Over decades, it is believed by people that, Siththars can change take any form of appearance at any second of time on their desire. However, we have no evidence to support or deny this belief. Basically, Siththars like to be autonomous which we can infer from their poems. They would like to live away from people community, in order to avoid the incoming hindrances which might affect their life path. They even like to be away from the people community who are not in their wavelength.
Even though they live independently in forests and mountains, it is highly unavoidable without hindrance and dangers from locality and surroundings. In order to face those dangerous situations, Siththars had performed numerous mystics. Even nowadays too, they were doing certain kind of these mystics to protect themselves from tribal people, hunters, animals, birds and snake like crawling beings.
In that series, today we are going to see about one of the SIththar’s mystic trick from the following poem.
What is that trick?
Changing the appearance for the sake of not attracting anyone’s attention is that magic.
How to perform that?
Agathiyar in his book “Agathiyar 12000” explained this as follows:
வந்தவகை சொல்லுமுன்னே அறிந்துகொண்டு
vanthavakai sollumunnae arinthukondu
மனமகிழ்ந்து சொல்லுகிறேன் வகையாய்க்கேளு
manamagiznthu sollukiraen vakaiyaaikkaelu
சொந்தமுடன் சகலசித்துந் தானேதானாய்
sonthamudan sakalasiththun thaanaethaanaai
துலங்குதற்கு அந்தமடா மந்திரமூலம்
thulangkuthar anthamadaa manthiramoolam
அந்தமுள்ள மூலமடா சிறீங்அம்மென்று
anthamulla moolamadaa sireengammenru
அசைவற்று மவுனமதா யருட்கண்மேவி
asaivatru mavunamathaa yarutkanmaevi
பந்தமுடன் கம்பமதாய் நின்றாயானால்
panthamudan kampamathaai nindraayaanaal
பலனான தவப்பலத்தைப் பகுந்துகேளே
palanaana thavappalaththaip pakunthukaelae.
கேளப்பா தவபலத்தைச் சொல்லக்கேளு
kaelappaa thavapalaththaich sollakkaelu
கிருபையுடன் சிவயோகத் திருக்கும்போது
kirupaiyudan sivayogath thirukkumpoathu
சூளப்பா மனிதர்கண்டால் மனிதர்போலாம்
soolappaa manitharkandaal manitharpoalaam
சுகமான பெண்கள்கண்டால் பெண்கள்போலாம்
sukamaana penkalkandaal penkalpoalaam
மேலப்பா யோகிகண்டால் யோகிபோலாம்
maelappaa yokikandaal yokipoalaam
விசையான மிருகங்கள் கண்டுதானால்
visaiyaana mirukangal kanduthaanaal
காலப்பா அந்தந்த வகைபோற்தோணும்
kaalappaa anthantha vakaipoarthoanum
கருணையுடன் தவசிருந்த கருத்தைப்பாரே
karunaiyudan thavasiruntha karuththaippaarae.
Before starting austerity or sivayogam, sit on a place and relax the mind and body. Now, focus the mind to oneness and start chanting the mantra “Sireeng am” by fixing the vision on centre of brow for 108 times. One should start austerity or sivayokam only after performing the above said mantra.
Those who done this will look like as follows; looks like ordinary man to common people, appears like a women to women, appears as yogi to yogis , for animals or birds they look like itself. Hence, there will not be any disturbance from the above said beings hence, one can achieve their goal without any external disturbances.
This is one among the infinite Siththar information available from their songs. Any interested readers or researchers can try this for proving the authenticity of information.
