Lord Shiva is Dearer Than the Mother!

Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Thiruthondar Puranam;

Twelfth Thirumurai

 

சேக்கிழார் அருளிய திருத்தொண்டர் புராணம்
பன்னிரண்டாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

கொத்தார் மலர்க் குழலாள் ஒரு கூறாய் அடியவர் பால் 
மெய்த் தாயினும் இனியானை அவ்வியன் நாவலர் பெருமான் 
"பித்தா பிறை சூடி" எனப் பெரிதாம் திருப் பதிகம் 
இத்தாரணி முதலாம் உலகு எல்லாம் உய்ய எடுத்தார்.

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்


Song as Romanized text

 
sEkkizhAr aruLiya thiruththoNDar purANam
Twelfth Thirumurai

Thiruchirrambalam

koththAr malark kuzalAL oru kURAy aDiyavar pAl
meyth thAyinum iniyAnai avviyan n-Avalar perumAn
"piththA piRai sUdi" enap perithAm thiruppathikam
iththAraNi muthalAm ulagu ellAm uyya eDuththAr.

Thiruchirrambalam

Meaning of the Prayer Song:


 On the Lord, Who is nicer to the devotees than even the mother of the body,
Who is accompanied in a part by the Lady of floral bunch plait,
that lord of the great Thirunavalur started the grand Thirupadhikam
"Piththa Pirai Sudi" for all the worlds starting with this earth to
get salvation!


 Notes: 


1. Sekkizhar explains the context of Sundharar singing his first Thirupadhikam
"Piththa Pirai Sudi" in this song. 

2. God is nicer than the mother of this body. While the mother showers her
love on the child, she is limited by both what she can do as well as her
own conditioning. However, the Lord Shiva provides unconditional Bliss to 
the devotees. So, definitely He is much nicer than even the mother!
