(Getting  job done, Goddess  of Mathikkunnu)

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

(Mathikkunnu is a village in Trikkur Desam, renowned for its tradition of customary rituals. This village, especially blessed by the Gods is on the eastern side of Trichur District, which is famed as the cultural capital of Kerala. From times immemorial, many holy men have chosen Mathikkunnu as the best place for their penance. Mathikkunnu Bhagavathy Temple is situated in a picturesque spot, below the enchanting mountain ranges, nestled under the spreading foliage of a peepul tree and adjacent to the temple pond. The benevolent Bhagavathy showers her blessings on all from this holy abode. The Mathikkunnu Bhagavathy is worshipped as the Goddess of the earth, ever ready to bless the devout and punish the sinners. Her temple is surrounded by the temples of Trikkoorappan, the presiding deity of Trikkoor, Veettikkunnu Shastaha, Maimbilly Thevar, Chochherikkunnu Subrahmanya Swamy, Variyathodi Maha Vishnu and Palathikkara Siva temple. Mathikkunnu Devi is the ultimate refuge of those who look for peace of mind and salvation. Ganapathy, Shastha, Vettekkaran, Veerabhadran, Subrahmanyan and the Navagrahas are consecrated as the minor deities within the temple premises. Outside the temple are Sree Muthappan, Nagam, Brahmarakshas and the Guruthithara. Mathikkunnu Temple has the unique distinction of considering any believer as a devotee.  So, people belonging to all religions can enter this temple and worship the Goddess. It is a creditable fact that the main sanctum sanctorum and the idol of the Bhagavathy were dedicated by a devotee who belonged to the Christian community. Similarly, the sanctum of Lord Subrahmanya was dedicated to the Lord by a Muslim devotee. The power of the goddess becomes more and more pronounced with the customary rituals being performed at the appropriate time under the guidance of Tantri Brahmasri Puliyanoor Aniyan Namboothiripad. )

( I had earlier  translated two Guruvayurappan Suprabathams  in Sanskrit (https://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2019/12/gurvayurappan-suprabatham.html

But  waking up God  in Guruvayur  is  a long process(https://rajathathablog.blogspot.com/2019/11/what-is-nirmalya-darsanam-and-vaka.html )

The present  Guruvayurappan Suprabatham takes  in to account  this wake up process  , as it is a  written , by a great scholar  who was  chief  priest  of the temple .)

Varaha moorthi  manthram

 

AApaadham  jaanu  desaadhwara  kanaka  nibham

Naabhi desaandhe sthaan mukthaanaam

Kanda desaa thanuna ravi nibham

Masthake  neelaa  bhasam

Yeede  hasthair  dhadhaanam

Radha charana darou  gadka kedou gadhaakhyam

SAkthim  dhaanaabhaye  cha   sritha

Dharanilasa damshtram aadhyam  varaham

 

During dangers  the thighs direction very much like gold

The belly  directions is made  of pearls

The  place near  the neck  being like sun

The top of head  is of colour blue

The laudable  hands  always giving

He wears  the bottom of chariot, armed with sword, shield , small knife

And primarily  he has  his lage teeth   and that is Varaha
