Oohapoha viveka bahya nilaye, Oonadruk dhojjwale,

Oorjaswan mani mekhala vilasathe, orri kruthartha priye,
Oordhwa thodhbhava yoga moola nilaye, Ooshma baharojjwale,
Ootha ksheera sudhathrudha tribhuvane, vande Akhilandeswari. 6

My salutations to the goddess of entire universe,
Who is beyond the debates of assumption and presumption,
Who shines in all sort of things that exists in all sides,
Who shines in the gem studded waist belt that she wears,
Who takes liking to those who are interested in religion,
Who exists in between the long and short yogas,
Who shines by removing problems of people,
And who looks after the three worlds by her milk.

Ruk vedathi nishevithe ruthunathe rudhanukambhavahe,
Rudha modha mukhepsthe, ruthunathe, rukshouka samsevithe,
Rukshadeesa kalanvidhe, runathamo baswath padamboruhe,
Ruddhya poorita vishta pathranuthe, vande Akhilandeswari. 7


My salutations to the goddess of entire universe,
Who is worshipped by Vedas like Ruk,
Who is worshipped by the different seasons,
Who shows great mercy on her devotees,
Who has a mouth that has sweet smell,
Who is worshipped by the seasons,*
Who is worshipped by great sages,
Who has crescents like the moon,
Whose feet remove the darkness of unfulfilled duties,
And who is being worshipped by the wealthy world.
* This is repeated in the text. May be there is some other meaning.

Roopa roopa sada shivanthara gathe, roope sada roopinee,
Roppatheedha para parartha nilaye rudabhra rudathmike,
Nrunaam janmajara pahara nilaye, nrudhrana kalpa dhrume,
Nrunaam papa vimochanadhya phaladhe, vande Akhilandeswari. 8


My salutations to the goddess of entire universe,
Who in visible and invisible forms lives as the principle of Lord Shiva,
Who is the one with the form, which exists forever,
Who is beyond form and the truth above form,
Who exists as invisible one in the chant 'Ru',
Who is the sound and soul of the chant 'ru',
Who gives solution to birth, death and aging,
Who is the wish giving divine plant,
And who saves us from the sins committed by us.

Kluptha sesha jagan mahesa nilae, klupthanga ragojjwale,
Kluptha kluptha visangyamara vilasanmanbhavali ranjithe,
Lingaradhana thathpare, likucharajath pani pangeruhe,
Klutha kalpa mano hangara thilake, vande Akhilandeswari. 9


My salutations to the goddess of entire universe,
Who exists in the Great god who improved the entire world,
Who shines because of the anointed Sandal,
Who has three folds in her very narrow belly,
Who is deeply involved in the worship of Lord Shiva,
Who has a heart similar to the lotus flower,
And who has a pretty body like a climbing tendril.

Loodhatheesa gajendra poojitha pathe looka hidesanvithe,
Kleengarankitha bindu peeta nilaye kleemkara rupethithe,
Lootha hanthu jadi krudhesa nilaye loonahi valleethave,
Lootakshmapathi mukthi dathrumahive, vande Akhilandeswari. 10


My salutations to the goddess of entire universe,
Who has been worshipped by the spider and the elephant,
Who removes bad things from life,
Who sits in the seat of the sound of 'Kleem',
Who has the form of 'Kleem',
Who exists in god with matted hair with a spider,
Who is similar to a cut climber,
And who is the consort of God who gave salvation to a spider.

Vinayagar Paattu

 Sri Mathre namaha:


விநாயகர் பாட்டு

பல்லவி

அனுகிரகம் செய்ய வாரும்-ஆனை முகா

அனுகிரகம் செய்ய வாரும்

அனுபல்லவி

 சனிக்ரஹம் அனுகா ஸர்வானுக்ரஹ

வினை விக்ரஹம் செய்யும் வேழ முகத்தனே. (அனு)

சரணம்

ஔவைக்கு ஞானகுரு ஆகிய கணநாதா

அரை நொடியில் கயிலை சேர்த்தருள் திருப்பாதா

மூவுலகும் துதிக்கும் முதற்பொருள் ஆனவனே

மோதகம் விரும்பிடும் மூஷிக வாகனனே. (அனு)

வேலவன் வேண்டிடவே வேழவுருக் கொண்டாய்

விரும்பிய வள்ளியை மணமுடித்து தந்தாய்

மாலவன் தோர்பிகர்ணம் போட மகிழ்வுடனே

மறுபடியும் சக்கரம் பெறவே அருள் புரிந்தார்

(அனு)

