My Blog List

This is not exactly an exegesis of Kandharalangaram. A friend, who is more a path-breaker for me, suggested some time ago that I should read this great text. Now I start with Thirumuruga Kirubhanandha Variar's commentary, and here are my reflections on this great poetic and devotional work of Arunagirinathar. May the Lord bless us with Peace and Happiness!

A translation verse 1

2.

பேற்றைத் தவஞ்சற்று மில்லாத வென்னைப் ப்ரபஞ்ச மென்னும்
சேற்றைக் கழிய வழிவிட்ட வாசெஞ் சடாடவிமேல்
ஆற்றைப் பணியை யிதழியைத் தும்பையை யம்புலியின்
கீற்றைப் புனைந்த பெருமான் குமரன்க்ரு பாகரனே.


Undeserving,
Absolutely without discipline,
I was bogged down in worldiness-
In a morass, as it were,
Encrusted in slush-,
You made way for me,
You Compassionate One,
Son of Him who in His red, matted locks,
For ornament, adorns himself
With the river, snake, flowers and the crescent moon.
