[Guest guest]

bhUta bhrut (star-Ashwini) = bhUtAni bibharti iti = The one who bears/sustains

all the beings.

Poem - Tiruccanda viruttam - 8 (TirumazhiSai AlwAr TiruvaDigaLE SaraNam)

Brief Interpretation with Poem: Maintaining this body is a highly difficult task

compared to creating it. All the bodily needs must be continuously fulfilled

again and again, without a break. You have given me this body and are

maintaining it continuosly. You keep maintaining all the universes like this

without a break and you endure enormous strain in the process. There is no one

in all these universes (however powerful he might be) who is atleast competent

enough to measure the magnitude of this huge task which you are carrying out.

Whom else other than you can I call by the name bhUta bhrut, O my Lord!!

 

Poem in English :

1) To the first person (Brahma).

2) To the Celestial World (Your heavenly abode).

3) To the paramount nityAs (Celestials).

4) You the foremost supreme controller.

5) You can tell the ending time of the foremost like Brahma.

6) Who can tell about you, who are the supreme controller (the time).
