01 - 116 - Avvinaikku Ivvinai - Meaning - English

Sambandar Thevaram - padhigam 1.
116 - podhu (common) (paṇ : viyāḻakkuṟiñji )

சம்பந்தர் ததவாரம் - பதிகம் 1.116 - பபாது ( பண் : வியாழக்குறிஞ்சி )
Translation by: V. Subramanian
=====================================
Padhigam background:
Sambandar and his entourage were staying at a place called Thiruchengode (near Erode) during one of
his tours to various temples. It around the time when the rainy season had just ended and early part of
winter had just started. Many in his entourage developed fever with chills. They reported their plight to
Sambandar.
Sambandar felt that such fevers are not uncommon in that season in that region. But he also felt that
such illnesses should not afflict the true devotees. What one experiences in this life is the result of past
karma. Hence, Sambandar sang this padhigam in which he affirms in every song that bad karma and its
ill effects will not afflict the devotees.
By the time he completed singing this padhigam, all devotees in his entourage had been cured of their
fever. (Further, as per Periya Puranam, the entire town/area became free of that fever that that moment).
Note: Even though we know the place (sthalam) where this padhigam was sung, this padhigam is not
considered as a padhigam for that place because the name of that sthalam is not stated in the songs of
this padhigam. Thus, this is considered as a 'common' (general - not place-specific) padhigam.

O devotees! You know the saying that what one experiences now is the result that person's past karma.
Will it not be your fault if you remain without seeking a way to escape this? We are all His servants
(devotees). Let us do holy service and worship our Lord's holy feet. Our past karma will not come and
touch us. (i.e. our past karma will be destroyed and hence we will be free of suffering). I declare so in
the name of the dark-throat of our Lord!
Notes:
• Holy service: Covers various acts of service to God, temples, and devotees.

• Saiva siddhantham talks of 4 paths - sariyai, kiriyai, yogam, gnanam.
'sariyai' (caryā) - covers service with physical action - such as making garlands, keeping the
temple premises tidy, helping other devotees, etc.
'kiriyai' (kriyā) - worship involving body and mind - external and internal - such as performing
'puja' (abhishekam, archana, etc) with mantras - done at home, temple, etc.
'yOgam' (yōga) - This is the yogic path involving control of body and mind. Path of yoga which
consists in the mental worship of Šiva in His subtler Form;
'gnAnam' (ñāṉa) - Path of wisdom which consists in the realization of God as transcending form
and formlessness;
• tiru-nīla-kaṇḍam (= śrī nīla kaṇṭham = holy dark throat): In this song (and in all other
songs of this padhigam), this phrase occurs at the end. Sambandar is invoking Siva's holy dark
throat to declare that karma will not afflict the devotees.

O devotees! We do holy service by maintaining gardens (for flowers used in worshiping Siva) and
digging many tanks (for use by temples and devotees). We pluck flowers and, with a tender heart
soaked in devotion, say Siva's glory such as, "You burnt three forts by shooting an arrow", and worship
Him twice daily. We are His devotees. Our bad karma will not come and touch us. (i.e. our past karma
will be destroyed and hence we will be free of suffering). I declare so in the name of the dark-throat of

Lord!
We are devotees. Let us worship Siva praising Him variously such as - "You have spread-out matted
locks. You have various weapons such as a trident (that has three leaf-shaped blades), a club, and a
battle-axe. (We are not slaves of pleasures enjoyed through the five senses). You have bought us from
the sensual pleasures enjoyed with women and various other pleasures and You have made us Your
slaves". Our bad karma will not come roaring and harm us. I declare so in the name of the dark-throat
of our Lord!.
Notes:
• In a padhigam, as they are one set of songs, sometimes we have to infer some words or phrases
from earlier songs in that padhigam to properly understand a song. Thus, in this verse, the
phrases - "We are devotees. Let us worship Siva praising Him variously such as" has been

inferred from an earlier song (#2).
• "mulait-taḍam mūḻgiya pōgaṅgaḷum": The word "mulai" means breast. "pōgam" is the
Tamilized version of the Sanskrit word "bhōga". Thus, this phrase refers to sensual pleasures.

