Mars for success in land deals

The glory of the Lord of the temple is praised by a host of saints and pundits as Tirugnana Sambandar, Tirunavukkarasar, Arunagirinathar, Kumara Guruparar, Chidambara Munivar, Ramalinga Adigal, Padikkasu Thambiran, Kalamega Pulavar and Vaduganatha Desikar of Darumapura Aadheenam.   This is the 16th Lord Shiva Temple on the northern bank of Cauvery praised in Thevaram and Tirupugazh hymns.

Lord Shiva is a swayambumurthi in the temple. The five towers – Gopurams of the temple are on a straight line. The Maragatha Linga (Emerald Linga) is very famous. There are two flag posts-Kodimaram before the presiding deity made of silver and gold. Navagrahas the nine planets are generally in the front side of the sanctum facing different directions in Shiva temples. Here they are behind the sanctum on a straight line obeying the presiding Lord blessing the devotees freeing them of their adverse aspects, it is believed.

The temple is protected by Lord Bhairava in the east, by Lord Veerabadra in the west, Lord Vinayaka in the south and Mother Kali in the north.  The temple with its five tier Rajagopuram is facing west.  The temple belongs to Darumapuram Aadheenam of Tiru Kayilaya Parambara – descendants of Kailash dynasty.

          வைத்தியர் வேடத்தில் சிவன்

Devotees from all parts of South India throng the temple as Lord Vaidyanatha is the the Kula Devatha of many families.  People pray here for remedy from various ailments, boils, pimples and scars.  They get the special oil from the temple and apply them on the body.  As this is the place where Danvantri Siddha attained Samadhi, people pray here for relief from various ailments.

Many Siddhas in days of yore performed abishek to Lord of this place with nectar and gained many boons.  The nectar used for the abishek mixed with the holy spring.  18 theerthas are mixed in this tank which cures all diseases people suffer from.  When Sage Sadananda was performing penance here, he saw a snake trying to devour a frog.  As the incident disturbed his penance, he cursed them.  Since then, no snake or frog comes near this tank. 

The place is also known as Pullirukkuvelur. Pul means Bird-here the eagle king Jatayu the noblest character in Ramayana in the service of Lord Sri Rama, Irukku the Rig Veda, Vel-Lord Muruga and Oor the place make the name Pul Irukku Vel Oor = Puulirukkuvelur.

       முருகனுக்கு பூஜை செய்யும் சம்பாதி

The place is the headquarters of medical science that offers cure for 4448 diseases, it is said.  A medicine ball is made of the anthill sand, abishek water, veppilai the neem leaves and abishek sandal and abishek sacred ash.  Consuming this brings total relief for any disease.  Those suffering from skin problems get the punugu oil, apply it on their body for relief.  Lord Vaidyanatha cures not only the physical pains of the people but also cures them from the recurring disease of births and deaths.  He grants every wish of the people, jobs, wedding, children, mental peace, relief from planetary problems etc.  According to scriptures, worshipping Lord facing west brings the devotee the benefit of worshipping in 1000 Shiva temples.  Both Lord Aadhi Vaidyanatha in the entrance of the temple and the presiding deity Vaidyanatha are facing west.  Lord Muruga got His Vel weapon from this place only.  Lord Sri Rama worshipped here.

The place of Mars-Sevvai in the horoscope of a person decides his/her wedding prospectus and other living conditions.  Mars covers 7 years in one’s life.  For those facing adverse effects, special pujas are performed for solution of their problems.  People pray to Angaraka-Sevvai-Mars for success in land deals, freedom from debt burdens and joint pains in the body.  People do the prayers on Kruthika star days and Tuesdays undertaking fasting and performing abisheks offering clothing in red.

Jatayu Kundam-pit:  Jatayu the eagle engaged in the service of Lord Rama was killed when he prevented Ravana from abducting Mother Sita.  As requested by him, Sri Rama performed the last rites for the bird in the Vibuthi Gundam here.  A king, Veerasenan by name came here with his son suffering from tuberclosis , bathed in the theertha and offered sweet nivedhanas.  He consumed the nivedhana with his son.  His son was cured completely.  

