Antiquity of thiruvArUr


திருநாவுக்கரசர் தேவாரம்
தலம்     திருவாரூர்
திருத்தாண்டகம்
ஆறாம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

ஒருவனாய் உலகேத்த நின்ற நாளோ 
    ஓருருவே மூவுருவ மான நாளோ 
கருவனாய்க் காலனைமுன் காய்ந்த நாளோ 
    காமனையுங் கண்ணழலால் விழித்த நாளோ 
மருவனாய் மண்ணும்விண்ணுந் தெரித்த நாளோ 
    மான்மறிக்கை யேந்தியோர் மாதோர் பாகந் 
திருவினாள் சேர்வதற்கு முன்னோ பின்னோ 
    திருவாரூர் கோயிலாக் கொண்ட நாளே.

Meaning of song:


Was it the day when stood Singular for the world to hail?
Was it the day One form became three?
Was it the day of firing the death (time) vehemently?
Was it the day of seeing with the eye of fire the cupid?
Was it the day spread in them showed up earth and sky?
Was it before or after the Lady of wealth joined a part of the Lord with deer-cub?
The day thiruvArUr was taken as abode?

Notes:

known as the pRuthvi kshetram. The antiquity and
glory of this abode is beyond expression. appar asks
God, "You took this as Your abode in this yuga, kalpa,
before all the creation or even before You became
ardhanArIshvara?!"
