thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

The unequalled gruesome ghosts beating

one another and shouting together, the birds (of

the cremation ground) singing, fox making the sound

of the string instrument yAz, the Lord dances at

thiruvAlaN^kADu. On that Lord, whoever sings these ten

 

songs said by the ghost of kAraikkAl, they would get

to

civagadhi and enjoy the bliss.

 

Notes:

1. kAraikkAl ammaiyAr was the first one to compose

hymns in the style of padhikam. It became very popular

through thEvAram authors. She also signed all the

compositions with kaDaikkAppu - referring to herself

as the "pEy of kAraikkAl" and also mentioning the

benefits one get by hailing God through these hymns.

As these compositions of ammaiyAr pioneered this type

of songs, they are called "mUththa thiruppadhikam".

This verse is a kaDaikkAppu from one of the

thiruvAlaN^kATTu mUththa thiruppadhikam.

2. okkaliththu - okkak kaliththu - shouting together;

pagaNDai - a bird.
