Thirukkolur Penpillai Ragasiyam – Thirukkolur Ammal Secret Thirukkolur Penpillai Ragisimyam contains 81 statements that have deep insight and purport comparing sages and yores who had displayed utmost faith and surrender to the Golden Feet of Lord, Sriman Narayana. 17.அடையாளம் சொன்னேனோ கபந்தனைப் போலே! The Ramayana narrates: Kabandha was born as a gandharva (celestial musician) named Vishvavasu. He was the son of the gandharva Sri Vishvavasu or Sri and was also known as Danu. Vishvavasu performed penance and got the boon of immortality from the creator-god Brahma. He became arrogant due to his boon and attacked Indra, the god-king of heaven. Indra used his celestial weapon the Vajra (thunderbolt) and drove Vishvavasus head and thighs into his body. Vishvavasu pleaded that he be given a way to find and eat food. Upon Vishvavasus beseeching, Indra gave him two long arms and a mouth on his belly. Indra also decreed that Kabandha would regain his original form when Rama severes his arms. Kabandha spent his days near the hermitage of the sage Matanga in the Krauncha forest. There, he spent his time scaring sages. Once, Kabandha attacked the sage Stulashira, who cursed him to remain in his hideous form for eternity. Upon Kabandhas pleading, the sage reduced his curse and said that Kabandha would be freed of his form, once Rama and Lakshmana severe his arms. So Kabandha waited in that forest for Ramas arrival. In an encounter with Rama and Lakshmana, the brothers sever his arms and proceed to cremate his corpse. Upon his death, Kabandha resumes his gandharva form and directs Rama to the Rsyamukha Mountain, where the exiled monkey-chief Sugriva is hiding. Kabandha advises Rama to form an alliance with Sugriva, who would be of assistance in the search for Ramas wife Sita, who had been kidnapped by Ravana, the demon-king of Lanka. Following Kabandhas instructions, Rama befriends Sugriva and rescues Sita with his help. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking Did I give any help to the Lord like what Kabandha did?
