Sundara Murthy Nayanar and Thriuvaroor
Although Sundarar was born in THiruNaavalur, he lived in Thiruvaaroor. His favorite lord was veedhi vidangar. he used to converse and connect with lord shiva through 'sakhya bhava' as in friendship. Wherever he used to go he always used to come back to Thiruvaroor and could not bear to be separated too long from his lord. he has sung many songs in praise of lord thiruvaroorar as he used to refer. one of the stanzas:
"ponnum meipporulum tharuvaanai, bhogamum thiruvum punarpaanai
pinnai yen pizhayai poruppaanai, pizhai yellaam thavira panippaanai
Inna thanmayan yenru ariyonnaa emmaanai, yelivantha piraanai
annam vaigum vayal pazhanatthu ani aarooraanai marakkalum aame"
he provides not only wordly riches and enjoyment, but he also bestows enlightenment and liberation. not only does he ensure my life in this world and other world is secure, but while i live here, he also forbears with compassion all my mistakes and accepts me with all flaws. he also takes responsibility for my transformation. my lord's nature and qualities are unfathomable and beyond description; yet, he comes to me in such a simple forthright manner that i can understand. such is the greatness of my lord who is unforgettable, and who lives in the ancient thiruvaroor, which boasts of fertile fields delighted by swan birds.
