thirucciRRambalam

 

Meaning:

The Atypical (Singular) Guardian;

The Medicine that cures the misery of those at the

Feet;

Born in the midst of the world leaving out all the

companies,

relations and attachments those come in the way,

controlling the sky-like (big unruly) senses inside,

changing off the benefit that is got in the bed with

ladies,

leaving out the universal and one who focuses on the

Self,

for them the greatest Company, the Lord of perumpaRRap

puliyUr, about Him, whichever days not spoken those

are

days worthless of the birth.

 

Notes:

1. Many great things the yogi saint appar brings out

in this poem. If the God is not thought about in a day

those days are just wasted. For, we have got a birth

rare to get, but when not utilized to hail the God and

get to the Bliss, what use is of this human life to

be superior to that of any other animal existence of

running behind senses?

2. "pothu n^Ikkith thanai n^inaiya" could lead to

multiple

interpretations. The devotional way could be, "leaving

out the universal things, one who thinks of the

Supreme".

The philosophers may interpret it as, "leaving out the

universal things, one who enquires (thinks) of the

self".

3. "pothu n^Ikkith thanai n^inaiya" is a very

important stage

in the spiritual progress. Even when one does bhakti

on God there may still remain universal sense. From

the

clutter of such stars when the shining of God is seen

as

the singular Sun there is the dawn. Path of wisdom

does

it by negating the illusionary things. Path of

devotion due

to the focus automatically gets rid of others.

Whichever be

the way, one finally surrenders and the ego and

rejoices

the Supreme. Salutations to that Supreme Guard in this

pursuit.
