KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

‘One can see the god in the smile of poor’ is one of the famous quote of Tolstoy which means, when we help poor people with love and affection, it will definitely fill their heart and their gratitude flows in their face as beautiful smile. In that smile, one can see god. In this aspect, the quote of Leo Tolstoy gives out the truth of love to worldly people.

All religion believes in one thing; “love is god”. Even our Thirukural has its one separate topic named “anbudaimai” which depicts the importance of love. It is the gratefulness and pride of our ancestors, who were the first, told the importance of love to world.

Thirumoolar says the significance of love as follows:

“அன்பு சிவம் இரண்டென்பர் அறிவிலார்

anbu sivam irandenpar arivilaar

அன்பே சிவமாவதொரு மறிகிலார்

anpae sivamaavathoru marikilaar.”

- திருமந்திரம் ( Thirumanthiram)

According to Thirumoolar, those who differentiate the love and god are brainless people; love and the blissful state of god are inseparable and he firmly says love is god.

Many people believe that, one can get the gracious blessing of god by tormenting the physical body and through long term meditation by ignoring the thirst and hunger. However Thirumoolar disagrees with the above practices and put forth the easy way of acquiring god’s affection in his poem as follows:

என்பே விறகா இறைச்சி யறுத்திட்டு

enbae virakaa iraichchi yaruththittup

பொன்போல் கனலில் பொரிய வறுப்பினும்

ponpoal kanalil poriya varuppinum

அன்போடு உருகி அகம் குழைவார்க் கன்றி

anboadu uruki akam kuzhaivaark kanri

என்போல் மணியினை எய்த ஒண்ணாதே

enpoal maniyinai eitha onnaathae.

திருமந்திரம் (Thirumanthiram)

One cannot reach the god by tormenting the physical body. However, one can easily reach the blissful state through the unconditional love.

Further, Thirumoolar noted the type of people on whom god shows his graciousness and love which can be inferred from following poem quote as follows:

“கொழுந்து அன்பு செய்து கூரவல்லார்க்கு

kozhunthu anbu seithu kooravallaarkku

மகிழ்ந்து அன்பு செய்யும் அருள் சாது ஆகுமே

makizhnthu anbu seyyum arul saathu aakumae”

- திருமந்திரம் ( Thirumanthiram)

Thirumoolar says that, people who show their care and affection to all type and form of living organism can get the love of god. Showing your care and love on another life is the easy way of getting god’s grace and blessings. 

Nowadays, whole world rejoice the quote of Tolstoy. However, our ancestors told this truth several decades ago, even before Tolstoy. But the fact is how many of us remind their words or walk along the path of their words!?  I will leave this part to reader’s decision itself.

Let us see another new topic in the upcoming post.

So far, we have seen the basics and fundamentals of nature of panchabootham in previous posts. In this series, let us see one advanced form of scientifically transformation of one lower category metal to higher category metal. However, I already shared few of the similar transformation in some posts of this blog which can be refreshed via this link, golden magic.

Agathiyar in his book “Agathiyar Paripooranam”, gives out the alchemical transformation procedure of brass to gold. Let us see the concerned poem below:

பதிவாக இன்னமொரு கருமானக்கேள்

pathivaaka innamoru karumaanakkael

பதிவான பிருதிவியை பழச்சாற்றாலே

pathivaana piruththiviyai pazhachchaatraalae

கெதியாய் தானரைத்து மைந்தாகேளு

kethiyaai thaanaraiththu mainthaakaelu

கெணிதமுடன் துருசுவெடி சாரங்கூட்டி

kenithamudan thurusuvedi saarangkootti

மதியான சருகுடனே பூரஞ்சேர்த்து

mathiyaana sarukudanae pooranjaerththu

மைந்தனே பழச்சாற்றா லரைத்துருட்டி

mainthanae pazhachchaatraa laraiththurutti

விதியான பித்தளையை தகடுசெய்து

vithiyaana piththalaiyai thakaduseithu

விரும்பியந்த மருந்ததிலே சேர்த்துமூடே

virumpiyantha marunthathilae saerththumoodae.

சேர்த்துநன்றாய் மூடியபின் மைந்தாகேளு

saerththunanraai moodiyapin mainthaakaelu

சிவசிவா நிதானமுடன் புடத்தைப்போடு

sivasivaa nithaanamudan pudaththaipoadu

பார்த்திபனே புடமாறி யெடுத்துப்பார்த்தால்

paarthipanae pudamaari yeduththuppaarththaal

பத்தியுள்ள பித்தளைதான் செம்பாய்ப்போச்சு

paththiyulla piththalaithaan sempaaiyppoachu

போற்றியந்தச் செம்பதனைப் பதனம்பண்ணி

poatriyanthach sempathanaip pathanampanni

புண்ணியனே வெள்ளிதனில் நாலுக்கொன்று

punniyanae vellithanil naalukkonru

வாத்திமிக்க தாங்கொடு உருக்கிப்பார்க்க

vaaththimikka thaangkodu urukkippaarkka

மயங்காத மகத்தானே பொன்தான்பாரே

mayangkaatha makaththaana ponthaanpaarae.

