திருஞானசம்பந்தர் - திருக்கடைக்காப்பு

    
தலம்     :  பொது 
பண்     :  கௌசிகம் 
மூன்றாம் திருமுறை.  
 
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்  
 
காத லாகிக் கசிந்துகண் ணீர்மல்கி 
ஓது வார்தமை நன்னெறிக் குய்ப்பது 
வேதம் நான்கினும் மெய்ப்பொரு ளாவது 
நாதன் நாமம் நமச்சி வாயவே.

Meaning of Thevaram

  
Out of deep love melting, tears brimming  
one who chants, the Thing that elevates them to  
the auspicious path, the Truth that is established 
by the four vedhas, the Name of our Lord is 
namachchivAya. 
 
Notes

  
1. This is the glorious namchchivAya thiruppadhikam 
sung by thirunyAna sambandhar. 
2. On the day of his wedding, sambandhar took along  
his wife and went into the abode of nallUrp perumaNam, 
followed by the other devotees like murugar, nIlanakkar, 
yAzppANar. sambandhar's focus was in unifying in the  
Supreme and not in leading the married life. sambandhar 
pleaded to the Lord that the words of His praise he sang, 
should be upheld to be truth (mulaiththaDam mUzgiya  
bOgangaLAyavum ...). In front of that flawless devotee  
appeared a flame ! Emphasizing to this world the message 
he lived throughout conveying, "Hold tight namaH shivAya, 
that is the easy was to the supreme state !", sambandhar  
along with the bride entered the flame followed by many 
devotees to reach at the Holy Feet of the Supreme. This 
is the padhikam he sang circumambulating the flame before 
entering it.
