thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Holy Ash is the mantra; Holy Ash is over the

celestials (devas); Holy Ash is the charm; Holy Ash is

the adorable; Holy Ash is the tantra (Agama); Holy Ash

is in the religion (rituals); It is the Holy Ash of

the Lord of thiruvAlavAy (madhurai), Who in His part

of the body has the Goddess uma of ruby red lips.

 

Notes:

1. This was the song sung by the saint applying Holy

Ash to cure the disease of pANDya emperor.

2. Holy Ash is one of the most adored ornaments of

devotees. Lord shiva being the form of Supreme Flame

(worshipped as shiva lingam), the ornament on It is

the Holy Ash. The Lord danced "pANDaraN^gam" on the

field of ash after burning the tripuras. Articles on

the glory of Holy ash can be found at

http://www.shaivam.org/shpash.htm.

3. This padhikam is sung when taking the Holy Ash to

smear. (The complete padhikam is available at

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

There is nothing more disasterous than the disaster I got ito by saying "I did

for You", kUDalasangamadEva ! - basavaNNa
