Mukthi - salvation/final emancipation
The journey of human life which begins from the moment we take birth continues till our last breath. In this journey, the path that we choose decides our consequences and its effects. Paambaatti Siththar narrates how to choose that path in the following way.
"தசநாடி தசவாயு சத்த தாது
thasanaadi thasavaayu saththa thaathu
சார்ந்த மரக்கப்பல் அதுதத்தி வீழுமே
saarntha marakkappal athuthaththi veezhumae
இசைவான கப்பலினை ஏக வெள்ளத்தில்
isaivaana kappalinai aega vellaththil
என்னாளும் ஓட்டத் துணிந்து ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
ennaalum oattath thuninthu aadaai paambae!"
- பாம்பாட்டிச் சித்தர் (Paambaatti Siththar)
If the waves increase, then the ship in the ocean loses its control and sinks into the ocean. But the ship which travels in an ocean without much of waves will reach to the destination safely.
Likewise if this body which is made out of ten tubular vessels (dasanaadi), ten vital airs (dasavaayu), seven types of constituent elements (saththa thaathu) are not placed towards the Supreme Being then it will fall on the ground like a ship drowned in the ocean.
Like the ship travelling in a waveless ocean, if the body and soul are placed towards the supreme being then the bitrthless beatification state can be attained says Paambaatti Siththar.
Ten tubular vessels (Dhasanaadi) -
Idakalai, Pingalai, Suzhimunai, Pooda, Gaandhaari, Aththisinguvai, Alampudai, Sangini, Guru, Kanni are ten tubular vessels.
Ten vital airs of the body (Dhasavaayu) -
Abaanan, Pranan, Samaanan, Udhaanan, Viyaanan, Naagan, Koorman, Giridharan, Devathaththan, Dhanunjayan are ten types of vital airs.
Seven constituent elements of the body (Saththa Thaathu) -
Rasam, blood, bone, skin, muscle, brain and sperm are seven constituent elements of the human body.
