Shiva Puranam of Saint Manikka Vasagar

Shiva  Puranam

By

Saint  Manikka vasagar

Translated   by  

P.R.Ramachander

(Manikka Vasagar   was  one of the four great   Nayanmars (saivite   saints )  of Tamil Nadu  , who was a great   poet as well  as great contributor to the SAivite philosophy.  His collection of works   is called Thiruvachakam.   Due to  the sweetness  and greatness  of this work, there   is a proverb in Tamil which says, “Thiruvasagathukku urugaar , yebbasagathukkum Urugaar”( One who does not melt for  Thiruvasagam  will not melt for any literary work). The first  prayer   in THiruvasagam is the Shiva   Puranam . It was composed in  a Shiva temple called  Thiruperum thurai

  Unlike   suggested by the name   it is not the epic  dealing with the stories of Shiva . In tamil  Jeeva (the individual soul is called  “ Cheevaa” . According to the philosophy of Saivism , the jeeva   is  prevented from the realization of God  by three impurities  (Anava(pride) , Karma, and Maya) and only approach to Shiva can   remove these impurities.  This Shiva puranam  attempts  to portray   the jeeva   towards Shiva and is aptly called  “Shiva  Puranam” , The famous  English translation of Shiva Puranam  by  Mr.G.U.Pope  (fondly called Popeiyer)  is available in G.U.Pope’s translation http://www.shaivam.org/siddhanta/thivapop.htm.

There is also a great commentary in Tamil  Which includes   the Tamil  text  of this work in

 http://www.shaivam.org/siddhanta/thichiva_u.htm and the audio  is Audio by Sulamangalam sisters  is  available   in  http://www.oosai.com/tamilsongs/siva...m_sisters_song )

Namasivaya  vaazhga  , Nadan  thal vazzhga ,

Imai podum   yennenjil   neengaadhan thal vazhga.

Kokazhi aanda guru mani than  thaal vaazhga,

Agamam aagi  nindru annippan vaazhga,

Yekan anegan  iraivan adi Vaazhga(1-5)

Long live  Namasivaya, Long live the holy feet of our Lord,

Long live the feet of him who  does not move away  from my mind even for a second.

Long live the feet of  my Guru  who ruled over Thiruvavaduthurai(Thiruperum thurai ?)*,

Long live  the feet  of  him who became  holy books  and comes near us,

Long live the feet of  the God who was  one but  appeared  as many.

Vegam   keduthu aanda   vendan adi   velga,

Puratharkkum cheyon than poomkazhalgal velga,

Karam kuvivaar ul magizhum kon   kazhalgal  velga,

Siram kuvivaar onguvikkum cheeron kazhal  velga.(6-10)

Let the feet of the God who stabilized my mind be victorious,

Let the valorous anklets  of Lord Shiva , who cuts off cycle of birth be victorious

Let the  flower like anklets   of  the God,  who is scarce  to those  who stand away from him  be victorious,

Let the anklets of king who happily lives  in the mind of those   who salute him be victorious,

Let the anklets  of that   great one  who uplifts  those  who bend their head  to him  be victorious.

Eesan adi pothi, Yenthai adi pothi,

Nesanadi pothi,  Sivan Sevadi pothi,

Neyathey  nindra nimalan   adi pothi  ,

Praise   to the feet of God, Praise to the feet  of my father,

Praise to the feet of my friend, praise  to the red  feet  of shiva,

Praise  to  the feet of  the pure  god who stood  in love ,

Praise to the feet  of the king who cuts off   the illusion called  birth,

Praise to the feet  of god who is in holy  Thiruperumthurai  .

Aaratha inbam arulum  malai pothi  ,

Avan arulaale    avan thal  vanagi  ,

Chinthai magizha   Siva puranam  thanai,

Munthai  vinai muzhuthum   oya uraippan naan.(16-20)

Praise to the God  who gives the never fading  joy like a mountain of mercy,

Because   that  Lord Shiva   stood  in my thought  ,

I would  salute his feet   by his    grace ,

And with  a joyful mind  recite  the Shiva Purana,

So that   the entire  Karma  which I have earned earlier  disappears.