As a beloved son of Lord Vaidyanatha and Mother Thaiyal Nayaki, Lord Muruga in the temple is praised as Chella Muthukumaraswami – Chella-beloved.   The Prasad containing items used in the Arthajama Puja as described above is an effective medicine for various diseases devotees suffer from.  Lord Muruga enjoys all prominence in the temple. Hence all festivals are dedicated to Him.

Pujas to Lord and Mother are offered only after pujas to Lord Muruga.  A 10 day festival is celebrated in January-February beginning from Tuesday.  28 day Panguni Brahmmotsavam is celebrated in March-April.  Of the Navagrahas (9 planets) importance temples in the state, this belongs to Mars-Angaraka.  Lord Muruga is facing west.  A medicine prepared with sacred ash, anthill sand and oil is an effective medicine for leprosy.

Lord Muruga is always worshipping His divine Father and Mother in the temple.  While the Navagrahas are generally seen in the front side of the sanctum sanctorum, they are behind the presiding deity here.  Lord Rama had worshipped in this temple.  Mother Thaiyal Nayaki ensures the welfare of the children.  Planet Angaraka-Mars blesses the devotees on his Goat Vahan on Tuesdays.  Medical students pray here to pass their exams with distinction.

Iyarpagai Nayanar attained mukti in Thiru Sayakkaadu

Saint Tirunavukkarasar and Saint Thiru Nyana Sambanthar had sung the praise of Lord in his Thevaram hymns.  This is the 9th Shiva temple on the northern bank of Cauvery praised in Thevaram hymns.

Temple: Chaya Vaneswarar

Chola King Kotchengannan built many Shiva temples, majority of them are of Mada style.  Mada temples are the ones in which an elephant cannot enter.  This is also a Mada temple.

Iyarpagai Nayanar, one among the 63 nayanars was born and attained salvation in this place.  His wife was equally a Shiva devotee.  To prove the highest standard of his Bhakti, Lord Shiva came to his house as a devotee and demanded his wife to be presented to him.  Nayanar had no hesitation and offered her instantaneously.  Wife did not object.  Nayanar asked the devotee what he should do next.  The guest devotee said that Nayanar should accompany him with his wife as an escort as the people of the place and his relatives could attack them.  Nayanar agreed and escorted them with a long sword till the border of the place.  Nayanar resisted the opposition of the people and took the guest Shiva devotee safely till the border.  He was asked to return then.  All of a sudden, the devotee disappeared.  Lord Shiva with Mother Uma appeared and said that the play was staged to prove Nayanar’s Shiva Bhakthi, blessed him with all longevity and promised salvation to him.

Lord Muruga in the temple blesses devotees with a bow in hand promising them all protection.  It is said that this Muruga idol was found from the sea.  He is wearing an ankelet-Veerakandara Mani-as powerful as the Vel gifted by Mother Parvathi.  Those facing troubles from enemies worship Muruga in this temple.

Athithi, mother of Indira had a desire to worship Lord Chaya Vaneswarar in this place.  She came to earth for the purpose.  Missing his mother, Indira found her in this place.  To fulfill the wish of his mother, he tried to take the very temple to his place pulled by his elephant Iravadam.  While the elephant began to pull the temple, Ambica expressed a sound that was sweeter than a nightingale.  She came to be known as Kuyilinum Inia Mozhiyal.  Lord appeared before Indira and advised him to drop his idea and be benefitted by his worship in this place itself.

[[A note on this poem: Civapata Itayar, the father of Nyanacampantar, was in the regular habit of reading the verses composed by his son and then having his food.
The verses became so voluminous that he could not perform his daily routine.
He requested his son to compose a verse which would include the substance of the verses sung till then.
In compliance with his request, Campantar composed this poem.]]

you who transcends all kinds of realities and is beyond the reach of mind and speech, assumed a form out of volition to perform the five functions, namely, creation, protection, destruction, veiling and bestowing grace.

you assumed two forms namely Cakti and Civam to perform the five functions which are bestowing grace on all, with the help of the manifest primordial cause of the material world and the conception of individuality.

you are one combining with that cakti.

you became the trinity of Piraman, Visnu, and Rudra respectively to create, to preserve and to destroy the five elements from the space down to the earth, the sun and moon, tevar and other souls.

