Namaskaram
These is the sahityam from a pushpanjali. Can someone help clarify the meaning of one of the lines? Thank you very much!
VA varam aRul gaNapatiye vandeNaiAl guNa nidhiye (This sentence meaning is clear...one clarification enaiAl means rule over me? Arul sei?)
The next line is
MA vaLamaikku adhipatiye mahimai taRum maRai oLiye (my clarification request is for the last word oLiye. Meaning for the whole line will also help!)
Thank you again very much!
Priya

Oh gaNapati (gaNapatiyE)! Please come (vA) and grant (aruL) me (desired) boons (varam). Oh repository (nidhiyE) of sterling character/virtue (guNa), please come (vandu) and admit me to your grace (enai AL).
Oh lord (adhipatiyE) who is responsible for great (mA) prosperity (vaLamaikku)! Oh light (oLiyE) of the vEdas (maRai) that grants (tarum) glory (mahimai)!
gaNapatiyE/nidhiyE/oLiyE indicate that the composer is calling out gaNapati, or the repository (nidhi), or the light (oLi) - like sambodhana prathama in samskRtam.
ALudal - means to rule over someone like a king, OR, in the case of a divine being, being admitted to their grace.
