from Sri Ramana Teachings · host Sri Ramana Center of Houston

In a Zoom meeting with Sri Ramana Center, Houston, on 3rd Februari 2024, Michael James discusses Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu Anubandham, verse 11. The following is Michael's translation of this verse: பிறந்த தெவன்றன் பிரம்மமூ லத்தே பிறந்ததெவ ணானென்று பேணிப் — பிறந்தா னவனே பிறந்தா னவனிதமு னீச னவனவன வன்றினமு நாடு.   piṟanda devaṉḏṟaṉ birammamū lattē piṟandadeva ṇāṉeṉḏṟu pēṇip — piṟandā ṉavaṉē piṟandā ṉavaṉitamu ṉīśa ṉavaṉavaṉa vaṉḏṟiṉamu nāḍu.   பதச்சேதம்: பிறந்தது எவன்? தன் பிரம்ம மூலத்தே பிறந்தது எவண் நான் என்று பேணி பிறந்தான், அவனே பிறந்தான். அவன் நிதம், முனீசன். நவன் நவன் அவன் தினமும்; நாடு.   Padacchēdam (word-separation): piṟandadu evaṉ? taṉ biramma mūlattē piṟandadu evaṇ nāṉ eṉḏṟu pēṇi piṟandāṉ, avaṉē piṟandāṉ. avaṉ nitam, muṉīśaṉ. navaṉ navaṉ avaṉ diṉamum; nāḍu.   அன்வயம்: பிறந்தது எவன்? நான் பிறந்தது எவண் என்று பேணி தன் பிரம்ம மூலத்தே பிறந்தான், அவனே பிறந்தான். அவன் நிதம், முனீசன். அவன் தினமும் நவன் நவன்; நாடு.   Anvayam (words rearranged in natural prose order): piṟandadu evaṉ? nāṉ piṟandadu evaṇ eṉdṟu pēṇi taṉ biramma mūlattē piṟandāṉ, avaṉē piṟandāṉ. avaṉ nitam, muṉīśaṉ. avaṉ diṉamum navaṉ navaṉ; nāḍu.   English translation: Who was born? Carefully investigating where I was born, one who was born in one’s source, brahman, he alone is one who was born. He is eternal, the Lord of sages. He is daily new-new. Investigate.   Explanatory paraphrase: Who was [really] born? One who was born in [and as] one’s source, brahman, [being firmly established there by] carefully [tenderly or lovingly] investigating [oneself, the source] where I [namely ego, the rising ‘I’, which is what is always aware of itself as ‘I am this aging and perishable body’] was born, he alone is one who was [really] born. He is eternal [being immortal, imperishable and immutable], muṉīśaṉ [the Lord of sages]. He is daily [or always] new and fresh [being the ageless and ever-fresh awareness ‘I am’]. Investigate [yourself and be born thus as brahman].   Note: See Bhagavan’s verses on birthday celebrations, where the context in which he wrote this verse is explained: https://happinessofbeing.blogspot.com/2020/12/bhagavans-verses-on-birthday.html This episode can also be watched as a video here and a more compressed audio copy in Opus format (which can be listened to in the VLC media player and some other apps) can be downloaded from here.
