Piththaa pirai soodee perumaanee arulaalaa

Eththal maravaadhee ninaikkindreen manathunnai


Vaiththaai pennai thenpaal vennai nalloor aruththurayul
Aththa vunakku aalaai inee alleen enal aamee

Translation:
Oh mad! Oh Peruman with a crescent, Oh Graceful one, I am thinking about you without forgetting. Oh God of Thiru
vennai nalloor in the southern bank of the river Pennai, how can I say I am not your slave?
Sundharar did not want to put his leg in the holy town of thiruvadhikai where Thirunaavukkarasar was born. So he
stayed in the outskirts - sidhdhavada madam. In the night when he was sleeping, the God appeared as an old man
and put His legs many times on Sundharar 's head. Sundharar shouted at Him. He disappeared from there. Realizing
that the old man was God Himself, Sundharar sang this song.

Sundharar once when in Thiruvaaroor was praying to God to bless him to sing the glory of his devotees. God asked
him start with His statement as "Thillai vaazh andhanar tham adiyarkkum adiyeen". In this hymn Sundharar sang
about 63 devotees of the Lord. This particular song is called "Thiruth thondaththogai".

Kundaiyuur kizaar used to give rice to Sundharar 's house. At one point there was a famine. Kizaar prayed to Lord.
Lord made a rice rain to fall and a big heap of rice was formed. People were astonished how that can be mobilised to
Sundharar 's house in Thiruvaaruur. Sundharar sang this song and short buudhaas came and took it to Sundharar 's
house in Thiruvaaruur. Paravaiyaar (Sundharar 's wife) distributed them to all.

Sundharar was on his way to Thirumudhukunram (Virudhdhaachalam). Then the God appeared in the form a old man.
Sundharar asked Him what is the way to go to Thirumudhukunram. God told that this is the path to kuudalaiyaatroor
and disappeared. With this pleasent shock Sundharar sang this song.

When Sundharar was coming near Thirukkurugaavuur, he was quite tired and hungry. Then God made a small shelter
and waited there as an old man. There Sundharar and other devotees took rest and had food. After that God
disappeared with the shelter. Amused, Sundharar sang this hymn.

gave him and disappeared. With tears of thanksgiving and love he sang this.

Sundharar married Sangili naachiyaar with the promise in God's presence that he wont leave her. But since he was in
heavy love with the Lord of Thiruvaaruur, he wanted to go there. As he left Sangili naachiyaaar, violating the promise,
he lost the sight of both the eyes. He prayed to God of thiruvenpakkam. God gave him a stick to hold and walk.
