thirucciRRambalam

 

Meaning:

thillaith thiruchchiRRambalam, where annam is blessed,

will bless with the life in golden world (heaven);

Also on this earth, my love roars seeing and rejoicing.

Will this birth last even further (to enjoy this)?

 

Notes:

 

1. annam pAlikkum can be interpreted in the following ways

a. swan wandering - describing the picturesque thillai

surrounded by paddy fields where swans wander.

b. blessing with food - the basic need of the body

fulfilled at this holy abode - through mAhEshvara pUjai.

c. providing liberation - Bliss - the food for the soul.

annam - cORu - Bliss.

2. "The darshan of the Dancing Lord at thillai thirucciRRambalam

not only provides a great life after the life on this earth,

right here see how rejoicable is this sight of this Blissful Lord!

If it could be spent in rejoicing this Lord, can this life last forever?"

asks our saint.

c.f. iniththamuDaiya eDuththa poRpAthamum kANappeRRAl

3. For one who has achieved Bliss right here, where else

should the journey be planned to, to go and achieve the same.
