Pasurams for the Lord at Thiruvananthapuram.

Nammalwar is the only alwar to have sung pasurams to this Lord at Thiruvananthapuram.
in 3678.
he request the devotees to go to the Lord at Thiruvanantapuram and if obstacles come just mention Kesava and even Yama cannot come near you.
he uses the words"Kootrin tamargalum kuruga gillaar" the alwar says Kesava nama sankirtana will obviate experiencing the troubles associate with hell.
he also uses Vida mudai aravil refering to the divine serpant Adisesha as a venomous serpent. and the myraid kainkaryam he performs to the lord the only nitya suri not ever to get separated from the Lord. he says Adisesha is the yellow Peethamba cloth worn by the Lord, he is also the sandal worn by the lord when he walks, he is the bed when he lies down, he is also the chair on which the Lord sits, he is also the umbrella when the Lord walks for ever protecting the Lord. He is the inseparable from the Lord.
in 3679.
he uses the wordsUllu vaarku refering devotion through meditation, through mind body and tongue to recite at least a few names of the Lord at Thiruvanantapuram which is equivalent to reciting the Sahasranamam, and that not only one would reach the holy shrine but also be assured of Paramapada. he uses the word Poi pugutheer, the walking to the temple itself involving the body and the mind he is sure to think of only the Lord when one visits this magnificent temple.
in 3680
the alwar says that all ills and sins will get wiped out if with unswerving devotion and single minded attention you reach Thiruvanantapuram and offer supreme devotion to the Lord who resides there. He has Garuda as Vahanam and also on his flag mast. he is the same who during the deluge swallowed the worlds and kept them safe within him and later brought it out to continue this creation. he pleads with the devotees to please take at least any one of his thousand names and assures them that it would rid them of all their ills. he uses "Theeyinil doosaagum seppu" saying just like the cotton when ablaze is completely consumed with out any trace so to on taking the Lords name all sins will get destroyed thus proving the efficacy of chanting the Lords name.
in 3681
he says Oh ye men without any hesitation, proclaim loudly that those who are able to worship and shower flowers on the Lord who resides in Thiruvanantapuram, surrounded by the sea and full of luscious fields and scented flower groves are indeed very fortunate. he wonder what is the good deed they have done to merit such fortune?
in 3682
he says oh ye men I categorically with conviction affirm that those who worship the twin lotus feet of the Lord at Thiruvanantapuram full of scented groves, are equal to Nityasuris in being able to enjoy the divine presence. here he uses "Ennumin entha namam" there are no limitations of either time or any other constraints for repeating the Thirunamam of the Lord. he goes on to say the desire itself is sufficient to put an end to the cycle of births and deaths thus further proclaming the benifits of reciting the Lords Thirunamam. Patram, pushpam, phalam, toyam. conveying that ordinary flowers fruits water or even leaves are gladly accepted by the Lord and no costly ingredients are necessary to pray to the Lord. (mud flowers were accepted too)
in3683
if you worship the lord at Thiruvantapuram you will get qualified to render antharanga kainkiarya to the Lord he uses the word "Amarar aai Thirginraarkatku"  and "Amarar kone archikinru angu" and also "Naamum poi naduga vendum" Shiva Brahma Visvaksena and others also come to worship the lord here. he also seems to tell that the nitya suris worship him through the mukha dwara Brahma and other gods through the madya or middle dwara and the devotees of the world through the Pada dwara.
in 3684
by sprinkaling scented water making colourful kolams cleaning up the temple precincts will make one eligible for moksa. even today people perform the cleaning task in spirit and honour the words of Nammalwar. he uses the words "Pambanai male pallikondar" he says the Lord in the Yoga nidra pose is all the time contemplating as to how to safeguard and protect the world that he himself has created.
in 3685
here he says ye men go and worship the feet of the Anantha Padmanabha ye sure will be rid of all of your sins. he uses the words "Kodi vinai kadayal aagum" even the worst of the sins will be redeemed with the Lord's help here. he also says "Kaamanai payantha kaalai" "Naam umakku ariya sonnome" manmadha the son of Rukmini and Krishna has the quality of being ever youthful and beautiful also called Pradyumna.
an interesting story.
It is said that Manakkal Nambi the sishya of Naathamuni taught Alavandar all the basic tenets of Vaishnavism. and he advised him to go to Kurugai Kaavalappan and learn through him the yoga rahasyas. Alavandar accordingly went to requested Kurugai Kaavalappan to teach him he was advised to come at a later date. meantime Alavandar went to Srirangam and it was the time of Adyayana utsavam here he was enjoying the Araiyar sevai and listening to the beautiful pasurams the lines "Ezhil ani Ananthapuram oadumudai aravill palli payinravan paadam Kaana nadamino Namargalulleer naam umakku ariya sonnom." which on account of his deep concentration seemed to be repeating itself in his minds eye and therefore giving him a message to go to Thiruvananthapuram. once there our Alwar lost himself in service to the lord and the appointment with Kurugai Kavalappan too forgotten.
in3686 and 3687
he is in an urgent need to convey the message to all humanity that they have to approach the Lord in the temple and seek his blessings. itseems as if the Alwar is aware of his time on earth coming to a close and with his last words too wants to fulfill his purpose of living among mortals, drawing them too to see the Magnificent Lord at Thiruvananthapuram.
in 3688
The phala stuthi sloka emphasising that those who recite thses 10 verses and worship the Lord at Thiruvananthapuram will indeed be enjoying the union with the Lord in Paramapada too.
3794:##
ketum idaraayavellaam* kEchavaa venna* naaLum-
kotuvinai seyyum* kooRRin thamargaLum kuRukakillaar*
vidamudai aravilpaLLi* virumpinaan surumpalaRRum*
thadamudai vayal* anandhapura_nagarp pukuthuminRE.  (2) 10.2.1

