VERSE-11 கூகாஎன என்கிளை கூடி அழப் போகாவகை மெய்ப்பொருள் பேசியவா நாகாசல வேலவ நாலுகவித் தியாகா சுரலோக சிகாமணியே.Kookaa ena en kilai koodi azhap, Pokaa vakai meipporul pesiyavaa Naakaasala velava naalu kavith Thiyaagaa suraloka sikhaamaniye. My relatives to gather around and lament as 'koo-kaa', Commentary Though the Guru's instructions (verse 8) gave him immediate solace, the aspirant was troubled by attractions of sense-objects and by fear of death (verses 9 and 10). In that highly disturbed condition, the seeker again approaches his Guru for help. Seeing his disturbed mental condition and realising his predicament, the Guru again instructs him on the nature of the Supreme Reality, but this time more forcibly. He tells him that he is the Atman or Self which is indestructible and Immortal, and that he is not this perishable body. He also assures him that he will overcome his weaknesses and realise God in this birth itself. This assurance from the Guru (which is really the Lord speaking) gave him the confidence that he will not pass away like other ordinary mortals and that it will avert the need for his relatives gathering around his dead body and weep and wail over it. Verses 8 and 11 are only verbal instructions on the nature of the Supreme Reality, God or Self (Meipporul Pesiyavaa). It is not actual Initiation, which he gets later (Verse-20). 'Naagaasala' is another name for Thiruchenkodu. Thiruchenkodu is a small town near Salem, in South India, and has a beautiful hillock on the top of which Lord Skanda is enshrined. This is one of the important places visited by saint Arunagiri, which captivated his heart. The enchanting form of the Lord there and the charm of the temple and of that place captivated the saint's heart so much that in one of the verses of his other work, Kandar Alankaaram, he says, "O, what a pity that the Four-faced Lord Brahma has not created me with four thousand eyes to behold the beauty of the Lord of Thiruchenkodu." Arunagirinathar has dedicated many Thiruppugazh songs in praise of the Lord at this place, and had obtained a special boon from Him that, wherever he be, when he utters "Kanda" and calls the Lord, Skanda would appear. Such is the glory of the Lord of Thiruchenkodu! Lord Murugan is considered as the Tamizh-God, the Lord who gave the Tamil language. So, He has the power to confer on one the capacity to sing poems in all the four kinds of poetry, in the Tamil language, viz., Aasu Kavi, Madhura Kavi, Chithira Kavi, and Visthaara Kavi. Aasu Kavi: Poems composed at once on a given subject or theme. Madhura Kavi: Poems overflowing with sweetness of music. Chithira Kavi: Poems which can be expressed through drawings or diagrams. Visthaara Kavi: Elaborate long works of poetry (epic poems). |