Having placed Piraman and Vishnu on the left and the right you became one and at the same time having three forms.

you showed the path of enlightenment to the four sages who praised your lustrous feet in the morning, noon and evening when you sat under the shade of the banyan tree.
[[The four sages are : (1) Akattiyan (2) Pulattiyan, (3) Canakan, (4) Canarkumaran.
The first two names are not those found in Kantapuram.
Instead we find there the names Canantanan and Canatanan (Kantapuranam, monam ninkupatalam, 31)]]

you dispelled darkness having for your eyes sun, moon and fire, [[as the souls beginning from Piramaṉ could not perceive all things clearly with their own sense of light.]]

you bore on your head the big Kaṅkai, the cobra, and the crescent which does not grow to its full size at any time.

you held in your hands a trident of three prongs (=timurti) and a single handle which is the symbol of praṇavam, a young deer whose four legs are the four Vētam-s, and a cobra with five hoods which is symbolic of the mantiram consisting of five letters (pañcākkaram)

you flayed the skin of an elephant having two tusks and three musts and a hanging jaw and which frowns at its own shadow, and covered your person with it.

you completely destroyed the avuṇar killing them in their own stronghold, to make the three cities and the world tremble with fear, by discharging an arrow by bending the two ends of the bow of the peerless Mēru mountain.

you stood permanently to be praised by the celestials who had concentrated the five sensations, the four inner seats of thought, feeling and volition, the three qualities of catvam, rajōguṇam and tāmacam and the winds, pirānaṉ and apāṉaṉ, in the nerve-pleris in the body, described as a four-petalled lotus, situated between the base of the sexual organ and the anus.

with a mind concentrated on the feet of the god, having investigated the two births and performing the oblations thrice in a day, and chanting the four vētams and performing the five daily sacrifices and learning the six aṅkams and chanting the letter Om (which is called piraṇavam)

you wished to stay in piramapuram where the brahmins who cause the rain to fall by offering oblations to the tēvar, worship him.

you desire Vēṇupuram where the bees hum.
[[An acuraṉ, Kacamukaṉ, came to fight with Intiraṉ, by name Vēṇu.
He was defeated by the acuraṉ;
Intiraṉ descended to the earth and appealed to god and worshipped him in Piramapuram.
He ordered Kaṇēcaṉ to assume the same form of the acuraṉ and kill him with his right tusk and to rehabilitate Vēṇu in heaven.
Kaṇēcaṉ did accordingly and because of that Piramapuram got the name Vēṇupuram.]]

Having been inimical and lost their strength, you desired to stay in Pukali which gave refuge to tēvar.
[[Curaṉ conquered the city of Amarāvati belonging to Intiraṉ.
Intiraṉ was defeated in the fight with Cūraṉ.
He and other tēvars thought that there was no other refuge except the feet of Civaṉ and came to the earth.
They worshipped god and complained about the harassment caused by cūraṉ.
So he sent Cuppiramaṇiyaṉ to conquer Cūraṉ and restore heaven to Intiraṉ.
So Piramapuram got the name of Pukali.]]

you were in Veṅkuru which was surrounded by the four raging seas.
[[Bṛhaspati, the preceptor of the tēvar, became proud that there was no other Lord except himself;
Civaṉ knew that and wanted to put down his pride.
So he relieved him from the post of preceptor to the teVar.
The guru came to the earth and worshipped god to forgive his pride and to protect him.
God restored him to his former position;
so Cīkāḻi got the name of Veṅkuru.]]

you dwelt in Tōṇipuram which floated above the floods when the three worlds were submerged during deluge.

you were in Pūntarāy which was worshipped by Caṅkaniti and Patumaniti which assumed the forms of a flower and a garland, and which do not become impoverished.
[[Cankaniti and Patumaniti thought of a means by which they can get a boon not to get impoverished;
they came to Tōṇipuram and worshipped god.
God was pleased and asked them what they wished for.
They expressed their wish;
so god granted their wish and held them in his hands at the time of the grand destruction.
Hence the name of Pūntarāy.]]