1. Just Call lovingly "Kesavaa!" once. All sorrows will disappear. Even
the terrific yama kimkarars (Yama's men) get shivers when they hear
"Kesavan" name and will not come near us. Hence, We will reach today
itself such Emperumaan's place Thiruvananthapuram where He has, most
willingly, out of His own desire, appeared and be present Permanently.
Thiruvanathapuram is the place where Emperumaan has the venomous
AdhisEshan as His bed and reclines on it. Let us reach that beautiful
Divya dEsam today. (Right now!)

3795:

2. At Thiruvananthapuram, tall, huge, mountain like buildings are there;
Nearby lots of trees, lots of fragrant flowers, and most beautiful gardens
are there. If you reach such a beautiful Divya dEsam, you will never get
in any of your future births at all. Every name of the Lord who is here at
this sthalam, is capable of granting you fruits equivalent to the thousand
names of His. Hence, those who recite His name at this place, this place
itself is Paramapadham (Sri Vaikuntam).

3796:
oorumput kodiyum aqthE* ulakellaam undumizndhaan*
chErum thaNNanandhapuram* sikkenap pukuthiraakil*
theerum_nOy vinaikaLellaam* thiNNa_naam aRiyachchonnOm*
pErum OraayiraththuL* onRu_neer pEchuminE. 10.2.3

3. Emperumaan has the Strongest GarudA as His vaahanam. The same GarudA-
he has as His flag for His chariot. The Bhagawaan, who ate and brought the
universe back, after the PraLayam (Cosmic cycle) is here most gracefully
presenting Himself at Thiruvananthapuram. If you enter into this Divya
dEsam, all diseases, all sins, will immediately evaporate.  Let me tell
you all one thing firmly and decisively. Enjoy His Greatness and kalyANA
guNAs by uttering at least one of His Greatest unparalleled, unmatched
Names.

3797:

nEchaNYcheythu uRaikinRaanai* neRimaiyaal malargaLthoovi*
poochanai seykinRaargaL* puNNiyam seythavaaRE. 10.2.4

4. Thiruvanathapuram is hugged by the vast deep ocean waters; Most
fragrant gardens surrounding the paddy fields are filled entirely in this
fertile Divya dEsam. Offer flowers and perform Thiruvaaraadhanam as per
saashthrAs to this Bhagawaan, who, most willingly shows Himself, at this
sthalam. Those who do that are blessed ones. And please do not feel shy or
ashamed of talking about such puNyavaans (blessed people) and their
bhAgyams.

3798:
puNNiyam seythu* _nalla punalotu malargaLthoovi*

thiNNam_naam aRiyachchonnOm* seRipozil anandhapuraththu*
aNNalaar kamalapaatham* aNukuvaar amararaavaar. 10.2.5

5. Have unalloyed deep, sincere bhakti on Emperumaan and offer pure water
and flowers in your arcchanai and think of His Names. Such a thought and
prayer will remove this birth cycle. Those who reach the Lotus Feet of
Thiruvananthapiram Emperumaan will become NityasUris for sure. It is
definite and have no doubts about it. We have told this assertively in
order to let everyone know of this great factual truth.

3799:

kumaranaar thaathai* thunbam thudaiththa kOvindhanaarE. 10.2.6

6. This Emperumaan- Govindhan- is the One who removed the sin of
SubrahmaNyan's Father, Sivan (refer recent posts on 5th head of BrahmA!).
He is such Greatest Supreme Lord of all. Those who call themselves as
Devas also pay obeisance to Him as their Lord. Such Primordial Chief is
present here majestically and permanently at Thiruvananthapuram and is
worshiped even by VishvaksEnar (Senai Mudali) at this Divya sthalam. Even
NiyasUris and Mukthars, likewise, perform their kaimkaryams, to this Lord
here. Oh My DEAREST BHAAGAWATHAAS!  Listen to me please! Let us also join
these NityasUris and involve ourselves deeply in Bhgawath Kaimkaryams.

madaiththalai vaaLaipaayum* vayalaNiyanandhapuram*
kadaiththalai seeykkappeRRaal* kaduvinai kaLaiyalaamE. 10.2.7

