திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

"வையம் முறை செய்குவனாகில் வயங்கு நீறே
செய்யும் அபிடேகமுமாக, செழுங்கலன்கள்
ஐயன் அடையாளமுமாக, அணிந்து தாங்கும்
மொய்புன் சடைமா முடியே முடியாவது" என்றார்.

Explanation of song:


"If I am going to govern the land, lustrous ash
would be the anointment; Rich embellishments
would be the God's icons (rudrAksha); To wear - 
dense holy great matted hair would be the crown", 
he said.

Notes:
1. When all the intentions are regulated towards
Lord shiva - the Lord Who enjoys the self-bliss,
the liberated soul does not have any interest in
the royal adornments even. All that is looked for
is both internally and externally associating rigidly
with Lord shiva. 
   When mUrthiyAr was pleaded by the ministers 
to take up the throne of pANDiya empire, he insisted
that if his shaiva form is not disturbed in favor of
royal form then he would take up the governing.
2. vaiyam - world.
