The treasure taken out from the “Padmanaba swami temple” of Trivandrum, Kerala has gained the attention of over all people from the World. However, similar information is available in Siththar’s poems too, which I palnned to share from today.
But...
Thiru. Vaanavan yogi putforth his adimration as well as criticization on the original Tamil post concerning Pancha Paashaana Lingam. Although, I answered him in that comment column itself, I thought it is necessary to give clarification in this regard with respect to his certain criticized comments.
He stated that, “only the ignorant fellows will tell that, Nava Baashaanam is combination of nine paashaanam” in the comment column.
Despite of the pandits knowledge of Nava Paashaanam, let us see the enlightening view of Siththars, who born among the normal people and attained this eternal state. All the information shared here are collected from following books; Bogar Nikandu, Bogar Vaithiya Kaaviyam, Bogar 7000 and Pulipaani Poojavithi 116.
In the following poem, Bogar stated the reason of Nava Paashaanam making to his student Pulipaani Siththar;
மண்ணான தேகமது இருந்துமென்ன
mannaana thaekamathu irunthumenna
மகிதலத்தில் நெடுங்காலம் வாழ்ந்துமென்ன
makithalaththil nedungaalam vaaznthumenna
வண்ணமுடன் கலியுகத்தில் அனியாயங்கள்
vannamudan kaliyukaththil aniyaayangal
வாகுடனே சதாகாலம் நடக்கும்பாரு
vaakudanae sathaakaalam nadakkumpaaru
நடக்கவே கலியுகத்தார் பிழைக்கவேண்டி
nadakkavae kaliyukaththaar pizaikkavaendi
நாமான மனோன்மணியாள் கிருபையாலே
naamaana manoanmaniyaal kirupaiyaalae
உள்ளபடி பாடாணம் ஒன்பதும்தான்
ullapadi paadaanam onpathumthaan
உருக்கிச் சாய்த்தேன் சிலையாய்தானே
urukkich saaiththaen silaiyaaiththaanae.
- போகர் (Bogar)
As, most of the happenings are going to be impious in this Kali yugam, and it is no use for human body to live long in the Earth. Bogar prepared statue made up of nine baashaanam with the blessing from goddess Manoanmani, for the survival of people. Here, the specified nine paashaanam referring to what? I left it to reader’s view.
Let us see the another poem of Pulipaani Siththar:
பாரப்பா மலையதுவின் உச்சியிலே
paarappaa malaiyathuvin uchchiyilae
பாங்கான போகருட சமாதியருகே
paangaana Bogaruda samaathiyarukae
கட்டான பாடாணவகை எட்டுடனொன்று
kattaana paadaanavakai ettudanonru
காணவே சேர்த்துவார்த்த சிலைதானும்
kaanavae saerththuvaartha silaithaaanum
நண்ணவே பிரதிட்டைதான் செய்து
nannavae pirathittaithaan seithu
நவிலுவேன் பூசைசோ டசமுஞ்செய்ய
naviluvaen poosaisoae dasamunjeyya
ஆற்றினேன் பூசைவிதிகள் தானும்
aatrinaen poosaivithikal thaanum
ஆரப்பா அறிவார்க ளாருமில்லை.
aarappaa arivaarka laarumillai.
- புலிப்பாணிச் சித்தர் ( Pulippaani Siththar)
Pulipaani says that the statue made up combination of eight paashanam and one other form is positioned nearby the Bogar samadhi on the tip of hill. And he continues that no one is capable of performing pooja for that statue and henceforth Pulipaani sithar sharing information regarding the pooja procedure and rules to perform it. Here, the specified nine paashaanam refers to what? I left it to reader’s view.
Let us see the another poem given by Bogar;
"பாங்கான பாடாணம் ஒன்பதினும்
paangaana paadaanam onpathinum
பரிவான விபரம்தான் சொல்லக் கேளு
parivaana viparamthaan sollak kaelu
கௌரி கெந்திச்சீலைமால் தேவி
gowri kenthicheelaimaal devi
கொடு வீரம்கச்சால் வெள்ளை
kodu veeramkachhaal vellai
பகர்கின்ற தொட்டினொடு சூதம்சங்கு
pakarkinra thottinodu soothamsangu
பூரணமாய் நிறைந்த சிவசக்தி
pooranamaai niraintha sivasakthi
நலமான மனோம்மணி கடாட்சதாலே
nalamaana manoanmani kadaatchaththaalae
நண்ணிநீ ஒன்பதையும் கட்டுகட்டு
nanninee onpathaiyum kattukattu”
- போகர் (Bogar)
Bogar listed the nine paashaanam as gowri paashaanam, kenthakap paashaanam, seelaip paashaanam, veerap paashaanam, kachaalap paashaanam, vellaip paashaanm, thottip paashaanam, soothap paashaanam, sangup paashaanam and one should bundle up the combination of above nine with the blessings and permission from the Siva Sakthi and goddess Manoanmani. How to call the above nine combiantion? I left it to your choice.
Still I can show some poems as example. However, this post is just the outcome of the commented statement “ignorant people” and nothing beyond that. Kindly do not misunderstand the post.
Further, I would like to thank Thiru. Vaanavan yogi for making this chance to verify about paashanams and I dedicate this post to him.
