KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

On sharing all these informations, that are about to vanish as days passes or hat are forgot by most people, causes a great amount of satisfaction and happiness.  I could not express it in words.

Now-a-days by scanning one can identify whether the baby in the womb is boy or girl, that too even after the baby is grown partially. But in the very olden days when there is no development of science at all, without the aid of the modern equipments the Siththars have told the simple techniques to identify if the baby is boy or girl at the very early stages itself.

"கெற்பதானங்கள் பண்ணக் கிணர்தனிட் சரணங்கணாசி

kerpathaanangal pannak kinarthanit sarananganaasi 

வற்பணப் பிராணவாய்வு வலத்திலே யோடி லாணாஞ்

varpanap piraanavaaivu valaththilae yoadi laananj 

சிற்பன விடத்திலோடிற் சிறந்தது பெண்ணதாகும்

sirpana vidaththiloadir siranthathu pennathaagum 

பிற்கர வுதயமாகிற் பிலமில்லாக் குருடு வூமை

pirkara vuthayamaakir pilamillaak kurudu voomai" 

- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)

At the time the baby was formed taking into consideration the breath that flows in nose, we can identify whether the baby is boy or girl. Agathiyar has told about that technique in the following way.

The oxygen is flowing in the right side of the nose then the baby formed in the womb is girl else if the oxygen is flowing in the left side of the nose then the baby formed in the womb is boy. If there is any problem in the flow of the oxygen then the baby will be born with defeciencies like blindness, deaf, etc,.

Pulipaani Siththar in one of his songs has told the technique of predicting the day the baby would take birth. 

"சித்திரை பத்தாந் தேதியில் தூரம்

siththirai paththaan thaethiyil thooram 

சென்றிடிலது முதற்பத்து வரையில்

senridilathu mutharpaththu varaiyil 

பத்தாகு மதிலேழு சேரில் பதினேழ் தேதியில்

paththaagu mathilaezhu saeril pathinaezh thaethiyil 

பகர்தறி தைமாதம் பதினேழ் தேதியிலே

pagarthari thaimaatham pathinaezh thaethitil 

ஆமாப்பா போகருட கடாட்சத்தாலே

aamaappaa Bogaruda kadaatchaththaalae 

தெளிவாகப் புலிப்பாணி பாடினேனே

thelivaagap Pulipaani paadinaenae"

- புலிப்பாணி (Pulipaani)

If the periods is stopped during the Tamil month of siththirai (appr. Apr 15 - May 15)  from then count ten months i.e., thuy, Tamil month (appr. Jan 15 - Feb 15)  and add seven days to it and hence they baby will take birth on the seventeenth day of the thuy month.

If the periods stops on before fifteenth of the siththiraiai month then count ten months from then.

If the period stops after the fifteenth of the month then count as eleven months from then says Pulipaani Siththar.

During the time of pregnancy, the growth of the baby related details will be shared in the next post.

During the period when there is no development of science, the Siththars have told about the problems and their solutions that women face during the period of pregnancy.

"பிலமாக முதல்மாதங் கெர்ப்பமாகிற்

pilamaaga muthalmaathang kerppamaakir

பெண்வயிறு நொந்திட்டால் மருந்து கேளு

penvayiru nonthittaal marunthu kaelu

சிலைநுதலே சந்தனமு மிலாமிச் சோடு

silainuthalae santhanamu milaamich soadu

சேர்த்து நீ சமன் பாலில் கரைத்துக் கொள்ள

saerththu nee saman paalil karaiththuk kolla

விலகாமல் ஆரோகங்கள் வயிறு நொந்தால்

vilagaamal aaroagangal vayiru naernthaal

வெள்ளோத்திரம் நெய்தல் கிழங்கு மஞ்சிட்டி

During the very first month since they attained pregnancy they may face sever stomach ache. The remedy for that is take the roots of lemon and sandal in equal measures and mix it with milk and drinking cures the stomach ache.

The belief that attaining motherhood will make a complete women is very strong in our society. For every newly married woman, all her relatives are mostly concerned and expected about attaining this motherhood.

If for the same girl there is any problem in attaining motherhood, then the world without any concern about her feelings they will label her as an "infertile woman". It is better to know that this has slightly changed now-a-days.

Now let us see the Siththars view about attaining motherhood and their solutions for problems pertaining to it.

In real life there is no point of infertility at all says Agathiyar. Also he says about the problem in women's body and the consequent results.

"இசைந்ததோர் பெண்மலடு எங்கு மில்லை 

isainthathoar penmaladu engu millai

எதுனால் மலபான சேதி கேளு கேளு

ethunaal mabalaana saethi kaelu kaelu

அசைந்திருக்கும் பேயினால் பூதத் தாலும் 

asainthirukkum paeyinaal poothath thaalum

அடிவயிறு நொந்துவரும் வாய்வி னாலும்

adivayiru nonthuvarum vaaivi naalum

பிசைந்து கெர்ப்பப் பூச்சியினால் கிரகத்தாலும்

pisainthu kerppap poochiyinaal kirakaththaalum

பிணி நோவு மத்தத்தால் வாத சூலையாலுந்

pini noavu maththaththaal vaatha thalaiyaalun

துசங்கட்டிக் கல்வியினால் பூலவா துங்கித்

thusangattik kalviyinaal poolavaa thungith

துலங்காமல் கெர்ப்பமில்லைசொல்லக் கேளே

thulangaamal kerppamillaisollak kaelu"

There is nobody who is infertile in this world. There will be certain obstacles in attaining maternity due to the following reasons i.e., devil, the gastric that causes pain in the stomach, the effects due to the movement of the planets, other diseases, paralysis related diseases. These can be resolved says Siththars and have told their remedies.

Grind the roots of the plant nagakalli, take a measure of it equivalent to the size of fruit of punai tree and add a measure of cow's butter equivalent to an areca-nut and eat it for three days since the day we take headbath after completion of periods and indulge sex for three days then one can attain maternity. In those three days avoid tamarind, salt, smoking and eat food with cow's milk says Agathiyar.

Take neem flowers, bark of moon seed plant, cyprus andcrush them and add 336 ml of ghee and boil it. Eat in the morning and evening for three days since the day of completion of periods and indulge in sex for three days. There is no restriction in terms of food for this method.

Take equal measures of asafoetida, rock salt, bark of tamarind tree and grind them and roll it to the size of a fruit of punai tree  and eat it for three days since the day we take headbath after completion of periods and indulge sex for three days then one can attain maternity. With this the gastric and the insects that causes pain in the stomach will get resolved.There is no restriction in terms of food for this method.

Also they have told the remedies for those who are unable to attain maternity due to the adverse effects of the movements planets but taking into consideration the length of the post I wind up the topic with this. 

In the next post I shall share about the remedies that the Siththars have told for the ladies who have attained maternity.
