Meaning of Thiruppallandu

 
Oh the pure hearted devotees who investigated 
into the meanings of the shrutis (vedas) that rule 
over the words ! Do not get lured into the narrow 
paths of small divines that fade away in short time. 
Hail the Lovely One with the king of bows - the  
golden mEru bow, the Rider of bull, the One 
Who is even beyond the term "long live", hail Him 
of longevity ! 
 
Notes

1. vEdas are full of mantras. mantras are very  
powerful words. They provide great powers when 
they are chanted. That is the reason people take  
very much care not to alter in any way even to the 
small extent the way the veda mantras are chanted. 
So cEn^dhanAr refer to vEdhas full of such mantras  
as "collANDa curuthi". 
2. The devotees who seek the Supreme Truth dwell 
into the deeper meaning of the vedas. Such  
investigation would reveal the Supreme Qualities of 
Lord shiva. Having obtained the hold of the Supreme 
Being, the devotee should not be lured away by the  
momentary glitters that provide short term narrow 
contoured benefits, but should seek the Supreme 
that is in fact the Master of everything/every divine 
(parameshwara). 
3. God is kAlakAla. It is beyond the time. It does 
not have beginning or end. So the author refers to  
the fact that word, "long live" itself ceases to have  
the usual meaning when hailing our Lord. Such Lord 
we hail "long live" (out of our love). 
4. curuthi - vedas (shR^iti); kanakam - gold;  
viDaN^gan - lovely; padham - word/meaning.
