southern seas. ( Wealthy, because he looted kubEra's twin wealth, the Sanga nidhi and Padma nidhi ( iru nidhi)).
