The Periya Puranam (Tamil: பெரிய‌ புராண‌ம்), that is, the great purana or epic, sometimes called Tiruttontarpuranam ('Tiru-Thondar-Puranam', the Purana of the Holy Devotees), is a Tamil poetic account depicting the lives of the sixty-three Nayanars, the canonical poets of Tamil Shaivism. It was compiled during the 12th century by Sekkizhar. It provides evidence of trade with West Asia^[1] The Periya Puranam is part of the corpus of Shaiva canonical works.

Sekkizhar compiled and wrote the Periya Puranam or the Great Purana in Tamil about the life stories of the sixty-three ShaivaNayanars, poets of the God Shiva who composed the liturgical poems of the Tirumurai, and was later himself canonised and the work became part of the sacred canon.^[2] Among all the hagiographic Puranas in Tamil, Sekkizhar's Tiruttondar Puranam or Periyapuranam, composed during the rule of Kulottunga Chola II (1133-1150) stands first.^[3]

Background[edit]

Sekkizhar was a poet and the chief minister in the court of the Chola King, Kulothunga Chola II. Kulottunga Chola II, king Anabaya Chola, was a staunch devotee of Lord Siva Natraja at Chidambaram. He continued the reconstruction of the center of Tamil Saivism that was begun by his ancestors. However Kulottunga II was also enchanted by the Jain courtly epic, Chivaka Chinthamani an epic of erotic flavour (sringara rasa) whose hero, Chivaka, combines heroics and erotics to marry eight damsels and gain a kingdom. In the end he realises the transiency of possessions, renounces his kingship and finally attains Nirvana by prolonged austerity (tapas).^{[4][full citation needed]}

In order to wean Kulottunga Chola II from the heretical Chivaka Chintamani, Sekkizhar undertook the task of writing the Periyapuranam.^{[2][full citation needed]}

Periyapuranam[edit]

The study of Chivaka Chintamani by Kulottunga Chola II, deeply affected Sekkizhar who was very religious in nature. He exhorted the king to abandon the pursuit of impious erotic literature and turn instead to the life of the Saiva saints celebrated by Sundaramurti Nayanar and Nambiyandar Nambi. The king thereupon invited Sekkizhar to expound the lives of the Saiva saints in a great poem. As a minister of the state Sekkizhar had access to the lives of the saints and after he collected the data, he wrote the poem in the Thousand Pillared Hall of the Chidambaram temple.^[5] Legend has it that the Lord himself provided Sekkizhar with the first feet of the first verse as a divine voice from the sky declaring 'உலகெலாம்' (ulakelam: All the world).^{[citation needed]}

This work is considered the most important initiative of Kulottunga Chola II's reign. Although, it is only a literary embellishment of earlier hagiographies of the Saiva saints composed by Sundarar and Nambiyandar Nambi, it came to be seen as the epitome of high standards of the Chola culture, because of the highest order of the literary style.^{[5][full citation needed]} The Periyapuranam is considered as a fifth Veda in Tamil and immediately took its place as the twelfth and the last book in the Saiva canon. It is considered as one of the masterpieces of the Tamil literature and worthily commemorates the Golden age of the Cholas.^{[3][full citation needed]}

Significance[edit]

All the saints mentioned in this epic poem are historical persons and not mythical. Therefore, this is a recorded history of the 63 Saiva saints called as Nayanmars (devotees of Lord Siva), who attain salvation by their unflinching devotion to Siva. The Nayanmars that he talks about belonged to different castes, different occupations and lived in different times.^{[3][full citation needed]}

