thiruchchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

Other than the whole world(s) no other slaves;

Other than Self there is no companion;

With the nails worn out showering flowers in

worship, with the whole face brimming with

tears the servants who salute and hail,

other than their hearts there is no abode,

for our Lord aiyARaNAr !

 

Notes:

1. Lord shiva being the Master of the worlds

is hailed as vishveshvara. He has no master

above Himself, and He is the Master of everything

so hailed as sarveshvara and parameshvara.

2. As the only Eternal, He cannot have a companion

who is different from His Self for ever. (and He

is the only company for us !)

3. The third description portrays the picture

of the ardent devotees which brings to

imagination none other than appar himself.

The selfless devotees unable to even care about

their nails being worn out absorbed themselves

completely into the service of God, with the

brimming emotional tears adorning their faces,

(c.f. n^IrorukAl OvA n^edun^thArai kaN

panippa - thiruvampAvai )

what else could be the better abode for our

Lord other than the warm cozy heart of such

devotees !
