ஸ்ரீ மதுரகாளியம்மன் போற்றி
Sri Madhura Kaliyamman Pothri
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
The renowned temple of Arulmigu Mathura Kaliamman at Siruvachur located 50 kms from Trichy and 8 kms from Perambalur has an antiquity dating back to 1000 years. Large number of devotees throng this temple on Mondays and Fridays to worship the powerful deity and seek her divine blessings. According to tradition Chelliamman was the local deity of Siruvachur. An evil magician through his intense devotion to the deity won her favour. Pleased with his devotion, Chelliamman granted him any boon he wished. The cruel sorcerer wished that the deity should be his servant and do his bidding at all times. Bound by the power of her own boon Chelliamman had no other option but to obey all his evil commands.
At this time
Kannagi the embodiment of virtue and chastity happened to visit Siruvachur.
Kannagi was the devoted wife of Kovalan, a merchant. The happy couple led a
blissful life till Kovalan in the course of his travels met Madhavi a beautiful
danseuse. Enamored by her grace Kovalan started living with her and spent all his
wealth on her. This went on for over a year during which he had a daughter
Manimegalai through her. When his resources were exhausted Kovalan realized his
folly and returned to his devoted wife Kannagi. The couple went to Madurai to
eke out their livelihood. Kovalan, hard pressed for money, tried to sell one of
the precious anklets of his wife. The anklets resembled those of the queen of
Madurai and so Kovalan was charged with theft and swiftly beheaded by the king
without even a trial. On hearing this, Kannagi seething with anger rushed to
the king’s court and accused him of taking an innocent man’s life by his hasty
and unjust ruling. With fuming rage she took out the other anklet and threw it
down. All at once, by the power of her chastity the entire city of Madurai went
up in flames.
After this Kannagi
left Madurai and traveling towards north arrived at Siruvachur. There she
rested for the night at the deserted temple. Something strange happened. The
deity of the temple Chelliamman came out of the sanctum and requested Kannagi
not to stay there as she could be killed by the cruel magician. Chelliamman
narrated to Kannagi her sorry tale. Kannagi was very much moved and offered to
help Chelliamman rid herself of the evil. Kannagi entered the sanctum with Chelliamman
and lay there waiting. In the middle of the night the magician came and ordered
Chelliamman to come out. Kannagi immediately invoked the blessings of her
family deity Kali. Goddess Kali bestowed her powers on Kannagi who then leapt
out of the sanctum, fought the magician, vanquished and beheaded him.
Chelliamman was thus rid of her bondage.
Filled with
gratitude Chelliamman prayed to Kannagi to stay at the temple permanently to
bless and protect all devotees who seek her refuge.Chelliamman said that she
would retreat and stay at the nearby Periyasami hills. Kannagi willingly
consented but on condition that she would stay at the temple only on Mondays
and Fridays and with Chelliamman on all other days. Since Kannagi came from
Madurai and had invoked the blessings of Goddess Kali to slay the magician she
was worshiped as Mathura Kaliamman when she took the seat at Siruvachur temple.
Thousands of devotees visit the temple on Mondays and Fridays to seek the
blessings of Mathura Kaliamman. During Puja Aarthi is first lifted towards
Periyasami hills to offer prayers to Chelliamman and then it is offered to
Mathura Kaliamman. In accordance with the magician’s dying wish his samadhi is
located in front of the sanctum. Devotees stamp over the samadhi while entering
the sanctum as wished for by the magician. The priests at the temple are said
to be the descendants of the magician but entirely free of his evil
proclivities by the divine grace of the deity.
It is said that
the deity at the temple was originally consecrated by AdiSankara.The revered
saint Sri Sadasiva Brahmendral has installed a powerful Srichakram in this
temple. The deity is also the kuladeivam of KanchiMahaswami Shri
Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi.
