Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Icchamayam ennidathil anbu vaiyungal
Icchamayam ennidathil anbu vaiyungal
Indha eesanukku saabam undu kandu kollungal
Indha eesanukku saabam undu kandu kollungal
Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Ethanai adiyaarai vaazhthiya kaigal
Ippodhu thiruvodu yendhiya kaigal
Ethanai adiyaarai vaazhthiya kaigal
Ippodhu thiruvodu yendhiya kaigal
Katti veitha ponnarisi kotti vidungal
Kaiyil ottiyulla oduthanai thatti vidungal
Kaiyil ottiyulla oduthanai thatti vidungal
Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Aandavan endru silar ennai azhaippaar
Aandi ivan endrae bhramman azhaithaan
Saathirathil vandhadhillai indha paavam
En aathirathil vandhadhu thaan indha saabam
En aathirathil vandhadhu thaan indha saabam
Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Maithunan veetil ellam virundhu kolvaar
Indha maadootti pichaiyendru vandhu nirkindren
Kaithalam paarthu konjam karunai seivaai
Ivan kabaali endra peyar maraiya seivaai
Ivan kabaali endra peyar maraiya seivaai
Pichandi thannai kandu pichai idungal
Ungal periya karangalinaal alli idungal
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Pichandi Thannai Kandu" from the movie 'Ganga Gowri' is a poignant plea from Lord Shiva, who appears in the guise of a beggar (Pichandi). The lyrics beautifully capture Shiva's humility and the irony of his situation, where the one who blesses countless devotees now holds a begging bowl due to a curse. He reveals that this curse is not from scriptures but a consequence of his own anger, referencing the legend of Shiva beheading Brahma's fifth head, which led to him carrying the skull as a begging bowl (Kapali form).
The song evokes a sense of pathos and devotion, as Shiva, the supreme being, seeks alms and compassion from mortals. He contrasts his current state with his divine status, mentioning how some call him 'Lord' while Brahma called him a 'beggar'. The reference to his 'brother-in-law' (Vishnu) enjoying feasts while he, the 'bull-rider' (Shiva), begs, adds a touch of human-like vulnerability. Ultimately, it's a call for mercy to alleviate his cursed state and erase the ignominious name 'Kapali'.
