Meaning of Thevaram
You became all the feelings I had !
You stood as the clan for the adherents !
You became the art, wisdom that was learnt !
You became the (all wish fulfilling)
kaRpaga tree for those learn (You) !
You are better than even the mother who gave birth !
You placed Your Feet on me as the Lord !
You are the Reddish One with Holy Black Throat !
Oh the Ruddy Golden Flame that never leaves thiruvaiyARu !!
Notes
1. The song starts with just excellent kindling
statement ! There have been very many great saints
who immersed themselves in the ocean of devotion.
When trying to focus on the God, the mind like a
monkey jumps somewhere else, how do we progress
in the path of those marvelous devotees ? For the path
of devotion just the worship is not enough, but there
should be the feeling of Lord shiva. When that sweet
Lord occupies all the emotions, what else to think of ?
Every thought becomes Its worship. Naturally this is
the same saint who sung, "ambalak kUththanaith
thinaith thuNaip pozudhum maRan^dhu uyvanO ?!"
(c.f. UDuvadhu unnODu uvappadhum unnai - thiruvAcagam)
2. Mother is one who even the ascetics who renounce
the worldly ties hold at esteem. Such is the love of the
mother. Our God is lovelier than even the mother. When
the love of the mother who gave birth to the body itself
is so high, how much is the Mercy, the highest form of
love, that the pashupati - the Supreme Mother on us,
Her children ?! Mother's love is constrained by the human
limitations, but the Mercy of God beyond any such
restrictions and supreme.
3. cuRRam - relation.
