thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

The devotees (servants) holding back the five

elephants

(senses), with the flowers on which the bees ring

around making garlands, worship there, they say !

Bees sing; peacocks dance; deer-cubs jump;

striped keNDai fishes zip through; in the tanks

blue buds bloom - such a place is thirukkEdhAram.

 

Notes:

1. All the five senses - they are very immense and

powerful - so powerful that they can tramp the

individual held hostage to them - they are like the

gigantic elephants. By doing service to Lord shiva at

thirukkEdhAram, the wise devotees have their senses in

control - that they serve like the tamed elephants, as

the devotee converges in the Lord's feet.

c.f. patanjali yogasUtra - ways of achieving focus of

mind.

2. The floral worship is a great form of praying and

it

is praised across thirumuRai and other scriptures.

3. cambandhar physically did not go to kEdhAram when

he

sang this padhikam. From thirukkALaththi itself he

sang

the Lord of thirukkEdhAram. Exclaiming the service the

devotees do even in the extreme terrain, as heard from

the fellow devotees, he sang. The word, "enbarAl" to

be noted in this context.

4. kaLiRu - male elephant; curumbu - bee;

iNDai - garland; Ala - dance; alarum - bloom.