Kan nuthalaan than karunai kan kaatta  vandeythi,

Yennutharkettaa  vezhilaar  kazhal  irainji ,

Yenn iranthu     yellai illathaane   nin perum cheer ,

Pollaa vinayen pugazhum  maru ondru ariyen.(21-25)

I came because   the god  with an eye  in his forehead showed me  his  eye of mercy,

And stood    there saluting   the anklet  , whose  prettiness  is  beyond the   reach of the mind  ,

And oh God   who filled  the sky and the earth   , and who is being seen as  a glittering light  ,

Oh God  who is beyond  all limitations of barrier , I who   am one   with a bad  karma  ,

And   do not know  the ways  to praise   your great qualities

Several types of animals  , birds  , snakes ,

Stone  , human beings  , ghosts  , different types of devils,

Strong asuras , sages   devas ,

And I traveled  all over  this spectrum of moving and not moving things ,

And took     all   types   of  births  and became  tired.

Truly   I have attained    salvation seeing your golden feet,

Oh  God, who stood as letter “Om”, in my mind  so that  I would be saved,

Oh truth, oh purity  , Oh Lord who rides on a   bull,

Oh my lord , who puts a stop  to cycle   of births  ,

By standing  in the   minds of  great devotees,

Like honey which is  the mixture of   newly  milked milk  ,

Honey    and Ghee , you are  the  one having all the five colours,

And you   were  hiding   from the   view   of devas ,

Who were not able to see  you and praise   you , oh lord.

Please    tie me  , who is caught  in the   horrible past Kama,

And is being hidden  completely by darkness  of illusion

by  considerations    of  all the  acts  ,

That   can be done and should not be done  ,

And tie me with a rope of  sins and good acts

And further    cover the dirt and worms  of my inside  by a skin,

And  construct me as  a hut with nine holes,

Through which   all   that  is not wanted   goes out,

With the five senses  deceiving me and  put me in to a stupor ,

 Oh God , who is pure, though I am With an unstable (animal like ) mind, ,

Which does  not merge with you   due to  extreme love  ,

 Which does    not   melt   on hearing you

And which   does not have  any good in it ,

You   have   taken  mercy  on this  lowly  one,

And came on this earth and showed me your long feet  

And showed  much more mercy than a  mother ,

To   me who was   lying   even worse   than a dog.

Oh lord who cuts of   this   painful life of birth,

Those   who called you  God    , who cannot  be  understood , as “ oh god”

And understand  this song which was  sung below your  feet  ,

Would  go to  the    wealthy  land of Shiva’s city  ,

And would remain below  the feet   of Lord Shiva  ,

Being prayed  and worshipped   by many.

     

Raghu Veera Gadhyam of Vedantha Desika

Introduction

“Vedanta Desika's Raghuveera Gadyam, which celebrates Lord Rama's valour, was composed when he was residing at the temple town of Thiruvendipuram in Tamil Nadu. The temple has icons of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita, and here Rama is seen as Kodandarama (with a bow in His hand).

Inspired by this, Desika wrote Raghuveera Gadyam, in which he focuses on Rama as a ‘veera' (warrior). But Rama was not an ordinary warrior. He was a ‘mahaveera.' He was not only capable of fighting courageously Himself, but could also lead an army. Thus, He combined in Himself the qualities of courage and leadership. Hence, Desika referred to Him as a ‘mahaveera,' said Vaduvur Veeraraghavachariar. In fact, Raghuveera Gadyam is known as Mahaveera Vaibhavam.” Gadhya means “prose” . The great poet chose this unusual form possibly   because  the existence of Three great books (Gadhya Thrayam) written in Gadhyam style by by the great Acharya  Ramanuja,”(Source : http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/religion/article2633529.ece)

    The book does not  attempt to tell the story of Ramayana  and not even summarize   Ramayana but   brings before us    some of the very important and striking   scenes of Ramayana .  The words used  vary from soft to hard  and   takes great care   to make  it most suitable to describe the scene that   it depicts.