you resided in Civapuram which is considered to be an eminent and pearless city.
[[Tēvars and Viṣṇu churned the ocean of milk to obtain nectar.
Viṣṇu served nectar to teVar having seated them in a row.
At that time Rāku and Kētu, the two serpents disguised themselves as tēvar.
When they were about to have the nectar Viṣṇu cut off their heads with the ladle with which he was serving nectar.
They came to Cīkāḻi to get their bodies and as the two heads worshipped there it got the name of Civapuram]]
you were pleased to destroy the great strength of Arakkaṉ (Irāvaṇaṉ) who lifted the peerless mountain, Kailācam.

you desired the city of Puṟavam.
[[Piracāpati, a brahman, abused Kantamaṉ, another rishi: you have not eschewed sexual pleasure`.
Kantamaṉ cursed him to become a pigeon which will feed on human flesh only.
When it was wandering in search of human flesh, it saw a coḻa King wandering and asked him, can you supply me human flesh?
` The king asked about the quantity it required.
It demanded half of his body.
When it was not equal to the weight of the pigeon, the king cut all the flesh in his body and as a result of that he fell down fainting.
This pigeon thought about a way of restoring the body to the king.
So it came to Cīkāḻi and worshipping god and prayed for two boons, one by which the King would get back body and by the other it would be free from the curse.
God granted its wish and hence Cīkāḻi got the name of puṟavam.]]

you had the properties which could not be known by Māl who was sleeping in the ocean (of milk) and Piramaṉ of four faces.

you resided in Caṇpai [[During the avatāram of Krishna, the sons of Krishna went to an ashram where of many rishis, had assembled disquising one of them as a pregnant woman and asked out of fun, what will be the sex of the child?
They god wild and cursed This lady will not give birth either to a male or a female child.
Only an iron pestle will be born.
As a result of the curse he gave birth to an iron pestle.
When Krishna heard this, he thought, The curse of the sages is not a slight one` and ordered the pestle to be reduced to iron filings and to be thrown into the sea.
It was done accordingly.
One part which was in size like the seed of the margosa tree escaped being filed, was swallowed by a fish.
It was caught by a fisherman.
He fixed it at the end of his arrow.
All other filings were washed by the waves and, reaching the shore, grew as weeds by name (caṇpu).
The sons of Krishnaṉ divided themselves into two groups and removing the weed, played hitting each other with it and died.
When Krishnan heard this he knew his end was drawing near.
He was lying on a banyan leaf folding one leg and lifting high another leg and was in yōga position.
That fisherman who came in search of flocks of birds.
He mistook the lifted leg to be a kite and shot an arrow.
Krishnaṉ breathed his last when that arrow hit him.
When the blemish of his curse reaches the sages and distressed him, the sages went to cīkāḻi and worshipped Civaṉ.
They prayed to god, Lord, on account of our curse all the sons of Krishnaṉ died hitting themselves with the caṇpai.
That evil effect should not afflict us.
The Lord removed the blot that afflicted the sages, and as a result of that, those sages got the name of caṇpai muṉi and the shrine got the name of caṇpai.]]

you wished to stay in Kāḻi which could not be properly understood even at the end of the aeon by amaṇar who doubt the fruits of action mentioned in vētam-s, ākamam-s, and purāṇam-s, and by buddhists who eat their food consisting of six kinds of flavours, before noon.
[[The cruel serpent, Kāli, worshipped Civaṉ here and hence the name, Cīkāḻi;
ḷ is changed into ḻ.]]

you were fond of the city of Koccai which was worshipped by the sage who performed sacrifices and was proficient in music which has the fundamental seven notes.
[[Parācaraṉ, the oldest of the piramarishis, abused all others, you are all family men;
you do not practise any act of austerity.
They cursed him, you will have intercourse with maccakanti and the stench of fish will not leave you.
Everything came to pass according to that curse.
That stench spread to a distance of ten miles.
He thought: there is no one else except Civaṉ who will rid me of this offensive smell.
He came to Cīkāḻi and worshipped the Lord, who, pleased with his worship, asked what he wanted.
He submitted to the Lord, you must rid me of the bad odour of fish.
The Lord said, He is a Koccaimuṉi and removed the offensive smell and bestowed on him sweet smell.
The place also got the name of Koccai.]]

you assumed a form in which there are the six words of piratti, pirattiyākaraṉ, tulliyum, tulliyātitam, vittai and avittai, the five kinds of poetry namely ācu, maturam, cittiram, vittāram, and virayam, the four vētams namely irukku, yacur, cāmam and atarvaṇam, and the three tenses past, present and future.

