thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Over the aged matted-hair, He has the tender young

crescent; Single hooded snake, He wore around the

waist; The Perfect One free of wrath (filth); The Lord

of thiru AppanUr - those who have the mind to hold on

to Him, would cut off the bonds with deeds (vinai /

karma).

 

Notes:

1. The poet plays with thamiz here. The Lord is

beginningless, so the hair is aged and it is "muRRuny

chaDai". The color of the matted hair is brown - the

color of the riped out things, so it is "muRRuny

chaDaimuDi". As a contradiction the moon gets to grow

only on getting the refuge in His matted hair. So it

is still budding and tender - mudhirA iLampiRai.

2. oRRaip paDavaravam .. - He has a one hooded snake

around the waist / He has only a snake around His

waist !

(c.f. aRRam maRaippadhu un paNiyE - camban^dhar).

3. ceRRam - wrath - ego - and hence the prime filth.

God is beyond the threefold filths. God is also

wrathless. How could it be, when the purANas describe

fierce God on wrong doers ? The answer lies in the

question, "Does God get pleased with the worship ?" If

the God gets pleasure by the worship Its source of

pleasure is external and hence It cannot be ever

blissful. So like the way the Formless Supreme appears

in various forms for the pashus to worship, It acts as

if It is pleased or as if It is fierce to us, but

actually It is ever in bliss.

4. thiru AppanUr - abode inside madhurai on the banks

of vaigai called thiru AppuDaiyAr kOyil.

5. arai - waist.
