Pothri thiru agaval(Tamil)
By
Manikka Vasagar
Translated By
P.R.Ramachander
(Manikka Vasagar was a great saint of the saivite Bhakthi movement of Thamizh Nadu. His greatest contribution was a book called Thiruvasagam.(Divine writing) . It has been told that “thiru vasagathukku urugar , yevvachagathukkum urugar” meaning, “ The mind of one whose mind does not melt for Thiruvasagam , will not melt for any other book. “ There is a very famous translation of Thiruvasagam by Rev G.U.Pope who was called as Pope iyer by the people of Tamil nadu. This is available in
http://www.shaivam.org/siddhanta/thivapop.htm . But I found it very difficult to understand.
Pothiru Thiru agaval is a poem of salutations to the God using the Agval ('Agaval” is a form of blank verse, close to speech.) style. After giving an introduction the, author goes on to salute the Lord using several of his attributes and residences. I felt that it is a remarkable prayer. I have used the tamil translation of Thiruvachagam by Dr.Sadhu .S.Srinivas published by Indhu publications , Madras to understand the verses of Pothri Thiru Agaval)
Nanmugan mudhala vanavar thozhudhu ezha,
Veeradiyaale moovalagu alandhu,
Nattisai munivarum iympulan malara ,
Pothri cheykathir mudithuru nedumalan,
Radi mudiyariyu madhara vadanir.
When the four faced Brahma and other devas were saluting him,
Lord Vishnu measured the entire world with his two steps,
And this made the sages in all four directions enthralled ,
And worship Him with a shining crown,
But he himself tried to find out the feet and head of Lord Shiva.
Kadu muranena magi mun kalan,
Thezhthalamuruva vidanthu pinnei .
Thoozhi mudhalva chayachaya vendru,
Vazhuthiyum kanaa malaradiyinaigal
Appearing as a wild boar and digging the seven nether worlds,
Lord Vishnu got tired and praised “Victory to the foremost of the world”,
As he was not in a position to find your flower like feet.
Vazhuthutharkku elithai vaar kadal ulaginil,
Yanai mudhalaa verum peeraaya,
OOna mili yoniyul vinai pizhaithu,
Manuda pirappinun mathavu thara,
Theenamil kirumi cheruvinir pizhaithum.
For easily seeing those feet , in this world,
Which is surrounded by a wide broad sea,
The many beings entered the wombs,
Of animals from ant to elephant and after exhausting the Karma,
Took finally the birth as man and in their stay,
In the womb , they fought for survival with many other insects,
Oru mathithandri yinirumayir pizhaithu ,
Mirumathi vilaivain orumayir pizhaithum,
At the end of one month they got a separate form,
At the end of two months they survived and became more strong
Mummathi thannula madham pizhaithu,
Meeriru thingalir per irul pizhaithu,
Manju thingalin munchudhal pizhaithu,
Maru thingali oorular pizhaithum,
In the third month they did not get drowned in the womb fluid,
In the fourth month they spent their time in darkness,
In the fifth month they survived by not getting aborted,
In the sixth month their body grew further and they survived
Ezhu thingalir thazh puvi pizhaithu,
Mettu thingalir kattamum pizhaithu,
Monpathil varu thuru thunbamum pizhaithum
After surviving the lowering in the seventh month
After surviving several problems in the eighth month,
After surviving the sorrow of the parting with the womb,
Thakka dasamathi thayodu than padum ,
Dukha sagara thuyaridai pizhaithum,
And when ten months are to be over , they ,
Along with their mother get drowned,
In the sea of sorrow but survived.
Andugadoru msdaintha vakkaalai,
Meendiyum miruthiyum menai pala pizhaithum,
Year after year they further grow up ,
And by staying and rising they further survived,
Kalai malamodu kadum pagar pasi nisi,
Velai nithirai yathirai pizhaithum,
They further survived by answering natural calls ,
Struggle with the great hunger of the day ,
And sleep during the time of the night ,
Karum kuzhar chevai vennagai karmayi,
LOrungiiya chayanerungi yun madarthu,
Kachara nimirnthu kadirthu mun panai,
Theythidai varutha vezhundhu pudai pran,
Theerkidai pogaa vila mulai madar than,
Koortha nayana kollayir pizhaithum,
After further surviving from theft tried by the sharp eyes,
Of women with jet black hair , reddish lips, pretty smile,
Who were Well made up , painted , walking straight ,
With the well endowed breasts which were held ,
Aloft and pushed in front and gave pain to the middle part ,
Pitha ulagar perum thurai parappinun ,
Matha kalirenu mavaa vidai pizhaithm,
After further surviving from the exuberant elephant,
Of desire , which came because of living among people,
Who are mad after the pleasures of life on earth,
Kalvi yenum pal kadar pizhaithum.
