Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1

🕉️ 

 acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

Padacchēdam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

English translation:

Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.

Explanatory paraphrase:

Though [Lord Siva is] actually acalaṉ [one who is motionless, being the one immutable ground from which and in which everything else appears], in that assembly hall [of Cidambaram] he dances [in the form of Nataraja] opposite [the divine] mother, who is acalā [the consort of acalaṉ]. Know that when that śakti [the divine mother] subsides back in the motionless form [the fundamental form of Lord Siva], Aruṇācalam is exalted [that is, in the motionless form of Aruṇācalam, which rises high above all his other forms, Lord Siva shines exalted in his natural state].

Note : 

The word Achalan means the motionless one and is a name of Lord Siva which is used to denote the fact that He is the immutable, Supreme Reality. The word Achalai means the consort of Achalan and is a name of Sakti, the Divine Mother.

Though He is motionless by nature, in Chidambaram Lord Siva had to dance in front of Sakti in order to bring Her frenzied dance to an end. But in the form of Arunachala Lord Siva remains ever motionless, and thus by the power of His mere stillness Sakti was irresistably attracted to Him and with great love she subsided in Him and became one with Him. Hence of all the forms of Lord Siva, Arunachala shines as the most exalted.

The words ‘ongum Arunachalam’ means ‘rises high’ or rises above others, and hence the words ‘ongum Arunachalam endru ari’ (know that He shines exalted as Arunachala) may also be taken to mean, know that Arunachala is superior (to Chidambaram)!

2021-07-26a Kensington Gardens: Michael James discusses 

Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai - The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala,  Verse 1

🕉️

This video begins with Sadhu Om singing verse 1 of ஸ்ரீ அருணாசல நவமணிமாலை (Śrī Aruṇācala Navamaṇimālai), ‘The Necklace of Nine Gems for Arunachala’, and then Michael James explains and discusses the meaning and implications of it:

அசலனே யாயினு மச்சவை தன்னி லசலையா மம்மையெதி ராடு — மசல வுருவிலச் சத்தி யொடுங்கிட வோங்கு மருணா சலமென் றறி.

acalaṉē yāyiṉu maccavai taṉṉi lacalaiyā mammaiyedi rāḍu — macala vuruvilac catti yoḍuṅgiḍa vōṅgu maruṇā calameṉ ḏṟaṟi.

பதச்சேதம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, ஓங்கும் அருணாசலம் என்று அறி.

Padacchēdam (word-separation): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, ōṅgum aruṇācalam eṉḏṟu aṟi.

அன்வயம்: அசலனே ஆயினும், அச் சவை தன்னில் அசலை ஆம் அம்மை எதிர் ஆடும். அசல உருவில் அச் சத்தி ஒடுங்கிட, அருணாசலம் ஓங்கும் என்று அறி.

Anvayam (words rearranged in natural prose order): acalaṉē āyiṉum, a-c-savai taṉṉil acalai ām ammai edir āḍum. acala uruvil a-c-satti oḍuṅgiḍa, aruṇācalam ōṅgum eṉḏṟu aṟi.

Though actually one who is motionless, in that assembly hall he dances opposite mother, who is acalā. Know that when that śakti subsides back in the motionless form, Aruṇācalam is exalted.

A Montanha Sagrada de Arunachala

Apenas um pensamento em Arunachala é o suficiente para conceder a libertação, porque se pensarmos nela, ainda que só uma vez, isso iniciará um processo pelo qual a nossa mente será limpa dos seus desejos de se afastar para o exterior e, assim, será atraída de volta para o interior e devorada pela consciência pura, que é a verdadeira natureza de Arunachala, como Bhagavan descreveu no versículo 10 de Śrī Aruṇācala Padigam:

Eu vi uma maravilha, a colina magnética que agarra [ou atrai à força] a alma. Subjugando a atividade travessa da alma que pensa nela ainda que só uma vez, puxando [arrastando ou atraindo] aquela alma para encarar a si mesma, a única [ou incomparável] autoconsciência infinita que brilha dentro do coração como 'Eu', e assim tornando-a acala [imóvel] como ela mesma, ela aceita e consome aquela alma doce [amadurecida espiritualmente e pura] como bali [alimento oferecido em sacrifício]. Que maravilha isto é! Ó almas, sejam salvas pensando no grande Monte Aruna, este matador da alma, que brilha no coração como 'Eu'.

Shiva vachanam: -  Shiva said:

🕉️  Since their (karma) nature is to bind all the worlds, the vicious actions (karmas) are bondage (runa). This Hill indeed is the effulgent Arunachala (A-runa-achala - the hill that destroys bondage), the refuge, by seeing which, they (the karmas) become non-existent.

~  SRI ARUNACHALA MAHATMYAM - THE GLORY OF ARUNACHALA

Note : In a footnote to this Tamil verse Sri Bhagavan explains that the word ‘runa’ here means bondage. Here the word actions (Vinaigal) denotes all actions of the body, speech and mind, including the root-action (Mula-Vinai) the rising of the ego. Since the rising of the ego is the root of bondage, and since this Hill roots out the ego of those who see it or think of it, it is called 'A' ‘runa’ 'achalam' the Hill (achala) that makes bondage (runa) nonexistent and it is the refuge for all those who seek freedom from the bondage of action which is caused by the rising of the ego.

This verse was composed on Monday, 14th June 1926.

Since it removes the cruel heap of sins from all the worlds, and since bondage becomes non-existent when one sees it, it is (named) Arunachala (the Hill that destroys bondage)!.

‘Siva Vachanam’ - Shiva disse:

Ella ulagun tagai-yav viyalal Polla vinaigal runa-mam puhalidu Illa dadu-vam edukan nuralal Ellar Aruna chala-mam iduve.

Uma vez que a sua natureza (karma) é prender todos os mundos, as ações viciosas (karmas) são escravidão (runa). Esta Montanha, de facto, é a refulgente Arunachala (a montanha que destrói a escravidão), o refúgio, que ao ser vista, eles (os karmas) se tornam inexistentes.

~ Sri Arunachala Mahatmyam - A Glória de Arunachala - “Shiva Disse”, V.4

Este versículo foi composto na Segunda-feira de 14 de Junho de 1926

Numa nota de rodapé a este versículo em Tamil, Sri Bhagavan explica que a palavra ‘runa’ aqui significa escravidão.

Aqui, a palavra "ações" (Vinaigal) denota todas as ações do corpo, fala e mente, incluindo a ação raiz (Mula-Vinai) que é o surgimento do ego.

Uma vez que o surgimento do ego é a raiz da escravidão, e uma vez que esta Montanha arranca o ego daqueles que a vêem ou pensam nela, ela é chamada de 'A' 'runa' 'achalam' a Montanha (achala) que torna a escravidão (runa) inexistente e é o refúgio para todos aqueles que buscam a libertação da escravidão da ação que é causada pelo surgimento do ego.

Visto que remove o montão cruel de pecados de todos os mundos, e visto que a escravidão se torna inexistente quando alguém a vê, ela é (chamada) Arunachala (a Montanha que destrói a escravidão)!
