Notes: 1. This is the glorious namchchivAya thiruppadhikam sung by thirunyAna sambandhar. 2. On the day of his wedding, sambandhar took along his wife and went into the abode of nallUrp perumaNam, followed by the other devotees like murugar, nIlanakkar, yAzppANar. sambandhar's focus was in unifying in the Supreme and not in leading the married life. sambandhar pleaded to the Lord that the words of His praise he sang, should be upheld to be truth (mulaiththaDam mUzgiya bOgangaLAyavum ...). In front of that flawless devotee appeared a flame ! Emphasizing to this world the message he lived throughout conveying, "Hold tight namaH shivAya, that is the easy was to the supreme state !", sambandhar along with the bride entered the flame followed by many devotees to reach at the Holy Feet of the Supreme. This is the padhikam he sang circumambulating the flame before entering it.
