thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

We are not subjects to anybody ! We are not afraid of

death !

We will not suffer in the hell ! We do not have

deception !

We are safe-guarded ! We do not know illness ! We

won't subdue !

Every day is pleasant, no pains.

To the Lord Who is not a subject to anybody else,

to that shankara, to the King with white conch ball in

the ear, as irrevocable slaves we shrunk under the

Parallel Floral Perfect Feet !!

 

Notes:

1. A song that sprang out of the unshakable confidence

on the Supreme that serve as undrying source of

courage

and vitalization on the basis of the devotion to the

Lord.

2. When the saint who held an esteemed position in

jainism returned to the glorious path of shaivism, the

jain pallava king sent a summon to him to appear in

his court and explain. The undaunted devotee as a

response to the emperor's messengers sang this

padhikam. (So it is called maRumARRath

thiruththANDakam. maRumARRam - response.)

3. How daringly the saint responds to the emperor ?!

It would be imprudent to fight against the mighty

without proper support. The saint had the full

confidence on the Divine of the divines - the Greatest

God. Only because he asserts very clearly that he has

shrunk himself into the shelter of Lord shiva's Feet,

he very confidently says, "Whomsoever you be I can't

oblige". If his master had been one who is in turn a

slave of somebody else then when the master's state

itself is subject to somebody's mercy, how could

he be confident ? But his master is One Who has none

above or peer to Him and is a benevolent One. His

slavery is to that Master is also not a temporary one

to be transferred to an inferior one, but is an

absolute irreversible slavery. The emperor, who

without realizing the Glory behind the great

saint gave the death penalty to him, had to finally

fall at the feet of this saint with all his might

turned useless ! The determination of this sage is

certainly marvelous and inspiring !

4. kuDi - subject; n^aman - divine of death/yama;

n^aDalai - fraud; Emam - safe-guard; kOmAn - king.