Shiva Puranam
By
Saint Manikka vasagar
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Manikka Vasagar was one of the four great Nayanmars (saivite saints ) of Tamil Nadu , who was a great poet as well as great contributor to the SAivite philosophy. His collection of works is called Thiruvachakam. Due to the sweetness and greatness of this work, there is a proverb in Tamil which says, “Thiruvasagathukku urugaar , yebbasagathukkum Urugaar”( One who does not melt for Thiruvasagam will not melt for any literary work). The first prayer in THiruvasagam is the Shiva Puranam . It was composed in a Shiva temple called Thiruperum thurai
Unlike suggested by the name it is not the epic dealing with the stories of Shiva . In tamil Jeeva (the individual soul is called “ Cheevaa” . According to the philosophy of Saivism , the jeeva is prevented from the realization of God by three impurities (Anava(pride) , Karma, and Maya) and only approach to Shiva can remove these impurities. This Shiva puranam attempts to portray the jeeva towards Shiva and is aptly called “Shiva Puranam” , The famous English translation of Shiva Puranam by Mr.G.U.Pope (fondly called Popeiyer) is available in G.U.Pope’s translation http://www.shaivam.org/siddhanta/thivapop.htm.
There is also a great commentary in Tamil Which includes the Tamil text of this work in

Namasivaya vaazhga , Nadan thal vazzhga ,
Imai podum yennenjil neengaadhan thal vazhga.
Kokazhi aanda guru mani than thaal vaazhga,
Agamam aagi nindru annippan vaazhga,
Yekan anegan iraivan adi Vaazhga(1-5)
Long live Namasivaya, Long live the holy feet of our Lord,
Long live the feet of him who does not move away from my mind even for a second.
Long live the feet of my Guru who ruled over Thiruvavaduthurai(Thiruperum thurai ?)*,
Long live the feet of him who became holy books and comes near us,
Long live the feet of the God who was one but appeared as many.
*Shiva temple in Tamil Nadu .
Vegam keduthu aanda vendan adi velga,
Pirapparukkump injakan than pey kazhalgal velga,
Puratharkkum cheyon than poomkazhalgal velga,
Karam kuvivaar ul magizhum kon kazhalgal velga,
Siram kuvivaar onguvikkum cheeron kazhal velga.(6-10)
Let the feet of the God who stabilized my mind be victorious,
Let the valorous anklets of Lord Shiva , who cuts off cycle of birth be victorious
Let the flower like anklets of the God, who is scarce to those who stand away from him be victorious,
Let the anklets of king who happily lives in the mind of those who salute him be victorious,
Let the anklets of that great one who uplifts those who bend their head to him be victorious.
Eesan adi pothi, Yenthai adi pothi,
Nesanadi pothi, Sivan Sevadi pothi,
Neyathey nindra nimalan adi pothi ,
Maya pirappu arukkum mannan adi pothi ,
Cheeraar perum thurai nama devan adi pothi(11-15)
Praise to the feet of God, Praise to the feet of my father,
Praise to the feet of my friend, praise to the red feet of shiva,
Praise to the feet of the pure god who stood in love ,
Praise to the feet of the king who cuts off the illusion called birth,
Praise to the feet of god who is in holy Thiruperumthurai .
Aaratha inbam arulum malai pothi ,
Sivan avan yen sinthayul ninra athanaal ,
Avan arulaale avan thal vanagi ,
Chinthai magizha Siva puranam thanai,
Munthai vinai muzhuthum oya uraippan naan.(16-20)
Praise to the God who gives the never fading joy like a mountain of mercy,
Because that Lord Shiva stood in my thought ,
I would salute his feet by his grace ,
And with a joyful mind recite the Shiva Purana,
So that the entire Karma which I have earned earlier disappears.
Kan nuthalaan than karunai kan kaatta vandeythi,
Yennutharkettaa vezhilaar kazhal irainji ,
Vin nirainthum , man niranthum m ikkai vilakku oiliyaai ,
Yenn iranthu yellai illathaane nin perum cheer ,
Pollaa vinayen pugazhum maru ondru ariyen.(21-25)
I came because the god with an eye in his forehead showed me his eye of mercy,
And stood there saluting the anklet , whose prettiness is beyond the reach of the mind ,
And oh God who filled the sky and the earth , and who is being seen as a glittering light ,
Oh God who is beyond all limitations of barrier , I who am one with a bad karma ,
And do not know the ways to praise your great qualities

Oh lord by becoming grass, small plants , worms , trees ,
Several types of animals , birds , snakes ,
Stone , human beings , ghosts , different types of devils,
Strong asuras , sages devas ,
And I traveled all over this spectrum of moving and not moving things ,
And took all types of births and became tired.

