Sri Gomathi Ambal Ashtakam
The octet on Gomathi
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
( I got this
great and rare prayer from the post of
my face book frind Devi dasan. Thanks to him, A few words about
who Goddess Gomathi is:-
Goddess Gomathi(Also called Punnai vana Nayagi or Avudai
Ambal ) is the presiding Goddess in the Sankaran koil temple(Also called as
Bhoo kailasam, Punnai vanam , seerasai
Koozhai nagar and seeerasa puram)
of Thirunelveli district which is 56 km
away from THirunelveli town . There is
an interesting story about the origin
of this temple . It seems Goddess Parvathi
once asked Lord Shiva that she
wanted to have his darsan in the
combined form of Shiva as well as Vishnu.
Then Lord Shiva asked her to go to the forst of Punnai (Calophyllum
inophyllum ) trees in the podigai mountain
of THirunelveli. When she
started the journey , her divine
friends wanted to accompany her . Then she
requested them to come there in the
form of cows(go) along with her .
Because of this she was called Gomathi (Aavudayal (She who has cows) in Tamil) . After several years penance Lord Shiva appeared before her in the twin
form of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu (Sankaranarayana). When asked
to request for a boon, she wanted him to appear in the form of Shiva linga . There
are temples in this shrine, oe deicated
to Lord Shiva, one to Goddess Gomathi and third one to Lord Sankaranarayana.
On the Adi THapasu festival day in the temple , the Lord is
taken in procession in the form of
SankaraNarayana and at night he is again taken in the form of Lord Shiva..Over
the years the
original vigrahas were
covered with an ant hill and
these were found by a Pandya king called
Ugra Pandya, who built the present temple.The temple tank of this temple is called Nagasunai and it is
believed that all those
who are affected by incurable
diseases would get cured if they take
bath in this temple tank and worship goddess Gomathi. The mud of the anthill is only given as
Prasada in her temple. Here is a
rare prayer eulogising her and it is believed that Adhi Sankara
wrote it.)