Being one half male and the other female in which form the Catti and Civam are combined in one and being Civam also who has no limits.
you were in the ancient city of Kalumalam desiring the solemn declarations of the one who was born in the holy Kavuṇiya Kōttiram, in a brahmin family which has no blemish.
These things are known only to that god who eats from the skull of Piraman.
As you possess the above mentioned attributes, those who meditate upon you will not be born again in this wide world.

why should we be afraid of anything? Sivan is there to protect us.

Lord Siva granted darshan to the black sparrow

The temple is praised in Thevaram hymns of saints Gananasambandar, Appar and Sundarar.  This is the 121st Shiva temple on the southern bank of Cauvery praised by saints.

Sri Manathunai Nathar-Hrudaya Kamala Natheswarar Temple, Valivalam-610 207, Tirukuvalai Taluk, Nagapattinam district.

Moolavar                 : Manathunai Nathar (Hrudaya Kamala Nathar)
Amman / Thayar : Maazhai Onkanni (Madhyayadhakshi)
Thala Virutcham : Punnai
Theertham         : Chakkara theertham
Old year                 : 1000-2000 years old
Historical Name : Valivalam
City                         : Valivalam
District                 : Nagapattinam

Sun, Valian, Sage Karanamamunivar, Pandavas, Kochengatcholan and saint Arunagiriar had worshipped Lord in this temple.

Valivalam Valampuri Vinayaka, blessing the devotees coming to the temple is praised in the Thevarm hymn of Saint Sambandar.  The hymn begins with the line “Pidi athan uruvumai kolamigu kariathu”.  As a rule, chanting Thevaram hymns in any Shiva temple should begin with this song only.  The glory of Lord Valivalam Valampuri Vinayaka is great.

This is one of the Mada type temples built by Kochengat Cholan.  Lord Muruga in the temple is praised by saint Arunagiriar in his Tirupugazh hymns.

A man though noted for his high characters, committed some sins.  As a result, he was born as a Karikuruvi-black sparrow in his next birth.  This small bird had to face the harassment of its big counterparts.  In one such attack, it was bleeding.  It flew and took shelter in the hole of a tree.  A Shivayogi was teaching his disciples under the tree.  The sparrow listened carefully.  The yogi was telling his disciples, “Of all Shiva Sthalas (places) Madurai is great.  Of the sacred springs, Pottramarai in the temple is great.  Of Shiva Murthis, Chokkanatha is great.  There is none to equal Madurai.  Lord Somasundara-Chokkanathar is all merciful granting boons to His devotees.”

The sparrow heard the advice of the Yogi with all attention.  It also gained wisdom and enlightenment and understood the cause of its birth as a sparrow.  The bird few to Madurai and circumambulated the temple and had a dip in the Pottramarai tank in the temple.  It very sincerely prayed to Lord Somasundara for three days continuously.  Pleased Lord called the bird and taught the Mrutyunjaya Mantra.  The bird was further enlightened.  It appealed to Shiva to protect it from the attack of bigger birds as it was too tiny in size and prayed for strength to face such incidents.  Lord said that it would be stronger than all bigger birds.  The sparrow begged the boon for all sparrow species.  It got the name Valian-strong.  Based on this event, the place came to be known as Valivalam.

A hair of this sparrow came to this temple, worshipped Manathunai Nathar and attained salvation.

leaving deceit.
having stopped speaking cruel words.
purifying the heart.
banishing the acts in connection with love (Kāmam) to praise you uttering often according to my capability in a good manner your names in my tongue.
you appear before me and grant me your grace.

the sun and the moon which are moving and all other celestials.
are not clear in their minds with regard to you as they are seized with fear.
the brilliant light.
one who chants the cāmavētam!
who destroyed Kāmaṉ (cupid)!
I am confused in my mind.
appear before and grant your grace to me.

having separated myself from the ladies, children and relations who are ignorant and as large as the ocean.
I am unable to live since a long time.
knowing very often the painful diseases to afflict me.
my mind desires your names.
Civaṉ who dwells in valivalam where in the gardens bees penetrate into the flowers and hum like music.

