Save me O compassionate one

[Guest guest]

O Divine Mother

Even to worship Thee

I need Thy boundless grace

Then hold me not in error

For my ignorance of Thee

Forgetful my true nature

Of the joyful oneness with Thee

I burn in agony in this hell of duality

O compassionate one!

Moved by sympathy

Will you not save me?

 

ITRANS for Tamil

I find the ITRANS for Tamil awkward for "Ra ^na ", this ^na is

used so often that the "tha na". May be Adhawin is better, since

I am on Unix machine, I do not have access to TTF fonts. I will

try it later and let you know. Besides, aadhwin software has

many of the grantha script. Personally, I have started using

grantha for my handwritten notes. You will find the grantha

script in

It was paramAcharya's wish that we use this for writing

(especially sanskrit texts). With little approximation, I find

when I use grantha, I find more at home than using devAnAgari

itself (especially for Tamils).
