Following is an extract from,

The four faces of Tumburu--I have already tried

to establish that the four Tantrik texts sirascheda,

vinasikha, sammohana and nayottara mentioned in the

inscription of Sdok Kak Thom were authentic

Saivasastras being studied in India in the 7th and

8th centuries A.D. if not earlier. These texts

constituted the "vaktracatuskam"(1) of the god

 

----------------------

1. We have now a definite text before us which

supports the. identification of Tumburu with Siva.

In the Yogavasisttha-Ramayana (Nirvana-prakarana,

I. xviii 23-26), compiled before the 9th century

A.D., we find the following verses:

 

ity astaisvarya-yuktas ta mataro raudra-cesthitah/

kadacinmilita vyomni sarvah kenapi hetuna//

utsavam paramam cakruh paramarthaprakasakam/

vamasrotogata etas Tumburum Rudram asritah//

pujayitva jagatpujyau devau Tumburu-Bhairavau/

vicitrarthah kathas cakrur-madira-madatositah//

 

These things are spoken of the eight matrkas who

were one day out for amusement. They are here

characterised as the followers of the left current

(vamasrotogata) and related to Rudra who is Tumburu

i.e. the Tumburu aspect of Rudra (Tumburum Rudram).

The eight-matrkas are here made to worship the two

gods Tumburu and Bhairava. This passage clearly

mentions Tumburu as an aspect of Rudra. It should

also be noted that Siva is often referred to in the

inscrip-

 

p. 104

 

Tumburu and were introduced in Kambuja for

establishing the mystic rites known as devaraja

(siddhih........ devarajabhikhya). Tumburu evidently

had some sort of connection with the Devaraja cult.

Devaraja was a phallic representation (lingaraja) of

Siva--and we have already seen that Tumburu was an

emanation of Siva himself.

Thanks a ton, tht really helped.

 

I saw a movie yesterday in E TV, ie., Narada muni and Tumburu muni

have an argument, the argument is for getting the Kanaka Veena of

Devi.

They both argue and state themselves to be great in music, and

Hanuman is called upon to judge the same.

 

But i remember my granny telling that Narada muni and Tumburu muni go

proud and state they are better veena players and have a competition,

Where Hanuman is the judge and he asked them both to play the veena

after the frets were removed, which the fail and Hanuman himself

plays the veena which is now called the Gotu Vadyam and the raga he

played as Hanuma Todi.

 

Please let me know if i am correct.

 

Regards,

 

Aparajit.

 

[Namaste, That is very interesting. However, I think the Tumburu mentioned in

the links is different(someone can correct me here) from the Tumburu muni. The

Tumburu mentioned below is a form of Shiva. - Satish]