7. This Emperumaan- Govindhan- is the One who creates all the worlds, all
beings, all demi Gods, and everything - is the One who re-creates all of
these again after MahApraLayam. He is The Grandest and Greatest Primordial
Lord. Such Supreme Lord, is so simple to offer Himself for us at this
place for us, (the Greatest and Grandest mahA Sinners) to have such an
easy accessibility to Him here at Thiruvananthapuram. He reclines so
beautifully on AdhisEshan as Hs Bed. IF WE GO HERE (THIRVANDRUM) AND DO
SOME MOPPING WORK AND CLEANING UP KAIMKARYAM AT THE TEMPLE ENTRANCE, ALL
OUR IRREMOVABLE SINS WILL SIMPLY DISAPPEAR. (Dearest Sisters and Brothers!
Read the message! We shall perform such mopping, cleaning kaimkaryams at
temples- Sri yathirAjar was performing the kaimkaryam of bringing well
water to the temple. We should NEVER EVER think that it is not the work of
one who knows so much slOkams, has done kaalakshEpams, etc.. etc.. or one
who has earned so much dollars, or in a respected high post (manager) in a
firm - how can "we" do such cleaning the dirt from temples? No! what will
others think of me?. Great jnAni, BhakthA, Our kulapathi NammAzhwAr, our
Dearest AchAryA Sri rAmAnujAchAryA have advised  and done that. Where are
we? Are we learned( poginRa jnAnam? Pollaa ozhukkam?), wealthy? (naasthi
pithuraarjitham kinchith namayaa kinchithaarjitham).

3801:
kaduvinai kaLaiyalaakum* kaamanaip payandhakaaLai*
idavakai kondathenbar* ezilaNiyanandhapuram*
padamudaiyaravil paLLi* payinRavan paathamkaaNa*
nadaminO namargaLuLLeer!* naam umakkaRiyach chonnOm. 10.2.8

8. Bhagawaan- The Father of Manmathan (Cupid), is staying permanently at
this beautiful Divya dEsam Thiruvanathapuram. He is reclining on the Bed
of AdhisEshan here. To see His Lotus Feet and pay obeisance to Him , all
of you!  my dear ones! proceed towards this place. If you do that, the
enormous amounts of sins that you have accrued over the ages can simply
vanish. I just want to let you all know that.

3802:
naam umakku aRiyachchonna* naaLkaLum naNiyavaana*
chEmam naNnkudaiththukkandeer* seRipozilanandhapuram*
thooma_nal viraimalargaL* thuvaLaRa aayndhukondu*
vaamanan adikkenRu eththa* maayndhaRum vinaikaLthaamE. 10.2.9

9. FOR ALL OF YOU (Dearest Sisters and Brothers), THE FINAL DAYS ON DEATH
BED ARE FAST APPROACHING! This lovely Divya dEsam Thiruvananthapuram can
do good to us and protect us. You can really experience it here. Hence,
collect fragrant flowers, some incense sticks sincerely, without any
faults, and worship Him and pay obeisance to this Lord of
Thiruvanathapuram, by placing those flowers at the Lotus feet of Sri
Anantha PadmanAbhan, who came as Vaamanan. If you all do that, all paapams
will automatically vanish.

3803:
maayndhaRum vinaikaLthaamE* maathavaa enna* naaLum-
Eyndhapon mathiL* anandhapura nagarendhaikkenRu*
chaandhotu viLakkamthoopam* thaamarai malargaL_nalla*
aayndhukoNtu Eththavallaar* andhamil pukazinaarE. 10.2.10.

10. If you call Emperumaan as "MADHAVAA!", the same moment, all your sins
will disappear. Hence, those who can gather pure Sandal, Lotus flowers,
incense sticks, and a ViLakku (lamp), go daily to Thiruvanathapuram,
(which is surrounded by tall ramparts), and pay obeisance to the Lord
Emperumaan AnanthapadmanAbhan, will attain limitless, unbounded fame and
state.

3804:##
andhamil pukaz* anandhapura nagar aathithannai*
kondhalar pozil* kurukoor maaRan chollaayiraththuL*
aindhinOtu aindhumvallaar* aNaivar_pOy amarulakil*
paindhodi madandhaiyar_tham* vEymaru thOLiNaiyE.  (2) 10.2.11

11. The unbounded, limitless Greatest Lord Emperumaan is gracefully and
permanently staying in this Divya dEsam of Thiruvanathapuram and He is the
Primordial Chief and is the Parama Purushan. Sri SadagOpar of
Thirukkurugoor has song these ten (out of his 1000 pAsurams) pAsurams on
Thiruvananthapuram Emperumaan Sri AnanathaPadmanAbhan. Those who read
these ten ARE SURE TO ATTAIN SRIVAIKUNTAM and attain Nitya vibhUtI at the
end of their present lives. There (at Sri vaikuntam), they will be served
by Devamaathar (ladies in Deva lOkam) who have beautiful bamboo like
shoulders. (means: They all will be served with reverence, sincerity  and
affection, love by Deva maathargaL. However,  AARaayirappadi vyAkhyAnam
interprets little differently and in a beautiful manner: In as much as the
loving husbands are served lovingly, affectionately by their beautiful
wives, the readers of these ten will be served at Srivaikuntam.)
