Pogai Aazhwar's --Mudal thiruvandhadi.

Poigai Aazhwar has sung 100 hymns compiled under the heading Mudal Thiruvandhadhi.[2082--2181]. I have attempted to translate few of them which are as follows---

Vaiyam thagaliya-----The world as a lamp.

**Vaiyam thagaliya varkadale neiyaga veyya kadhiron vilakaga -seiya sudaraazhiyandike chootinen solmalai idrazhi neengave indru..............................2082

With world as a lamp and the ocean as ghee, and the bright sun as the lighted wick,

I have this day garlanded the feet of the 'One' beholding the dazzling chakra , with my hymns,

So that he may remove all obstacles.

**Mannum malaiyum marikadalum marudhmum vinnum vizhungiyadhu meiyenbhar yenil alagalavu kandaseeraazhi yayiku andriv ulagalavum undo un vai?..............2091.

If it is true that you had once swallowed the earth, mountains , ocean , air and the sky,

How immeasurably ,infinite must be your strength and power!

**Pazhude pala pagalum poiyina yendru anchi azhuden aravanai mel kandu thozhuden kadloratham kaal alaipak kanvallarum sengan adaloda vannar adi.................2097.

Today I cried recalling with horror all those days I frittered away without worshipping the feet of my swamy ,The One with red rimmed eyes and who is in deep meditation [yoga nithra] in the middle of the ocean , whose waters lap gently at his sea hued form!
