Leaving alone the unseen result of getting rid of all sins, those who see and
worship him attain the experience of ultimate joy. Even if rudra filled with
anger and tamo guna experience a change while hearing the divine names of the
lord by chance what to say about those who directly get his darshan?
(kAmanudal koNda tavaththArkku) Rudra burnt the body of kama deva who induced
the love in rudra towards parvathi (siva's wife). It is natural for anyone to
have a special feeling towards their wife but here rudra spent his hard earned
power through long time penance to burn someone who helped him to develop a
special feeling towards his wife.
(vudal koNda tavaththArkku) Rudra used his power obtained through penance to
kill someone. Even such a hard hearted person changes while hearing the divine
names of the lord.
(vumai vuNarththa) Listening to the greatness of lord, as told by parvathi.
Once parvathi questioned rudra in deep penance, about the lord towards whom
rudra was meditating? She then proceeded to talk the greatness of the supreme
lord by herself just as a matter of fact. Impressed by parvathi's talk, rudra
asked her to continue to say more about the lord's greatness and the divinity
of his names. Rudra even forgot the usual shisyAcharya kramam
(Teacher-Disciple relationship) and got immersed in the speech of parvati.
(vaNdalambum thAralangal neeNmudiyAn tan pEyarE kEttirundhu) The bees' ringer
around the honey filled tulasi garland adorned by the lord wearing the
prodigious crown. While listening and cherishing the greatness of the divine
names of that very lord;
"sudar mudimElum punaindha taNNanthuzhAyudai ammAn" [thiruvai 1-9-7]
(neeNmudiyAn) "AdhirAjyam adhikam buvanAnAmeesa thE bhisunayan kila moulee:"
[Oh! Lord your supremacy is well displayed by your crown to the entire world]
declares kooraththAzhvan.
(angu AralangalAnamai AindhAl kaNdu vaNanginArkku ennAnkol) Bhakthas on just
hearing the thirunama attain the state of deep estacy "kAlAzhum nenjazhiyum
kaNsuzhalum" "vuLLelAmurughi kural tazuththozhindhEn vudambelAm kaNNaneer sOra"
"AhlAdha seethe nEthrAmbu: pulakeekrutha gAthravAn sadhA parakuNAvishta:" If
this is the case of those who hear his divine names then what to say about
those who see him and shedding all their mamakara prostrate him totally?
