thirucciRRambalam Meaning:Making the holy shade pandhal at thiruvAnaikkA,when

the spider got destroyed, the Lord of thirukkuRukkai vIraTTAnam made it born in

thefamily of chozAs of fertile empire surrounded bywhirling kAviri river as

kOcceNkaT chOzan. Notes:1. There was a spider living in AnaikkA wherethe Lord

is under the white nAval (jambolana) tree. The intense heat of sun used fall on

the Lord'sshivalingam.

This spider made a web above the Lordmaking a shade that cut down the sun

rays.There was an elephant that used to worship theLord offering water and

flower. That did not realizethe service of the spider. It thought of the web as

anannoyance on the Lord and removed it with its trunk.Spider got agitated by the

disturbance to its serviceand bit the elephant. In the process both the

elephantand spider died. Elephant having done shivapUjagot liberated there

itself. Spider even though couldn'tdo the pUja with its limited capabilities,

did theshivapuNya of making the shade. So it was born asthe great kOccheNgaT

chOzar of sangam times.He constructed very many grand abodes (shades!!)for the

Lord (which are all such a way that elephant cannot enter!). The story of this

chOzar saint isavailable at http://www.shaivam.org/nakoochc.html2. The story of

kOcceNgaT chOzar

insists thatwhatever be the restrictions one has, one has to do whatever

possible shivapuNya (service to Lord shiva).That would definitely bring great

fruit and could be a seed for the ultimate gift later. That is why thirumUlar

insists "epparicAyinum Eththumin.EththinAl apparicu Ican aruL peRalAmE" (Worship

in whatever way. If worshipped, that will be the way to receivethe grace of

God.)3. ulan^thu - destroyed; avaN - there; cONADu - cOlaikaL mikka n^ADu -
