Meaning:
We are not subjects to anybody ! We are not afraid of
death !
We will not suffer in the hell ! We do not have
deception !
We are safe-guarded ! We do not know illness ! We
won't subdue !
Every day is pleasant, no pains.
To the Lord Who is not a subject to anybody else,
to that shankara, to the King with white conch ball in
the ear, as irrevocable slaves we shrunk under the
Parallel Floral Perfect Feet !!
Notes:
1. A song that sprang out of the unshakable confidence
on the Supreme that serve as undrying source of
courage
and vitalization on the basis of the devotion to the
Lord.
2. When the saint who held an esteemed position in
jainism returned to the glorious path of shaivism, the
jain pallava king sent a summon to him to appear in
his court and explain. The undaunted devotee as a
response to the emperor's messengers sang this
padhikam. (So it is called maRumARRath
thiruththANDakam. maRumARRam - response.)
3. How daringly the saint responds to the emperor ?!
It would be imprudent to fight against the mighty
without proper support. The saint had the full
confidence on the Divine of the divines - the Greatest
God. Only because he asserts very clearly that he has
shrunk himself into the shelter of Lord shiva's Feet,
he very confidently says, "Whomsoever you be I can't
oblige". If his master had been one who is in turn a
slave of somebody else then when the master's state
itself is subject to somebody's mercy, how could
he be confident ? But his master is One Who has none
above or peer to Him and is a benevolent One. His
slavery is to that Master is also not a temporary one
to be transferred to an inferior one, but is an
absolute irreversible slavery. The emperor, who
without realizing the Glory behind the great
saint gave the death penalty to him, had to finally
fall at the feet of this saint with all his might
turned useless ! The determination of this sage is
certainly marvelous and inspiring !
4. kuDi - subject; n^aman - divine of death/yama;
n^aDalai - fraud; Emam - safe-guard; kOmAn - king.
