Celestials there are none who know HER not

Penances there are none which exclude HER presence

The mighty five can accomplish nothing without HER power

The means to liberation I know of none except HER

--

 

The immortal devas realize HER as the essence of all. The

penances and sacrifices are always offered to HER whether the

sacrificer knows it or not. The mighty five (pancha bhuuta-s who

control five essential elements, earth, water, fire, wind and

space) cannot even move a blade of grass without power. The five

here can also mean the five life sustaining prAnas (prANa, apAna,

vyAna, udAna, and samAna). SHE is the means and goal of

liberation.

uur here corresponds to viiDu and means liberation.

aaRu means path. the remaining tamil words are commonly used

and easy to understand.
