nAcciyAr tirumozhi IV-kUDal izhaittal

pASuram 4.4 (fourth tirumozhi - pAsuram 4 AiccimArgaLum)

 

 

A. Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise:

 

 

Next, godai remembers kaNNan's nartanam on the venomous

hoods of the serpent kALIyan:

 

AiccimArgaLum Ayarum anjiDap

pUtta nIL kaDambu ERip pugap pAindu

vAitta kALiyan mEl naDam ADiya

kUttanAr varil kUDiDu kUDalE

 

Once upon a time, even though all the AyarpADi people

were scared, kaNNan jumped onto to the hoods of kALiyan

from the kaDambA tree branches and danced as if He was

practicing His dance. If that kaNNan is going to bless

me by merging me with Him. show me a good omen!

 

B. Some additional thoughts from SrI PVP's vyAkhyAnam:

 

pUtta nIL kaDambu: the kaDamba tree had been charred

by the venomous breath of kALiyan, but started flowering

the moment kaNNan's feet touched it. Given that the touch

of His feet could relieve ahalyA of her curse and convert

her from her stone form to her real form, it is no surprise

that the contact with His feet could restore the dead kaDamba

tree.

 

vAitta kALiyan: kALiyan is blessed because he got the

bhAgyam of having kaNNan's feet touch his head. godA

wishes that she should also be blessed with His touch.

 

kUttanAr varil: godai wishes that kaNNan should come

to her straight after His dance on kAlIyan's hoods, with

the associated exhaustion, and embrace her (so that she

has a chance to comfort Him?)
