SIVAPURAANAM – PART 5.7

LINES 45 TO 48

maatRam manam kazhiya nindra maRaiyOnE

kaRandha paal kannalodu neikkalandhaaRp pOla

chirandha adiyaar sindhanayuL thEn ooRi nindRu

piRandha piRappaRukkum engaL perumaan

மாற்றம்மனம் கழிய நின்ற மறையோனே

கறந்த பால் கன்னலொடு நெய்கலந்தாற் போலச்

சிறந்த அடியார் சிந்தையுள் தேன் ஊறி நின்று

பிறந்த பிறப்பறுக்கும் எங்கள் பெருமான்.

In these lines, Manickavasagar describes the lord as the core of Vedas (maRaiyOnE), who cannot be described by words or imagined by our mind. He is beyond imagination and description. (maatRam – Words and manam – Mind. Kazhiya means not able to).

The Lord is sweetly imbibed or absorbed in the minds of good devotees.

How sweet?

As sweet as Honey (thEn ooRi nindRu).

If you mix (kalandhaaR pola) sugar (kannalodu) and ghee (nei) to the fresh cow milk (kaRandha paal), how sweet will it be? That much sweet.

Then he addresses the lord as ours – engaL perumaan. Our lord will cut off the cyclic birth from that instance one starts to pray to Him – piRandha piRappaRukkum.
