Verse 2
கணபதியே
அடியாகி அகிலமாகி
காரணத்தின் குருவாகி காட்சியாகி
குணபதியே
கொங்கை மின்னாள் வெள்ளை ஞான
குருநிலையாய் அருள் விளங்கும் கொம்பே ஞான
கனவிலேயும்
நினைவிலேயும் வெளியாய் நின்ற
காரணத்தின் வடிவாகி கருத்துள் ஆகி
பண
அரவம் பூண்ட சிவன் வாசி நேர்மை
பாடுகிறேன் காவியத்துள் பாராய் தந்தை (2)
Translation:
Ganapathi,
verily becoming the base, the universe
The
preceptor of the cause, that which is seen,
The
Lord with auspicious qualities, the lady, the lightning with breasts,
As
the white state of wisdom of the guru, the branch, the embodiment of grace
The
form of the cause who remains as the supreme space
In
dreams and in thoughts, coming into one’s thought
The
nature of vāsi (breath control) of Siva, the one who adorns the snake
with the hood,
I
am singing as a kavya, my father please bless it with your vision.
Commentary:
This
verse is addressed specifically to Lord Ganapathy. Ganapathy is the Lord of the muladhara
cakra, the base. The kundalini sakti
that resides in this cakra expands into the visible universe and the guru. Agatthiyar calls sakti as the lady with breasts. The breast is traditionally mentioned to
indicate that sakti is full of jnana, ready to offer for her children, the
Jiva. This knowledge is white like the milk as it is sattvic in nature. It is also mentioned to indicate benefits in this world and the next- iga para sukham. It is also mentioned to indicate that it can either drown you in worldly pleasure or take you to supreme state.
Sakti is like the lightning, a flash which appears for a split second with all its magnificence. Supreme consciousness occurs for a split second and overwhelms the aspirant like the brilliance of the lightning. Agatthiyar says that the wisdom of the guru is white- it is sattvic knowledge free from rajas or tamas. ‘kombu’ refers to both a branch and the tusk of the elephant. Agatthiyar calls Lord Ganapathy as the “kombu" of grace. Kombu generally refers to the sushumna nadi. Ganapathy helps a person open his sushumna nadi and reach the state of supreme consciousness.
The form of the Lord is supreme space or vetta veli. This state remains in all states of consciousness. Agatthiyar refers to this by saying that this supreme space remains in both the dream state as well as in the thoughts, that is, in the wakeful state. He then mentions his intent that he wishes to describe vāsi, the kundalini yoga with breath control, the technique which leads one to the state of sivam or supreme consciousness. Thus, we understand that this work, meijnana was composed when Agatthiyar remained in state of supreme consciousness.
The snake with his hood indicates the prana or the vital breath. Vasi yogam is regulation of the prana. The five headed snake with its hood spread over lord Vishnu also indicates this concept, that the state of supreme consciousness can be found on the lap of the pancha prana or five vital breaths.
