Kandhar Anubhuti : Verse #43 - Once Desires are Lost, Union with Lord is Achieved

 


தூசா மணியும் துகிலும் புனைவாள் 

நேசா முருகா நினது அன்பு அருளால் 

ஆசா நிகளம் துகளாயின பின் 

பேசா அநுபூதி பிறந்ததுவே (43)


thoosa maniyum thugilum punaival

nesa muruga ninathu Anbu arulal

aasa nigalam thugalayina pin

pesa anubhuti piranthathuve! (43)




தூசா மணியும் - Defect free precious stones (and)

துகிலும்  - dress

புனைவாள் - wearing (Mother Valli)

நேசா - Lover

முருகா - Oh Lord Muruga! 

நினது அன்பு அருளால் - With your Love and Grace

ஆசா நிகளம்  - Bondage that is Desires

துகளாயின பின் - after being shattered 

பேசா - Silent

அநுபூதி - (Stage of ) Union 

பிறந்ததுவே - Was born


Short Meaning

Lord Muruga! You are the lover of Mother Valli who is adorned with peerless precious stones and wonderful dress. With your Love and Grace, the bonds of desires which were binding me to this pitiable existence were shattered, and I entered the state of Silent Union with Supreme divinity which is you! 


Gloss

In this verse, Sri Arunagiri, calls out to Lord Murugan, as the Lover of Mother Valli - This description is a regular theme across this work (Kandhar Anubhuti) - Here, Sri Arunagiri calls Lord Murugan as lover (நேசா) of Mother Valli who were peerless precious stones and wonderful dress (தூசா மணியும் துகிலும் புனைவாள் )


Desires are bonds that bind individual souls to a worldly existence. By cutting these bonds a soul is liberated. This is a constant theme across Hindu philosophy


1. Bhavaranya Kutarika (Lalitha Sahasranama) - Mother Lalitha is the axe that cuts the forest of bonds

2. bandhanan muksheeya ma'mrutaat (Maha Mrutyunjaaya mantra) - By liberating me from the bonds (of desires), give me immortality!

etc. 

Lord Subrahmanya with his Love and Grace for the devotee, destroys to pieces (துகளாயின) the bonds of desire (ஆசா நிகளம் ) - Once this is done, the devotee enters (பிறந்ததுவே) into the state of silent stillness (பேசா அநுபூதி)

It is important to know that the state of silence is not restricted just to words, but all senses and mind are in perfect stillness.
