Rudran

 

sakala prAnigalaiyum samharikkum thozhilai udayavanAi vidAyar mugathilae

neruppai chorinthArpolE thazhalniravannanAi thannai Asrayippavargalai aruthu

tha porithu tha endru kodum thozhil seyvadhAlum

 

Rudran's job is to get involved in destruction, and hence there is an inherant

ambienece of sorrow while performing this activity. Also, the bhaktas of rudran

get involved in strenuos physical means like walking on fire etc... unlike

Vishnu bhkatas.

 

Infact, Vishnu bhaktas always enjoy the kaimkaryam as they get involved in

goshti followed by prasadam. They dont even have to take shower in the middle

of the day again unlike the shiva bhaktas. They need to get ready for the next

goshti during the utsavam, and hence have to make sure they have their thrumann

kAppu on their forehead.

 

Swami PL also refers to the story from periya puranam on Siruthonda nayanar. He

was commanded by rudran to have to cook pillaikkari. Swamy PL refers to rudran

as thazhalnira vannan as agaist mugivannan for Perumal. Thazhal niram refers to

the colour of heat. Hence it is always not suited where as mugilniram refers to

coolness that suits every one.

 

Two Divya Desam Perumals were called as Mugilvannan by NammAzhwar in

ThirvAymozhi. Azhwar calls Srirangam Perumal as Mugilvannan in his phalasruti

pasuram (7.2). Immediately, in the next ten pasurams, Azhwar calls the Perumal

of ThenthiruppErai as Nigaril Mugilvannan (7.3)

 

"Nigaril Mugilvannan nEmiyAn en nenjam kavarndhu enai oozhiyAnE"

 

Krishna bhaktas are always under the cool shade Him unlike the souls that worship rudran.

 

We will contiune with the case of rudran further in the next posting...
