Thiruppugazh of Arunagirinathar (Tamil, 15th century CE) — song 1, sung at Tiruvannamalai · Arunagirinathar · c. 15th century CE
Arunagirinathar of Tiruvannamalai, after a misspent youth, in utter despair climbed the temple tower (gopuram) to end his life. Lord Murugan caught him, saved him, and touched his tongue with the Vel, granting him divine wisdom. When the Lord bade him sing His praise and Arunagiri faltered, Murugan Himself uttered the words 'Muthai tharu...' — and with them the entire Thiruppugazh, thousands of songs in dazzling metre, poured forth from the saint.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is said that Lord Murugan literally placed the first words of the Thiruppugazh, 'Muthai tharu', upon Arunagirinathar's tongue with His Vel — and that ever after the saint could compose, on the instant, songs of the most intricate rhythm in praise of the Lord at every shrine he visited.

ಅರ್ಥ:This is the very first song of the Thiruppugazh ('Glory to the Holy One'), the great Tamil hymn-cycle of Saint Arunagirinathar in praise of Lord Murugan. Tradition holds that Murugan Himself gave Arunagiri the opening words 'Muthai tharu' to begin his songs.

mukkaṭ para maṟkuch suruthiyin muṟpaṭ ṭadhu kaṟpith thiruvarum muppaththu muvarkkath thamararum ...... aḍipēṇa
ಅರ್ಥ:The verse extols Murugan as the one whose pearl-like sacred smile bestows the pearl of liberation in devotion; the son of the Mountain-Goddess's Shakti; Saravanabhava; the seed of mukti and the supreme Guru — who taught the foremost meaning of the Vedas even to His three-eyed father Shiva, while the hosts of the gods cherish His feet. It recalls the deeds of Vishnu (Murugan's uncle): He whose arrow made Ravana's ten heads roll, who churned the ocean with Mount Mandara, who turned day to night with His discus — that emerald-hued cloud-dark Lord. Then comes the poet's prayer: 'Will there ever be a day when You protect me too with such loving grace?' The closing lines paint the battlefield where Bhairavi and the eight Bhairavas dance amid drum-beats and the cries of vultures and owls, as Murugan cuts down the friendless demons and pierces the great Krauncha mountain — O Great Lord (Perumale)!

Thiruppugazh — Muthai Tharu ಪಾರಾಯಣದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು
The very first and most beloved song of the Thiruppugazh — held to be given by Murugan Himself to Arunagirinathar.
Chanting it is believed to bestow Murugan's grace, sharpen the intellect, and lead the devotee toward liberation (mukti), as its opening words declare.
Its intricate metre (chandam) trains the tongue and mind; singing it is considered a powerful spiritual and even rhythmic discipline.
Recited for devotion to Lord Murugan on Tuesdays, Krittika nakshatra days, and during Skanda Sashti and Thaipusam.
Loved across Tamil Nadu and the Tamil diaspora; it is one of the most frequently sung of all Murugan hymns.
Thiruppugazh — Muthai Tharu ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Sit before an image of Lord Murugan with His Vel and peacock. Learn the rhythm (chandam) of the song carefully, for the Thiruppugazh is sung in precise metrical cadence; chant 'Muthai tharu' slowly at first, keeping the beat, and let the pauses (marked by the gaps) fall correctly. Sing with devotion, dwelling on the meaning, and close with 'Perumale!'. Many begin their Thiruppugazh recitation with this first song before singing others.
