This is a tivaruTpA by Sri rAmalinga aDigaLAr.
(I have used the familiar transliteration method.)

mAyai enum iravil en manaiyagattE viDaya
vAdanai enum kaLvartAm
vandu mana aDimaiyai ezhuppi avanait tamadu
vashamAga uLavu kaNDu
mEyamadi enum oru viLakkinai avittu enadu
mei nilai shALigai elAm
vERuRa uDaittu uLLa poruL elAm koLLaikoLa
miga naDunguTRu ninaiyE

nIdi ilaiyO ? daruma neRiyum ilaiyO ? aruLin

Would appreciate if anyone could post the meaning of the above arutpA please.

[Rajani]

Here is a basic translation. Others may add :

AyamaRai muDi ninRa tillaiyampadi maruvum
aNNalAr magizhum maNiyE !
O precious one, in whom the great lord of Chidambaram, residing in the Upanishads (marai-mudi) delights,

akilANDamum carAcaramum InRaruL para
shivAnanda valli umaiyE !
O Uma, creeper of bliss of Shiva, who is the mother giving birth to the universe with its moving(cara) and unmoving(acara) objects!

mAyai enum iravil en manaiyagattE viDaya
vAdanai enum kaLvartAm
These five thiefs, namely desire for the 5 sense(vishaya=viDaya) objects , having entered my house (ie body) under the darkness of Maya(delusion)

vandu mana aDimaiyai ezhuppi avanait tamadu vashamAga uLavu kaNDu
Entering, they rouse my mind , who is their slave anyway, and bring him under their sway, and spy on the house(take stock)

mEyamadi enum oru viLakkinai avittu
Putting out the only light abiding there - the intellect

enadu mei nilai shALigai elAm vERuRa uDaittu uLLa poruL elAm koLLaikoLa
Breaking the defences/armours of truth (or being fixed on the Truth), as they steal all the (spiritual) wealth accumulated there

miga naDunguTRu ninaiyE nEyam uRa OvAdu kUvikinREn
I am trembling in fear and calling out to you incessantly with love

shaTRum nin shevikkERa ilaiyO ?
Does it not reach your ears even a little?

nIdi ilaiyO ? daruma neRiyum ilaiyO ?
It is justice? Is this the path of Dharma?

aruLin niRaivum ilaiyO ? en sheigEn ?
Are you not the pinnacle of grace? What do I do?

Rajani - beautiful!

Thanks Ravi. Was a revelation that Vallalar has sung such moving poetry on Devi also. I had only heard his songs on Siva and Muruga.

This song forms part of 4th tirumuRai. There are 10 stanzas on Mother - called 'ammai tiruppadigam' (2591-2600). Please refer to -
