thoo nilA muRRam - part 24 - maNNai thinRAlum maRu vELai pasikkum

vAzhvu

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

These holy souls of kumbakonam are worthy of worshipping as

they are constantly humming the "kombuthEn" Sri ArA amuthan. I will

put it in my own tamil words as follows.

 

"vanchamillA Or vAzhvu kudanthai vAzh vAzhvu

eNrum illaiyE thAzhvu, mAsaRRathOr vAzhu

mannai thinRALum maRu vElaiyum pasikkum vAzhvu

maRu piRavienum vERu malaiyudan yArukkum vAzhvu"

 

"azhagu thEr veethiyilE veerargaL

nErmai maRRum neehtiyilE chOzhargaL

anbum Atharavum tharu AthiyilEyE thOzhargaL

dEvarkkum arasargaL amuthanakku adiyArgaL"

 

Simple meaning:

 

1st Song:

 

There is no"vancham" or hatred in this life. Thiru kudanthai life

is such a life. Never there is a failure or thAzhvu in the lives of

those adiyArs of Sri ArA amuthan of thiru kudanthai. Even if they

eat they sand of thiru kudanthai such will get digested and they

will feel hungry again for the next food. This is an atttribute not

only to the holy sand of thirukudanthai but mainly to the "kaLAngam

aRRa uLLam" of those who eat such sand. For such pure hearted vAsis

of thiru kudanthai, even the sand will get digested if they are to

consume it. This vAsam of thiru kudanthai will cut off the roots

of the birth death cycle like uprooting a mountain as similar to

how Sri ArA amuthan uprootted the govardhan giri in HIS Sri Krishna

vibavam to save the Aaychiars.

 

2nd song:

They are warriors in strength when they pull the thEr or car of

Sri ArA amuthan through the holy streets of kumbakonam. (This is

the second largest "thEr" in the whole world). In honesty, and

justice they are "chOzhA kings" themselves. They provide affection

and support from the origin of our life. They are demigods for

dEvAs and celestial demigods themselves, and yet they are parama

adiyArs of Sri ArA amuthan.

note: An unfortuante reference is to be provided here. A popular

dictionary of the olden days is supposed to have a (reference) term

kumbakonian that refers to one who is basically deceptive or

cheating. Apparantly it is told that, this was an experience for

several britishers who were travelling by train passing kumbakonam

in the colonial days. It was also believed that one of the mode of

freedom fighting was such that the "occupiers" were deprived of

their possessions when ever possible. It is said that this is what

had happenned whenever these "colonial train" pulls here for a stop

in the nights on its way to Madras. However the sory goes that

those who were frequently robbed of their possessions happened to

coin a term on kumbakona vAsis.

 

What is even more troubling is that in Andra pradesh and some other

parts of the southern provinces people use kumbakonam as an

adjective for something that has gone wrong. If a food is spoiled

they would say that "sAtham kumbakonam pOcchu". Some even go

further to say that "kumbakona vElayai kAttRan". ie., He is showing

his bad tactics of kumbakonam. These are all kali's time and most

unfortunate utterings on kumbakonam and its vAsis. It is more than

certain that only when a bad time is around a person will whether

knowingly or unknowingly utter such words on kumbakonam and its

vAsis and commit a "bAgawatha apachAram" of a highest order. If

anyone of you ever come across these misnormer please correct such

atonce. Failing to correct or failing to tell the truth and going

along will also assign one with a share of such apachAram, while

telling the truth will get many puNNiyams.
