Holy Five Letters
Prayer of the Day
Prayer from Unmai Vilakkam
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்
அஞ்செழுத்தே ஆகமமும் அண்ணல் அருமறையும்
அஞ்செழுத்தே ஆதி புராணம் அனைத்தும் - அஞ்செழுத்தே
ஆனந்தத் தாண்டவமும் ஆறாறுக்கு அப்பாலாம்
மோனந்த மாமுத்தி யும்.
திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

anjchezuththE Agamamum aNNal arumaRaiyum
anjchezuththE Adhi purANam anaiththum - anjchezuththE
Anan-thath thANdavamum ARARukku appAlAm
mOnan-tha mAmuththi yum.
thiruchiRRambalam
Meaning of the Prayer Song:
The Holy Five Syllables (Letters) are the Shivagamas
as well as the precious vedas provided by the Supreme.
The Holy Five Letters are the complete primary puranas.
The Holy Five Letters are the Blissful Dance and
the ultimate-silent-great-liberation transcending the 36 (tattvas).
Notes:
1. The essence of the complete vedas is expressed in the
Sri rudra sUkta. That holds teh Holy Five Letters namaHshivAya.
2. Shivagamas hail the panchakshara at length.
3. Very important point to note is "All the purANas are Holy
Five Letters". One may wonder whether all the primary puranas
hail Lord shiva. It should be noted very clearly that all the 18 puranas
are the praise of Lord shiva. Those could here and there praise
the various divines, but that is all as good as hailing the devotees
and aspects of God. Devotees should approach the 18 puranas
with this perspective in mind. Sri Gnanasambandhar declares in thiruppAsuram
"bhUtha mudhalvan muthlE muthalAp polin^tha
cUthan oli mAlai enRE kalikkOvai collE"
(As the Supremacy of Lord of the (five) bhutAs (Lord shiva),
as the primary, Suta who told the purANas...)
