Thirupadai yezhuchi
By
Saint Manickavasagar
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(The war of the
divine army)
( The works of Manikka
Vasagar the great saint of Tamil saivism is the first part of the Thirumurai , the
key religious text of Tamil
Saivism. His works which are poems
written while he visited
various temples of Tamil Nadu is
called THiruvasagam. There is a saying in Tamil , that he who does not melt before Thiruvasagam will
not be affected by any other work,. Manikka Vasagar settled down
in the temple town of Chidambaram .Most of his great work has been
inscribed on the walls of the great temple at Chidambaram,
This twoi
verse poem , which was written in Chidambaram , makes him imagine himself as the
commander of the army to win over the travails of Samsara and conquer the world of Lord Shiva. .He tells them , what
weapons to take and also instructs how the
army formations have to fight.)
You can hear it
sung by Dharapuram Swaminathan in http://redmp3.me/17709674/dharmapuram-p-swaminathan-thirupadai-yezhuchi.html )

1.Please beat on musical drum of the Lord who holds
sword of wisdom,
Hold over the lord
the white moon like umbrella of wisdom,
Please enter
to wear
the armour of the divine ash,
And before
the army of illusion attacks us, we shall conquer the
land of Shiva.
2.THondarkal
thoosi chelleer , bhaktharkaal
choozha pogeer ,
On tthiral yogikale perani untheerkakl,
Thin thiral chitharkale kadai koozhai chelmikal
Andar naadu aazom , naam allarpadai vaaramay
2.Oh servants
of God , you march to the top of the
front,
Oh Devotees completely
surround the army,
Oh very learned Yogis , you lead the great army,
Oh very able Sidhas as able as Vajrayudha, you march in the rear ,
We would go and rule the land of Shiva without any
suffering.
