thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Even if the One in pazanam - filled with the noise of

the cotton feather and legged swans, Who deceived me

making me loose my bangles, will not come, Oh the One

having the Feet that is the flower for the head of

appUdhi, the one who grows (ritual) fire that

threatens, drives and weakens the kali, make the lines

join !

 

(Meaning extract:

Even if the Lord of pazanam, Who deceived me making

me loose my bangles, will not come, Oh the One having

the Feet that is the flower for the head of appUdhi,

make the lines join ! (to make the circle) )

 

Notes:

1. This is one of the lively agathuRai padhikams of

thirun^Avukkarasar. It is an old custom to draw a

circle with the eyes closed, to find out whether the

beloved one will come (back). If the lines meet to

form the circle the lover will return back to her else

will not is the belief.

The lady being sung in this song is loving so much

our God that she cannot tolerate even the thought that

He will not come to her ! He is the Supreme God, so

what ? He is the One Who occupied her mind, made her

go lean making her bangles go out of her hands. Now

the feeling that that Lord will not come to her is not

something tolerable. So she pleads to God, "Even if my

sweet Lord will not come please join the lines, so

that I will live off just in the sweet memory that He

would come sometime."

2. In this song appar sings the glory of the great

devotee appUdhi aDikaLAr, who lived with unmatched

devotion to saint thirun^Avukkarasar.

3. kali - kali purushan/ evil; azal - fire; kunychi

- hair on the head; iyai - join.
