pArthan and ThErthan
The word thErthan refers to purity and pArthan to arjunA. Sri KrshNA who is
supreme gave Himself fully to arjunA and came down for the sake of PANDAvAs and
did all errands for them.
arjunA despite all this wanted to worship shivA and Sri krshNA obliged him with
his thiruvadi and arjuna worshipped the thriuvadi with flowers.On his dream
arjunA had the vision of shivA bearing the flowers on his head and arjunA
realised the Supremacy of the Lord -the thErthan.
'thErthan vulagaLandha sEvadi mEal pUnthAmam sEarthavaiyEa
sivan mudi mEal thAN kaNdu
..pArthan theLindhozhindha painthuzhAyAn perumai'' thriuvAimozhi2-8-6;
This is svAmi nAmAzvAr.
Sri Thriumangai AzvAr also uses the same terms in a single pAsuram.
The supreme Lord of the worlds, charioted for the sake of arjunA and won the
protected the pANDAvAs.Therthan rode the chariot for pArthan.
'pArthanukku aruL seidhu bhArathathu oru thEar mun ninRu kAthavan thannai
viNNoAr karu-mANikka mA-malaiyai---thErthanai ." Thirumozhi 9-9-8;
