His fame got the jealousy of chief minister of the Kingdom. He claimed Arunagirinathar as a false saint and not a true devotee of Lord Subramaniya. So the king arranged a public gathering and asked Arunagiri to show Lord Subramanya to others also. Arunagiri started singing songs towards Lord Muruga and soon after Lord Muruga appeared in a stone pillar in the form of child. He was so bright as equal to hundred of suns and the people were unable to see this with their ordinary eyes. Due to this everybody lost their eyes including the king and ministers. It was suggested that bringing the Parijatha flower could only get sights back to the people. Arunagirinathar is said to have entered the body of a parrot in order to fetch the parijatha flower. His enemy Sambandan burnt his body & hence Arunagirinathar settled himself on the temple tower in the form of the parrot and sang his famous Kantharanubhuthi. There is a form of a parrot in one of the sthubis (Kili Gopuram), testifying to this story.
The duo-sisters were very popular for their matchless rendition of national and devotional songs. They had a hectic practice for about three decades and were much sought after for providing background music in films. Their Kanda Shasti Kavasam album is very popular with the Lord Muruga devotees.[2]
Among the two of them, Jayalakshmi had rendered only a few songs in films and most of it would be duets with Rajalakshmi, whereas Rajalakshmi had more chance as a playback singer in films. Her voice suits all the categories of youthful, soft mellifluousness, evocative feelings, perfection of pronunciation and the best in devotional songs.
Many of Rajalakshmi's songs are under K. V. Mahadevan's music direction all the while. Many of her songs were under T. G. Lingappa. She also sang under her own music compositions. She sang more often in the 1950s while during the 1960s, she was only sought in songs that needed more than one female voice.
Kandar Alankaram

By Swami Arunagirinathar
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Transliteration by Elango Kadhirvel
[This great poetic work was written by Sanit Arunagiri Nathar, the author ofThirupugazh, which is considered as one of the greatest poem collectionspraising Lord Subrahmanya. I am quoting from Wikipedia article about him:Arunagiri was born in Thiruvannamalai, a town in Tamil Nadu. His father diedsoon after his birth and his mother and sister brought him up in the richcultural and religious traditions. Legends claim that Arunagiri was attracted tothe pleasures of the flesh and spent his youth in pursuing a life of debauchery.He used to get money from his sister each time to go to devadasis. His sisteralways gave whatever she earned to make his brother happy. One day he demandedmoney from his sister, but unfortunately she had no money. She was very sad andsaid, "Oh brother, I am sorry that there is no money to give you today."Arunagirinathar shouted how it is possible and he wanted money now to havepleasure. His sister then said "Brother, if you need to have pleasure thenplease come sleep with me, tomorrow I will get you the money somehow". Hearingthat, Arunagirinathar felt how self centered and selfish he was. He decided toend his life, went to the temple hit his head in all the pillars and steps,begging for forgiveness. Then he leaped from the tower of Thiruvannamalaitemple. He was however miraculously saved from the death by Lord Muruga who alsotransformed him to a holy saint instantaneously. Arunagiri sang his firstdevotional song and thereafter decided to spend the rest of his life singing inpraise of the god. He was a devotee of Lord Muruga and worshipped the God atVedapureeswarar temple at the sacred place known as Cheyyar on the banks of theCheyyar River. His fame got the jealousy of chief minister of the Kingdom. Heclaimed Arunagirinathar as a false saint and not a true devotee of LordSubramaniya. So the King arranged a public gathering and asked Arunagiri to showLord Subramanya to others also. Arunagiri started singing songs towards LordMuruga and soon after Lord Muruga appeared in a stone pillar in the form ofchild. He was so bright as equal to hundred of suns and the people were unableto see this with their ordinary eyes. Due to this everybody lost their eyesincluding the King and ministers. It was suggested that bringing the Parijathaflower could only get sights back to the people. Arunagirinathar is said to haveentered the body of a parrot in order to fetch the parijatha flower. His enemySambandan burnt his body and hence Arunagirinathar settled himself on the templetower in the form of the parrot and sang his famous Kantharanubhuthi. There is aform of a parrot in one of the sthubis (Kili Gopuram), testifying to this story.[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunagirinathar] It is clear from this great work thatthis great saint was equally proficient in Sanskrit and Tamil. Most of the partsare very difficult to translate. I have wholly depended on the Tamil translationby Sri Pi. Ra. Natarajan published by Shakunthala publications, Madras and theone available in nayanmars.net for doing my translation of Sri KantharAlankaaram. One of my young friends, Sri Elano Kadhirvel has done thetransliteration. It is much more scientific than the normal transliteration thatI do.]

(Protective Verse)
Adal arunnai thiru gopurathe antha vaayillukku
vada arugil sendru kandu kondean varuvaar thalaiyil
thada-pada enapadu kuttudan sarkkarai moikkiya kai
kadathada kumba kallithrukku illaya kallithrinaiye
In Thiruvannamalai, which grants salvation just by its thought?
Inside the pretty inner Gopuram sits lord Ganesa facing north,
With his trunk for eating food, exuberance, and broad forehead,
Receiving the hits with clenched palm on one's forehead,
Creating the sounds of Thada and Pada and also the jaggery,
And I salute his younger brother, who is the elephant of wisdom.
Paethrai thavam satrum illaatha ennai prapanjam ennum
saethrai kazhiya vazhi vitta-vaa sengchadaa adavi Mel
Aat-trai paniyai ithazhiyai thumbaiyai ambuliyin
Keethrai punaidha perumaan kumaran krupaakarane
Oh God who showed me the way out of the mire of worldly illusion,
Which tried to stick to me, who does not have holiness for getting salvation?
Oh merciful Lord who is the darling son of Lord Shiva,
Who holds the holy river Ganges and snake in his red forest like matted hair,
And who also wears the Thumbai flower and the single crescent of the moon. 1

kazhuththil surukkittu izhukkum anrO kavi karrkinrathe
Oh people, who waste their time by not learning without mistakes,
The prayers addressed to Lord Muruga, which are capable of,
Destroying bad fate and avoids you being born to another mother, know that,
At the time of your death when the angry Yama with smoke filled eyes,
Rolls them and puts the noose in the rope of his in your neck to take out yourlife,
Without any benefit, possibly you would start learning them. 2

