I have tried to represent a half of a Thiruppugazh song through rangolis......
This is "Saravana Bhava Nidhi" in the ragam Brindavanasaranga....
To better understand the rangolis please read the meanings that i have posted...
First Stanza:
The tall one, who sleeps on the bed of AdhisEshan, who is also Narasimhan, that Vishnu - You have come as His nephew, and You are full of wonders! One who removes all slags of the mind, One who is the purest and One who is supreme, that UmAdEvi, PArvathi, has delivered You to us, Oh MurugA!
Second Stanza:
The seven lower worlds, starting from Athala and Vithala, trembled severely when Your Peacock flew over, with You mounted on it, full of light! You prevail in the middle of the ShaNmugA Hexagonal Wheel (ShadkONam)* (* Shanmukha Hexagon - ShadkONam - has six sides each one representing the six letters of Shanmukha Manthr: Sa, Ra, Va, Na, Bha and Va.) seated beautifully, Oh Harahara Siva Siva, Oh Great One!
Third Stanza:
Your eyes are full of compassion and grace! You are the younger brother of the unique primary God, elephant-faced VinAyagA, who is always at Your side! The souls of the devotees dedicating their sweet poems to You are assured of salvation by Your grace and love!
Fourth Stanza:
Lives in this world surrounded by seas go through so many sufferings; they are subject to much confusion and such agonies; and to remove all these and for them to attain eternal bliss, the only solution is the shadow of Your two feet. Will You grant me that shadow one of these days?
MURUGA: You should grant it to make our lives happy!
First comes Lord Vishnu and Goddess Parvati as to how they are related to Lord Muruga ....
Secondly, the song describes the peacock and how it travels the lower worlds with the Lord.....
Then comes Lord Ganesha, as Lord Muruga's elder brother....
Finally it refers to, how the Lord takes care, of the sufferings of all living species in this water surrounded world ......
