The tamil text thiruvAsagam calls the Lord as "aazhnthaganRa nuNNiyane". aazhndu means deep, denotes the depth of knowledge, aganRa means wide and nuNNiya indicates even minute details. It indicates that they (shiva-shakti) know everything, to its ultimate depth, and with all great details. Such range, in all things is possible only for God. The whole Universe is their body, and not even a sparrow falls without the knowledge of our Father-Mother (shiva-shakti), and not an atom moves without their knowledge/will. On the contrary, our knowledge is limited. Knowing our limitations shiva-shakti have made most of the actions of our body as involuntary (like digestion, blood flow) with no knowledge or memory of them, otherwise, probably we will mess it up. But their knowledge is complete and well organized, and they know everything of everything. shivam means auspiciousness, they are all auspicious and no wonder they are called ashubhApahAbhyAm. Being the parents of all the worlds and beings, they are the only unique. namaH shivAyai cha namaH shivAya Corrections and comments are welcome, as I write the meanings as I understand it without any aid.