When the sharp Vel from the hands of Muruga,
Son of him who went in a decorated great chariot,
And destroyed the three cities, just by his laugh,
Split in to powder the mountain called Krouncha,
And destroyed the great formation of the army of asuras,
It managed to save the land of Indra, king of devas. 3

Oh Lord Muruga, who along with his army killed within a second,
The very bad Soorapadma, with your sharp Velayudha,
Which made blood ooze out of his very black body?
So that the devas of heaven are saved,
Please tell me what shall be done by me because,
My mind prevents my five senses not think of your lotus like feet,
Nor think about your holy names, nor worship your feet with flowers. 4

After drinking the milk of Uma who looks like a golden doll,
And who gave birth to the entire world and its beings,
After climbing and swinging in the floral cradle of Saravana stream,
After drinking the breast milk of the six Karthiga ladies,
Who cries and made cry the sea, Krouncha Mountain and Soorapadma,
Can this world calls you the old man** of Kurinchi* land? 5

When we slowly and slowly start loving that Kumara,
Who likes the breasts of the girl who guards the maize fields,
WE would get in our mind the divine and great pleasure,
And as soon I tasted the sweetness that is spread by the great pleasure,
Suddenly to me the sweet sugarcane was salty and sweet honey bitter. 6

Oh guard who has the Vel, in the war with Soorapadma,
In the tank of blood oozing out of the chests of ghosts and asuras,
You jumped, drowned and drank and encouraged the devas,
To play in the battle field by sending your Vel,
And so please help me to remove the trance of ignorance,
In me, who is living in this world full of dishonesty and lies,
Which have tied me by foolish deeds and which make me sad. 7

Oh teacher with six faces, what shall I tell about your kindness,
Which taught me the honey of happiness which was made by you,
In your top peak of your wisdom, mixed with your graceful pity,
And made me, who was living in empty solitude, clear my thoughts. 8

There is one truth taught to me by the royal lord of Valli,
Whose sweet words cannot be compared either to honey or syrup.
That great truth cannot be described by any words,
And which is not the five spirits of earth, water, fire, air and sky,
And which is neither he nor me, which has shape and also does not have shape. 9

Words from the mouth cannot describe the greatness of the Lord,
Who has with him the very powerful victorious Vel,
And who with his mountain like shoulders hugs the goddess Valli,
Who sweetly murmurs in his ears the song set to music of the mountain,
And who has reddish mouth resembling the Kovvai fruit.
That Lord in his position of stability bereft of all desires,
Taught me with his grace all that which can be told. 10

The God Velayudha who has a bright dazzle and a Victorious Vel.
Rides on a peacock* which runs faster then the horse, who churns the guts ofAsuras
Due to speed generated because of its stirrup which is tightly held,
And which is constantly beaten by the whip,
And the wind generated by the movement of the wings of that peacock
Moves the Meru Mountain and the marching steps of that peacock,
Powders the mountains in all eight directions which sprayed dust,
And which turned even the oceans in to hills of dust. 11
* Peacock is the steed of Lord Kandha.Some say that is Indra and others say thatit is Soorapadma with whom he waged war. It is believed that the Vel splitSoorapadma in to two and one part became the Peacock and the other a Cock, whichoccupied the flag standard of Muruga.

.
The cock,which came in a submissive state to Lord Muruga,
Who has the great power of exterminating the army of his enemies,
Made his flag be called as a victorious flag by one and all,
And became capable of destroying problems created by his enemies.
Flapped its wings and due to this the oceans were torn asunder,
The sky and the horizon broke and all the mountains along,
With the mount Meru in the middle were powdered in to dust. 12

The young son of the Goddess who has the God as her half,
Wore a bell in his pretty waist and the sound 'kling klang' from that bell,
Created great fear in the heart of all asuras, made every one deaf,
And the eight mountains with golden Meru in the middle,
Which touched the skies trembled because of it,
And these events removed the fear from the mind of Devas. 13

Oh God with six heads, the thunderous clap of your twelve hands,
Broke the eight mountains in eight directions in to pieces,
Made the mount Meru tremble and saved the devas,
Oh God please take me, who dances with the idea that life in earth iseverything,
And who wanders all around due the confusion created by the trance,
In to your grace and save me from these delusions. 14

Oh nephew of the God, who begged for three steps of earth from Mahabali,
And took the superior form and his steps touched the highest mountains,
Your small steps touch the peacock rushing towards the battlefield,
And the heads of devas as well as the book of poems that I wrote. 15

Oh people of the world, don't allow your mind to wander as it likes,
Completely leave out the very harmful anger, give charity to the poor,
And firmly establish yourself in these three different good aspects,
And if you do so the grace of Lord Muruga, who with great anger sent his sharpVel,
On Soorapadma and also broke the Krouncha mountain to save the world,
Would come of its own so that you would be able to see it. 16

And also share the broken rice that you have with the poor, always. 18

And who also sent your Vel to break the Krouncha Mountain which was helping him,
And who thus saved the devas, please give me your feet more reddish than lotus,
So that I would not enter this body which is a lie and get sweet salvation. 31

And take bath in the sea of divine happiness and bliss,
And as a result my waves of wisdom clears my confused mind? 35
