Sekar posting
Mr sekar forwarded bhajan posting at Amur at Trichy along with the Udayalur
Troup known well. (kalyanaraman). Amoor apart from the Bhakthi is a famous
place insanga kalam where the title AMOOR MALLAN went to Pallava
narasimhan. Āmūr-mallaṉ is a name related to the historical geography and
rulers of ancient Tamil Nadu, occuring in Sangam literature such as the
Akanāṉūṟu and the Puṟanāṉūṟu.—Notes: (Puṟam. 80) *mallaṉ* “wrestler”, cf.
Māmallaṉ Nṛsiṃhavarmaṉ Pallava. Āmūr was in Cōḻanāṭu (Subrahmanian 1990:
84).
          References to Tamil wrestlers are available from Sangam
literature belonging to 1st century CE to 3rd century CE. Pura Nanuru verse
80 by Sathanthaiyar described a fight between Killi and Amur Mallan. Killi
broke the wrestler’s leg like an elephant breaking a bamboo tree under its
foot.

*The story behind: Tittan was one of the prominent Chola kings who ruled
from Uraiyur. He had a son called Perunarkilli and a daughter named Aiyai.*

Perunarkilli grew up to be a handsome prince, earning special affection of
his mother. But the king was disappointed in him because Perunarkilli spent
most of his time outdoors. The king complained about him to the queen, who
would pacify him, saying that being the prince, Perunarkilli, was certainly
aware of his responsibilities and would shape well when the time came for
him to succeed his father on the throne.

The king did not argue with the queen any further, and only wondered how he
could reform his son.

One day, the ruler of the neighbouring Pandya kingdom was calling on Tittan
and he very much wanted his son to be present on the occasion. On enquiry,
the king was told that the young man had, as usual, gone out of the palace
with his friends. Later, when Perunarkilli came back, his father gave vent
to his anger and there was a big argument between the two. The king ordered
Perunarkilli not to stir out of the palace for the next thirty days as he
was expecting a marriage proposal from the Pandya king. Perunarkilli did
not obey the King’s command. After dusk, he slipped out of the palace alone
and was not seen for several days.

Perunarkilli wandered from village to village and ultimately landed up in
Amur, in Thondai Nadu where, luckily, nobody recognised him. That village
had been made famous by a wrestler called Amur Mallan. He had given a
standing challenge that anybody could have a bout with him. Perunarkilli
was adept at wrestling.

He went up to Mallan’s house and shouted : “Hey Mallan! I’m ready to fight
you at the public square tomorrow!”Mallan retorted : “I’ll have one or two
lessons for you which you’ll remember all through your life!”

Some of the villagers tried to dissuade the young man from taking on
Mallan. They were surprised when they found him determined.

The wrestling began in right earnest. Each of the wrestlers took cautious
steps, trying to ascertain the weakness of the opponent. Then they grappled
each other. Mallan managed to reach his rival’s neck, but Perunarkilli
anticipated his tactic and foiled it. In a flash he toppled Mallan who
caught hold of his opponent’s leg. One kick by the same leg and
Perunarkilli freed himself. Mallan was surprised that the young man could
anticipate every move of his. The bout went on for nearly an hour and both
wrestlers were now breathing hard and getting tired. Perunarkilli watched
for a moment’s inattention on the part of Mallan, and in the next second he
was lying flat in front of the young challenger.

A loud cheer rose from the crowd. Perunarkilli was raised on to the
shoulders of two strong villagers and they paraded him around the village. It
was then that he revealed his identity. Prince Perunarkilli of Uraiyur!

News soon reached King Tittan, but he was not excited. His wife pleaded
with him to forgive the prince, and he relented. Tittan understood her
feelings, and secretly arranged for two soldiers to go and meet
Perunarkilli and persuade him to return to Uraiyur.

The entire kingdom rejoiced when the prodigal prince came back.

Tittan now looked at him with pride     kr irs 7523
