பொய்கை மலையருகே — உதிரப்பட்டி அம்மன்Poigai Malai Arugay — Uthirapatti Amman — Lyrics & Meaning
A pastoral Tamil devotional song to Uthirapatti Amman — the Devi of the garden grove beside Poigai Malai. Her face like a blossomed lotus, the southern breeze blows fragrant for those who remember her feet, and all that she has sown within the devotee's heart will reach her sacred feet as a good flower.
The Story Behind This Song
Near Poigai Malai lies the Devi's garden grove (nandhavanam); her face itself is a blossomed lotus, O Mother. With pann (the classical Tamil melody) we have come to sing your glory; we have sought out Uthirapatti, we have come seeking you. The southern breeze that caresses the flower-gardens blows fragrant — and for those who remember your feet, the stains and blemishes of the mind disappear. The closing meditation: all that rises on earth returns to the sky; all that you have sown within us will, as a good flower, reach your sacred feet.
