Meaning of Thevaram
Sharing the golden body with the Goddess of ornated breast that gives
prosperity (to the world as the mother), the Eldest rides on the
black-eyed white bull ! He is the most desirable ! Wears the skin as
the clothing; Over the dress around the waist, ties up the snake; That
Lord of us has taken abode at thirunaLLARu.
Notes
1. Sambandhar had sung this song at thirunaLLARu earlier. When the
Jains at madhurai challenged him to prove the holiness of the Lord's
fame by putting a palm-leaf in flame and taking it out without charred,
the young saint worshipped the Lord and took out the leaf written with
this song. To the shock of the rival extremists, the leaf put by
sambandhar was not charred whereas the one put by them was charred.
The beacon of Shaivism rejuvenated the Shaivite glory !!
2. This padhikam is sung to mitigate the ill-effects of the movements
of the planet saturn in the lives. (The complete padhikam is available
through siddhanta/prayers-for-specific-ailments)
