Meaning:
Am the slave of all who bow down as devotees.
Am slave of the slaves of those who sing only the
Supreme.
Am slave of those who kept their mind/intellect
completely with civa.
Am slave to all born at thiruvArUr.
Am slave to those who touch the Holy Form all three
times.
Am slave to the sages who wear fully holy ash.
Am slave to the slaves of the ones beyond - who leaned
towards the Feet (of God).
ArUran (I), am devoted to the beloved Lord of ArUr.
Notes:
1. The devotee groups referred here are
1) Devotees, 2) God singers, 3) Who fixed their mind
on God, 4) born at thiruvArUr, 5) shivAchAryas (those
who touch and worship the shivalingam three times a
day) 6) ash smeared seekers, 7) All the devotees who
live(d) beyond in terms of time, geography etc etc.
2. It would not be just to state in short sentances
the context of this song, for giving which song the
splendid cundharar came to this world, as cekkizar
puts. http://www.shaivam.org/nachund2.html has some
brief of that. When the whole periya purANam is
nothing but the expansion of this padhikam, what else
needs to be said about its glory ?!
3. While cundharar mentioned some of the great
devotees - ancestors & contemporaries - he also did
not forget to tell his humbleness to the devotees of
various kinds. This beautifully covers all the other
devotees whose names did not get explicit mention.
"appAlum aDichchArn^dhAr aDiyArkkum aDiyEn"
marvelously sums up the vision and great humbleness of
this saint.
4. The complete thiruth thoNDath thogai is available
at http://www.shaivam.org/nathokai.html The life
history of the great devotees mentioned in this
padhikam following periya purANam could be found at
http://www.shaivam.org/naayan_f.html
