thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Singing the Lord, Who has the pretty moon as a snare

(in the garland), along with the daughter of the

king of mounts, carrying water in time (for worship)

they enter and I enter following them. Without any

trace as I entered thiruvaiyARu, saw the male elephant

coming with its loving pair.

Saw Their Holy Feet, the Unseen I saw !!

 

Notes:

1. This very renowned song is sung by the saint,

as he saw the glorious scene of God and Goddess

of kayilai appeared in front of him at thiruvaiyARu.

The saint was in his pursuit to worship the

Seat of Lord at Mount Kailash. He went ahead in the

mountains not bothering about the body getting torn

off. The Lord Who probably wanted to show the world

an easy way to worship kailash, out of the austerities

of saint appar, redirected him to take a dip in the

nearby pool and come out at thiruvaiyARu. The flawless

sage came out of the pond in thiruvaiyARu with a

flawless body and saw the splendid scene of kayilAyam

appearing in thiruvaiyARu itself !

2. The internal reference to the above episode is

in the song itself as, "yAdhum chuvaDu paDAmal aiyARu

aDaikinRa pOdhu".

3. pOdhu could also be interpreted as flower. Then

the meaning would be "They enter with flower and water

(for worship)."

4. mAdhar - beautiful; kaNNi - snares in the garland;

chuvaDu - footprint/trace; piDi - female elephant;

kaLiRu - male elephant;
