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!

Translation of Verse 5

5

திருந்தப் புவனங்க ளீன்றபொற் பாவை திருமுலைப்பால்
அருந்திச் சரவணப் பூந்தொட்டி லேறி யறுவர்கொங்கை
விரும்பிக் கடலழக் குன்றழச் சூரழ விம்மியழுங்
குருந்தைக் குறிஞ்சிக் கிழவனென் றோதுங் குவலயமே.


The Child who drank the divine milk
from the nipples of His Mother,
Mother of the perfected worlds,
climbed the floral cradle of Saravana,
and turned to the breasts
of the six maiden:
The sea weeps, the mountain weeps
and Sura weeps
with the sobs of this Child-
praised by all as "Elder of The Hills".
