thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Need love for Your ornamented Feet that is sincere

devoid of any insincerity. Owning up me, the dog like,

 

please bless welcoming, "Ah, come !" Taking up which,

I, the slave, praising time and again, "Hail Thee",

coming time and again to salute You, death after death

!

 

Notes:

1. There is a story. A sage who did long years of

austerity when coming to know that he had to take

one more birth before getting liberation became sad

and he had to continue severe austerity. There was

normal person who when coming to know that after the

births that equals the count of the leaves in a tree,

he would get liberation, was excited by that for the

fact that atleast after so many births he is surely

going to get liberation. He was awarded immediate

mukthi.

Here mANikka vAcakar does not seem to be worried

about undergoing the cycles of births and deaths.

What he is more concerned about is God letting him

"also" to be one of the slaves. "Just that is enough,

I will come again and again and keep saluting the

Lord and rejoice", he says.
