எதற்காக வருந்த வேண்டும்?

 


மாணிக்கவாசகர் அருளிய திருவாசகம்

  
திருச்சதகம்
எட்டாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

யானேதும் பிறப்பஞ்சேன்; இறப்பதனுக்கு என் கடவேன்;
வானேயும் பெறில் வேண்டேன்; மண்ணாள்வான் மதித்தும் இரேன்;
தேனேயும் மலர்க்கொன்றைச் சிவனே! எம்பெருமான் எம்
மானே! உன் அருள் பெறு நாள் என்று என்றே வருந்துவனே.

Meaning of Thiruvasagam

  
I won't be afraid a bit for birth. 
What else would be the case for death?
I do not want the heaven even if given.
I would not stay to be revered by the ruler of the land.
Oh the shiva of honey residing floral konRai!
My Lord! My Mother-like!
I would be anxious as, "When would be the day I get Your grace?"

Notes

  
1. These are not just the words coined by a poet to
act renounced. This is from the anubhUthi - experience
diary of the saint, who quit the chief ministership of the
great pANDiya kingdom and considered "ODum kavanthiyumE
uRavu" and sought the wealth of Lord shiva only.
c.f. peRinum piRithu yAthum vENDEm; emakkIthu
     uRinum uRAthu oziyumEnum - ciRithuNarththi
     maRRorukaN n^eRRimEl vaiththAn than pEyAya
     n^aRgaNaththil onRAya n^Am. - kAraikkAl ammaiyAr
2. The great people hold on to the Feet of Lord shiva
to come out of birth-death cycle. Our saint is staying
ultimate. The birth-death cycle does not concern him.
All he has is the longing for the grace of God. When
he is able to enjoy the Grace of God, how would it matter
to him whether he is in mortal coil or free from it?
c.f. a. amR^ita iha bhavati - veda
     b. kUDum anbiniR kumbiDalE anRi
        vIDum vENDA viRalin viLaN^ginAr - cEkkizAr.
