A song to celebrate the annual car festival at Kallidaikurichi (Tirunelvely Dt) in the Sri Lakshmi Varaaha Swamy temple.
Note: Muthuswami Dheekshithar has written a song in Abhogi about this deity (Sri lakshmi varaaham bhajeham). The car fills the streets and the fervor with which the crowds shouting "ஆதிமூலா, அனாத ரக்ஷகா, pull the car is to be seen to be believed- oh! the atmosphere is charged. Unmindful of the melee, He sits atop his high perch, enjoying the spectacle, gently swaying to the chants!
Legend has it that KubEran carried this Varaahamoorthi in a water-pot (kudam) and had stopped at the Thaamraparni river for a bath, when the pot was tipped over by Agasthya in the form of a crow. The varaaha idol refused to budge and was consecrated here by KubEra (Dheekshithar says KubEra prathishtitham). This Lord has the maximum number of garuda sEvais every year as compared to any other perumaaL.
Generally most bhakthi poets ask to be liberated from the cycle of birth and death. I felt that it is only through a human birth and with the human vision we can enjoy such a bliss as seeing this car festival. So we pray to to him to be born again and again. Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi says "pullaayp piRavi thara vEndum, kallaayp piRavi thara vEndum"but without human faculties, can we savor such sights?
Note: பொருனை: தாமிரபரணி, பொருனைக்கரைப் பெருமாள்: கல்லிடைக்குறிச்சியில் உள்ள லக்ஷ்மிவராஹப் பெருமாள், திரு: லக்ஷ்மி, திருமணி: கௌஸ்துபம், துழாய்: துளசி, சங்கடம் தீர்ப்பவன்: சங்கடஹர என்று தீக்ஷிதர் கிருதியில் உள்ளது

ராகம்: த்விஜாவந்தி
(ப) பொருனைக்கரைப் பெருமாள்தேர் காணவோ
ஒருபிறவி இருகண்கள் போதுமோ? (
(அ.ப) திருவினை மடியில் ஏந்திய வரதனாம்
திருமணித் துழாய்கள் துலங்கு மார்பனாம்
(ச.1) பெருஞ்செல்வந்தன் குபேரன் குடமும்
உருண்டதால் உதித்த வராக உருவம்
கருவிழி அழகன் சங்கடம் தீர்ப்பவன்
கருட வாஹனன் பவனி வருபவன்
(ச.2) மானிடப் பிறவியினி வேண்டாமெனப்
பாடியபலரு மொருமுறை யேனும்
ஆதிமூலன் அநாதரக்ஷகன் தேரில்
ஆடிவரு மழகைக் காணாதவரோ? (Note: பொருனை: தாமிரபரணி, பொருனைக்கரைப் பெருமாள்: கல்லிடைக்குறிச்சியில் உள்ள லக்ஷ்மிவராஹப் பெருமாள், திரு: லக்ஷ்மி, திருமணி: கௌஸ்துபம், துழாய்: துளசி, சங்கடம் தீர்ப்பவன்: சங்கடஹர என்று தீக்ஷிதர் கிருதியில் உள்ளது