Uyya yen ullathul ongaramai nindra ,

Iyya yena vongi aazhndu agandra nunniyane (32-35)
Truly I have attained salvation seeing your golden feet,
Oh God, who stood as letter “Om”, in my mind so that I would be saved,
Oh truth, oh purity , Oh Lord who rides on a bull,
Oh God whom Vedas called “Oh Lord”, with great surprise ,
And tried to see you as taller, higher deeper though you are smaller than the small.
Veyyayai, thaniyaai , iyamaananaam vimalaa,
Poi aayin yellam poi akala vandharuli ,
Mei jnanam aagi milirgindra mei chudare ,
Yejjanam illathen inba perumale ,
Agjnan thannai agalvikkum nal arrive. (36-40)
Oh divinely pure Lord who is heat , cold as well as life ,
You came and showered your grace so that all lies are banished,

Oh great wisdom, who is removing my ignorance .

Oh god who does not have birth , life or death ,
You are the one who makes all the world,
You would protect , destroy and also shower your grace ,

Oh Lord of Vedas , who is beyond mind and thought .

Puram thol porthu , yengum puzhu azhukku moodi,
Malam chorum onpathu vayil kudilai,
Malanga pulangal iynthum vanchanayai cheyya(46-55)
Oh my lord , who puts a stop to cycle of births ,
By standing in the minds of great devotees,
Like honey which is the mixture of newly milked milk ,
Honey and Ghee , you are the one having all the five colours,
And you were hiding from the view of devas ,
Who were not able to see you and praise you , oh lord.
Please tie me , who is caught in the horrible past Kama,
And is being hidden completely by darkness of illusion
by considerations of all the acts ,
That can be done and should not be done ,
And tie me with a rope of sins and good acts
And further cover the dirt and worms of my inside by a skin,
And construct me as a hut with nine holes,
Through which all that is not wanted goes out,
With the five senses deceiving me and put me in to a stupor ,

Oh God , who is pure, though I am With an unstable (animal like ) mind, ,
Which does not merge with you due to extreme love ,
Which does not melt on hearing you
And which does not have any good in it ,
You have taken mercy on this lowly one,
And came on this earth and showed me your long feet
And showed much more mercy than a mother ,
To me who was lying even worse than a dog.
Masatha jyothi malarntha malar chudare ,

Which appears like a rising light ,
Oh sparkling one , oh nectar like honey ,

Oh great river of mercy , which never leaves my mind.

And their understanding you is a rare feeling.

Oh clarity , who comes in different forms of this changing world,
Oh complete understanding due to that clarity ,
Oh nectar of feeling which flows in my thoughts ,

Oh Lord , Oh Shiva , Like this they praised ,
And left this untrue body and got the true body(Lord Shiva)

Thillai ul koothane , then pandi naattane.(87-90)
Oh God who is capable of destroying this body,
Which is the place where the deceiving five senses reside ,
And which has been prevented from coming again .
Oh Lord who dances even in mid night when all world sleeps ,
Oh Lord who dances in Chidambaram who is from the southern Pandya kingdom.
Allal piravi aruppavane oh endru,
Chollarkku ariyanai cholli thiruvadi keezh ,
Cholliya paatin chol unarnthu cholluvaar ,
Chelvaa shiva purathin ullar , Sivan adi keezh ,
Pallorum yetha panithu .
Oh lord who cuts of this painful life of birth,
Those who called you God , who cannot be understood , as “ oh god”
And understand this song which was sung below your feet ,
Would go to the wealthy land of Shiva’s city ,
And would remain below the feet of Lord Shiva ,
Being prayed and worshipped by many.
