thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Oh the pure hearted devotees who investigated

into the meanings of the shrutis (vedas) that rule

over the words ! Do not get lured into the narrow

paths of small divines that fade away in short time.

Hail the Lovely One with the king of bows - the

golden mEru bow, the Rider of bull, the One

Who is even beyond the term "long live", hail Him

of longevity !

 

Notes:

1. vEdas are full of mantras. mantras are very

powerful words. They provide great powers when

they are chanted. That is the reason people take

very much care not to alter in any way even to the

small extent the way the veda mantras are chanted.

So cEn^dhanAr refer to vEdhas full of such mantras

as "collANDa curuthi".

2. The devotees who seek the Supreme Truth dwell

into the deeper meaning of the vedas. Such

investigation would reveal the Supreme Qualities of

Lord shiva. Having obtained the hold of the Supreme

Being, the devotee should not be lured away by the

momentary glitters that provide short term narrow

contoured benefits, but should seek the Supreme

that is in fact the Master of everything/every divine

(parameshwara).

3. God is kAlakAla. It is beyond the time. It does

not have beginning or end. So the author refers to

the fact that word, "long live" itself ceases to have

the usual meaning when hailing our Lord. Such Lord

we hail "long live" (out of our love).

4. curuthi - vedas (shR^iti); kanakam - gold;

viDaN^gan - lovely; padham - word/meaning.
