Prayer to Subrahmanya , the Lord of Pazhani in Malayalam

Prayer  to Subrahmanya  , the Lord of Pazhani   in Malayalam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(It is a peculiar fact   that in spite  of few   famous Subramanya temples  in Kerala , almost all  Keralites   have great desire   to visit Pazhani    and worship   the Lord Subramanya  there.  There is a very interesting story about Pazhani. It seems once   sage Narada  presented  a very precious mango fruit  to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. Both their sons  Lord Ganesa  and Lord Subrahmanya    claimed   that fruit.  Lord Shiva suggested that  that  son who would go around the world first would get the fruit. While Lord Subrahmanya   left immediately  , Lord Ganesa  , just went round his parents  and claimed   the fruit, saying that Lird Shiva and Goddess Parvathi    are the universe. Te fruit was given to him. When Subrahmanya  came back and   came to know of the facts, he became very angry and   came to Pazhani , assumed the form of a mendicant boy and stayed   there.Though later   his parents pacified him,  Lord Subrahmanya   always stays there.)

Kamalangalennum Pazhaneesa.
