திருநாவுக்கரசர் - தேவாரம்

  
தலம்     :  ஆரூர் 
திருத்தாண்டகம் 
ஆறாம் திருமுறை.  
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்  
 
முன்னம் அவனுடைய நாமங் கேட்டாள்  
    மூர்த்தி யவனிருக்கும் வண்ணங் கேட்டாள் 
பின்னை அவனுடைய ஆரூர் கேட்டாள் 
    பெயர்த்து மவனுக்கே பிச்சி யானாள் 
அன்னையையும் அத்தனையும் அன்றே நீத்தாள் 
    அகன்றாள் அகலிடத்தார் ஆசா ரத்தை 
தன்னை மறந்தாள்தன் நாமங் கெட்டாள் 
    தலைப்பட்டாள் நங்கை தலைவன் றாளே.             6.25.7  
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of Thevaram


Earlier she heard His name. 
She heard about His being. 
Later she heard of His ArUr (abode). 
Now she became mad of Him. 
She gave up mother and father that day itself. 
Left the manners of the world. 
Forgot herself, forgot her name too ! 
The lady headed only to the Feet of the Head !! 
 
Notes


1. It is a song in which each of the lines need  
to be meditated upon to enjoy its ripe sweetness. 
It is a poem that beautifully depicts the stages 
of maturity in the love for the Supreme from its 
conception to consummation. This is a song in 
"agaththuRai". Remember the days when the mother 
folds our tender hands and says, "salute umAchchi". 
As we grow we also need to grow in devotion like 
this girl to finally head only towards the Supreme. 
Our life would be in the path of fulfillment then. 
(There are philosophical explanations to this song, 
but as this is a song appearing very simple in 
language but shows deep meanings to those who  
meditate on it, it is not dealt with here.) 
2. pichchi - mad; aththan - father;  
agaliDaththAr - people of (broad) world.
