thirucciRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Those with blind-folded mind, go away!

True devotees, come fast!

Taking and Giving (brides and grooms)

generation after generation be devoted to Lord Ishvara!

Getting into the company (of devotees),

tell, "Many years", saying,

"The Thing beyond Universe!

The unlimited flood of Bliss!

The Thing That is there in the beginning, now and forever!"

 

Notes:

1. More than an individual being devoted to God,

the entire family being devoted to Lord shiva is

something very great. This uplifts a whole clan

to Bliss. Life of very many nAyanmArs, including

amarnIthi nAyanar, appUthu nAyanAr, ciRuththoNdar

and many more are glorious examples of this.

When the husband and wife with a converged mind

of love and service worship the Lord and Its devotees

that is the purpose and fruit of the house-hold life.

That is the reason here and in many other places in

thirumuRai the glory of such tradition of devotees

generation after generation in service of God is spoken.

(What if the spouse of one already married is not

having good devotion? The life of mangaiyarkkaraciyar

shows the way. It is the duty of the spouse to enlighten

the mind of the other also.)

Details of the life of nAyanmar could be found at http://www.shaivam.org/periintr.html
