Meaning of Sundarar Tiruppattu
Even if they are praised unparallel, with
the words that would please them and stay
in their patronage, those unreliable mean ones
do not donate to the serving ones. Rather than
singing them, sing my Lord at thiruppugalUr.
You will get here itself, food and clothing
(basic needs fulfilled) and also will be relieved
from sufferings. Afterwards there is no doubt
about reigning in the shivaloka.
Notes
1. paravaiyAr told cundharar to feed the devotees
of the Supreme on the day of panguni uththiram,
there was need for money. Where else will cundharar
go ? He went and worshipped the Lord at thiruppugalUr
and relaxed a bit outside keeping some bricks as pillow.
When he woke up saw all those bricks had become
golden ones ! Charged by the Grace of the Supreme,
cundharar sang this padhikam that is a much needed
advice to the world.
2. When people have thousands of biases and keep
their wealth close to their heart, by worshipping the
mean ones how much will they donate selflessly ?
All the help they do may come with lots of strings
attached. They themselves may be begging somewhere
else for their betterment. So they giving something to us
may in turn depend on what falls in their bowl from
somebody else !
When does one lead a happy life ? When the basic
needs - like food, shelter & clothing - are met and most
importantly mentally peaceful. The Grace of God takes care
of the needs of the devotees and for them always Its guidance
and protection is there, so no need to worry. Above all these
It also provides the glorious gift of residing at shivaloka,
which no one else would be able to provide. So why not
beg to our Lord shiva ?
3. In this complete padhikam cundharar very beautifully
elaborates how all one tells glorifing lies in order to get
the favour of those who absolutely not deserve it !!
4. iccai - pleasing; en^dhai - my Lord; immai - here/now;
kURai - clothing; ammai - there/later.
