The Song of Thaayumaanavar

Kallaal erindhum kaivillaal adithum kanimadhura

Sollaal thudhithumnar pachilai thooviyum thondarinam

Ellaam pizhaithanar anbatra naan ini aedhuseivaen

Kollaa viradhiyar naernindra mukkatgurumaniyae!


- Thaayumaanavar💐

-----------------------------

EXPLANATION:

----------------

⭐Saakiya Nayanar worshipped Lord Shiva by throwing stone at Lingam daily.  At first, Nayanar followed Buddhism but later converted to Shaivism. In order to convince the Buddhists, he would throw a stone daily at the lingam.  It looks like Nayanar commits an act of violence but he had pure devotion towards Lord Shiva in his heart♥️.

------------

⭐Arjuna of Mahabharata did penance, fought with Lord Shiva with his bow and arrow🏹 and got Pasupathastra from Lord Shiva 

------------

⭐Thirunavukkarasar, Thirugnanasambandhar,  Sundarar, Manickavasagar sang🎶 devotional hymns in praise of Lord Shiva.  

------------

⭐Kannappa Nayanar worshipped Lord Shiva by offering him a leaf🌿 with pure devotion. 

------------

By these acts, they all obtained the grace of Lord Shiva.  Here Thaayumaanavar expresses his sorrow😔 as he is not having the same kind of devotion as the above mentioned great peoples in this song.
