சோதிக்க வேண்டா சுடர்விட் டுளன் எங்கள்சோதி 
மாதுக்கம் நீங்க லுறுவீர் மனம்பற்றி வாழ்மின் 
சாதுக்கள் மிக்கீர் இறையே வந்து சார்மின்களே.

(thiruppAchuram is the padhikam sambandhar told 
pANDiyan n^inRa chIr n^eDumARan as a guru. The  
meaning of this padhikam is intense. chEkkizAr 
has written quite some elaborations for this  
whole padhikam, while no other padhikam has got  
this kind of special commentary in periya purANam. 
Given such great importance of this padhikam all  
the hymns in this padhikam are being presented in  
ThirumuRai Series (from 89 to 90). So there would  
be many sent in these two days to cover complete padhikam before  
April. The explanations here would be very little  
compared to the deep meanings this enlightening  
poem gives. So please contemplate on each of these 
verses to get more out.

Meaning of Thevaram

  
With cause, reasoning and with the words used  
for presenting don't get too much into  
examination, because our Lord is explicitly  
glowing resplendently ! You will be removed of 
your great sorrows, hold on to Him and live ! 
Oh serene ones and all others come and hinge 
only on the God ! 
 
Notes

1. One cannot and mostly should not go just 
by faith. If the one believed turns out to be 
the truth it is safe, with least effort most 
returns are got. But it happens to be not true 
the result will be detrimental depending upon 
how bad it is. So one has to check to ones own  
satisfaction that the chosen thing is not the wrong 
one. On the other hand when one keeps on  
questioning without getting satisfied at some  
point, fine the Truth will certainly keep  
answering either immediately or with whatever  
delays, but the seeker by then could have wasted  
all the time in knowing what without looking at how  
that truth could be utilized !  
  For example if one wants to find the presence  
of a heat source there is a way to keep calculating  
the difference in heat levels at various points  
and finally arrive at the burning point. But when  
one is able to see a huge flame dazzling, why go 
for such laborious techniques ? (unless one really  
wants to) 
  The divine language of saint thirunyAna sambandhar  
has used the chosen word "mikkuch chOdhikka vENDA". 
There are religions that call for "just faith" and  
there is another class (including rationalism) that 
just insists on digging on and on without translating  
the truths observed into practice. kuravar sambandhar 
clarly drives away our quandary, "Analyze to get the 
first concepts right. Then You can feel our Lord shiva 
and stay in that Luminance ! There will be no doubts  
any more ! Hold on to That Supreme ! That is your way  
to the Bliss !!" 
2. iRaiyE could also be interpreted as atleast a bit. 
In that case the meaning could be, "Oh serene ones  
and all others at least hold on to the Lord a bit.  
(You will be benefited accordingly)"
