thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

If You say, this deed (undergoing sufferings/benefits

got) are the result of the old deeds (karma - deeds

done by one in the past), is it not a flaw for You not

to provide a path of rescue ? We, devotees worship You

with the service of our hands, the fruits of the

action not touch us ! thirunIlakaNTam !!

 

Notes:

1. When the young saint and the other devotees were

pilgrimaging in kongu state (western tamilnadu), the

accompanying devotees were severly affected by the

cold viral fever. The loveful sambandhar sang this

padhikam, praying to the Lord to save the devotees

from calamities, because they have completely devoted

their lives in the Lord's service and they have no

refuge other than the God. By the Grace of God the

fever of the devotees was cured and they continued

their service.

2. This is a song of very deep meaning. It should not

be misinterpretted. One has to undergo the effects of

the actions he/she performs. This applies to all. But

as per Shaivism apart from the three - doer, deed &

fruit of the deed - there is a giver, which is the God

who has the overall authority over the system. What

sambandhar prays for is the case of the matured

devotees who in a complete selfless mode "devoted"

themselves to the Lord. This needs to be well

understood. (The president of India has all the right

quash the death order given by the court. But if one

assumes that he is going to apply this to all, may end

up in the gallows !)

3. This padhikam is sung for the betterment from viral

sufferings, for relief from evil forces (pilli,

suniyam) and for the betterment of younger brothers.

(The complete padhikam is available through http://www.shaivism.org/pal.htm)

I said I gave my body - became far off from guru's teachings

I said I gave my mind - became far off from the linga

I said I gave my wealth - became far off from the devotees
