The history of narasiNga munaiyaraiya nAyanAr
n^arachiN^ga mnaiyaraiyar was the king of the state
thirumunaippAdi where the great devotee chun^dhara mUrthi
n^AyanAr who takes very much pride in reiterating that he is the
slave of the slaves of the Three eyed Lord. The king was not fond of filling
the exchequer crushing the citizens, but fond of filling the heart with the
wealth of the love on the Rich Matted haired Lord and his devotees that does
not search for flaws. The valorous and victorious king, the slave of the
Lord with the triheaded spear, went all the ways possible and useful in
serving the Moon crowned Lord's holy nice abodes. The hurdles that come in
the way got the hurdles but never was his services to the Companionless
Single Lord stopped. He would not even bother for his life in the work of
the Lord who wears charmingly the horn of the boar.
The Ganges flows from whose Universally spread matted hair, that
Lord's holy day thiruvAdhirai (1), he celebrated every time in a
grand manner with his great love flowing like that Ganges. He used to
arrange for special wonderful worships in the temples and used to give more
than hundred golden coins along with the nice feast for the devotees who
come smeared in the Holy Ash. On one such thiruvAdhirai festival
when he was donating to the disciplined devotees of the Lord dancing on the
daemon, one person came smeared in Holy Ash with his body exhibiting the
awkward symbols of lust showing indisciplined unchaste behaviors. All the
people assembled over there moved away at his allergic sight, but the ruler of
the state, our n^AyanAr, went with folded hands and received him. Though he
was unchaste he was smeared in the sacred Ash that we devotees consider the
holiest of the holy. The king, who could rule even the indisciplined one into
the splendid discipline of Lord shiva by his great behavior, gave him
double the amount of golden coins he gave to others. The king in saluting
gesture told nice words to him and wished good-bye. In this way with the
perfection of mind he did his service endlessly in his life and finally
reached the Feet that are flawless, perfect and absolute. Let the grandness
of vision with which n^arachiN^ga munaiyaraiya n^AyanAr served the devotees
and worshipped the God stay in the mind.
