Why Lord shiva wears skulls



திருநாவுக்கரசர் தேவாரம்
தலம்     பொது
திருத்தாண்டகம்
ஆறாம் திருமுறை

மறுமாற்றத் திருத்தாண்டகம்

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

என்றும்நாம் யாவர்க்கும் இடைவோ மல்லோம் 
    இருநிலத்தில் எமக்கெதிரா வாரு மில்லை 
சென்றுநாஞ் சிறுதெய்வஞ் சேர்வோ மல்லோஞ் 
    சிவபெருமான் திருவடியே சேரப் பெற்றோம் 
ஒன்றினாற் குறையுடையோ மல்லோ மன்றே 
    உறுபிணியார் செறலொழிந்திட் டோடிப் போனார் 
பொன்றினார் தலைமாலை யணிந்த சென்னிப் 
    புண்ணியனை நண்ணியபுண் ணியத்து ளோமே.

Explanation of song:


Forever, we would not retreat for anybody!
In this world there is nobody who could challenge us!
We would not go and be with small divines!
We got (blessed) to be with the Lord shiva!
We are not deficient by anything!
Then itself the afflicting Mr. illness ran away, losing the vigor!
We are in the virtue of being close the Virtuous Lord
Who to the head wears the garland of the skulls of the dead!

Notes:
1. In each word one could see the valor of the saint.
The emperor of the southern land has sent the army-men
with the warrant. So what, asked the saint. Even if he
was the emperor of the whole subcontinent or even be
the king of death, we won’t be shaken, was his response.
Because we are not the slaves of even the divines
of power limited in time and strength, but we are the
kin of the Supreme Lord shiva. That God is not the One
ceasing to exist someday, but the One wearing the
skulls of all the rest mortals who ceased to exist!!
(For details of this incidence refer to 
Ocean that floated on sea  
2. iDaithal - to return back; ponRinAr - dead.
