We are in search, Where do You hide?

 

திருநாவுக்கரசர் அருளிய தேவாரம்
தலம்    :    திருவாய்மூர்
திருக்குறுந்தொகை
ஐந்தாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

பாடிப் பெற்ற பரிசில் பழங்காசு 
வாடி வாட்டம் தவிர்ப்பார் அவரைப்போல்
தேடிக் கொண்டு திருவாய்மூர்க்கே எனா
ஓடிப் போந்திங்கு ஒளித்தவாறு என் கொலோ?

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

thirucciRRambalam


Meaning of song:


Like the one who endeavored to get rid of the fault
in the coin got as gift for the singing,
in search when (I) came towards thiruvAymUr,
why did (You) flee and hide?

Notes:
1. appar sleeping at thirumaRaikkADu was 
woken up by the call of God to follow Him
to thiruvAymUr. He ran behind the Lord. 
sambandhar who was also woken up 
realized appar was rushing towards thiruvAymUr
and followed him. Towards thiruvAymur God
suddenly disappeared. appar sang the Lord
to show His Form. At the time he was singing
this song of the padhikam (7th song) sambandhar
also came there in search. 
  So appar sings, both sambandhar and me are
in His search here. Why should He hide anymore?
2. This is one of the few songs in appar thEvAram
where there is reference to sambandhar.
3. paricil - prize.
