Thus, babble the eight thousand crore names of the immortals, the Destroyer, the Lunatic, the Unborn
and they never leave you; with the laurel of konrai, hummed by the lined beetles
Oh the source of everything, enshrined at Paandi-kodu-mudi and fastened girdle of hooded serpent
where worship Naaraayana and Brahma; is praised in these words
Even if I happen to forget You, by ArUran, the servitor;
my tongue would only utter Nama Sivaaya. Those, who utter them, are free from misery.

thëvāram pathigam - song 7.048
(“thiru-pāndi-kodu-mudi”)
end notes
By Dr. S.N. Kandaswamy
A note on the thālam [thiru-pāndi-kodu-mudi]:

This sacred place is one of the significant sthalas I nKongu mandala. it seems from the references composed two pathigams on the significance and potency of the five-syllabled mantra
of the hymns that Karaiyur was the name of the city [VII 48.1, 4, 9, 10] and the shrine was [III 22:1-11; 49:1-11] and Thiru-naavukk-arasar, one pathigam [IV 11:1-10]. In the
known Kodumudi [V 81.5; VII 48.1, 4, 9, 10; XII 29.86]. However, in present days, Kodumudi Thiruvaasakam, references to the greatness of this mantra are many [VIII 1.1; 5.62;
has become the name of the sacred place. One can reach this sthala through bus from Thiruchy, 38.10, etc.]. Its mystic and esoteric meaning has been explicated int eh Meykanda
Karur or Erode. The river Kaaviri runs here in the north-south direction and the shrine is situated saastras an their commentaries.
on its souther banks. The thEvaaram trio composed hymns on this unique sthala [II 69; V 81; VII
48]. In the Cilapatikaaram [300 A.D.], the five syllabled mantra is mentioned [vide XI
128]. This mantra is also found in the Satarudriya, which according to A.P. Karmarkar
The Lord of the temple and His consort are respectively called Kodumutinaathar and - a non-Aryan document par excellence. For further details, vide The Religions of
Panmolinaayaki. The temple inscriptions provide details with regard to the liberal gifts of tax-free India, Vol. I, The Vratya or Dravidian systems, Bombay, 1950, pp. 51-2.
lands and gold coins by the royal and ordinary devotees to felicitate daily worship and celebrated
the periodical festivals. Also, they reveal the installation of som deities in the prahaara.
Arurar after visiting Painneeli, Inkoy malai, and other sacred sites approached Paandi-kodu-mudi
and out of intense devotion, poured out the hymns of this decad. SEkkilaar named this decad as
Namaccivaaya thiru-pathigam, perhaps from the refrain, sollum naa namaccivaayavE,
occurring in the last line of every hymn. He extols this pathigam to assure salvation to the entire
world: “ullegellaam uyyya uruthiyaam pathigam” [vide XII 29.83-88]. Then, he proceeded to
PErur in the same region. In this context, it is proper to note that Thiru-Nyaana-Sambanthar has
Page 14 of 16
The specific features of the Decad:
1. The efficacy of the five-syllabled mantra, peculiar to Saivism is stressed in this decad. 10. The automation of the tongue uttering the Panchaakshara is the result of the
conscious repetition of the mantra for a number of times.
2. The burden of the pathigam, unainaan marakkinum sollumnaa namaccivaayavE occurs in
the last line of the hymns, preceded by an address in the form of Narravaa[1], Nattavaa[2],
Naavalaa [3], Vallavaa[4], Nancanikanta[5], CEtanE[6], VirumpanE[7], NampanE[8], and
Kaaranaa[9].
3. The majestic gait and munificence of the river Kaaviri are depicted in many hymns.
4. The greatness and natral beauty of Karaiyur and Paandi-kodu-mudi are delineated in almost
all the hymns.
5. The habitual immersing and bathing of the damsels int eh waters of Kaaviri is noted in two
hymns [5, 7].
6. The yoga path of meditation is emphasized int his decad [1, 7].
7. The munificent days of worship alone are counted to be the useful period, while others are
deemed to be spent in vain [1, 2, 3].
8. Taking refuge unto the Lord’s feet finds a paramount place in the devotional life of Arurar [1,
2, 5, 7, etc.].
9. The phrase, panchin mel-adi-paavai [5] recalls pancEr mellati [VII 15.3] and the passage,
“pancin mel-l-atiyaal, occurring in the Thiruvaasakam [VIII 28.6] and Kambaraamaayana
[vide kitkintai kaantam, 7.150].
