Twelfth Thirumurai

 

சேக்கிழார் அருளிச் செய்த திருத்தொண்டர்புராணம்
பன்னிரண்டாம் திருமுறை

சண்டீச நாயனார் புராணம்

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

பண்ணின் பயனாம் நல்லிசையும் பாலின் பயனாம் இன்சுவையும்
கண்ணின் பயனாம் பெருகொளியும் கருத்தின் பயனாம் எழுத்தஞ்சும்
விண்ணின் பயனாம் பொழிமழையும் வேதப் பயனாம் சைவமும்போல்
மண்ணின் பயனாம் அப்பதியின் வளத்தின் பெருமை வரம்புடைத்தோ!!  ௧௨.சண்டீசர்.௯

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

The reward of the melodies is the enchanting music;
The reward of the milk is the sweet taste;
The reward of the eye is the bright sight;
The reward of the thought is the Holy Five Syllables (Namahshivaya);
The reward of the sky is the rain;
The reward of the Vedas is the Shaivam;
Likewise, that place, which is the reward of the earth 
- is there a limit to its glory?

 Notes: 

1. Sekkizhar throgh this song introduce the birth place of Chandisha Nayanar - Seynyalur.

2.  கருத்தின் பயனாம் எழுத்தஞ்சும்
Human are special because they have the thinking system.
That thinking system which is a great gift to humankind,
will meet its utility value when enagged in thoughts that elevates.
Human gets elevated when they liberate themselves from the limiting consciousness
to get to the infinite Divine consciousness. At that point they accomplish
immense results and the purpose of life. It is the Holy Five Syllables 
Namahshivaya - that sets us free from the limiting "me" into the
losing theself in Supreme "Shiva".
Hence, the thought finds its utility when contemplating on Namahshivaya.

3. வேதப் பயனாம் சைவமும்
Vedas are the gift of God to the humankind. They vividly extol the Divinity.
The crystalization of the Vedic concept of God in a way relatable to 
even a commoner with its core essence even more amplified is the great Shaivam.
We are all blessed to be the follwers of the this great Vaidika Shaiva path!