Akilandeswari Akshara malika 1-5

Sri Mathre namaha


Sri adi Sankara bhagavadh pada wrote a famous stotra called Akilandeswari Akshara malika to praise and worship matha Akilandeswari.
As he has already done same mantra  mathruka pushpa mala on devi this pushpamala is named especially on Akilandeswari as 
Akilandeswari Akshara malika /
Akilandeswari mathruka pushpa mala

Here he has stringed a garland of 53 verses with a beautiful combination of Sanskrit words starting from "A" to "sha"

peculiarity of this stotra is that it has 53 verses which correspond to the 53 alphabets and respective verse containing mostly words starting with that alphabet

There is also a story that Adhi Sankara who visited this temple drew a Sri Chakra on her ear studs and hung it on her ears. The stotra which was available to me was in Tamil script. So there may be mistakes in the transcription.

Story of Thiruvanaikovil Goddess Akilandeswari and Jambunadhar

Sri Mathre namaha
🙏

Image of Goddess Akilandeswari at THIRUVANAIKAVAL Temple near Tiruchirappali


The deity's name means: Supreme Goddess ("Eeshwari") - who rules ("Aanda") - the Universe ("Akhilam") in Tamil or Ruler of ("Eeshwari") the entire ("Akhila") Universe ("Aanda") in Sanskrit. Hence, Akilandeswari.


 Jambukeswarar Temple, Thiruvanaikaval (also Thiruvanaikal, Jambukeswaram) is a famous Shiva temple in

Tiruchirapalli (Trichy) district, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India

 

Thiruvanaikal is one of the five major Shiva Temples of Tamil Nadu (Pancha Bhoota Stalam) representing the Mahābhūta or five great elements; this temple represents the element of water, or neer in Tamil.


Once Parvati mocked Shiva's penance for betterment of the world. Shiva wanted to condemn her act and directed her to go to the earth from Kailasam (Shiva's abode) to do penance. 


Parvathi in the form of Akilandeswari as per Shiva's wish found Jambu forest (Thiruvanaikoil) to conduct her penance. She made a lingam out of water of river Cauvery (also called as river Ponni) under the Venn Naaval tree (the Venn Naaval tree on top of the saint Jambu) and commenced her worship. The lingam is known as Appu Lingam (Water Lingam). Siva at last gave darshan to Akilandeswari and taught her Siva Gnana. Akilandeswari took Upadesa (lessons) facing East from Shiva, who stood facing west.



There were two Siva Ganas (Siva's disciples who live in Kailash): 'Malyavan' and 'Pushpadanta'. Though they are Siva Ganas they always quarrel with each other and fight for one thing or other. In one fight 'Malyavan' cursed 'Pushpadanta' to become an elephant on earth and the latter cursed the former to become a spider on earth.

My father L.Subramanian wrote a song on Goddess Akilandeswari and posted that in my channel .click below to watch the video

 The elephant and the spider came to Jambukeswaram and continued their Siva worship. The elephant collected water from river Cauvery and conducted ablution to the lingam under the Jambu tree (Eugenia jambolana, the rose-apple tree) daily.



The spider constructed his web over the lingam to prevent dry leaves from dropping on it and prevent sunlight directly falling on it. When the elephant saw the web and thought it was dust on lingam. The elephant tore them and cleaned the lingam by pouring water and the practice continued daily. The spider became angry one day and crawled into the trunk of the elephant and bit the elephant to death, killing itself. 

Siva, in the form of Jambukeswara, moved by the deep devotion of the two, relieved them from the curse. 



As an elephant worshipped Siva here, this place came to be known as Thiru Aanai Kaa (thiru means holy, aanai is elephant, kaa (kaadu) means forest).

 Later the name 'Thiruaanaikaa' become 'Thiruvanaikaval' and 'Thiruvanaikoil'.


As an outcome of having committed a sin by killing the elephant, in the next birth, the spider was born as the King Kochengot Chola (kotchengannan cholan meaning red-eyed king) and built 70 temples and this temple is the one among them.

 Remembering his enmity with the elephant in his previous birth, he built the Siva Sannathi (sanctorum) such that not even a small elephant can enter. The entrance on the sanctorum of Jambukeswara is only 4 foot high and 2.5 foot wide.


There was a story behind the king's red eyes - When he was in his mother's womb the palace astrologer predicted a sacred time to give birth to enable the newborn's well being.

 The queen went into labor early, before the time predicted by the astrologer. The queen hence told the servant to hang her upside down for the time to come so that she could have a wise and virtuous son who could head the kingdom righteously. 

This waiting time inside the womb made the baby's eyes red. After becoming the king, he built the temple for Siva and Goddess Akilandeswari in the name of Aanaikka (elephant protected) later days it changed to Thiruvanaikovil.