Chelvam menum mallalir pizhaithum,
After surviving from the pride of several oceans of learning,
After surviving from the sorrow caused by botheration caused by the wealth,
Nal kuravennum tholvidam pizhaithum,
Pul varambaaya pal thurai pizhithum,
After surviving from the horror of poverty,
After surviving several bad conducts and character
Deivam yenbadhor chitha mundagi ,
Munivilathathor porulathu karudhalum,
Maaru koru maya shakthigal,
Veru veru tham mayai kat odungina
They understood that there is something called God,
And that it is without any hatred,
But several thoughts sent by illusion,
Did not allow this thought to rise.
Aathamaanaar ayalavar koodi,
Nathigam pesi nathazhambu yerinar
The dear neighbors joined together ,
And talked that god is not there,
Till their toungue had a scar.
Chuthamennum thol pasu kuzhaangal,
Pathi yazhaithu padarinar perugavum,
Those who called themselves as their relations,
And were like a group of ordinary beings,
Called and dragged them and told them not to go after God
Virathame paramaga vedhiyarum,
Chathagamagave Chathiram kattinar
Even the Brahmins who observe penance,
Showed shastras to dissuade us
Samaya vadhika datha mathangale,
Vamaithvathaga varathi malainthanar
Even people of various religious beliefs,
Were unnecessarily proud of their beliefs
Mindiya mayaa vadha mennum,
Chanda marutham chuzhithadi thaa arthu
The words of people supporting concept of illusion,
Would make your thoughts confused like a storm.
Ulagayutham yenum ondirar pambin,
Kalabedatha kadu vida meythi
Those who support worldly needs ,
Are like a shining poisonous snakes,
And their teachings are like poison.
Athir peru mayayena pala chjoozhavum,
They confuse you all and does not allow all of you,
To understand what is right or wrong
Thappame thaambi pidithathu chaliyaa,
Thazhalathu kanda mezhukadhu pola,
Thozhuthula murugi yazhuthudal kambithu
The one who catches the proper path and travels ,
Is like wax brought near a burning ember,
His mind melts and he salutes the God and becomes speechless
Aadiyum alariyum padiyum paraviyum,
Kodirum pedahayum kondathu vidathenum,’
Padiyeyagi nallidayaraa vanbin,
Dancing , shouting , singing , following ,like a pliers and like ignorant men,
Does not change at any moment from the chosen path
Pasumarathani arainthar pola,
Kasivathu perugi kadalena marugi
Like a nail driven in a living tree,
Their mind melts and like a sea it roars
Agam kuzhaindhu anukoolamai mey vidhirthu,
Sakambe yendru thammai chirippu
Their inside melts and their body shivers in support,
And the world laughs at them like a ghost
Naanathu ozhindhu naadavar pazhithurai,
Poonathuvaga konuthalindri
They loose sense of shame and take criticisms ,
As ornaments and their minds are not worried
Chathuri zhantharimal kondu charum,
Gathiyahu paramavadhisayamaga
You should increase knowledge and decrease pride,
For there is nothing as great as salvation,
And it is only right to wonder about it.
Kathaa manamena kadariyum padariyum,
Mathor deivam kanavilum ninayathu
Like a calf towards its mother cow,
They shout as well as become nervous,
And no other God comes to them even in their dreams
Aruparam thoru vana vaniyil vanthu,
Guruparanaagi yaruliya perumayai
My fame is because of the God,
Who came from a place far above the world,
And became my teacher and blessed me,
Chirumai yendru igazhaadhe , thiruvadi yinayai,
Piri vinai yariya nizhalathu pola,
Do not blame that god’s behavior as ordinary,
For like the shadow is never separated from the body,
The devotees should alwa
