"pul aakip pooTaayp puzhuvaay maram aakip

pal virukam aakip parravaiyaip paampu aaki

kallaay manitaraayp peyaayk kaNangkalaay

val asurar aaki munivaraayt tevaraaych

chella a nindra ittaavara sangkamattuL

ellaap pirrappum piranthu iLaitten emperumaan

meyye un pon aDikaL kanTu indru veeDu uTren." (in Tamil)

meaning,

I am now tired, O God , having been born variously as different

types of plant starting with grass, as worm, as variegated trees, as

different animals, as different birds, as reptiles, as the inner

crust of stones and rocks, as man, as ghosts, as devils, as mighty

demons, as saints, as celestial beings, as stationary inert beings

and as moving objects expending kinetic energy.

But today, all that has changed, for I have sighted and worshipped at

Thy beautiful Feet and have attained salvation and everlasting bliss.
