Meaning of Thevaram

  
Even if the One in pazanam - filled with the noise of the 
cotton feather and legged swans, Who deceived me making  
me loose my bangles, will not come, Oh the One having the 
Feet that is the flower for the head of appUdhi, the one  
who grows (ritual) fire that threatens, drives and weakens 
the kali, make the lines join ! 
 
(Meaning extract: 
Even if the Lord of pazanam, Who deceived me making  
me loose my bangles, will not come, Oh the One having the 
Feet that is the flower for the head of appUdhi, make the  
lines join ! (to make the circle) ) 
 
Notes

  
1. This is one of the lively agathuRai padhikams of  
thirun^Avukkarasar. It is an old custom to draw a circle  
with the eyes closed, to find out whether the beloved one 
will come (back). If the lines meet to form the circle  
the lover will return back to her else will not is the 
belief.  
   The lady being sung in this song is loving so much 
our God that she cannot tolerate even the thought that 
He will not come to her ! He is the Supreme God, so what ? 
He is the One Who occupied her mind, made her go lean  
making her bangles go out of her hands. Now the feeling  
that that Lord will not come to her is not something 
tolerable. So she pleads to God, "Even if my sweet Lord 
will not come please join the lines, so that I will 
live off just in the sweet memory that He would come 
sometime." 
2. In this song appar sings the glory of the great  
devotee appUdhi aDikaLAr, who lived with unmatched 
devotion to saint thirun^Avukkarasar. 
3. kali - kali purushan/ evil; azal - fire; kunychi 
- hair on the head; iyai - join.