Lord!
We are devotees. Let us worship Siva praising Him variously such as - "O Lord! On account of Your
greatness, You crushed Ravana (who was so strong that no one dared to fight him) and then bestowed
Your grace on him. We have renounced this worldly life, and cut off our future births! Our hearts melt
in love for Your holy feet. We worship You with flowers. We are Your devout slaves". Our unholy bad
karma will not touch us. I declare so in the name of the dark-throat of our Lord!.
Notes:
• Ravana was so powerful that no one dared to fight him. Thus, Sambandar describes him as "the
unopposed demon". ("arakkaṉ" is the Tamil form the Sanskrit word "rākṣasa" = demon);
• "We have cut off our future births" - Karma is the root cause for births. When all karma has
been destroyed, then there is no more future births. Worshiping Siva with intense devotion and
renouncing worldly life (by getting away from the worldly attachments) ensures destruction of
karma.
• Sambandar, in the 8th song of his padhigams, usually mentions the episode of Ravana lifting
Kailasa mountain and getting crushed. The symbolism is that even a great sinner can be
redeemed if he repents and prays. (For more details about this, see the discussion of the 8th
song of padhigam 1.1 - thodudaiya seviyan).

We are devotees. Let us worship Siva praising Him variously such as - "O Lord! You were impossible
to be reached by Brahma (who is seated on a fragrant lotus flower) and Vishnu, when they argued and
tried to seek Your top and feet when You stood there with a visible form (of infinite column of fire).
You reveal yourself to devotees when You wish. We bow and worship You. We are Your devout slaves".
Our angry karma will not touch us. I declare so in the name of the dark-throat of our Lord!.

Notes:
• Sambandar, in the 9th song of his padhigams, usually mentions the episode of Brahma and
Vishnu trying to reach Siva's feet and top when Siva stood as an infinite column of fire in front
of them. The symbolism is that arrogance will prevent one from realizing God. Siva bestows
His grace only when one worships Him with devotion. (For more details about this, see the
discussion of the 9th song of padhigam 1.1 - thodudaiya seviyan).

Lord!
Some have become Buddhists. Some have becomes Jains and discarded their dress (i.e. go around
naked). They have no good fortune. They have lost the enjoyment of both this life and afterlife. They
have no refuge. We are devotees. Let us worship Siva praising Him variously such as - "O Lord! You
wear fragrant kondrai flowers on your twisted matted locks. We worship Your holy feet". Our fire-pit-
like karma will not touch us. I declare so in the name of the dark-throat of our Lord!.
Notes:
• In almost all padhigams of Sambandar, he repudiates (rejects / condemns) Buddhism and
Jainism in the 10th song. (For more background on this, see discussion of the 10th song in
Sambandar's first padhigam 1.1 - "thodudaiya seviyan").
• kondrai : Thevaram verses contain frequent references to Siva's wearing kondrai flower. It is -
Indian laburnum - Cassia fistula. It is a tree that produces yellow flowers. More info on this
flower can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia_fistula

Thirugnana Sambandar, who knows the greatness of the holy feet of Siva, the Lord of Devas, has sung
this set of ten songs of good Tamil. If any devotees who worship our dear Lord Siva with the intent of
reaching His feet in this birth itself but are forced to take another birth due to accumulated karma, those
who recite these songs will reach the celestial world full of enjoyment.

Notes:
• In every padhigam of Sambandar, the final song will usually contain the following information:
◦ The place (sthalam) where he sang that padhigam.
◦ His own name with various descriptive phrases.
◦ The benefit that a devotee will get by singing that padhigam with devotion
• This padhigam is a "general / common" padhigam that is not place-specific.
