KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

The technique of hitting the cocunut tree to make the cocunuts fall down.

The 141st song in the book "Pulipaani's Jaalam 325".

"உண்ணவே இன்னுமொரு ஜாலங் கேளு
unnavae innumoru jaalang kaelu
இங்குரைப்பேன் விண்ணோரும் வெருண்டு நிக்க
inguraippaen vinnoarum verundu nikka
என்னவே இரங்கழிச்சில் விதை வாங்கி
ennavae irangazhiththal vithai vaangi
அதை குழித்தைலம் வாங்கிக் கொண்டு
athai kuziththailam vaangik kondu
துன்னவே தைலமதை கையிற் தேய்த்து
thunnavae thailamathai kaiyir thaeyththu
துலக்கமாதாம் தென்னைமரம் தன்னை நோக்கி
thulakkamaathaam thennaimaram thannai noakki
கன்னவே மரத்தடியில் கைதால் குத்த
kannavae maraththadiyil kaithaal kuththa
கங்குமற்று காயதுவும் விழுகும் பாரே
kangumatru kaayathuvum vizhugum paarae"

Listen, I will say the jaalam that the world wonders. Take the seed of the 'irangazhichil' and make kuzhith thailam from it and apply it to the hand. On hitting the cocunut tree a cocunut falls down from the tree.

In the next post we shall see the jaalam of falling into fire.

"கருவான விகுர்தரச் சித்துக்கேளு

karuvaana viigurthara siththukkaelu

பேணவே வேம்பின் சமூலம் கொண்டு

paenavae vaembin samoolam kondu

பிரளவே நொறுக்கி அதில் வகை கேளு

piralavae norukki athil vagai kaelu

நாணவே குழித்தைலம் வாங்கு வாங்கு

naanavae kuziththailam vaangu vaangu

நன்மையுள்ள தைலமத்தில் வகை கேளு

nanmaiyulla thailamaththil vagai kaelu

வகையென்ன கற்பூர சுண்ணம் போட்டு

vagaiyenna karpoora sunnam poattu

மத்தித்து ரவிமுகத்தில் வைத்துப் போற்றி

maththiththu ravimugaththil vaiththup poatri

திகையில்லா தைலமதை நாவில் தீத்தி

பகையான பகையெல்லாம் தன்மையாகும்

பக்குவமாய் இகருவை பகரெண்ணாதே

pakkuvamaai ikaruvai pakarennaathae"

Take the kuzhith thailam from the roots of the 100 year old neem tree, add camphor sunnam* and keep it exposed to sunlight. Later apply it to tongue and if we drink anything it will taste sweet. Even poison will taste as elixir. This is called as vigurthara theurgy and do not share it with anyone says Agathiyar.

*sunnam - a kind of medicine

Kuzhi - hole; Thailam - oil like extract from certain flora and fauna used as medicine or perfume

Siththars have made the kuzhith thailam from many herbs for various purposes and has used it. The Siththars have also told the method of preparing that kuzhith thailam and the various purposes for which the kuzhith thailam can be used.

Now we shall see how this kuzhith thailam can be prepared.

On the floor dig a hole with the dimensions of 2" X 2" (the depth also should be 2"). Again dig inside the hole at the center in such a way that could hold a wide mouth porcelain. Then place the porcelain jar in that place.

Take a pot and make 8 or 10 holes in its base.  Now take the herbs that are used to make the kuzhith thailam and grind it and put it into the pot, and close the mouth of the pot. Make the seelai mud and let it dry. Now place the pot on the porcelain jar such that all the holes are into the mouth of the jar. Then fill with dried dung above the pot in a way hole have to be closed (as shown in the diagram below).

This has to be burnt until it turns up into ashes. Due to this heating temperature the herbs that is present with in the pot gets liquified and it will be collected in the porcelain jar through the holes. After it cools down, carefully remove the ashes. Collect the kuzhith thailam in the porcelain jar and use it whenever necessary.

How to prepare the seelai mud mentioned above?

To avoid the gap between the mouth of the pot and the lid (made of clay) used to close it, use a cloth and clay as a mixture and tie it around the mouth, this is called as seelai mud.

Here I have shared only the method of preparing kuzhith thailam and it will be helpful at some situation in your life. We will see about the usages of kuzhith thailam made up of different herbs in some other post.
