Avvayaar
Avvaiyaar, the renowned Tamil poetess, came to be
revered as a saint. She had no one home & travelled where her fancy took
her. This brought her into contact with all shorts of people. Poor and rich,
commoner and king, were alike to her.
A story is told of the origins of Avvaiyaar. It is
said that she was born of a a low-caste mother and a high-caste father. The
father forced the mother to abandon the child, but this story is not accepted
by all.
There is also a popular belief that the cowherd
boy who came to the aid of the hungry Avvaiyaar was Lord Muruga (or
SUBRAHMANYA) himself come down to meet the great poetess. And, of course, it
was only before this deity in disguise that Avvaiyaar acknowledged defeat.
Avvaiyaar's poems are vigorous and zestful and
full of earthy common sense and wisdom. They also provide telling insights into
human nature.
According to him:
"This Tree is said to be of historic
importance with stories associated to the renowned poet in Southern India -
Avvaiyaar."
IN THOVALAI taluk of Kanyakumari District the
worship of Avvai locally known as Avvai Nonbu or Avvai Viratham has been
common. Tuesdays, especially during the Tamil month of Adi, are considered to
be the most auspicious for the worship of Avvai. Kurathiyarai near
Alagiapandipuram has a rock-cut shrine facing south. Although the presiding
deity is Mahavishnu, the temple is locally called Avvaiyaarammankoil and the
image on the left side of Lord Vishnu is believed to be that of Avvai.
During the Tamil month of Adi women come to the
temple on Tuesdays and prepare Kozhukkattai (a round shaped cake of rice flour)
as an offering to Avvaiyaaramman. As per palm leaf records and a stone
inscription of 1077 A.D. found in Melkarai, Alagiapandipuram was once called
Adiganur.
The National Highway No. 47, which connects
Naanchilnaadu and Kongunaadu gives a clue that Aay Naadu was a long and narrow
strip of hilly land from Idalakudy (Idar Ay Kudy) in Naanchilnaadu to Thakadur
in Kongunaadu. Much folklore is woven around the name of Avvaiyaar in the area.
Presumably, the shrine of Avvaiyaar was erected by
Naanchil Porunan, who ruled this land with Kurathiyarai as his capital, or
Thakadur Porunan (Adigan) who had close relations with Naanchil Porunan. The
word Kurathi also denotes a Jain nun. On this basis some scholars claim that
Avvaiyaar was a Jain.
About 10 km. south of Kurathiyarai on the way from
Bhuthapaandi to Aaralvaaimozhi is a hamlet called Avvaiyaarammankoil, which
takes its name from the shrine dedicated to the poetess. The presiding deity
Avvai is enshrined under an Amla tree and is hence known as Nelliyadi Avvai.
The belief is that it was here that the great poetess left this mortal world.
There is a traditional story that Avvaiyaar had
arranged for a marriage near Aaralvaaimozhi to which she invited the sovereigns
of the Chera, Chola and Pandya kingdoms. The kings erected pandals in the
respective places allotted to them and this event led to the place being called
Muppandal. There are remnants of three separate mandapams and a shrine of Avvaiyaar
in their midst.
One can see two images of Avvaiyaar in sitting
posture inside the temples of Esakkiamman nearby. There is also a separate
shrine of Avvaiyaar near the Esakkiamman temples where she is in standing pose,
with a stick.
In some parts of Kanyakumari district women
prepare saltless Kolukkattai during mid-night and observe Avvai Nonbu. They do
not reveal the details of the Nonbu to the male members and don't serve the
kolukkattai to them either. But they have no restriction on visiting the temples
of Avvaiyaar.
Unlike in other parts of Tamil Nadu the name
Avvaiyaar is very common among the members of both sexes in Thovalai Taluk
(Avvaiyaar Ammal for female members and Avvaiyaar Pillai for male members).
