சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (040)

ஓதுகின்ற வேதம்எச்சில் உள்ளமந்திரங்கள் எச்சில்

போதங்களானது எச்சில் பூதலங்கள் ஏழும்எச்சில்

மாதிருந்த விந்து எச்சில் மதியும் எச்சில் ஒலியும் எச்சில்

ஏதில்எச்சில் இல்லதில்லை இல்லைஇல்லை இல்லையே

—சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (040)

The vedas recited are spittle* the mantras in it are spittle*

That, that has become food is spittle* all seven worlds of the body¹ are spittle*

The semen that stayed in the womb is spittle*; the moon² is spittle*; the voice is spittle*

In which there isn’t spittle*? None! None! None! There isn’t!

—Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (040)

* Here in this song, Siddhar Sivavakiyar stresses on the point, that there isn’t anything in this world that is pure, or in other words there isn’t anything impure at all. The common sense he advocates here is, either everything is impure, or everything is pure, in such cases, whatever that has been earlier considered as impure is actually pure.

¹ Seven worlds can be attributed to the seven energy centers that makes the human body.

² Here it could be considered as the energy center behind the left eye through which the chandrakalai (the flow of energy by the left nostril) flows—The one associated with water and coldness.

Siddhar Khaka Bhujander Hymn (006)

கேளப்பா கேசரமே அண்ட வுச்சி

கெட்டியாய்க் கண்டவர்க்கே மவுன மாகும்

ஆளப்பா பரப்பிரம யோக மென்றே

அடுக்கையிலே போதமுந்தான் உயரத் தூக்கும்

வாளப்பா கெவுனமணி விந்து நாதம்

வலுத்ததடா கெட்டியாய்த் திரண்டு போகும்

நாளப்பா அண்ட மெல்லாஞ் சத்தி யோடு

நடனமிடுஞ் சிலம்பொலியுங் காண லாமே.

—சித்தர் காகபுஜண்டர் பாடல் (006)

Listen, the divine-self itself is the crown¹

Only for those who see it firmly, it silences

Master it, calling it as parabrahmam yogam²

One over another, as you go, it lifts you up

It is sword, the eternal path of the light³

As it gains strength, it condenses, gathers, and rushes up⁴

If you keep traversing the path with energy

The dancing sound of bracelet can be seen⁵.

—Siddhar Khaka Bhujander Hymn (006)

  

¹ The crown of one’s head.

² The yogam through which the vasi (Vital life force) along with the inner lamp, reaches the divine self, the God, the parabrahmam.

³ The vasi (Vital life force) when it leaves body  through the unseen aperture in the crown of one's head, travels in the pure, dazzling, path of white, brilliant, light. I experienced this state once at temple pond in Thillai Natarajar Temple, at Chidambaram, by the grace of my Guru Siddhar Ayya Pillai.

⁴ As the vasi (Vital life force) leaves the body it gains such a force and rushes up very swiftly, in fact as said in the line 4, it literally lifts your body up.

⁵ Here Siddhar Khaka Bhujander hints that sound of dancing bracelet can be seen, which seems to be contradicting statement as one can only hear sound and see light, but in truth has the most treasured secret of what we call as the dance of Lord Nataraja, being nothing but witness of the grand, supreme vision of the God-self, or the settling of the divine lamp on the vasi (white lotus) over the crown of one’s hand, wherein both sound and light is witnessed at the same time.

Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (039)

வாயிலே குடித்தநீரை எச்சில்என்று சொல்லுறீர்

வாயிலே குதப்புவேத மெனப்படக் கடவதோ

வாயில் எச்சில் போகஎன்று நீர்தனைக் குடிப்பீர்காள்

வாயில்எச்சில் போனவண்ணம் வந்திருந்து சொல்லுமே.

—சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (039)

The water had through the mouth, you call it spittle.

Can the chaw in the mouth be called as Veda?

To free the mouth from the spittle, you drink water.

The spittle in the mouth, the way it got flushed in, will come, and speak for itself¹.

—Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (039)

¹ The things we despise and consider as unholy are part and parcel of our own body, so in truth all that we call as unclean, remains well within the body, the adobe of the God-Self. In a few more songs, Siddhar Sivavakkiyar says that the body contains all excretory items within, so by, the unclean body with its excretory items such as urine, fecal matter, menses, etc. still remains to be an adobe of God—holding well within, the God-self, along with flesh and blood.

Siddhar Khaka Bhujander Hymn (005)

செய்யப்பா வாசிமுனி மகனே கேளு

தீர்க்கமுடன் முன்னுரைத்த ஆயி ரத்தில்

மெய்யப்பா சரக்குநீத் துவகை யெல்லாம்

மேன்மையுடன் கட்டினங்கள் உருக்கி னங்கள்

பொய்யப்பா சொல்லவில்லை ரத்னப் பாக்குப்

புனிதமுடன் சரியாகச் சொல்லிப் போட்டேன்

வையப்பா இந்நூலில் மவுன மெல்லாம்

வகையாகச் சொல்லுகிறேன் பணிந்து கேளே.

—சித்தர் காகபுஜண்டர் பாடல் (005)

Do it! Son of Vasi Muni! Listen!

Firmly! Said in the early 1000 verses

It is true! Many types of medicinal storages1

Precious solidified, molten forms

Am not lying! The stone of Immortality2

Pure! In the right way I had it

Keep all your silence on this book

Will teach you sequentially! Listen with humbleness!

—Siddhar Khaka Bhujander Hymn (005)

¹ Concoctions, water, medicine, etc, that would be needed for deep prolonged samadhis.

² It looks like a full betel nut (Brownish, round, spherical, hard, crusty surface) and it has vital life force in it. You could call it as a stone, or a man-made nut that has vital-life force in it, in fact a living nut. They created life out of nature and used it for their well-being, especially during their deep samadhis. It is said that there are a few more powerful combinations that can transform a normal human being into a light being.

Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (038)

பறைச்சியாவது ஏதடா பணத்தியாவது ஏதடா

இறைச்சிதோல் எலும்பினும் இலக்கமிட்டு இருக்குதோ

பறைச்சிபோகம் வேறதோ பணத்திபோகம் வேறதோ

பறைச்சியும் பணத்தியும் பகுந்து பாரும் உம்முளே

—சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (038)

  

Is there a low caste woman? Is there a high caste woman?

Is it so written on flesh, skin, and bones?

Is the pleasure derived from a physical intercourse with a low caste woman different from that of a high caste woman?

Rationalize and look within for high and low caste¹

—Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (038)

¹ As like the sexual pleasure derived from a high-class woman and a low-class woman is one and the same, the divine secretion within is also one and the same, or could be explained as, 'God within is one and the same'. This Siddhar Sivavakiyar is asking us to look within oneself and realize it.