First take one element which is among the principal element of soil/land and combine this with the fruit juice. Now, add equal amount of copper sulphate, vedisaaram and calomel to the above mixture and grind it well using the required amount of same fruit juice and make small rounded balls.

Now, take the brass sheet and enclose the sheet with the above said round balls. Now it should undergo pudam process (process of burning this enclosed plate in cow dung) and let it cool. Now we can see that, the brass sheet gets transformed into copper sheet. Melt the copper sheet and add the silver to copper in ratio of 1:4 which ultimately results in transformation of copper to gold.

Simplest way!! Isn’t?? However, here some crucial information is hidden like, no explicit information of soil element and type of pudam etc; one can get this missed information from 637th poem of 9th kaandam in another book “Agathiyar 12000”.

This transformation procedure and place of hidden related information revealed here is merely a part of information sharing.  However, much likely information is hidden all over the books. Those who are interested can perform research in this regard.

Highly astonishing!! Isn’t it?

From the previous post we inferred from Siththars thoughts that, earth and all its elemental beings are composition of five basic elements viz, fire, water, air, space and land and altering the composition of one element results in the formation of newer which can be done on one’s own desire. We also have seen that, Agathiyar notes on principal compounds of five basic elements in previous post.

In this series, let us see some more information in this regard.

Agathiyar enlighten us not only with principal compounds but also with the colour of those principal compounds of five basic elements.

ஆமென்ற பஞ்சபூதக் குறிப்பை சொன்னோம்

aamenra panchpoothak kurippai sonnoam

அறையுறோ மதினுடைய நிறந்தான்கேளு

araiyuroa mathinudaiya niranthaankaelu

போமென்ற பிரிதிவியின்றன நிறந்தான்கேளு

poamenra pirithiviyinrana niranthaankaelu

பொன்னிறம்போல் தானிருக்கும் தங்கவர்ணம்

ponnirampoal thaanirukkum thangavarnam

பாமென்ற வப்பினிட நிறந்தான்கேளு

paamenra vappidinida niranthaankaelu

பளிங்குநிறம் போலிருக்கும் பஞ்சவர்ணம்

palinguniram poalirukkum panchavarnam

மானென்ற வக்கினியின் நிறந்தானப்பா

maanaenra vakkiniyin niranthaanappaa

மகத்தான சென்புநிற வர்ணங்காணே

makaththaana senpunira varnangaanae

காணப்பா வாயுவதின் நிறந்தான்கேளு

kaanappaa vaayuvathin niranthaankaelu

காளகண்டமாக ரசப்புகை மேகந்தானே

kaalakandamaaka rasappukai maekanthaanae.

Agathiyar says that the principal compounds depicting soil/land is in golden colour; water is in panchavarna* colour; fire is in copper colour; air is in colour of mist of mercury vapour and finally for space, colour of principal compound cannot be defined.

Let us see the effect of combining one principal element to another principal element as told by agathiyar.

பாரப்பா பிருதிவிதா னப்பைக்கொல்லும்

paarappa piruthivithaa nappaikkollum

பாங்கான அப்பதுதான் தேய்வைக்கொல்லும்

paangaana appathuthaan thaeivaikkollum

நேரப்பா தேய்வுந்தான் வாய்வைக்கொல்லும்

naerappaa thaeivunthaan vaaivaikkkollum

நிலையான வாய்வதுதா னாகசத்தில்

nilaiyaana vaaivathuthaa naakasaththtil

வீரப்பா கொண்டதிலே மடிந்துபோச்சு

veerappaa kondathilae madinthupoachu

வேதாந்த பஞ்சகர்த்தாள் கூத்திதாச்சு

vaethaantha panchakarththaal kooththithaachu

சாரப்பா தன்னறிவாற் சார்ந்துகொண்டு

saarappaa thannarivaar saarnthukondu

சகலகரு வேதைமுகஞ் சார்ந்துபாரே

sakalakaru vaethaimukanj saarnthupaarae.

On combining the principal element of soil to principal element of water, soil element becomes ineffective. Similarly, on combining element of fire to element of air, the air element becomes ineffective. On combining element of air to special element, special element rendered inactive.

Agathiyar also says that, all these information are just a basic and on acquiring in depth knowledge in this series, one can get into the next level of medicinal preparation and alchemy. This post is aimed to bring out our ancestors immense and in-depth knowledge on science to today’s generation.

All these information in this series are collected from the book “Agathiyar Paripooranam”. Any interested readers can do further research in this regard.

We are about to see the practicality information on converting brass into gold in upcoming post.
