thirucciRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Even after seeing the golden, great diamond like,

great gemlike (glorious) thirukkayilAyam,

as an ignoble the demon when hastened and heaved,

as the umA got frightened, the Master Who stood as

blemish free, when set (His toe), fell down screaming.

Had He firmly kept, there would be no review of it.

 

Notes:

1. When rAvaraNan put together all his strength to

uproot the kailAs, the Lord slightly kept a finger down

and the daemon crumbled and screamed so pathetically

that he got the name rAvaNan. He later pleaded to God

for forgiveness and got Its blessings too.

If the God had kept the finger down firmly, the demon

would have got destroyed on the spot and there would

be nobody to even give a look of contradiction, forget

questioning the Lord! Being the Almighty, It can do

anything. But It does not. It rules by the justice and

feeds only those justice that is appropriate and also

in the appropriate time and fashion, and all above

with the purpose to correct the soul only. It has never

an intention of punishing the soul. (If not what is the point

in calling It extremely merciful?)

2. kanakam - gold; unagan - mean fellow; anagan - unblemished;

managanAy - man aganAy - with firm will.