Being always people who have knowledge of the ultimate reality, and completely leaving uttering lies.
renouncing pain which one has to suffer on account of desires.
god who dwells in the minds of just and impartial people!
who is the tender leaf in the community of the tēvar.
I who am as mean as a dog will languish.
I am uttering your names daily without ceasing.
you appear before me in the presence of the people of this world and grant me your grace.

when I go to sleep and eat I speak about your qualities only.
as the celestials who had no other refuge came and fell at your feet.
what return can I do to you who consumed the poison (to save their lives)?
I fear that there is deceit, pondering daily, on my part who is your slave.
[[The cause of the fear is due to the fact whether god would accept me or reject me because of my deceitful nature.

Civaṉ who has a tangled caṭai!
the embodiment of all virtues!
you shot an arrow to set fire to all the three forts of the enemies!
you have a skin of an elephant whom the celestials who do not wink praise as our god.

I do not possess the right conduct.
I shall be repeating your praise only.
grant me your grace appearing before me so that the grief which is the result of my acts may not distress me who is praising you daily, chanting your names.

Civan who dwells in potiyal!
one who dwells in pūvaṇam.
one who dwells in the shrine of Kayilai where beauty is shining.
one does not leave the attachment towards the minds of the devotees!
the cruel camaṇar and cākkiyar (buddhists) are unlucky people and are without intellect.
what will they do?

on Civan who wears on his head leaves of indian mesquit, konrai and datura flowers and who is in valivalam.
those who are able to recite all the ten songs which are fit for research, and composed by
Nyanacampantan, the chief of pukali, and a native of the country which is made fertile by the river ponni.
will be permanently united with civan who has an undying effulgence and whom the people of sincere penance long for.

Those who praise Sivan will enjoy happiness only.

The temple is praised in the hymns of Saivite saints Tiruganasambandar, Tirunavukkarasar and Sundarar.   In his Thevaram hymns, saint Thirugananasambandar sings the glory of the Lord in the following lines.   “No evil will touch those ever chanting the glory of the Universal Father gracing from Naalur Mayanam and who pressed the ten headed Ravana by His one toe and also gifted him a sword and life.” This is the 96th temple on the southern bank of Cauveri praised in Thevaram hymns.

The presiding deity graces sitting under a Vimana (roofing in the sanctum sanctorum) called Gajabrushta Vimanam.  This is a Mada type temple.

Belonging to the Chola period, the temple is a monument of all architectural beauty.  This was renovated in olden days by Chola king Aditya I.  The sanctum sanctorum is square in shape and the peak is shaped as a round ball.  Every pillar speaks of the aesthetic beauty.

The place, known as Chaturvedimangalam during the Chola days was also known as Naalvediyur being the Tamil version of the Sanskrit word.  The faith is that one worshipping in this temple may become a Vedic Scholar.

நீலத்தார் கண்டத்தான் நெற்றியோர் கண்ணினான்
ஞாலத்தார் சென்றேத்தும் நாலூர் மயானத்தில்
சூலத்தா னென்பார்பாற் சூழாவாந் தொல்வினையே.

5. கறையார் மணிமிடற்றான் காபாலி கட்டங்கன்
பிறையார் வளர்சடையான் பெண்பாக னண்பாய

இறையானென் றேத்துவார்க் கெய்துமா மின்பமே.

6. கண்ணார் நுதலான் கனலா டிடமாகப்

நண்ணா தவரெல்லாம் நண்ணாதார் நன்னெறியே.

7. கண்பாவு வேகத்தாற் காமனைமுன் காய்ந்துகந்தான்
பெண்பாவு பாகத்தான் நாகத்தோ லாகத்தான்
நண்பார் குணத்தோர்கள் நாலூர் மயானத்தை
எண்பாவு சிந்தையார்க் கேலா விடர்தானே.

8. பத்துத் தலையோனைப் பாதத் தொருவிரலால்
வைத்து மலையடர்த்து வாளோடு நாள்கொடுத்தான்
நத்தி னொலியோவா நாலூர் மயானத்தென்
அத்த னடிநினைவார்க் கல்ல லடையாவே.

9. மாலோடு நான்முகனும் நேட வளரெரியாய்
மேலோடு கீழ்காணா மேன்மையான் வேதங்கள்
நாலோடு மாறங்கம் நாலூர் மயானத்தெம்
பாலோடு நெய்யாடி பாதம் பணிவோமே.

10. துன்பாய மாசார் துவராய போர்வையார்
புன்பேச்சுக் கேளாதே புண்ணியனை நண்ணுமின்கள்
நண்பாற் சிவாயவெனா நாலூர் மயானத்தே
இன்பா யிருந்தானை யேத்துவார்க் கின்பமே.

11. ஞாலம் புகழ்காழி ஞானசம் பந்தன்றான்
நாலு மறையோதும் நாலூர் மயானத்தைச்
சீலம் புகழாற் சிறந்தேத்த வல்லாருக்
கேலும் புகழ்வானத் தின்பா யிருப்பாரே.

Civaṉ who has a red catai on which are spread a cobra as big as the mountain which crawls, on one side, cool crescent and datura flowers.
who wears on his chest a white sacred thread.
rebirth will not come at close quarters with those in whose minds love is increasing, thinking of the feet of Civaṉ who is in nālūr mayāṉam.

Civaṉ who wears a crescent on his head will dance beautifully in the cremation ground surrounded on all sides by (putams), according to the sound created by drum and conch.
sins will not hold in their grip eminent people who praise nālūr mayāṉam where annual festivals which are desired earnestly never cease;

about nālūr mayāṉam which good people worship with joined hands and praise and which is the abode of Civaṉ who gave completely all the moral instructions on that distant day to four sages of desirable fame, sitting under the shade of Kallāl tree, by his great grace.
all those who do not speak about that shrine are those who do not tread the ancient religion of caivam.

Civaṉ who wears beautiful koṉṟai flowers.
who dresses himself with the skin of a tiger capable of killing.
has a neck of blue colour.
has an eye on the forehead.
the accumulated old Karmams will not surround those who praise Civaṉ as the god with a trident, in nālūr mayāṉam to which people of this world go on a pilgrimage and praise it.

Civaṉ has a neck resembling the sapphire on account of the poison stationed there.
has a skull holds a battle-axe.
has a growing caṭai in which there is a crescent.
has as a half a lady very friendly to him.
happiness will reach those who praise Civaṉ as our master in nālūr mayāṉam which is surrounded on all sides by gardens which have abundant honey.

Civaṉ has a frontal eye.
the supreme being, as the light divine who dances singing vētams which are full of music, having fire as the dancing stage all those who do not approach nālūr mayāṉam of Civaṉ who shot an arrow on the cities of enemies, do not approach the path of virtue.

Civaṉ became great by destroying Kamaṉ long ago by the speed of the fire which spread from his frontal eye.
has a half in which a lady has spread herself.
sufferings will not happen to those who meditate upon nālūr mayāṉam where people who are friendly towards all, live.

pressing firmly with a single toe, the arakkaṉ who had ten heads.
crushing him under the mountain.
Civaṉ granted him long life in addition to a sword.
sufferings will not come near those who fix their thoughts on the feet of my father in nālūr mayāṉam where the sound of conch never ceases during times of worship.
[[conch blown during times of worship is one of rituals in temples;]]

Civaṉ has the eminence of not being able to be seen by Māl and Piramaṉ who has four faces, as he assumed the form of a growing fire, though they searched for its top and bottom in the sky and the underworld.
we shall pay homage to the feet of our Civaṉ who bathes in ghee along with milk and who dwells in nālūr mayāṉam and who is himself the four vētams and the six aṅkams.

without listening to the mean words of the amaṇar who are full of dirt which issues a very offensive smell and buddhists who cover their bodies with a cloth soaked in myrtle-dye.
devotees!
approach Civaṉ who is the embodiment of all virtues.
uttering the mantiram of civāya having restrained the senses.
those who praise Civaṉ who dwelt with pleasure in nālūr mayāṉam will enjoy happiness only.

on nālūr mayāṉam where the four vētams are chanted.
Nyāṉacampantaṉ who is native of Kāḻi which is praised by the people of the world.
fame will be appropriate to those who can praise, by being eminent by fame, the attributes of Civaṉ.
after death they will dwell in heaven happily.

Thirukudavayil Koneswarar

The shrine is praised in the hymns of Saint Tirugnana Sambandar.  This is the 94th Shiva Temple on the southern bank of Cauvery praised in hymns .

Lord Shiva is a Swayambumurthy in this Mada temple. Rays of Sun fall on the Lord for three days during Panguni month-March-April

Sri Koneswarar Temple, Kudavasal-612 601, Tiruvarur Dist.

Vinayaka of the temple is worshipped as Siddhi Vinayaka.  The Amrutha Theertham-sacred spring is outside opposite the temple.  On the bank of theertha is Sri Vinayaka in the name of Aadhi Gajanathar.  The structure is such that the Vimana of Aadhi Gajanathar is visible from the Lord’s shrine within the temple.  On the Masi Magam day, five deities-Panchamurthys, Lord Koneswarar, Mother Perianayaki, Lord Vinayaka, Lord Muruga and Lord Chandikeswara visit the Amrutha Theertha for Theerthavari festival.

Lord Muruga as Gunavayil Kumaran graces from a shrine in the prakara praised by Saint Arunagiriar in his Tirupugazh hymns.  There is a shrine for Idumban too.  There are two Bhairavas, one without the dog vahan.  Sun and Moon grace the devotees in sitting and standing form respectively.   Those who had failed to perform the rituals for their ancestors pray to Sun and Moon seeking pardon.  Sage Soodha before Lord Shiva appears worshipping the Lord.  There are also shrines for four Saivite Saints, Sundarar (one among the four saints) with Paravai Nachiar, Mother Saraswathi without Her Veena Mother Gajalakshmi and Saptha Madhas

Lord Shiva, as a swayambumurthy is facing west from a square stage-Chatura peeta.  The scar caused by the sharp nose of Garuda the eagle is visible on the Linga.  Mother Perianayaki with all the attributes of Mother Durga graces the devotees from a separate shrine facing south.  She is worshipped as Bruhath (big) Durgambika.  There is no Durga in the Shiva goshta wall.  The temple was renovated by Kochengat Chola.  Saint Tirugnana Sambandar had mentioned this temple in his hymn as Ezhilkola Mada koil – beautiful mada temple.  As Lord Shiva granted his darshan from a high level place, it is praised as mini Kailash. 

Koneswarar, Soodha Maharshi, Sage Brughu and Thalappiar had worshipped Shiva here. The Lord is named Koneswarar as He loves (Ko) beings – Easwara-Lord.  As the mouth piece of Nectar pot (kudam) fell here, the place is called Kudavasal.  Lord is known also as Amudha Lingeswarar and Vanmeekanathar as He was in an Ant-hill-Vanmeekam.  Lord Kasi Viswanatha graces opposite the entrance.  The rays of Sun fall on the Lord for three days during March-April.

There are varieties of Vinayakas in the temple, Aadhi Gajanathar on the bank of Amudha Theertham, Anumadhi Vinayaka permitting devotees to proceed to main shrine, Maalai Vazhipattu Vinayaka-Vinayaka for evening worship to whom the first puja in the evening is dedicated and also a shrine for Twin Vinayakas

During the Great Floods-Pralaya, Lord Brahmma placed the Vedas in a nectar pot which too was washed by the floods and came to south.  To create the world again, Lord Shiva shot on the pot in the guise of a hunter.  The pieces fell at different places where Lord appeared as Swayambu Linga.  The mouth part of the pot fell at this place where too Lord appeared as a Swayambumurthy.  This was later covered by an ant-hill.  Vinatha, mother of Garuda was the slave of one Kathru.  Garuda wanted to rescue his mother from the bonds.  He flew to Devaloka and brought the nectar pot.  While returning, a demon tried to snatch the pot from Garuda.  He placed the pot on an ant-hill nearby and fought with the demon and defeated him.  When he came to take the pot, it was hidden in the ant-hill.  He tore the hill with his sharp nose and found a Shiva Linga there.  Lord granted darshan to him.  Garuda narrated the plight of his mother.  Lord rescued Vinatha from the bondage and made her free.  Garuda, as token of his gratefulness to Lord Shiva, built this temple.
